I feel it is important for those not currently living in Vermont to understand how important it is to know how TOWNS were made up in Vermont. It might be easier to know that, except in the case of mountains (see Baltimore and Cavendish) that got in the way, most TOWNS are/were six miles by six miles. These are those little squares on the map. Towns have many little villages, or settlements. For example, my home town of Weathersfield has villages of Perkinsville, Ascutney, Amsden, Downers, Greenbush, Weathersfield Center, Weathersfield Bow, yet they all vote in the town of Weathersfield and pay their property taxes to the Town of Weathersfield, the Town offices are located in Ascutney, and their mailing address is Ascutney, it is still the Town of Weathersfield town offices. Almost all the towns in Vermont, except the most populated ones, are like this, and were much more so in the past, for there were many more little settlements where people were born and lived. For Weathersfield there used to be and still is, but not so well-known, Kendricks Corners, Marsh District, Little Canada, Upper Falls. Now that I have named them, I am sure there will be people who will inquire about these names, having seen or heard of them on vital or tax records somehwere, because people used them to denote a precise location.
