I am researching ISAAC FARNSWORTH m. to Deborah. Both born in Vermont. He born in 1789, she in 1809. . Her parents were Scottish. The Farnsworth family was residing in Orange County, township of Thetford, as of 1850 . Children of this couple were: Almira, Maria,Harlan, Austin,Isaac, and Albert. By 1856 the family were Minnesota territorial pioneers. Isaac, Sr. was a veteran of the war of 1812 and is the only veteran of this war buried in Fillmore County, Minnesota. As of the 1930s he had at least one descendant yet in Vermont, a granddaughter who had mailed a letter to Minnesota inquiring about him. His widow, Deborah, removed to Minneapolis, Minnesota circa 1890 where two of her sons and one grandson worked for a building firm called H.N. Leighton. Anyone with possible connections to this family please contact me in Minnesota! Thank you!

Dick: That was a great help. Thank you very much !! James Setliff Boyce

There is a bit about the Newbury Mills family in Frederick Wells' "History of Newbury, VT 1704 - 1902". S. F. Smith

I am looking for Laban STONE who died in Orange, VT on Nov 12, 1878. I have his death certificate but there isn't much on it. The town clerk said they did not have a burial permit for him. Any help is appreciated. I have been working on him for 20 years. Marion

Hi. I have that same Mills line in Vermont, I think. Martha Mills, daughter of John Mills & Mary (or Liz) McDuffee married my Johnson Smith and they took off for Canada when he "deserted" after the Rev. War. Sound familiar?

Hi Carolyn, YES, that's the same lady. She is dau. to John Mills and Mary McDuffee. It was Martha's brother John jr. who married Elizabeth McDuffee ? I would love to exchange info. I don't have a lot but do know that your Johnson Smith was a Capt. and his brother James Smith m. Martha's sister Betsy. Martha was b. Mar. 15, 1766/67 and d. Feb. 9, 1850 in Chatham, Que. Martha is sister to my Nathaniel MILLS who married Catherine Pratt. Anyway, I do have a possible 11 kids for Martha and Johnson but only a couple of dates. If you want to write me at home, it will be easier to copy and paste and not bother the list.

I have noted the thread concerning Davenport. My grandmother was Grace Davenport of Williamstown, Vt. daughter of Kner Davenport. I have quite a bit on the Davenport family if there is interest. George E. Hood, Sr.

Yes, the data will go on line "soon" However, I have not run into any Davenports in Randolph Ctr. It would ring a bell if so. I do have a bit on a Dr. George Davenport of E Randolph, he also Brookfield. Also ran into a picture of one of his sons at the historical museum Sunday. Will get back to you soon on that. My ggg? grandfather George Chase married a Sarah Davenport in Grand Isle, buried in Essex Jct. Harriet

Harriet: Will you be putting this info (Vermont Cemetery) online? Several generations of Davenports grew up in the Randolph/Williamstown area and I would be interested in looking up a few.

Ken! I think I found your guy, quite by accident really. I have just finished computerizing the second installment of the Randolph Center, Vermont Cemetery, all seventy pages. Going over it and a lot map trying to make head n tails of the lettering & numbering. Well, John Fitts Died Jan 30, 1862 AE 72 ys & 8 ms. Philena Fitts wife of John Fitts Died Dec. 25, 1867, AE 73 yrs. & 4 ms. spelled with an "I" but too close not to be yours, I would say. From Randolph town clerk: Book C Deaths P. 148 John Fitts Died 1 Jan 1862 Age 73 Roxbury VT, Died of Epilepsy, Born Braintree, VT. Gives no parentage, nor do I find anything on Phelena (Philena) Copeland Fitts in Randolph Town Clerk. those two John Fitts though the data does not totally match, betcha they are one & the same. Perhaps someone in Braintree or Roxbury could do some checking? Harriet
