I'd say a big no on Shankill in Vermont. Just to rehash some of the stuff I probably laid on you a few years back: The question I always had on the Dunnes was did they come to West Rutland randomly or were they attracted here by relatives or neighbors? There was a McCormick family here from Tyrone who came here in the 1830s. There was also various Roscommon, Kilkenny and other asundry McCormicks as well. Of course many Irish Dunns but none that I know of from Tyrone. (Not that I've looked hard). The Tyrone people around here were mostly from the Ardstraw area and included names like McDevitt Patten McPhilomy Hill (McElhill) (Corey, some from Dromore) Colton McBride, Gormley, McGee (some Mullins). (Connolly?) The Dorset Irish website lists a lot of these folks. Were you able to check the Godparents on any of those West Rutland baptisms? Some of the folks who read these posts are able to com up with great source material. So herr's hoping. Peter Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.

This is a Message Board Post that is gatewayed to this mailing list. Author: gerrydunne125 Surnames: Dunn(e), McCormick, Moss, Breen Classification: queries Message Board URL: http://boards.rootsweb.com/localities.northam.usa.states.vermont.counties.rutland/4821/mb.ashx Message Board Post: I would be very grateful for any information about my great-grandfather John Dunn(e). I know that he was married to a lady named Catherine McCormick and that they had a son, Patrick Joseph, on 2 April 1893. Patrick Joseph (my grandfather) was baptized at St Bridget's Church (I think) on 2 April 1895 and the family were recorded then as living in West Rutland. The baptismal record shows that John was a fireman. I believe John and Catherine had another son, Daniel, in 1895 and a daughter Mary (who may have been born around 1891). By April 1897, John had come to Belfast, Ireland and had remarried. There is a family story that John left Vermont and came home because his wife was seriously ill and had expressed a dying wish to be buried in her native Co Tyrone, Ireland. It was also said that John worked on the Canadian Pacific Railway. In 1913, Daniel joined the First Batallion of the Irish Guards and fought in France and Poland during WW1. He won the Military Medal for bravery. During his enlistment, Daniel said that he was born in Shankhill. There are several townlands and parishes in Ireland bearing the name but I would be very keen to know if there are any towns or areas in Vermont called Shankhill or Shankill. Daniel's name is recorded in Rudyard Kipling's 'History of the Irish Guards'. I would be very grateful for any information or assistance to trace any records of John and Catherine in West Rutland.

Mr. Haley and wife were absent from the home at the time, and the rest of the family of five children and Mrs. Brady, an old lady, mother of Mrs. Haley, came near perishing in the flames. The fire was discovered about 12 o'clock at night by Anthony Haley Jr., about 15 years old, and by having great presence of mind the rest of the family were saved. But little of the furniture was saved. There was a light insurance on the house, furniture, etc., in the Vermont Mutual. Much sympathy is expressed for Mr. Haley and family, as they are obliged to stay with their neighbors , being out of house and home, and neighbors have kindly offered their houses to them. A horse belonging to Anthony Haley broke its leg by running away on Saturday. Mr. Haley has had bad luck for the past two weeks. Herbert Haley, who was injured a few days since by his team running away, is recovering. It was feared at first that his eye was destroyed, but it now seems that his eye is not out, and will doubtless be alright again.

Vt., Oct 20 - Deacon John R. Putnam died instantly while taking part in a harvest home festival at the Universalist church. He was impersonating Farmer John, and was the central figure in a large gathering of young men and maidens representing the extensive family of a farmer of the olden times. The gayly-costumed children had just finished a lively chorus. He responded in a song he had remembered from his boyhood days. Responding to an encore, he was telling a story, when he stopped suddenly, staggered a moment, and then fell dead. He was 77 years old.

I lived in Wallingford from birth to 23 years. When I used to walk to the Post Office, which was then in the building which now houses Sal's Pizza and Hands of Hope Thrift Store (this was the PO), across from the Gilbert Hart Library, I passed Mrs. Bellany's boarding house. One of her boarders was an elderly man named Harrison Savery. I think I must have talked to him every day for several years. He was a special man. I am thinking he may be the " Harris" Savery in this article. The timing of this article is really quite wonderful. Several posts to the list on the Old Stone Shop and others jogged my memory as well. The world was very different when I was a child from the way it is all, and I am sure it is for everyone on the list. When I was five years old I used to walk to the Post Office for my parents, all by myself, or so I thought. But not really - as Mrs. Regimbald in the brick house next to us watched me out her window, a few houses up the street Ranse and Emma Towsley would keep an eye on me, then Mrs. Bellany at the boarding house, until I got to the post office. I can still remember Mrs. Regimbald tapping on the window to let me know I had dropped some mail. Regarding the Old Stone Shop - yes, Cornelia Tarbell did own it for years, but I am thinking it is at least ten years since she owned it, probably longer. As you pass by the shop today you will see that the current owner is adding an addition, not in brick or stone, to the building, which will become four apartments. The appearance of the building is quite different from the early years. Another building in town has been razed - this is the American Legion building, which was constructed in the 1940's. The building had been given to the Wallingford Historical Society by the Legion (Ralph H. Pickett Post # 52). The Historical society was going to refurbish it and make it their home, but the costs were excessive and the building was deemed to be not worth it and so it was knocked down and everything carried away and dumped. The area is being seeded for grass right now, for a Memorial Park for War Veterans from Wallingford. Several people are crafting a list of Wallingford Veterans, with the criteria that the soldier had to have been from Wallingford to qualify for his name to be added to the list. And also much discussion about what to name the Park. Darrell, I hope you won't mind the post. The Misses Savery and their brother, Harris, have had the reunion in> their home on the state road near Wallingford for the last eight years.> The time of the reunion was changed from Thanksgiving to mid-October a> few years ago.

This is a clip I have...I think it is complete...there may be more at the end...I don't have a year!! Circa 1931. BATV "Savery Family To Follow Century Tradition Sunday Special to The Herald WALLINGFORD, Oct. 13. - Miss Belle Savery, sister of H. B. Savery, selectman of Clarendon, has issued invitations to the Savery family reunion to be held Sunday, October 18. This is the eighth year that Miss Savery and her sister, Mattie, have had the reunion. Until that time, their mother had had it for 52 years. It was a tradition in the family in their grandmother's time, and dates back for over a century. Small at first, it has grown until there were 33 members of the family present last year. A similar number is expected this fall. The guests will include Mr. and Mrs. William Savery and family and Mr. and Mrs. Winslow Eddy and family of Rutland and Miss Cornelia Savery of Mount Holly. A number of the nieces and nephews are married and will bring their children with them. The first reunion of which there is a record were the ones held at Ephraim Savery's in Clarendon Springs on Thanksgiving Day. After the death of Mrs. Ephraim Savery, Mrs. William Savery acted as family hostess for more than 50 years in Clarendon Springs, in Castleton where the family lived for a few years, and in Shrewbury where they lived for 40 years. The Misses Savery and their brother, Harris, have had the reunion in their home on the state road near Wallingford for the last eight years. The time of the reunion was changed from Thanksgiving to mid-October a few years ago. It is easier for the family to get together at this season. It is a more popular time with the children, for they can play outdoors and leave their elders in their reminisnces undisturbed."
