Hi Darrell: Thank you for the offer of probate lookups! I am NOT suppose to be doing genealogy while going to school but I could not resist asking. I spent a month in Vermont in April and found a lot of information but as I go back further it gets more sparse. I found the burials while there but the death certificates for Asahel and Eliphalet have eluded me even with searching the town records. The clerks there are wonderful by the way. There is a confusing bunch of Asahel, Eliphalet, and George's in this DAVIS family. I have attached the information below. One question I do have is about the probate book. Exactly what information does it have? It does sound like it is indexed - by date or name? Where did you get your copy? Thank You for taking the time to do these for the list. It is much appreciated and I do know it takes a lot of time. Sincerely, Charlotte M. Davis Fairbanks, Alaska [email protected] Host for Bethel, Vermont http://www.rootsweb.com/~vtcbethe/ 1.

The entries are arranged by surname and first name. The contents cover all existing probate court records for the two probate districts of Windsor County, Vermont, for the years 1778-1899. >Thank You for taking the time to do these for the list.

He was a resident of Royalton. Since he might be a relative: DAVIS, Eliphalet, residence Royalton, probate district Hartford, type Intestate, year 1883, page 38 >3. George W.
