Source: Vt Gazetteer of Vt Heritage: National Survey Co., 1976 NEWFANE: " granted in 1753 by New Hampshire as "Fane" , first settled in 1766 . Granted by New York as Newfane in 1774 " MY note: remember that Vermont was a battleground between NY and NH for the right to control VT.....so if your family lived in these years...you need to seach in NY as well as NH histories and records. Also, Vermont became a state in 1777. Cynthia listowner Sharon Ling wrote: > Hi Cynthia, > > Interested in Newfane, Brattleboro and Ft. Dummer. > > Thanks > > Sharon
