I have several families from Thetford, Strafford area of VT who went to Genesee co NY area, then to Ohio, Michigan, Illinois, Ind and points west. Several to Wisconsin. As the land opened, they followed apparently. M Calvin.Judd, Bean, Beden, Post, Maltby etc.

My Orange County ancestor, Jonathan Tenney Adams, lived in Tunbridge, married a Vershire girl, Hannah Rackley, and migrated to Genesee County, NY. All of the family (except my great-grandfather who was the eldest child and already an adult) went on to Michigan. Many people stopped in Genesee County for a few years. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Marguerite Crist Calvin" <cristcalvin@ohiohills.com> To: <VTORANGE-L@rootsweb.com> Sent: Tuesday, July 08, 2003 6:16 PM Subject: [VTORA] migration > I have several families from Thetford, Strafford area of VT who went > to Genesee co NY area, then to Ohio, Michigan, Illinois, Ind and > points west.
