~Update~ Thanks to the Secretary of State's Office for free photocopies of my POWERS family found in the Nye Index (an index to all persons who are mentioned in the Manuscript Vermont State Papers). I contacted them by email, and I'd be happy to share it off-list. I am happy to now have a photocopy of 1) the signature of Andrew POWERS [b. ca 1720], my 5 great grandfather, on a Petition for reappointment of Elkanah SPRAGUE as Justice of the Peace, 2) Andrew POWERS' name on 2 VT town charters: Hartland [aka Hertford], Windsor Co., VT, and Pittsford, Rutland Co., VT, and 3) Jonathan POWERS [m. 1820] and his father, Andrew POWERS' signatures on a petition [Vol. 51, page 97] to divert water for a sawmill which was denied in Guildhall, Essex Co., VT, after the War of 1812-14. Happy searching, Janice Jordan <[email protected]>
