Thanks.< Here is an interesting excerpt about it and the cure used! ~ Enjoy! Sue The Connecticut River Valley, in Southern Vermont and New Hampshire. HISTORICAL SKETCHES By LYMAN S. HAYES, Rutland, Vermont. The Tuttle Company, Marble City Press. 1929. page 182 SPOTTED FEVER EPIDEMIC IN NEW ENGLAND IN 1812 -- SERIOUS IN ROCKINGHAM This entire section of New England, if not a much larger area, during the spring seasons of 1812 and 1813, was scourged by a fearful epidemic, called at first "spotted fever"' and later "malignant fever." So great were its ravages that the deaths in Vermont reached 6,000 by this disease alone, or about one death in 40 inhabitants. The disease is supposed to be the same as that now called cerebro-gpinal-meningitis, and was not then considered contagious. During the time the epidemic raged there were 70 deaths at Bennington; Pomfret and Reading each had 44; and Shrewsbury about 30. In the month of March, 1813, seven persons died in the town of Walpole in as many days and great excitement and fear prevailed in all this section of the Connecticut valley. In the town of Rockingham the most prominent physician was Dr. Joshua Ripley Webb, who lived in the small dwelling east of the old Rockingham meeting house, now occupied by his descendants. He was one of the victims of this te! rrible disease. He was attacked suddenly while on his daily rounds among the afflicted ones and became unconscious while in his buggy. His faithful horse continued upon its way and brought the stricken doctor to the door of his own home where he survived only a few hours. He was son of Joshua Webb, one 'of the earliest and most prominent men of the town. An illustration of some methods of treatment of this disease (not however by Dr. Webb) was shown in later years among the papers of Capt. Charles Church, who was a wealthy and leading citizen of Westminster. It is a receipt which was reported to be one of the most efficacious of any used at that time. Certainly if the patients survived the medicine, they surely ought to have survived the disease. "Cure for Spotted Fever-To one quart of lime add one gallon of water. To one quart of tar add two quarts of water. Let these stand in separate vessels until they froth, skim the froth, pour them together. To this mixture add eight ounces of saltpeter, four ounces of opium -take a glass when going to bed and repeat the same in four or five hours."

I am interested in finding where the siblings of Lucy Ann (BALL) MORELL moved to from the Wilmington area in the mid 1800's. I've been unable to find my MORELL family (of Newfane and Brattleboro) and am hoping to get additional data by following Noah MORELL's wife's family. I also have some old photos taken in the Dakotas in the 1800's and would like to be able to identify the people in them. Since there is a good chance they are from the BALL family, learning more about the BALL siblings may help there as well. Thanks, Michael Roman http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.com/~mroman/atafel.htm

Hi Marge, We have two Asa Boyden's. The one that married Betsey Burnham was born in Guilford in the late 1700's.His parents were Levi Boyden and Dolly Smith. I found this on Ancestry.com while searching for the Asa Boyden from Dummerston. Because they both lived in Windham Co. I had to sort out the two. Asa from Dummerston was born to Darius Boyden and Lavina Brown in 1777. He married Martha Minott. They are both buried in Dummerston with several of their children.
