I have posted all the information I have about Thomas except that he named a son Winfield Scott Killam/Killiam. I have not found the scan of this article by Chauncey Richardson from "The Vermont Stand[ard]" from 1862 [?]. I did find a photocopy. The article, "Men of Woodstock: The Cottles," says, "Sylvanus and Joseph married sisters, daughters of Andrew Powers. Both couple [sic] were married at the same time at John Sanderson's (now [in 1862] Wondard [?] R. Fitch's) in the Spring of 1775. All the inhabitants in town were invited, and as the house was small they repaired to the door-yard, and were waited upon in nature's grand saloon, where Sol in his glory could witness the pleasant and happy circle of friends on the bank of old Ottauquechee [sp?]. This was said to be the first wedding in town." I have tried to get a better copy of this article from the offices of the newspaper, but have not received any reply. I am projecting the name of the paper and the date from notes of my aunt, Velma Cottle Musick. Aunt Velma cites "Spooner's Vermont Journal," June 17, 1796, about Andrew, Azubah, and Joseph, on p. 44 of "The Cottle Genealogy" (Kingfisher, OK: privately published, 1965).
