I have just joined this list and I hope someone can help me. Aretus Belding was born in Whately MA 14 Dec 1795 and baptized 29 November 1796. I have just been sent a copy of a letter written several years ago stating that the births of Aretus and his siblings were not recorded until they moved to Tunbridge, Orange County, Vermont. Parents David Belding and Content Farnum. Children were David, Heman, Elisha , Dennis and Sally. Sally was born Dec 1902. Perhaps when Sally was born was when they registered all the births. If someone would look this up for me I would really appreciate it. Helen
