Otter Creek flows through the township of Clarendon . I have been wondering if there was once a little collection of settlers along one area of the Creek, and that spot became a sort of hamlet, and was also called by the name Otter Creek....

The Calvin Douglas, son of John, that you found appears to be from another line of Douglas's. I have done page by page of Tinmouth, VT Census for 1800/1810 and this John Douglas just doesn't match up with what I can verify, I was hoping though. Wishful thinking on my part. I keep grasping at straws. I know he should be in VT, Pawlet in 1800-1810, but nothing to definitively place him there that I can use for DAR documentation.

April 15, 1927. When Mrs. Nora B.

She then recalled that she accidentally swallowed a needle 20 years ago. She never suffered any inconvenience from it until about three months ago when she first noticed the lameness.
