At a quick glance I count at least 3 Spaffords and 4 Williams there. I also have many other books of cemeteries from Rutland County. If you'd like me to go through them let me know.

Does anyone know if elderly parents came to live with their children as they aged? Adult children are living in different cities from each other and from the parents. I have the date of death of the parents. The question is did the parents go to live with the adult children and die there, rather than the county where they were actually buried? Did the elderly rely on neighbors and town folk if the adult children lived away? SHusk DUPUIS, DICKINSON, CLIBBORN, FETTER, WOODRUFF, FULLER, DOZIER

Quite often I have seen the elderly parents move in with their adult children. In many instances they move out of state in order to live with the children. I've seen them move in with the eldest child from a first marriage as well as (and more often) move in with the youngest child. I have also seen them rotate among the adult children, living with each of them for several years. In my family from Rutland County, the elderly parents moved out to Wisconsin though I can't figure out yet if they are buired in Rutland County or in Wisconsin. I suspect due to cost that often the elderly parents would be buried in the county where they died.

Just a gentle reminder- individual records in Vermont up to maybe the 1940s, were in several places at the same time. Later they stopped doing this. Taking as an example: William M Hepburn of Tinmouth and Faye A Winot of Clarendon, who married August 22, 1948 and appeared in the marriage list in the Clarendon, Vt annual report for 1948. This record also appears in Wallingford where she was from originally. They actually married in Westminster, Vt. The record may also appear in Tinmouth where he was from making four places to find the marriage record. Just because it was recorded in a town, doesn't mean that's exactly where the birth, death, marriage occurred. (If you look at any of the original records it will usually tell you the right place.) Just an interesting quirk in Vermont record-keeping! And a good one actually, it gives more places where you are likely to run across it.

Would someone see if you can find an obit for: William Henry Dickerson/Dickenson/Dickenson born 1828 in NY of Castleton, Vt (1870 census) @43y mar, of Middletown, Vt (1880 census) @53y mar (par b NY), and died 1908 in Clarendon, Vt Chippenhook cemetery Mexican War 1847 farmer AMANDA/Manda/Mandy. She was born 1828 (Manda) NY of Castleton, Vt (1870 census) @42y mar, of Middletown, Vt (1880 census) @52y mar (par b Vt), and died November 20, 1891 in Clarendon, Vt Chippenhook cemetery @63y. I am interested in determining if their daughter, Ella, is really Eleanor Dorothy (my ggrandmother). She might have been listed as a "survived by" relative in an obit.
