Hi, After reading the explanation on how the towns were divided up I was wondering if my Burt ancestor was born in MT Hope or Tinmouth and registered in Sharon Windsor, VT., and why they left NY at all. Anyone have any idea why these people moved around so much, or whether Sharon was called something else in 1789? Myrth Sunday

Harriet: Harriet, I hope you dont mind my using your message as a message to all ! <G> snip>>>getting off subject from time to time">>snip>> The discussion of towns/villages/townships/ is not quite off the subject of genealogy as for those who are seeking New England ancestors are in the western part of the country need to understand how the towns and counties changed over the years. Perhaps we need MORE discussions like this..........if folks on this list would throw out questions on a subject they dont know about instead of "riding along " with the list and not asking anything because: 1.they are too shy... or . 2..dont want to stir up anything in fear of nasty replies (these list have been good about being nice) or..... 3. just plain dont know how to go about asking and risk sounding silly There are 3 list here..... Ct-River-Valley-L.....CtHartfo-L (Hartford Co.,Conn) and VtWindsor-L (Windsor Co.,Vt) Connecticut River Valley has 356 subscribers CtHartford has 151 subscribers VTWindsor has 103 subscribers With 650 subscribers........there should be plenty of questions and I know I have a number of "Oldbies" on these list with years of experience and some professionals as well and the questions hopefully will be answered backed up by resources or experience.

Bill: oh we have a westerner on the list.......what state are you in Bill ? As for "Itsy bitsy".......it's sort of a slang for tiny,,,,,,,,,,very small........you could drive through the town and not even realize it ! <<G>> Gilman Vermont is a section of a town......in other words, the "town" of Gilman is part of another larger town........and by looking at my DeLorme atlas.......it is IN the town of Lunenburg Vermont . For those outside of New England........I will use my town of Monson as an example: Monson has 44 square miles......has several sections (think of the word "section" as "area") that are called East Hill, Ellis Mills, Granite Quarry, Lyons Village, North Monson, South Monson, and State Line. Every one of these "Sections" or "areas" are part of Monson but they are not incorporated as towns.....just an area of a town.........Monson is incoporated, has it's selectmen/women.....and the town clerk of Monson has all the records of "East Hill" "Ellis Mills" "Granite Quarry" "Lyons Village" etc Now the same goes for all of the New England states of Mass/ Conn/ NH/ RI / and Vermont included......Gilman is an "area" of Lunenburg,Vermont and it's records are held in the town clerk of Lunenburg. Jean asked about Concord, Vermont.......the sections of Concord, Vt are: Miles Pond, North Concord, Whites Corner, Concord Corner, and Texas.............all are areas of Concord, VT and the records are in the town clerks office of Concord,VT. One of her relatives recall Gilman and Concord...her memory serves her right BUT for research purposes, Gilman is part of Lunenburg and Concord is another town. (very close by). Getting those DeLORME and ARROW Atlases are worth the cost and effort..........when you get yours Bill......check out Gilman and you will see what I mean.....it's on page 49 DeLorme atlas (VT). I hope all of you now have a littler clearer understanding of the sections/villages of a town.......

Cheryl: I am responding to your email below and including your message to the list so others will see it. I appreciate you contacting me first and giving me a chance to respond. You are correct that it's in West Brookfield today........for the dates in question (not last week).....the town was actually Brookfield during the King Phillips War.......the Indian name for Brookfield was Quobauge . Brookfield was settled in 1673 and established as a town in 1718 The town line of Brookfield and West Brookfield was established in 1910.....long after the Indian Wars and that is why I said the Salem Cross Inn was in Brookfield.....but today is located in W.Brookfield.

Sharon: Deerfield Mass is located in Franklin County just below Greenfield......The old name of Deerfield was Pocumtuck and it was settled by settlers from surrounding towns of Hatfield, Hadley,Northampton,etc and some were from Hartford County Connecticut ( the proprietors were men from Dedham,Mass. who sold their shares to the settlers or passed the shares to their heirs). I dont know much about Deerfield, New Hampshire .....you probably will find more on the Rockingham County (NH genweb ...go to the http://www.rootsweb.com and find NH listed and then find the Rockingham County page.....and take it from there......) - -------------------------------------------------------------------------- ------- Another thing you could do is contact the : (Massachusetts) Old Deerfield Memorial Library genealogy /research librarian Deerfield, Ma 01342 This site will take you to Franklin County Mass: http://www.rootsweb.com/~mafrankl/index.html click onto the Deerfield box and search through the site....there is information on early settlers, King Phillips War, look ups, etc.....and it may help you find what you are looking for.. The book I mentioned: FLINTLOCK AND TOMAHAWK: New England in King Phillips War covers Deerfield MASS and up and down the Connecticut River Valley area....... NOT Deerfield NH. [ the 2 Deerfields are at least 100 miles apart] There is another Indian story.....Deerfield (MASS) was attacked by Indians in 1704.....many settlers were carried off to Canada.....the Deerfield Mem. Library could send you info on this one. It's probably on the Franklin County website ( see URL above)....... I dont know if I helped or confused you more !

List: We went to the Salem Cross Inn located in Brookfield,( Mass) for Thanksgiving.....it's a lovely old tavern located on route 9.....built in 1705 by Peregrine White's grandson (she was born on the Mayflower) 1620.......the original fireplace was built in 1699 and still in use. When the present owners (forebears of White) took over the place years ago, the "Salem Cross" was on the "front" door's latch to ward away the witches and other deviltry. The irony is that the family that descends from White..........the surname is Salem ! The inn in the early days was a tavern/stagecoach stop......many cattle drives between Boston and Albany,NY.......the drovers stopped here at this inn.......today the Inn's owners still carry on the old "Drover's Roast" during the summer months. Our Thanksgiving turkey was roasted on splits in a fireplace that can hold a whole oxen ! The woodwork in the original part of the house is just lovely deep brown.......32-38" (wide) boards ! the original part of the house is not spoiled by electric lights either.....they use candles--electric on the walls and real wax on the tables. The original part of the house is filled with old family heirlooms... (I love old houses and it took my breath away) You are probably saying that Brookfield is not in the Connecticut River Valley.....that's true today but back in those days.....it was a big part of the settlements of the Mass Bay Colony.......many of the settlers came over the Bay Path and the Hadley Path and today it's called Boston Post Road or better known as Route 20 and many of those settlers settled in the Hampshire and Hampden counties of today.....so I consider Brookfield (and the Boston Post Rd) a big part of the Conn.River Valley area even though it isnt located in the counties of CRV on today's maps. Behind the settlers (in 1700's) on the same path, there were cattle drives from Boston to Albany,NY and the drovers always stopped at the inn and today the inn still has the tradition of an old drover's roast which is held on weekends during the summer months. During the months of winter ( Jan -Apr)...there are "fireplace feast" and it's just what it states.....everything is cooked in fireplaces, including old receipes , and also pastry baked in a beehive oven(1699).......only held on weekends Fri-Sun and reservations are a must. Brookfield was totally destroyed in the King Phillip's War (as well as many other "western" Mass Bay Colony towns were that year....... Not too long ago someone on one of the list suggested a book: FLINTLOCK AND TOMAHAWK New England in King Phillip's War; Douglas E.Leach, 1958. Library cat.card # 58-5467; reprint 1995 If any of you have ancestors that lived in Massachusetts Bay area during the year of 1675-6,,,,,you should read this book.....it's fantastic.......well documented......well written. It covers most of the eastern seaboard of Massachusetts (Rhode Island as well) as well as up the Connecticut River valley .......the towns of: Connecticut: New Haven Haddam Guilford Killingworth Middletown Wethersfield Farmington Hartford Simsbury Windsor Suffield Massachusetts Springfield Westfield Northampton Hadley Hatfield Bloody Brook ( South Deerfield area today) Deerfield (Pocumtuck Northfield (Squakeag) Vermont not in 1675.....(but many of your ancestors started out in the above areas) i ordered my book from Amazon .......http://www.amazon.com.......believe it was for less than $15. If you are interested in checking out the Salem Cross Inn.... http://www.salemcrossinn.com Sorry I got carried away but I just finished that book on King Phillip's War and being there where some of it happened....it was an ultimate experience.

Sandra: This is terrific.......I am sending it to the 3 list I think they all will benefit from your information (the mailing list are below my name)......

Susan: Majority of the ISPs have free telephone connections...........Where I live I dont have a free connection either because the closest "connection " is 20 miles away.......so what I did was contact the telephone company and they gave me suggestions and I did order a "call around" for my area code and I pay only a flat fee a month and I can stay on the phone or computer on line for as long as I wish to.........try your telephone company and see what they have to offer.......10 cents a minute adds up fast since one tends to be on line longer than they realize. To restrict yourself to one particular list, you are depriving yourself of a lot of information that is being exchanged on many lists ........do yourself a favor, contact the phone company.

Of course. If everybody who was ever born in Vermont had stayed there, and so had their children, the state would be one big city. Everybody had to come FROM somewhere, and most went TO somewhere, or we wouldn't have so much "fun" tracking them down! Any history of Springfield, for example, starts with old Fort Number Four, and I have ancestry in Westmoreland, Charlestown, and Lyme, in NH but on the Connecticut River; plus more further east. > This is the type of information many folks can use and file for >references when they need the information as many are just beginning >genealogy or have traced back to New England and not familiar with the area. >This is just what the mailing list are all about........information and >references, and helping one another along........

Furthermore, if the posting of a list of NH resources is the worst I can expect from VTWINDSO-L, it should be nominated for, and win, a whole host of awards. Robert Frost wrote a poem titled "New Hampshire," by the way. It's a long one. It was published in 1923, in a book also titled, "New Hampshire." If he may be quoted as an authority, I guess I am stuck with the idea that the Twin States are not that easily kept separate: "She's one of the two best states in the Union. Vermont's the other. And the two have been Yokefellows in the sap yoke from of old In many Marches. And they lie like wedges, Thick end to thin end and thin end to thick end, And are a figure of the way the strong Of mind and strong of arm should fit together, One thick where one is thin and vice versa." lines 175-182 "Anything I can say about New Hampshire Will serve almost as well about Vermont . . ." lines 210-211 "When I left Massachusetts years ago Between two days, the reason why I sought New Hampshire, not Connecticut, Rhode Island, New York, or Vermont was this: Where I was living then, New Hampshire offered The nearest boundary to escape across." lines 248-253 "I choose to be a plain New Hampshire farmer . . . It's restful to arrive at a decision, And restful just to think about New Hampshire. At present I am living in Vermont." lines 407, 411-413, and the end of the poem Darrell Darrell A. Martin formerly of Springfield, Vermont currently in exile in Addison, Illinois darrellm@sprynet.com

Darrell: Since you didn't respond to me directly and posted on the list, I will respond to you on the Windso-L and the other 2 list as well. Your comment is Interesting as I got several messages from Windsor -L subscribers (as well as those in Hartford County CONN mailing list plus Ct-River-Valley) .to put the NH information on the list .....many of the folks do not know where to contact for information in NH as it's a difficult state to do genealogy due to lack of sources or knowing where to find sources. SNIP>>>unless the information is related to Windsor County>>>>>>>SNIP I dont know if you are aware that many folks of Sullivan and Cheshire County New Hampshire intermingled with the folks of Windsor and Windham counties in Vermont and many did NOT remain in Windsor County in Vermont, in fact many went to NY and west and many moved to NH as well. This is the type of information many folks can use and file for references when they need the information as many are just beginning genealogy or have traced back to New England and not familiar with the area. This is just what the mailing list are all about........information and references, and helping one another along........ I understand where you are coming from and that you don't need NH information. It appears that you have many years of genealogy research under your belt ......so do I as I have been doing it for over 25+ years ...however.... you are outnumbered . ( my message will have in the subject line " Research in NH"......if you see it just delete it.

It still takes too much time to sort through my incoming mail. Furthermore, in the case of the lists that keep focus I read every message. In one case, a message to VTWINDSO-L that seemed irrelevant to me by subject line turned out to be a query that I could *ANSWER*. I took that person's ancestry back more than a dozen documentable generations in multiple lines, and put her in contact with another researcher who was more interested than I am in her line of descent from our point of connection. That wouldn't have happened if I didn't have time to read the message, or of course if I weren't subscribed to the list at all. > > If we are going to have focused lists, let's keep them that way.
