I am researching his descendants Issac, Issac Alpha, Henry Ward Bayley and their wives, Betsy Johnson, Ruth Chamberlain and Julia Ellen Dutton. Also Prudence Noyes, the wife of the general. Henry Ward Bayley and his wife, Julia Ellen Dutton are my great grandparents. Do you have any information on any of these people? >> I sure don't. I'm sorry. I have a lot of lines in Vermont (I am actually from Vermont originally myself) but don't recognize any of the names, other than Dutton, and I know that there used to be Duttons that lived in Middlebury, Vermont. kathy
