Hello – I am researching Apphia SMITH who married Richard GOODWIN in Tunbridge, VT in 1807. She was born about 1787. Neither her marriage record nor her death record list her parents or her place of birth. She died in Glover, VT in 1843. She and Richard moved to the Glover, Orleans Co/Sheffield, Caledonia Co. area sometime after their marriage. They had at least 5 children. Researching Smiths in Tunbridge runs one smack into the family of the Morman prophet Joseph SMITH. From what I can pick up on the internet, I don’t think Apphia was of this family. Two brothers – Joseph and Stephen SMITH – settled in Tunbridge early, coming from New Durham, NH in 1794. Apparently they were sons of Josiah and Apphia (Smith) Smith. Although the names Joseph and Stephen are found in the family that would become Mormans, I don’ t think these are the same people. I speculate that Apphia was a daughter of Josiah and Apphia. The name Apphia was not that common at that time. By the way – Josiah and Apphia also came to Tunbridge, as both died there. There was also an Obadiah SMITH in Tunbridge early. If anyone has a lead on the Smiths of Tunbridge, I would appreciate it!

** PLEASE DO NOT REPLY TO THIS MESSAGE IN SUCH A WAY THAT YOUR REPLY GOES TO THE MAILING LIST. ** Greetings: I apologize for what I see as the need to send this message, and for duplicates that you may receive. I am *NOT* inviting discussion on this topic. Far from it. But, with recent events and news reports, some announcement seems to me to be in order. Fortunately, I am talking about something which is NOT a problem on our list right now. Let's help it stay that way. There are some nasty new strains of malicious programs, such as the MSBLASTER worm, which have been turned loose on an unsuspecting and undeserving public. (There is no use wondering about the immature and corrupted nature of a person who would do such a thing.) We are well past the point where not opening attachments can protect us from infection through e-mail. If you are running any form of Microsoft Windows, it is an ABSOLUTE NECESSITY that you have an up-to-date antivirus program installed on your computer and properly set up. There are any number of good ones. Use one, and keep it current. Second, malicious programs LIE. They lie about what they are doing. If they come in e-mail, they lie (in their teeth) about who sent them. This is very important to understand. If an infection *seems* to come from a RootsWeb mailing list, it is a lie. If it seems to come from a person with whom you have corresponded, it *may* be a lie. Third, virus alerts, scam alerts, and SPAM alerts are ABSOLUTELY FORBIDDEN on this mailing list, unless sent by the list admin -- who is myself. There are **NO EXCEPTIONS**. Such alerts are often incorrect, and frequently continue hoaxes that can be as damaging as a virus. ("I found this virus on my computer. I may have infected you, so if you find this virus on your computer please delete it." So you do -- and there goes a Windows Operating System file you need.) The most important thing is that even if this information is correct, this mailing list is NOT the place to post it. For more information, see any of the antivirus programs' web sites. Another good basic resource may be found at: http://helpdesk.rootsweb.com/ Look in the left column, and scroll down a bit until you see the link: http://helpdesk.rootsweb.com/announce.html#virus Again, I apologize for what I see as the need for this message, and for possible duplicates.

Anyone live in Fairlee that is willing to search out and capture a digital photo of the cemetery marker for Frank Ladeau located in the village cemetery in Fairlee?

http://www.rherald.com/News/2003/0717/Front_Page/f03.html Interesting, a former classmate took me touring the back roads of Gilead.... Bethel-Gilead that is for some of the old cemeteries. The monument sits alone off the beaten path. I took some rather nice photos with my "brownie" for those interested. For background, click onto Randolph's local paper, very nice write up for their "Vacation Issue" Harriet Chase

There are three different Corliss family genealogies listed in the History of Newbury (with the second genealogy somewhat long). I will provide the first and third in their entirety and the second genealogy broken into two parts, and then the Corliss entries form the historical section. For what it's worth, Corliss is also a prominent name in Bradford. I am more than happy to transcribe the Bradford History entry for Corliss if anyone would like it.

End of the Eastman genealogies. next in Line, the Eastman references in the historical section and Corliss references and genealogies.

So as not to keep you on the edge of your seat, the answer is yes and no. The no is that there is no genealogical section on the Gale family. However, there are 4 Gales (Justus, Emory, Leonard, and M.A.) in the historical section. Here are the writeups" Source: Wells, Frederic P.History of Newbury, Vermont : from the discovery of the Coös country to present time : with genealogical records of many families St. Johnsbury, Vt.: The Caledonian Co., 1902, c1900, 857 pgs. Page 158: The first hotel was kept by Mr. Benjamon Bowers, I think, who came here before 1796. He died and was buried in the field near where Mr. Newton field now lives. The hotel is on the spot where the Baldwin block is situated. It was a small house, and after Joshua Hale succeeded Bowers, it was used as an ell to the front which Hale put up, which was just like the house now kept by Johnson, called the Wells River House. This last named hosue was also erected by the Hales, fo rMrs. Hale's sister, Mrs. Barstow. The Hales kept the hotel for many years, and accumulated a good property. After the Hales, the hotel was kept by various persons: one Picket Justus Gale, Jesse Cook, Simeon Stevens, Young and Hobbs, Sawyer and Chaplin, Jacob Kent, and Harry B. Stevens. Page 168 Emory Gale and his brothers Leonard and Justus came here early from Guilford, Vt., Emory married one of the Reed sisters hereinbefore spoken of. he was the father of a large family, among whom now living are Mrs. A.B. White, Mrs. C.A. Gale, and Mrs. Carlos M. Morse of Plymouth, N.H., mr. Gale was engaged in lumbering and farming and was a good citizen. Leonard Gale was never married. He was a mechanic and owned the building now occupied by Sherwin & Son, which had water power under it to propel the necessary machinery used by Mr. Gale, who manufactured various articles. the most important were shingle machines, to saw out short shingles, which were used all about the country. The other important branch of his manufactory was a machine used in manufacturing writing paper. He was a nice man, accumulated considerable property and died here at a ripe old age. Justus kept the hotel for a short time and went west. Page 178 The present [1902] chorister is M.A. Gale. Page 186/7 Emory Gale was chosen part of a committee to choose a place to erect a church. That's all there is on the Gale family in the historical section. Following up on the clue on page 168, I checked to see if there was a Reed family listed, and there was. under the Reed family (page 670) we have: The father of Stephen Reed, of Scotch descent, came to Londonderry, N.H., Stephen m. Jane, dau. of John and Mary (Barnett) Cochrane. He d. at Wells River, May 15, 1815, age 52. She d. there Dec. 21, 1851, aged 88. Children: iv. Polly, m. Emory Gale; d. Jan. 22, 1879, age 87 Hope some of this helps.

Per a request, here is the entry on the Eastman families of Newbury. The entry is relatively long, so I will be breaking it into four parts -- one part for each of the three families and one part for the Eastman entries in the historical section.

Thomas Eastman was one of the first settlers of Weare, N.H., about 1767. He served three months, eight days in Capt. Ezra Currier's Co. of Drake's regiment, which marched to reinforce the army at Saratoga in 1777 and perhaps in other services. His religious views were those of Quakers or Friends. Children: i. Roger, b. Jan. 2, 1769; clerk in a store in Weare for several years; d. un-m in 1790. ii. David, m. Susan Ordway, and settled in Topsham, and had three sons and five daughters, iii. Isaac, b.

They started for Newbury the day they were married, his father driving a four-ox team with their goods, Daniel driving cattle and sheep, and his wife on horseback. They settled at West Newbury, where Warren Carleton now lives, his farm including also a large part of what is now that of W.C. and D. Carleton. They carried on a large farming business and also a cider mill and distillery. He d. March 22, 1840. Mr. David Eastman gives some particulars regarding his father and grandfather which give some idea of what farming was in the earlier part of the 19th century. "Thomas Eastman, like most farmers in those days, went barefoot in the summer. Thomas and Daniel Eastman had a large farm, raising about 150 tons of hay, 100 bu. of corn, 300 bu. of grain, 1200 bushels of apples, most of which they made into cider. They owned a distillery, making 25 or 30 barrels of cider brandy and potato whiskey, at 35 cts. per gallon. They raised about 1/2 acre of flax each year, which the girls of the family made into cloth. From 1800 to 1825, oxen were worth $40 to $60 per pair, cows $8 to $14. Butter brought from 8 (cents) to 12 (cents) and 125 lbs. was thought to be a good annual yield for a cow. The staple product of the farm was wheat, usually worth $1.25 per bushel. Labor by the month was $8 to $10; in haying a man received one dollar for mowing two acres." Children, all b. in N.: Page 536 i. Mary, b. Nov. 6, 1798; d. Sept. 30, 1804 2. ii. Roger, b.

Folks: Sorry for teh delay in getting the next two letters out to the list (death in family), but here are the E's and F's from the History of Newbury. By the way, I also have McKeen's History of Bradford, so there may be a number of overlapping names. While the Bradford history is not indexed, I have entered the entire genealogy section (and other data) into a database (about half on-line and as soon as my wife gives me access to the cable modem, I will update the database -- http://orcuttfamily.topcities.com), so I can check names from the book. Let me know if you think you may have relatives in Newbury or Bradford (hopefully, more Orange County, VT histories to come). Anyway, here's E&F. Eastman, Thomas Eastman, Isaac Eastman, Obadiah Edwards Elliott, Rev. Henry Emerson English Farnham Farnham, Rev. R.W.C. Farrand Farrand, Charlotte P. (Henry) Farrand, Arabella M.

As promised, the memorial to Mary (Worthen) Bliss Source: McKeen, Rev. Silas History of Bradford, Vermont, Montpelier, Vt., J.D. Clark & Son, 1875. Mrs. Mary W. Bliss When one who has lived an exemplary and useful life, passes finally away, it seems fit that some more accessible and satisfactory memorial than the inscription on the grave stone of the deceased, should be preserved; some, at least, brief obituary notice, which may contribute to keep the dear departed in perpetual and loving remembrance. The maiden name of Mrs. Bliss was Mary Worthen; a daughter of Mr. thomas and Mrs. Susanna Worthen. She was born April 11th, 1790. Her parents were worthy members of the Congregational Church, in her native place, Bradford, Vt., who sought to train up their children in the way they should go. Mary, when about eighteen years of age, became the wife of Mr. Ellis Bliss, of the same neighborhood; then some three years older than herself. Surrounded by kindred and friends, they directly commenced housekeeping, and remained in the same habitation during their subsequent lives. Captain Bliss died May 8th, 1851, in the fifty-fourth year of his age; but she continued nearly twenty-two years longer, thus occupying the same comfortable farm house, on the bank of Waite River, near the confluence with the Connecticut for the long period of sixty-five years. Mr. and Mrs. Bliss had thirteen children, two of whom died in their infancy; all the rest lived to marry and remove, one after another, to their several new homes, with the exception of one of the sons, who permanently remained with his mother, and at her decease, was left still in the old homestead, the last there belonging of all its former numerous and happy occupants. Mrs. Bliss left at her decease four sons and five daughters; somewhat widely dispersed through this country; among others, Neziah, a graduate of Vermont University, an attorney at law, in Missouri, and George, a practicing physician in Ohio. He, after an absence of thirty-six years, being informed of his mother's illness, directly telegraphed that he had set out for home; but the news, which but a few days before would have thrilled his mother's heart with joy, came a few hours too late! and when the Doctor, with his two daughters, arrived, her remains had been for two days resting in the silent tomb. A sad disappointment it was to the visitors; but there were kind brothers and sisters with other relatives and friends to receive them most cordially, and mingle their tears of grief and gladness with theirs. It may not be amiss to say here that Mr. Amos Worthen, State Geologist of Illinois, well and favorably known for his voluminous publications in that interesting department of natural science was a brother of the deceased and a native of Bradford. Mrs. Bliss left thirty-two grandchildren and eight great-grandchildren, a posterity of forty-nine persons to rise up and call her blessed. Her own children, know with what patience, loving kindness, and perseverance she labored through all their lives for their comfort; but the intense desire and consuming anxiety which she felt for their spiritual and everlasting good, they can never fully appreciate. She willingly wore out her life in ministering to others; in doing good to all, as she had opportunity. Solomon's descriptions of the virtuous women, in the 31st chapter of Proverbs, must have been penned with some such specimen as she was distinctly in view. But she did not depend on any of these things for salvation. During a season of special refreshing from the presence of the Lord, in the summer of 1831, she was moved to consecrate herself heartily to the blessed Saviour, and to trust in Him alone for pardon, sanctification and life everlasting. With more than thirty others, she that year made a public profession of her faith, and determination thenceforth, to be the Lord's and to serve Him, united with the same church to which her parents belonged, and so continued to the last She, while able to attend and hear, delighted in the public services of the Sabbath, and when deprived of these privileges found great satisfaction in her Bible and hymn book. In her last sickness she was sweetly resigned to the Divine will, beautifully sustained by the promises and consolations of the Gospel; and at the close of her last Sabbath on earth, May 2, 1873, at the age of eighty-three, lacking forty days, passed peacefully away to her final rest and blessedness in Heaven. On the subsequent Wednesday, her funeral services were attended at the church where she had long been accustomed to worship, and her precious remains laid down to repose with her kindred dead until "all that are in the graves shall hear the voice of the Son of God and come forth." God grant that all those for whose salvation she so longed prayed and labored, may with her arise to glory, honor, and a blessed immortality S.McK.

Clark & Sons, 1875 Page 223+ The Bliss Family A Genealogical Chart prepared by Neziah Bliss, Esq., of Missouri, traces the descent of his family from Thomas Bliss, of England, who emigrated to America and settled at Hartford, Ct., about the year 1638-or-9; and who, of course, must have been one of its very early inhabitants, as its settlement was not commenced till 1635. He died there in 1640; leaving four sons and six daughters. Thomas Bliss, Jr., son of the last named, had two sons and six daughters, all natives of Saybrook, Ct., with the exception of the two youngest, who were born at Norwich, near by. Samuel Bliss, son of Thomas, had three sons and one daughter. John Bliss, a son of Samuel, graduated at Yale College in 1710. He had but one classmate, Benjamin Colton. They both became ministers of the gospel. Rev. John Bliss was the first minister ordained in the town of Hebron, Ct. This was in October 1717. He was then a Congregationalist. "He declared for Episcopacy in 1734, and having laid the foundation of a society, a house of worship was erected the next year, for that denomination; and Mr. Bliss preached and read service for them for a number of years afterward." (see History of Connecticut) He died in 1741, at the age of 51. Rev. John Bliss had been twice married and had a family of seven sons and four daughters, all of whom, but two, lived to marry. One of the sons Constant, was shot in the Old French war, at Deerfield, Mass, Aug., 1746. Ellis Bliss, son of Rev. John Bliss, and his second wife, Hannah Post, was twice married and had eight sons and seven daughters. One of his sons, Flavel, was drowned in 1778, off the ship Trumbull, at New London, while guarding British prisoners there. Another son John, was drowned at Bradford, Vt., while engaged in building a bridge across the Waits River in 1803. A daughter, Lydia, married Andrew B. Peters of Bradford. The youngest son John Flavel, born June 28, 1788, was a minister of the gospel in Western New York. The father of this large family remained and died at Hebron, Ct. Ellis Bliss, Jr., son of the Ellis last named, and his first wife Tamar Dewey, was born at Hebron, April 9, 1871. He served for 9 months in the war of the Revolution; married Abigail Taylor; emigrated ti Bradford, Vt., and made, as a farmer, a permanent settlement here, in the south part of the town, somewhat back from the river. They had two daughters and six sons. Four of the sons died in childhood. Their eldest daughter Abigail, born at Hebron, Ct., June 7, 1787, married to Dr. Lockhart Wright of Bradford, Feb., 1798, and had two sons, Neziah and Hubbard, and one daughter, Abigail. Mrs. Dr. Wright died at the house of her son Hubbard Wright, in Bradford, July 3, 1855. Lydia Bliss, born at Bradford, August 31, 1783, married Absalom Baldwin, May 25, 1801, and died Feb. 4, 1860. See Baldwin Family. Flavel Bliss, born Dec. 11, 1791, married Hannah Corliss, Dec. 15, 1812; had several children and died Dec. 7, 1864. Capt. Ellis Bliss, son of the above named Ellis Bliss, Jr., born July 25, 1787, married Mary Worthen, Dec. 4, 1807, owned and cultivated a good farm near Bradford village. Mr. and Mrs. Bliss had thirteen children, two of whom died in their infancy; all the rest lived to be men and women, of activity and usefulness in the world. The father died May 8, 1851, in the 54th year of his age; and their mother March 2, 1873, at the age of 83 years. Of this family, we give the following brief notice: 1.

Banfield researchers, I believe I owe an apology along with an explanation. The Banfield site that was mentioned, http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.com/~dbatten/banfield.html is my site. I put it up several years ago, then became burned out on the whole family history thing. I was barely on the Internet the last couple of years. I forgot all about having this site. Please accept my sincerest apology. I have now changed the email address so that I can be contacted through the site. All the information that I have on the Banfill/Banfields is on this site. There is another site with quite a lot of Banfill information. http://www.genserv.com/ This is a subscription site. At this time I believe that they have a 2-month free trial. The only requirement is that you submit a GEDCOM. I have a subscription and would be willing to take a peek, as time permits. Again, my sincerest apology about the website. Doug Batten

Actually I think the book is wrong on this Abraham. The record I transcibed from original town records on FHL film shows Absalom BROWN b. 29 Aug 1793 to Absalom BROWN and Abigail BEAN. He is a brother to my Lorenza b. 30 Jan 1804. I did not have his marriage and family info. Thank you for providing it.
