http://www.rootsweb.com/~vtcbethe/ It was on her sig on her posting. Have not heard from you since, you learned of your Chase connection????? Harriet

Hi Harriet and All on List: I got a chuckle out of the subject heading "Charlotte's Web" quite a while back (especially since it arrived on my birthday). I realize that this is about 4-5 months late but this is the first opportunity to respond in a bit more depth on the MARTIN subject. First I wanted to let you know, Harriet, that my Chase connection is dead in the water, at least until I return to Vermont in 2004 (14 months & counting). Nancy C. CHASE was supposedly born in 1835 in Berlin, Washington, Vermont to William Chase, Jr. She is a 3rd great grandmother that ties into a 2nd great grandmother from the MARTIN family. My current MARTIN family is as follows from early to later: George I (Wales, England to Salisbury, MA) >> George II (Salisbury to Ipswich, MA) >> George III (Ipswich, MA to Windham, CT) >> George IV (Windham, Windham, CT) >> Gideon (Windham, CT to Randolph, Orange, VT) >> Rufus (Windham, CT to Randolph, Orange, VT) >> Henry (Rochester - , Windsor, VT) >> Burnap (Rochester to Bethel, Windsor, VT) >> Lillian (Rochester, Windsor, VT). There are two Gideon MARTINs in Vermont that I can see. The one above and another born 1808 to Rufus Martin and Abigail Brown and died in 1811. I searched all my record copies and did not find another Gideon. The 1790 Census (Heads of Families - Vermont, page 33) lists Gideon MARTIN in Randolph, Orange, VT (2 males over 16, 3 males under 16, and 2 females). The 1800 Census (Heads of Families - Vermont, page 91) lists Gideon MARTIN in Randloph, Orange, VT (males: 1 under 10 yo, 2 between 10 & 16 yo, and 1 of 45 and over; females: 1 between 16 & 26 yo and 1 of 45 and over). I have the following children born to Gideon MARTIN and Rachael HEATH. Anna Marsh Born on 18 May 1767 in Windham, Windham, Connecticut Lucinda Born on 16 Apr 1769 in Windham, Windham, Connecticut Esther Born on 20 Mar 1771 in Windham, Windham, Connecticut Rufus (1773-1864) Born in Windham, Windham, Connecticut and died in Randolph, Orange, Vermont (MY ANCESTOR) Timothy Born on 8 Jan 1776 in Windham, Windham, Connecticut died on 4 Jul 1777 Timothy Born on 9 Apr 1778 in Windham, Windham, Connecticut Sarah Born on 27 May 1780 in Windham, Windham, Connecticut died in Randolph, Orange County, Vermont on 8 Apr 1791 Mary Born on 2 Apr 1785 in Randolph, Orange, Vermont died on 1 May 1785 in Randolph, Orange, Vermont Erastus (1786-1864) Levi Born on 1 Feb 1790 in Randolph, Orange, Vermont died in Randolph, Orange, Vermont on 15 Jan 1839 Jesse Born on 3 Feb 1792 in Randolph, Orange, Vermont died in Braintree, Orange, Vermont on 30 Oct 1868 Mary died on 20 Mar 1784 in Randolph, Orange, Vermont I know that this may muddy the waters some more but I did need to respond to this before it gathered any more dust. Sincerely, Charlotte M. Davis Fairbanks, Alaska P. S. I am currently working full time and going to school fulltime. I can answer requests next May 29, 2003 for a week. I answer requests by date received and there may be additional delays depending on the number and types of requests.
