This is a Message Board Post that is gatewayed to this mailing list. Author: stonepegger Surnames: Clifford Flood Sullivan Classification: queries Message Board URL: http://boards.rootsweb.com/localities.northam.usa.states.vermont.counties.rutland/4810/mb.ashx Message Board Post: This post is in reference to a thread on the Rutland County list. Mrs.Flood nee Clifford was the organist at the Catholic Church in Poultney. Floods were also out of Tipperary so the Flood/Clifford nuptuals would have been a typical match up. There is a Clifford who married Lott Sullivan and died in the 1870s and is buried in St. Mary's Fair Haven. Dont know if she is one of the siblings mentioned in the previous posting on the Rutland List. The Sullivans moved on to Chicago in the 1880s so I think she is the only one in that gravesite. Timothy Clifford is also buried in St. Marys circa 1870s. A Clifford was the best man/ witness at my ggrandfather Denis O'Brien's wedding in 1860 in the St. Bridgets West Rutland records. He was a West Castleton resident at the time.Not surprising as they were from the same parish in Tipperary (Castletownarra). Denis O'Brien's bride was Bridget Fogarty whose mother was a Flood.

Annie - I saw your post below and it caught my eye that you are with Poultney Historical Society. What resources might they have for me to find out information on the following? My ggrandmother, Eleanor "Ella" D. Dickerson/Dickenson/Dickinson is listed in the 1880 Census as a single,16 year old, listed occupation-teacher, living with her sister and brother-in-law, Charles S./Charlotte Lois (actually Louis). I want to find out about her between then 1880 and 1894 when she remarries in Chicago. I can follow her after 1894 Chicago, although CS/Charlotte Louis are a mystery. In the mystery years, Eleanor/Ella married a Benjamin B. Fuller (a very small chance it could be another unknown name), who died, and she moved to Chicago (in that order?). Were there children from that marriage (none appear in 1894 until the remarriage a year or so later)? Did she marry Ben in Vermont (her family (parents/siblings) lived in Rutland, Castleton, Middletown Springs), he died, and then she moved to Chicago? Did she go to Chicago because he died and she wanted a fresh start? Did she move to Chicago first, marry Ben, stayed, and then remarried in 1894? Why did she come to Chicago if she was single? How did she come to Chicago from Vermont? What resources might be available to find out some of these mysteries or am I wishful thinking? Do I simply write and ask for the information? Susan Husk So.
