Dan and Lists: "PAWLET...settled in 1761 and the name is of French origin, angliciczed from Paulette. Remember Baker(doesnt say where he was from) and Jonas Fay(from Bennington,Vt) were early settlers of Pawlet. Remember Baker was a member of the "Green Mtn Boys". The Herrick's Rangers who became known as the "terror of tories" was organized in Pawlet in 1777."
