Hi also a note on the "three Rivers area" this may have been named after the three rivers "Troisriviers" area in Quebec, alot of families from Quebec moved down to work in the mills and often moved back after afew years. Ironically the Russells and Reynolds and Coreys migrated from the Berkshire County Hancock area to Quebec during the Revolutionary war and named the area in St.Armand "Hancock Hill" there is a cemenatary there called the Russell cememtary aka "Hancock hill" my ancestors are buried there. Right across the border from highgate Vt. one of my Reynolds branches marries a Russell then they settle in Frankilin Vt one town over from Sheldon. Is the three Rivers area near Hancock? Carollee Reynolds, are we going in cirrcles yet? Katherine Ayers <[email protected]> wrote: In various census years, there were Mason families in Swanton, Sheldon, Highgate, and Fairfax. Have you explored these various families? In 1870 there was an Edward Parrow married to an Esther, both about 37 years old and born in VT. They had three children: William, Ellen, and Emma. Was this your family? They were in Boston. He was an iron moulder. In 1880 there was an Edward Parrow, married but no spouse or children listed. He was about 48, born in VT. He was a moulder. He was in Watervliet, Albany County, NY. With reference to Three Rivers village, the Palmer area had several mills, primarily textile mills. During your time frame, there were probably jobs there. It might be that the family moved to wherever there was employment. ----- Original Message ----- From: To: Sent: Wednesday, April 19, 2006 10:22 PM Subject: [VTFRANKL] Esther Mason Parrow of Swanton > This is a Message Board Post that is gatewayed to this mailing list. > > Surnames: MASON, RUSSELL, PARROW > Classification: Query > > Message Board URL: > > http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/pAC.2ACI/2169 > > Message Board Post: > > Searching for the parentage of Esther Mason b. 30 Jun 1832 married Edward N.
