Hi Gail: Are you near a LDS Family History Center? I found an index of Vermont when I was in Salt Lake. When I have a minute after the holidays I can send the number to you. It is a microfilm. I found several of people on the Lyman Weeks line. Also I found a Nathaniel Weeks who paid taxes in Windsor in 1786. Lyman was born 1783. Maybe your Zechariah is on the film. I know I have seen Zechariah while I have been searching on Google. But I have searched so many places that could not remember where. I also found a form that I sent in to the appropriate address to get a birth certificate that might name his parents. It cost $7.00 and a stamped envelope addressed to me. I will get back to you after the holidays.

Just an interesting aside. I know a teenage girl here in Elizabethton, TN whose last name is Ramsdell. I've never met any Ramsdell's before, so I thought that was interesting.
