This sounds like the route my kin took. They moved on to Lucas, Ohio and by 1845 were living in Lenawee co., MI. They later moved to Gratiot and Montcalm co., MI. Henry and Susannah were married in Little White Creek, Albany/Washington co., NY. He headed for Tinmouth and Mt Holly before moving back int St Lawrence co., in 1809.

List: I have a book here and it gives a brief migration pattern of the settlers who went to Vermont: " 40 towns in Vermont bear names directly borrowed from towns in Connecticut.......in the early days of Vermont settlements......the state was often referred to as "The New Connecticut". "There were 2 distinct streams which flowed northward simultaneously.....eastern Vermont was settled from eastern Conn and western Vermont from western Conn. .......and the difference between the 2 stocks were evident: "the EASTERN people came mainly from Tolland and Windham counties......the settlers settled both sides of the Connecticut River in Vermont and New Hampshire.......most were old friends and neighbors. Most were law abiding and conservative. there were a few college graduates and also men of wealth. For the most part they(settlers) were orthodox Calvanist.......also there were 21 Congregational churches by 1780.........19 were east of the (VT) mountains ! " " folks west of the mountains were less conservative.......they came from "newer parts of Connecticut".....like Canaan, Salisbury, Cornwall, goshen, Milford and the other hill towns in western Connecticut.......many from Litchfield County Conn... they were sectarians and doubters in religious matters...some were Baptist and others adhered to the Church of England...and yet there were others who were seperatist who opposed the connection between church and state.and couldnt care less if there was a Sunday service." Both streams of migrations to settle in Vermont had similar motives: Land.......good and cheap There were lesser migrations to Vermont from other states which "cross-fertilized" the main Connecticut stocks..........settlers from Massachusetts , New Hampshire, and Rhode Island. Many towns of Vermont have towns named after Mass towns........ Western Vermont was also settled by New York settlers......these NY settlers, their ancestors had migrated from Dutchess County were actually Connecticut settlers before they settled in Dutchess County..... Migrations to NY started around 1800-1812.....the towns of western NY settled by Vt folks are: Windsor, Royalton, Hartland, Lyndon, Vermont,....in the Holland Purchase of western NY. **Collins in Erie County was settled by folks from Danby, Vermont **Elliott in Chautauqa County settled by Wardsboro folks **Gains in Orleans County settled by Rutland and surrounding towns **Danville in Steuben County settled by Orwell folks If any of you have ancestors who migrated from Mass-Conn-RI-NH to Vermont and then to New York and Ohio and so on...should try to get a hold of the book: Migrations FROM Vermont: Vt Historical Society; Lewis Stilwell; 1948.

My gggrandfathers name was Nathaniel S. Burt. He was born [or registered] in Sharon, Windsor, VT in 1789.I believe it is possible that his father was Henry Burt. Henry was married to, I believe, Susannah Brown, daughter of Capt. William Brown. Henry and Nathaniel were the only two Burts that lived in Louisville, St Lawrence co. I also believe he may have been related to the family of Enos Burt. My gggrandmothers name was Rhoda Waterbury, daughter of Peter Cooke Waterbury. Myrth Sunday

cathy: Yes you are correct......ownership and taxes.......branding is/was one way of doing it but in the very early days of New England, there was a common way of "branding" before branding iron was thought of........do you know how they did it ? anyone else know ? The reason for the "marks" was because the early towns of New England had "common lands" which was situtated [usually] in the center of town where all the cattle, sheep, and swine were allowed to graze together and records of these marks were kept by the town clerks.

Yes, send on the tests. Doesn't hurt even an old lady like me (66) to exercise her brain. Patricia

Barb: Thanks for the encouraging message ! You mentioned "ear marks"......yes.....I remember when I first came across those odd sounding words and it was in Massachusetts in very early records of what is now Hampden County (once part of Hampshire Co until 1812) and have seen them in Vt, NH, and Maine records. Ok List.....Barb got this one going........start brainstorming..... 1. what are ear marks ? 2. what about "cattle marks" .?

Erin : Since you addressed me via the CRV mailing list.....I will respond in kind......... Nope......no one is a dim wit on this mailing list now or ever ! I wasnt intending to be rude or any such thing.....I KNEW the answer and wasnt looking for one... .I was giving the folks a chance to try to answer that question just like the fence viewers or hog reeves questions that had been discussed on the CRV. I gave folks several clues as I knew it would be a difficult one as most folks would think on money or currency which in MOST cases would be true but this was very early New England when currency was not readily available therefore did not apply to this one. " assay master" according to the book: Digging for Genealogical Treasure in NEW ENGLAND Town records" : " 1.They shall inspect and make trial of all heads and worms used in distilling strong liquors, that shall be suspected by them, and if upon their assaying and trial of them, they be found to be made of lead or other base metal, or to have an alloy of lead or of other base metals in them, they shall give notice thereof to the distiller or owner thereof, who shall in such case make no further use under the penalty of 100 pounds" "2. They may enter into any still house or place where such utnesils are suspected to be kept, and cut off so much of them as shall be needful to make an assay or trail of them...." Erin: next time I suggest that you email me privately if you disagree with something.......as you were the only person to complain and put words in my mouth I never used and nor did I imply any such thing <<dim wits>>> << correcting everyone and calling them stupid>> those are YOUR words not mine. If you dont like how I moderate this list.....just put Ct-River-Valley-L-request@rootsweb.com and put one word in the subject box.....unsubscribe...... ........as I will not tolerate pettiness or flaming of ANYONE ( including me) on this list !!!!!!!!
