More information would be helpful since early censuses tend to give numbers but not names or give limited information about people and their relationships. Time frames for location also helps with checking other kinds of records. For example, in 1860 there is a Betsey Willard, age 66, born in Vermont, living in Brattleboro, Windham county, Vermont with Theodore and Mary Green. No marital status or relationship to the family listed. The age is about right. Have you ruled her out for some reason? It might be a good idea to indicate a time frame, if you know one, for when the Willards lived in New York and when they lived in Poultney; children; and approx. dates of marriage and/or death if known. Likewise, for Jane Harsha, you won't, of course, find her listed by name in the early 1800 censuses. Possibly her parents would be listed on her marriage or death certificate. Does she have a connection to Vermont? Was she married, and was the marriage in Vermont? Did she die in Vermont? ----- Original Message ----- From: "John McCarty" <bjmacc15@yahoo.com> To: <VTRUTLAN-L@rootsweb.com> Sent: Friday, April 30, 2004 3:51 PM Subject: [VTRUTLAN] LEIGH, WILLARD of Greenwich and HARSHA of Argyle I have had one of those WONDERFUL connections! I was emailed by another list member who also descends from Jane HARSHA and Joseph McDOUGALL! I'm still hoping for just such a miracle for Betsey LEIGH and Symon WILLARD. Their daughter, Rebecca Ann WILLARD, was born 1830/1831 in Greenwich, Washington County, NY - which was where Betsey LEIGH was born in 1795. Other than this I have no data for these two. The Betsey WILLARD of Brattleboro is the only likely candidate, but Rebecca Ann WILLARD died in East Poultney and the family clustered around Washington and Rutland counties.
