I have just joined this list hoping to find out more about my husband's ancestors who lived in Franklin County in the late 1700s and mid 1800s. Lavina (or Lavinia) WARNER, was b in Swanton, Franklin Co VT 12 May 1801, m at Swanton 23 Sep 1818, Lyman K.(KINNEY?) BABCOCK son of Elias and Huldah (KINNEY) BABCOCK. Lyman and Lavinia had at least 13 children in Swanton, (William, Warner Daniel C., George W., Elias S., Sanford G., Lyman Allen, Chauncey S., Delight P., Melissa Almira, James Madison, Electa Ann, Elias Jackson, and Louise Adelaide. The family moved to Dodge Co., WI sometime between 1843 and 1855. Who were the parents of Lavina? Was she a daughter of John WARNER, son of the John WARNER who m first a HURLBURT and second Joanna and was a brother of Seth WARNER? I suspect this is the case, but have found no documentation to prove or disprove this. I'd like to hear from anyone researching the Swanton WARNERs, and would like to exchange information on BABCOCK, KINNEY and any other related families. I'd also welcome any suggestions as to how I might continue my research on Lavina WARNER. Paula in Arizona
