Subj: FOUNTAIN; VT; 1895 Date: 1/10/99 To: [email protected] Hello anyone, My great grandparents moved from Willsboro, NY to Vermont. I believe the Burlington area in 1895-96. My grandparents names Carlos FOUNTAIN and Anna L (Lucy) Swinyer. They had 3 children in New York, a son (name ?), son Charles Fountain, daughter, Amanda Belle Fountain (my grandmother born in 1895), and I believe they had 7 more children in Vermont. The names of the children born in Vermont that I have are: William Fountain, Frank Fountain, Dick (Richard?) Fountain, Blanche Fountain, Sylvia Fountain, Aleda Fountain, and Betty (Elizabeth?) Fountain. Would appreciate any help finding birth/marriage/death dates on any of the above. Thank you for any help. Jeanne [email protected]

Hello, I am looking for help in locating the siblings of Eli Warren SWINYER (10th child). His parents were listed as David SWINYER of Sudbury Vermont and Amanda M. Andrews SWINYER, of Chesterfield, Essex County. Eli had one sibling that I know of Anna L. (Lucy) SWINYER. I don't have her date of birth but do know that she married Carlos C. FOUNTAIN on 25 Sep 1888. There should be 8 more siblings. Would appreciate any information at all on the SWINYER name. Thank you, Jeanne [email protected]

Kathy, I will copy the info at work on Monday and mail it out to you. Don't worry about the cost. Who knows maybe one of my ancestors owed yours some money at one time!! Cynthia

Angela, In the "History of Newbury" book under Hall they show a John, Daniel, Jacob, Enoch, Elijah and Isaac N. Any of them sound familar? There is no McClintock's listed. Cynthia

Would like to find gravesite of SARAH (AYER) RACKLEY and her parents, NATHANIEL AYER (probably d. Vershire), and DESIRE (WILLIAMS) AYER, (d. Vershire, 23 APR 1813). Nathaniel Ayer owned 100 acres in Vershire, "from Moses Morey, 2nd Lot, original right of Samuel King, Lot #70". This lot was granted to his son, Joseph Ayer, 13 APR 1806. On 9 MAY 1806, Nathaniel and "wife" received the land from Joseph and returned it to him with a note for $1000, with the stipulation that Joseph is to care for his parents, Nathaniel and Desire. Joseph sold the land 6 FEB 1819. Sarah's husband, PELETIAH RACKLEY, came to Western NY ca.1830, with some of his children, and was buried Evergreen Hill Cemetery, Corfu, Genesee Co., NY, 12 MAY 1835. [Gravestones exist forPeletiah, son Joseph, Joseph's wife, and Joseph's adopted son, Alonzo Post Rackley.] Sarah probably died before the move to NY, perhaps on the way to NY. In 1995, the minister in Vershire checked all of the gravestones in the cemetery by the church and found no RACKLEY or AYER graves. Are there other cemeteries in Vershire? How could I find information about them? [The Vershire town records have been checked.] Thank you very much for any help you can give. Gary Green 46 Franklin Street Westfield, NY 14787-1038

Hello, I am new to the list and would like to hear from anyone researching the HILL families of Randolph, Orange County VT.

Any information (other children, etc.) on this family would be greatly appreciated. Chris Carpenter, CT

Thank you, Jim. Someone did a look-up for me in a book they had for cemeteries in Thetford, but no real success. Don't think it listed all the cemeteries though. Will have to further check out what other cemeteries there are in the areal. Thanks again, Toni Feeney Saco, Maine "James V.

Tony, I don't know if this will help you in your research, but Thetford's Cemeteries have been recorder and they have published there findings. I hope this will assist you.

Gary, I have been researching in and around Tunbridge, VT for the past few years. As you are aware many records are still kept by the Town Clerks, especially for the time period thast you are looking for. my wife and I were recently in Tunbridge, VT. There was a History of Tunbridge written, but as of warlier in 1998 it was out of print. There is a library in Tunbridge that has a copy of this book. There are some gravesites around Tunbridge and the graves do have markers. I don't know if anyone has copied all the grave stones around Tunbridge. There is a Web Page for the Folsom's (Fulsom's) on the Internet and the genealogy of the Folsom's have been recorded. You might want to check this out. I don't have the address. In a village not far from Tunbridge is Thetford and someone from Thjetford did record all the grave sites. I hope this will help you in your research.

I looked through that book in the DAR library last fall. Try and get it on inter-library loan from Newbury through your library. I was looking for Haseltine. What family are you researching there?

Am wondering if anyone has a Gardner/ Russell connection, possibly in Thetford, Orange Co., Vt.? I have a George Russell Gardner born around the early 1800's, unknown where, and married to a Sally Foss, whose father, Josiah Foss m. to a Priscilla Bartlett who were in Thetford, Vt. in the early 1800's. George and Sally had a son, Russell Gardner b. in Derby, Orleans Co., Vt. in 1833. Know there were Gardner's, Russell's, Foss' and Bartlett's in Thetford in this time frame, but have not been able to confirm all the connections. Any help will be greatly appreciated. I also have a book, that I just received called "Once Upon A Town," by Charlotte McCartney which is a book about Thetford. It isn't indexed, but will do lookups for anyone looking for a particular name that was in this town from 1761-1830. Regards, Toni Feeney Saco, Maine

If you were addressing your message to me, SSmith9327, I am a direct descendant of General Jacob Bailey/Bayley. I am researching his descendants Issac, Issac Alpha, Henry Ward Bayley and their wives, Betsy Johnson, Ruth Chamberlain and Julia Ellen Dutton. Also Prudence Noyes, the wife of the general. Henry Ward Bayley and his wife, Julia Ellen Dutton are my great grandparents. Do you have any information on any of these people? Sandra from NH, wintering in Florida

>To Joe and others. Vermont records are not only with the town Clerks. >They are stored in Middlesex. They also have a huge collection in >Montpelier called the Nye collection...where you can find I might not have seen the message that Sue was responding to so this might be redundant: The LDS Family History Center in Los Angeles -- and probably other regional LDS FHC's -- has some, maybe all, of the Vermont Town records on film. A couple of us WELLS researchers found valuable information (birth, marriage, death, etc.) on the Corinth cards. A few months ago, my wife and I drove from California to Corinth! There wasn't much research to do when we got there because we already had the information in our files -- thanks to the good folks at the FHC here and in Salt Lake City, as well as an online cousin.
