Hi Linda, Which POWERS' family are you related to? My maternal line is Andrew1, William2, Jonathan3, Milton4, Martha [Mattie]5 POWERS' from Orange County, Hartland, and Hartford Windsor County, Rutland County, and Windham County. Happy searching, Janice Jordan

There are petitions regarding roads, regarding taxes, regarding getting out of prison/jail, all sorts of things. It does not give relationships or family records. But it is so nice to find the signature of an ancestor. Joann Nichols Linda Dabulewicz wrote: > What kind of information is in these documents.

Rutland Herald Wednesday Morning, December 17, 1930 SPRINGFIELD HOUSE DESTROYED BY FIRE Overheated Stove Causes Loss of $3000; Family Left Without Clothes SPRINGFIELD, Dec. 16. - Fire, believed to have been started by an overheated stove, today destroyed a two-story dwelling house on Baker Heights here, occupied by John Bouchier and family, with an estimated loss off $3000. The family lost everything but the clothes which they were wearing. There was no one at the house when the fire broke out. Mr. and Mrs. Bouchier and their daughter were visiting at the home of Mrs. Bernice Phillet. Coming from the home of Mrs. Phillet, Bouchier saw flames suddenly burst through the roof of his house. He sounded a fire alarm, but when the department arrived it was found impossible to lay a line to the house, on account of its height from the water. Bouchier saved a horse, which was in a small stable next to the house, but the light frame dwelling was consumed by the flames in less than half an hour. Transcribed by Rebecca W. Tucker

Thanks to Judy W. for these lookups. Silas Marsh and William Powers were later of Hartford, Vermont. Janice Jordan Silas Marsh of Western (I believe this refers to Warren MA) and Joanna Powers of Hardwick MA married on Aug 4 1787. Later marriage of Silas Marsh of Western and Hannah Weeks of Hardwick MA on April 18 1802. Baptism of Joanna Powers, Sarah Powers and William Powers children of William and Elizabeth Powers on Nov 24 1771 in Hardwick MA. Marriage of William Powers (of Hardwick MA) and Elizabeth Whitcomb (of Rochester) on Nov 16 1758 in Rochester. Record in Hardwick MA also. This is from Massachusetts Vital Records to 1850. In 1765 part of the Town of Hardwick was annexed to Greenwich. In the 1930s, Greenwich was one of 4 towns taken by the state to create a water supply for Boston and other towns in MA.

Hi Judy W., Thank you so much for the 2 marriage records of Silas MARSH of Western, MA as well as William Powers of Hardwick, MA. They were later of Hartford, VT. I will check out the R.I. data further to determine whether or not it is the same family. Your help is appreciated! Thanks again, Janice Jordan
