This is a digital copy of a book that was preserved for generations on library shelves before it was carefully scanned by Google as part of a project 

to make the world's books discoverable online. 

It has survived long enough for the copyright to expire and the book to enter the public domain. A public domain book is one that was never subject 

to copyright or whose legal copyright term has expired. Whether a book is in the public domain may vary country to country. Public domain books 

are our gateways to the past, representing a wealth of history, culture and knowledge that's often difficult to discover. 

Marks, notations and other maiginalia present in the original volume will appear in this file - a reminder of this book's long journey from the 

publisher to a library and finally to you.

In th« following pages, for Representatives, I have arranged the towns after the first insertion, hv 
figures, alphabetical, by counties, so that a person can easily follow a town through, by observing i:y 
namberat the beginning, and follow thesaroeto 1850. Before 1788, the Speakers are in small c/dy 
tals, and after that are in italic. The figures before the county officers, 1 denotes Chief Judge. "> 
Side Judges, 3 Clerks, 4 Sheriffs, 5 Stale's Attorneys, 6 tfudges of Probate, 7 Registers o: 
Probate. Where inverted commas and a name are in one column, the person in the previ^ut 
eolama served m part of the year. 



TO THE PUBLIC. 

It is expected in peraring a new book to find some reasons given why such a work is published. 
In this case an enquiry will be made, why is this work put forth when nothing new can be obtaiocd 
from it, as the Journals of the Legislatures, Conventions, &c., and even Walton s Hegisters contain 
it all? I admit that if a person had those Journals and Registers at his command, he might learn 
many fact^h which he is now ignorant, and will probably remain so, if he depends on that source 
only for hinnformation. You may go into any Town Clerk*s OflSce in this State, and if jou can 
find a complete set of the Legislative journals, you will succeed better than I have done in any oflfice 
or Library that I have visited, not even the State Libre ry contain the journals of 1786, but I found 
one in Rutland. Tfte journals are nearly all scattered " few and far between," The University at 
Burlington have for many years been collecting a perfect set of those journals, but a short time since, 
they had not obtained them. As for the Registers nearly every one knows, that notwithstanding all 
the useful information therein contained, and that which every family ought to purchase yearly and 
preserve, is, soon after New year's day given to the youngest child to destroy, or deposited in the at- 
tic for the mice, to shelter them from the rude blasts of winter. The President of the Antiquarian 
Society, and some others within my knowledge, have been many years trying to gather up a com- 
plete set of Vermont Registers, but as yet hat^s not been successful. As for obtaining the inform- 
ation herein contained, from Journals and Registers without costing a person ten times the price of 
the book, is folly to think of. But if a person does not wish for the information for himself or fam- 
ily,! have laid him under no obligation to purchase, as I have not a solitary subscriber in the State. 
A person may go into every town in this State that has been organized sixty years, and in nine out 
of ten he will be unable to obtain from any source, written or verbal, who have represented the town 
tach year since its organization. 

And furthermore, such a bold and fearless body of men as first settled Vermont, and safely car- 
ried her through all her various encounters with her numerous enemies, and safely landed her on the 
shores of this glorious Union with peace and plenty, deseiTe to have their names written in letters 
of gold and handed down to the last man of the last generation that shall inhabit the earth. 

LEONARD DEMING, 

Middlebury, May30, 1851. 

In arranging the following pages, I have endeavored to give the year in which the term of office 
began. In taking from the journals I found no difficulty of getting it right, nor from the Registers, 
only, I had to take the year previous. The term of office of the Legislative appointments in nearly 
all cases commenced on the first of December of the same year, but in Clerks ot Courts, an'] Regis- 
ters of Probate, it has been more difficult to get right, as some of the Courts and some of the Pro- 
bate Courts do not sit till after the commencement of the year following, and their appointments 
being made at those sessions, my correspondents have given me the wrong year. But I have reme- 
died that in many cases, by taking a political view of the Courts that made the appointments, and 
the time the first Court was holden after the Judges were appointed. I have endeavored to give the 
facts as they were, but I do not flatter myself to suppose that errors do not exist in the work which 
I have not yet ascertained. Ihave already found some which will be mentioned in an erratta. I 
have in some instances had wrong information from correspondents, which they have afterwards dis- 
covered, and rectified, but too late to prevent the error occurring.

II 



GENERAL ETHAN ALLEN, 
Was born in Roxbnry, Conn., in 1739. and died at Colchester, Vt, Feb. 15, 1789. Thefollowing 
is related of him as having taken place while a prisoner in irons on his passage to England, While 
closely confined to his cabin, he discovered that a pin or wire that fastened one of his handcuffs was 
broken. Extricating the pieces with his teeth, he was enabled to loosen the bolt and set one hand at 
liberty, by the aid of which, and his teeth, he soon had both at liberty, and he was not long in liber- 
ating his feet. But fearing a discovery might lead to worse treatment, he replaced his irons, bolts

am] pins before the nrrival of his keeper. It soon became a fine recreation for the General to tak« 
oft' atiii put on his irons at picasurc. 

One day the Captain wishinp: to atford the crew some merriment, ordered that Allen be brought 
on deck. Hoping to frighten him, the Captain said : " There is a probability that the ship will 
founder — if so, what will become of us, especially you, Mr. Allen, a rebel against the King 1 ''Why," 
Fa;d Allen, " that would be very much like our dinner hour." " Why so ?" said the Captain not re- 
flecting that Allen was not allowed to come on deck only when he the captain went down into bis 
cabin to dine. " Well, you see, answered Allen, "I'd be on my way m/> just as you would be going 
below." This answer did not please the Captain, and he began a regular tirade of abuse against tho 
American people. " In a short time," said the Captain, " all the rebels will be in the same situation 
as yourself." This was too much for Allen, and raising his hands to his teeth, soon snapped the 
bolts and pins, took off his irons and threw them overboard — seized the panic struck Captain by the 
collar, and threw him headlong upon the deck, then turning to the affrighted crew, he exclaimed in 
a voice of thunder . " If I am insulted again during theitoyage, I'll sink the ship and swim ashore." 
This exploit had such an effect on the Captain and crew, that no farther insult was offered to the 
General daring the passage.

VERMONT. 



The tract of ronntry now known by the name of Veimont. was, pri>TiouB to the Amencan Rct- 
•lution, known l)y the name of *' The'New Hampshire Grants^" and wa» divided into four counties, 
by the Grovernment of the then Colony of New York, viz : Cumberland and Gloucester on the east, 
and Bennington and Charlotte on the west of the range of Green Mountains. But by a carefol 
perusal of facts of those times it does most plainly appear that the inhabitants of the Grants were 
not very obedient subjects to those New Yorkers who volnnteered to rule over them. Soon after 
the Declaration of Independence at Philadelphia, in July, 1776, the Green Mountain Boys, conclu- 
ded they were not under the rule of any earthly nation or gorvemmeni except their own. They 
therefore called a Convention of Delegates from ihe several town*, which Convention met at Dor- 
Mt, July 24, 1776, but no records show what steps were then taken, only it was adjourned to Sept. 
S)&th, same year, when it again met at the same place, as appears from the following record :

Wilmington and Cumberlaml were represented by letters from some of the principal inhabitants. 

Among the proceedings of this Convention at that time were the following: To take siiitablo 
measures as soon as may be, to declare the New Hampshire Grants a free and separate district, 
which vote passed without a dissenting voice. A committee of seven reported the wiongs and 
grievances suffered from New York, and the impolicy of any further connection with them, direct- 
ly or indirectly. Resolved, Therefore, that this Convention'being fnlly convinced, that it is abso- 
lutely necessary that every individual in the United States of America should exert themselves to 
the utmost of their abilities in the defence of the liberties thereof ; therefore, that this Convention, 
may the be^tter satisfy the public of their punctual attachment to the said common cause at present 
as well as heretofore, we do make and subscribe the following covenant, viz.: 

Wc, the subscribers, inhabitants of that district of land commonly called and known of New 
Hampshire Grants, being legally delegated and authorized to transact the public and political af- 
fairs of the aforesaid district for ourselves and constituents, do solemnlv covenant and engage, that 
for the time being, we will strictly and religiously adhere to the several resolves of this ^or any fu- 
ture convention constituted on said district by the free voice of the friends to American libertiea» 
which shall not be repugnant to the resolves 6i the honorable the Continental Congress, relatiTe tm 
the taaia of America. 



8 - VEltMONT. 

Tiie Coivenilon mot again at Westrainster, January 15, 1777. The committee appointed to 
brini^ in a drau^^ht of a Declaration ot Independence reported : 

R ght I. Tliat whenever protection is withheld, no allegiance is due, or can of right be deman- 
ded. The connmittee then after repeating the wrongs from New York, offered the following de( lar- 
aiion : '• Thief Convention, whwse members are duly chosen by the free voice of their constituents 
in the several towns, on the New Hampshire Grants, in public meeting assembled, in our own 
munes, and in behalf of our constituents, do hereby proclaim and publicly declare, that the district 
of territory, comprehending and usually known by the name and description of the New Hamp- 
shire Grants, of right ought to be, and ia hereby declared forever hereafter to be considered, as a 
free and independent jurisdiction, or State ; by the name, and forever hereafter to be called, known, 
and distinguished by the name of New Connecticut, alias Vermont, &c." 

This Convention after informing the Contmental Congress of their doings, adjourned to meet at 
Windsor, on the first "Wednesday in June. 

The above declaration brought down upon us the wrath of New York, but notwithstanding that, 
those brave Green Mountain Boys, whom any nation or people on earth might well be proud of, 
followed up their declaration by the adoption of a Constitution the same year, and a Legislative 
session m March following. In February, 1779, the Legislature passed an act in the face and eyes 
of the New York law dividing the State into two counties, Bennington on the west and Cumber- 
land on the east of the Green Mountains, and divided each county into two shires each, Westmin- 
ster and Newbury on the east, and Bennington and Rutland on the west. That division of coun- 
ties remained till the extra session of the Legislature in Feb. 1781, when the County of Rutland 
•was incorporated, from Bennington and Windsor and Orange counties were incorporated from 
Cumberland, and the name of Cumberland altered to Windham\ 

Zadock Thompson, in his history of Vermont, says, that Chittenden County was incorporated 
October 22d, 1782, and Addison County Feb. 27, 1787. This is a mistake as to both Counties, as 
will be seen by the following extract of a letter from Mr. I'hompson to a friend, who had addressed 
him on the subject : " While in Montpelier a few days since, I was induced, by your suggestions, 
to examine the manuscript acts in the office of the Secretary of State, and I there found that Ad- 
dison County was incorporated October 18th, 1785, and that Chittenden County was incorporated 
October 22nd, 1787." This explanation explains a mystery which was hard to solve, which was, 
" how came Addison County Court to set in Colchester at their Nov. Term, 1786, and one of Chit- 
tenden County citizens for the first Sheriff, in 1785, and one of her citizens for side Judge 1785,and 
another in 1736,*' for such are the facts, and as appeared it was all done over one ycjar before Ad- 
dison County was incorporated. When the County of Addison was incorporated i^lncluded with- 
in its boundaries the present county, (except Granville and Orwell,) the whole of Chittenden, 
Franklin, Grand Isle, and Lamoille, nine towns from Orleans, and eight from Washington Conn- 
ties, and that was the size oc the County till Oct. 19, 1787, when Kingston, now Granville, was an- 
nexed to it from Orange County, and three days after by the incorporation of Chittenden County, 
Addison County was reduced to its present dimensions, except Starksbcro' has been added from 
Chittenden, and Orwell from Rutland, and a part of Philadelphia in Rutland has been added to Go- 
shen, and a part of Goshen has been set to Rochester, and the town of Warren in 1829 was annex- 
ed to Washington County. Avery's Gore has been annexed to Lincoln, altering no County lines. 
The first County Court in Addison County, was holden at Addiaon, on the first Tuesday in March, 
1786, and continued to be holden there, (with the exception of the November term ol that year 
which was held at Colchester,) till the first of April, 1792, and since that all the sessions have beeu 
holden at Middlebury. 

The Counties of Caledonia and Franklin were incorporated Nov. 8th, 1796, the former from Or- 
ange and the latter from Chittenden Counties. The Legislature on the 2d day of March, 1797, 
passed an act defining the boundaries of eleven counties, including the whole State, but left the 
Counties of Essex and Orleans to be connected with Caledonia and Iiranklin for all purposes till 
a future Legislature should elect their County officers, which was done at the October Session, 1797 
as to Orleans County, and for Essex County, the County officers were appointed at the Oct. session 
1800. Thus the State remained with eleven Counties till the organization of Grand Isle County, 
which took place in November, 1805. After the sessions of the Legislature were established at 
Montpelier, and that became a thriving town, the Legislature saw fit in 1811, to organize a new 
County of which Montpelier was near the centre, by the name of Jefferson, containing 15 towns from 
the adjoining Counties of Orange, Caledonia and Chittenden. In 1814, when the Federal party 
we* predominent in every branch of the government, the name of the County was changed to 
'* Washington," and has retained that name since. In 1836, the County contained 19 towns by the 
addition of Elmore from Orleans, Woodbury from Caledonia, Roxbury from Orange, and Warren 
from Addison. In 1336, the County of Lamoille was incorporated by taking Stowe and Elmore 
from Washington, Mansfield, which has since been annexed to Stowe from Chittenden ; Eden, 
Hydepark, Morristown and Wolcott from Orleans, and the other five towns from Franklin, and the 
State has remained In that situation since till 1848, when the towns of Windsor, and Montpelier 
were divided into two towns each, West Windsor and East Montpelier, making 240 organized 
towns in the State.

HON. STEPHEN HAIGHT, 

Of Monkton, commenced in legislation while young, he 
first represented the town in 1812. and was elected each 
year to f822, eleven years, and three years afterwards. He 
wasfouryearsjudgeof the County Court, and lour years 
Sheriff, ending the last office in 1832. In the fore part of 
his public life he belonged to the old Federal School in pol- 
itics, and Qgnred very adroitly in effecting the election of 
Martih Chittenden, Governor in 18J3. The federal mem- 
bers of the legislature and many others of the party met at 
Montpelier the fore part of election week, and there found, 
on comparing notes, that unlesssome of th»freemens votes 
were rejected, there would be a federal majority of four in 
the House, and a republican majority of ten in the Council. 
It was then found that rejecting the votes from Colchester 
on account of a part of them being given by the U. S. troops, 
and altering the votes of a few other towns, it would elect 
three more federal members in the Council, and bring the 
Joint Assembly to a tie, 112 each. The canvassing com- 
mittee with a large federal majority carried out the measures 



This year - ended the old Connectient 
practice of all the Clergymen goingr to 
Election, and dining at the expense 
of the State, and have a sermon from 
one of them. Some of the most radical 
members came to the conclusion that the 
money and time thus spent might be put 
to a better use. They therefore resolved 
to have no more Election Sermons with 
accompanying expenses after 1834 unlest 
it should be otherwise ordered in future 
This has not yet been done ; but wheth- 
er any very materiel beoafit has been 
effected by the change is a doubt in the 
minds of many- If a Farmer hired a 
man to mow in. his meadow six days, Sc 
he should go eariey to the meadow and 
swing his sythe a few times on the sixth 
day. then quit and go home, there is a 
doubt whether that farmer would feel 
disposed to pay full price for that laat 
day. But if the man had taken his pay 
lor the six dsiys, and quit on the fourth 
day morning, it might be como less 
doubtful how that farmer would act, but 
would Jlie be apt to hire him again ? 

concocted in Caucus, and brought 
the legislature to a tie. Thus le- 
gislation stood nearly still for a 
weekjbui tampering with a lepub* 
lican member to carry a load to 
Boston, at a great profit did not 
stand so still, a few federal lead- 
ers kept that moving, but not to 
much purpose, as he staid in the 
house and voted lor Jonas Galu- 
sha throughout, making a tie, 1J2 
CAch. After a number of ballots 
the votes were reported 112 for 
Martin Chittenden, and 111 only 
for Jonas Galusha. It has caused 
many conjectures as to who was 
guilty, or negligent, as to that vett

lackins?. From an examinatioD of the Jonrnalit 
might be readily inferred that Judge Kinne,aie- 
publican member from Pla infield, was at fault, but 
alihou^h he was very feeble, and scarscly able to 
leave his lodgings, he did attend on the election of 
Governor and voted till all was done, and the fault 
must lie atanoihers door. There were four test 
votes taken during the maneuvering to get the two 
branches together, and one after, and at each ihe 
federal vote was 108, and the highest on the other 
ftide was 103, and that only once. There was a 
member of the house that year Irom a small town 
Jd the southerly pan of Bennington County, and 
ior the first time, and last but one, that was counted 
with the republicans ; but by an examination of 
the five test votes as stated, he voted twice on the 
iederal side, twice on the republican, and on the 
i»tktr bt did Aot vot», and if h« carried out hit prin* 



ciples as he began, I shold look no further to find 
where that missing vole did not come from. 

Whenever Mr. Se Forest, a federalist, or the 
Speaker, did not vote, the name ql the gentleman 
from Bennington County would help up the num- 
ber to 108 on all the test votes. And it is possible 
that Mi. De Forest being unwell, retired before 
the last vote was taken, being satisfied that bis old 
helper would help him again. 

In the latter part of Judge Haight'sterm of leg- 
islation be became quite radical, and was irfluen- 
tial in procuring the passage of a bill for leducing 
the fees of many officers, including the County 
Court Judges, of which he was one. "When the 
Clerk of the court bad counted out the amount due 
each Judge at the end of a session, which waa 
much reduced under his own bill. The Jadgi 
looked on the money as if in a quandary abonl

In l82l he got a law passed for enlarging the 
jartsdiction of justices of the peace to SlOO, and 
restricting appeals for a less amount claimed

♦The town of Salisbury claim Judge Painter 
as their Representative in 1787^ in consequence 
of a new running of town lines, taking his house 
unexpectedly, two or three rods south of the 
south line of Middlebury, and the Journals of 
that year support their claim ; but 1 have not 
yet learned that they claim him in 1786,although 
living in the same hou^e botli years. Nor have 
I beeninfoimed of their laying any claim to 
Thomas Sawyer who represented Leicester in 
1787, 8 and 9, although be resided on the disput- 
ed territory between (he two town«, and on that 



part which is now Salisbury village. 

The foregoing pages contain all the Repre- 
sentatives previous to the year 1788, that are to 
be found. The journals of March, 1778, and of 
October, 1786, do not contain a catalogue of the 
members, but I think I have both nearly accu- 
rate. 

The remainder will be arranged by counties 
alphabetically, and will come as even as any 
mode without dividing counties. By the figuies 
before the towns, the reader will be enabled to 
follow any town through the work lo If 50,

HON. HENKY OLIN 

Came into Leicester at an early day. and 
from his large dimensions and rather awkward 
habits, the people were not at first much prepos- 
sessed in his favor. But being of a strong mind 
and full of wit and anecdote, prejudices began 
to wear away, and he was chosen a Representa- 
tive in 1799 and continued to be chosen for 
twenty-two out ot twenty- six years. He was 
two years a member of the Council, and three 
years X<ieutenant Governor, and one short ses- 
sion was a member of Congress to supply the 
place ot the Hon. Charles Rich, deceased. He 
was one of the Assistant Judges of the County 
Court for eight years, and Chief Judge fifteen 
years in succession from 1801 to 1824. 

When he first began legislation it was a new 
business to him, and the sound of his own voice 
would sometimes embarrass him in that body of 
talented men. An anecdote is. related of him as 
follows: He arose from his seat and began 
"Bir. Speaker. I rise for information," aod 
halted. Upon which another member arose and 
swd: *' Mr. Speaker I very much rejoice 
that t^e gentleman should arise with such a com- 
mendable object, for no man needs it more." 
♦Speakers in Italics. 



He had among his townsmen an old gentleman 
that had taken a dislike to the Judge, but being 
politically agreed, he would support the Judge 
for office. On one occasion he came into meet- 
ing while the ballotting was going on,— pushed 
himself through the crowd to the box and spoke 
out in a loud voice, "iiere Mr. Constable is a vote 
for Judge Olin, but I hope God will forgive me.'' 
During his services on the bench he had given 
some ofience to one of the young attornies,. that 
has since disappointed many of his enemies. A 
person informed the Judge that this attorney waa 
going to the Legislature to prevent him from 
being re-appointed. Well, said the Judge, I will 
tell the company a story. When 1 first came 
into Leicester* I built a log hut and began cut- 
ting down the forest east of it which enabled me 
to see the sun and moon as they r(^e, earlier 
than usual. I had a little dog, and he seeing^ 
the moon lower down than he had before, and 
shining throogh the trees concluded some mis- 
chief was on foot, and began to bark at the moon, 
and kept at it, and paused. Well, says one, 
" what next 1" Why, I tould not discover that 
it had any' effect whatever on the moon, that 
kept on its cburse the same as if the dog had 
been silent, but I discovered the little dog was

some hoarse for a few days, and I never knew 
him to bark at the moun again. 

When the Judge took his seat in Congress in 
Dec, 1824, the weather was unpleasant and very 
different from what he was accustomed to see, 
and having but a short time to stay, his brother 
members were not very anxious for an acquaint- 
ance, and he was lonely. One of the members 
in conversation with him, wished to know how 
he liked Washington as compared with Vermont. 
The Judge %aid he liked some things in Wash- 
ington very well, but he preferred Vermont in 
many respects, and one in particular, which is, 
fcerc you have white butter and yellow girls, and 
in Ve rmont we have yellow butter and white 
girls. 

The Judge removed to Salisbury in the spring 
of 1837, where he died the same year, aged 
-about 70 years. 



HON. SAMUEL C. CRAFTS 

Is a son of Col. Ebenezer Crafts, who began 
the first settlement of Crafisbury in 1788, though 
he did not remove his lamily there till February, 
1791, but was there himself and experienced 
many of the hardships incident to a life in the 
wilderness, having to draw the female part ot 
his family, with otherswbocame with him,from 
Cabot, 18 miles, on hand sleds with snow shoes, 
and snow four feel deep. The town was organ- 
ized in March, 1792, and Samuel C. Crafts was 
the first Town Clerk, which office he held, by an- 
nual election 8, till March, 1829, in. which Joseph 
Scoit (then Jun., was elected and has held it till 
Feb., 1851.) Samuel C. Cralts was bom at 
Woodstock, in the county of Windham, S»ate

♦The town of Wey bridge, politically, has been about even. This year, Samuel Jewett was re- 
turned a member by one majority. He took his seat in the House, which was politically against 
him. and it was contested, and the Committee on Elections reported that he was not duly elected. 
The House accepted the report by a vote of 98 to T7. and the seat left vacant. The old gentle- 
man remarked, -' I am on the gain, I had but one majority to come here, and I have got twenty- 
one majority to go home."

REV. AARON LELAND, 

Was settled over the Baptist society in Chester in 17S8, and continued as their Pastor, till his 
death in 1833. He took an active part in politics as well as religion, being of the Jefferson school, 
was frequently elected to the o^lces of Selectman, Town Clerk, &c. He was chosen to represent 
the town in 1801, and was chosen nine years after, making ten years a member of the House, three 
years of which he was chosen Speaker, and was four years a Councillor, and five years was chosen 
Iiieutenant Governor by the people. He was eighteen years one of the Assistant Justices of the 
County Court. — The Parson was fond of a good joke, and he had one neighbor, Hugh Henry, who 
was a match for him. On a Saturday evening, a young man, and moneyless, called at the Parson's 
house for supper and lodging. The Parson did not see fit to comply with the request, and sent 
him to his neighbor Henry, and assured him that he would be well provided for, but still the man 
will refuse yon at first, but you stick to him and he will accommodate you. The young man called 
as diirected, and was refused. I was told yon would refuse to keep me unless I stuck to yon, which 
I shall do' Who told you that ? said Mr. Henry, a large man at such a house. Well, if Parson 
Leland sent you here yon shall stay, and what would yon like for supper ? O most any thing that 
comes handy, for I have no money to pay you. But what would you choose if yon had money ? I 
shftuld like a good warm supper had I wherewith to pay you. for to be honest with you, I have had 
Very little food to-day. A warm supper was soon provided, to which the young man paid his best 
respects, nor was he allowed to depart the next morning tillhe had done justice to a good breakfast. 
The youngman was going to try his fortune in the western wilderness, and had a small dog with

him. Just before he was ready to start, and being near meeting time, Mr. Henry informtd his 
guest, that his dog was not a proper one to go into the wilderness with, and that he had a neighbor 
who had a large dog, and just the one for the woods among the wild animals, and ho would like to 
exchange him for a small one, but no doubt he will refuse at first, and. tell you to go about your 
business, I do not swap dogs on Sunday, and the like, but you stick to him and you will get his dog. 
The young man went to the house just as the Parson was starting for meeting and informed him that 
he had come to swap dogs, and received the answer that Mr. Henry predicted. Well I was told 
you would make such excuses, but that in case I stuck to you I should get jour dog, and that, sir, 
Tou may rest assured I shall do, and went with the Parson to the steps of the meeting house. Ij^ho 
Parson finding the man to be as good as his word, told him to go and take the dog, and be off in a 
hurry, and never trowble me again in this way. Mr. Henry outlived the Parson a few years, but 
theur remains are both in one grave yard in Cheater, and not far distant from each other as their 
grave stones show.

The Council of Censors chosen in 1799, and 1806, did not order any convention to be holden, and 
no alterations were made in the Constitution by any convention between 1793 and 1829. The con- 
vention of 1829 made an amendment in relation to the voting of Foreigners, that made it neces- 
sary for them to become naturalized before they were allowed to vote in freemen's meeting. The 
convention of 1836 changed the old Council of 12, to a Senate of 30. The convention of 1843 
made no alteration. The convention of 1850 changed the mode of electing County Court Judges, 
Sheriffs, High Bailiffs, State's Attomies, Judges of Probate, and Justices of the Peace, giving the 
appointaent of those offioen to the people of their eeveral diitricte.

HON. GAMALIEL PAINTER 

Came into Middlebury, from Salisbury, Conn., in company with John Chipman, from the same 
place, early in the year 1773, with a view of making a permanent settlement. Before they arrived, 
a Mr. Benjamin Smalley had come into town with his family for the same object, and builta small 
house, the first erected in town. They settled near together in the south west comer of the town. 
Chipman had commenced a clearing of six or eight acres in 1766 and abandoned it, as no one lived 
within many miles of him. When ho returned he settled on the same lot that he first began upon, 
and where Jonathan Seeley now resides. Painter settled near a mile south of him on the south 
line of the town, as the lines are now established, and Smalley about half a mile west of Chip- 
man. Thus the settlement continued to increase till the ravages of the war caused them all to a- 
bandon their homes in Jane, 1776, except Benjamin Smalley and a Mr. Daniel Foot, and they fol- 
lowed in September after. After the close of the war, in 1783, many of those who had left in 1776, 
with otiiers rettimed to the town, and became permanent settlers. Thompson's Vermont, does not 
inform as whethw Painter or Chipman retamed or not. Gamaliel Painter and John Chipm an re-

DAVID REDDING AND ETHAN ALLEN. 

In the journals of the Legislature held at Bennington, June6,l778j may be found the following; 

VoteJy that the petition presented to this House by David Redding, be taken into consideration} 
and that a committee of five be appointed to prepare a bill, in consequence of said petition, &c. 
Committee chosen, Mr. Webb, Mr. Alverd, Capt. John Fassett, Ensign Harris and Major Olin. 

Bedding had been convicted of enemical conduct towards Vermont which was considered, at that 
time, unpardonable by the multitude, and sentenced to be executed on the 4th day of June. The 
curiosity which has ever been manifested on such ocsasions, was greatly heightened on this, as it 
was the first public execution ever witnessed in Vermont. To this curiosity was added a strong 
feeling of indignation which such a crime was calculated to excite in those days. A vast multitude 
collected to witness the execution. In the meantime, Redding's Council had discovered a very 
important defect in the proceedings. Redding had been tried by a jury of six only, which was not 
in accordance with the common law of England, which required twelve. On application to the Gov- 
ernor and Council, the following reprieve was granted just as the people were assembling to view 
the execution : 

" In Council, June 4th, 1778. 

To Benparain Fay, Esq., Sheriff of the County of Bennington .—This Council have taken into 
tonsideration, this day, the petition of David Redding, now a prisoner, under sentence of death, 
aD4 do hereby, in Conyention, reprieve him, the said David Redding, until Thursday next, the 11th 
inftani, Jnne, precisely at the hour of 2 o'clock, in the afternoon of said day. You are, thereforei 
kMtbj ordered to suspend his execution until that time. 

By order ol Council, Thomas Crittexdhv**

On the reading of the reprieve a clap of thunder would not produced half of the excitement man- 
ifested. Reasoning was out of the question. The mass had pronounced him guilty, and were not 
in a condition to understand how the verdict of the whole could, so easily, be set aside by the Gov- 
ernor and Council. While they were a;2;itating what to do, and greatly excited with indignation. 
Ethan Allex, suddenly pressing through the crowd, ascended a stump, and waving his hat, ex- 
claimed, "Attention the whole " — proceeded to announce the reason which produced the re- 
prieve — advised the multitude to depart peaceably to their homes, and return on the day fixed for 
the execution, in the act of the Governor and Council ; — adding with an oath — You shall see some- 
body hung at all events, for if Reddiiig is not then hung, I will be hung myself." Upon this assu- 
rance, the people beeame quiet and soon dispersed. Redding was again tried on the 9th and exe- 
cuted OIL the lltli, go that Alien was spared to show an act of humanity two years afterwards.

aid of a few neighbors was continued through the night. The next day a universal turn oat re- 
newed, and continued the search till the middle of the afternoon of the third day, when it was ansae- 
cassfally relinquished, and the people assembled who had been out, with a view of returning to 
their homes. Being about to disperse, a laree, stout man ascended a stump, and in a loud voice 
informed them that the search ought not to be abandoned. Soon ^very eye was upon him. In 
the osoal manner of the man, after pointing to the father and mother of the children^ now over- 
come with grief and despair, badeeach person present, and especially those who were parents, to 
make the case of those parents their own, and then say whether they would go contentedly home, 
and not make one more effort to save those dear little ones, who were, probably, now alive, bat fast

By a law passed in. February, 1781, the election of Coun- 
ty OflScers were ^iven to the people of their respective dis- 
tricts, except the State's Attorne;^8. The law was very 
similar to the one now in forcfe, hence arises the difficulty 
of ascertaiiiing who our County officers were dnriog tha 
continuance of that • law, as they were not to be found on 
the Legislative Journals. - , 

^ #In the following pages, 6gure 1 denotes Chief Justices, 
2, Assistants, '3, Clerks of the Courts, 4, Sheriffs, '5, 
State's Attorneys, 6, Judges of Probate, 7, Registers of 
Probate. • 



u 



Benjamin Baldwin 



The above are all the Judges of a Special Court that I can find were appointed previous to 1781 
Nor have I been able to find by any county records that they had Clerks, Sheriffs or State's Attor- 
neys till 1781. It does, however, appear Irom other sources that Clerks, Sheriffs, and States Attor- 
neys were appointed previous to the time abovd stated. . Slade's State papers inform us ihat D^vid 
Redding who' was executed at Benninglon,. Jnnel 1, 1778, M'as, or had been in the custody of- Ben- 
jamin JPay, Sheriff. of the County of Bennington, (page 239,) By the same authority it appears 
that Joseph Fay on the 10th of December, 1778, was appointed Clerk of the Supreme Court for 
Bennington Co., and on' the 26th of May,, ,1779, Stephen R. Bradley was appointed Clerk for 
Cumberland County, pages 249^ 251 and 2.52 we are informed that Noah Smith was appointed 
State's Attorney pro <6to for Cumberland Co., in May, 1779, and in June, 1779., was appointed 
State's Attortiey for Bennington County, Thus it appears thai those officers were appointed not- 
withstanding the couirl records do not show it.I 

In February, 1779, a law was passed divid:ing the State into two counties. Bennington on the* 
west and Cumberland on the east side of the mountain. ' If it was divided as laid ^own m the law 
published in Slade's State papers, (paged 294-.5,) the county of Cumberland would look rather 
waspish, heing but 6 miles wide near tbe center^ but as there was then no town in the State by the 
name of Bradford, it is presumed that 3^rnard is the-town on which the line shpuld be described ; 
as that would be running a very proper course, between ihe last and next mentioned points. 

SincJB the abovie was in type, I have received a letter fxov^ the Clerk of the Court in Bennington, 
which says . " I could not find any Record, nor anything else to shoW who were the Sherifft of the 
County before 1786, but I have just had a conversation with Samuel Fay, who resides in the house 
where "the" Council of Safety" held its meetings la tbi* town, and he says that Benjamin Fay, his 
father, was Sheriff two or three ^ears, and remembers when he hung Redding, and when bis father's 
time had expired Jonas Gialusha took the office, an^ he continued in it till David Robinson was ap- 
pointed. He is now 79 years old, and' has been Deputy Sheriff 18 years and Sheriff 12, making 30 
years in the Sheriff department. 

. HON. SAMUEL SAFFOED. 

Oh page 37 is a short account of. the Hon. Samuel Safford. I have since that was printed found 
that his grandfather, Joseph Safford, camefrorn England'and settled first at Plymouth, Mass., and 
removed to Norwich, Conn., in 1723. Joseph Safford, jr., the father of Samuel, was bom at Ip- 
«:wich, Mass , in 1705. Samnci Safford was born at Norwich, Conn., April U, 1737, and died at 
Bennington March I3th, 1813, being very jiear 76 years of age. On page 38, Ir-st' line but one,

DUBARTUS WILLARD, 

Known more familiarly by the name of Bartic Willard, in an early day resid 
ed at Essex, and was a wheel right by trade. He was also a satirictil poet, and 
prided himself on taking some one off in a short way. He was the first Repre- 
sentative of Essex, chosen in 1786, but not afterwards. Tho next day after h( 
was chosen, he went to pay his respects to Gov. Chittenden, and the Govemoi 
bad been informe'I who was chosen from Essex, but thinking to give Bartie a 
small itbot — knowing it would be returned with interest, he asked him who they 
chose in his town for Representative t Bartie answered, for the want of better stock they 
me. " Well," said the Governor. " It's a misfortune that we have got to be so poor in some of our 
towns about here, as not to be Mt to get iron, and hare to use wood ibr wedges.'' " TbL«&\«

* JOSEPH BOWKER, ESQ. 

In a late publication, in a note from the above name, 1 find an account, from which I make the 
following statement: Joseph Bowker came lo Rutland at an early period of its settlement and 
was active and energetic in his opposition to the unjust claims of New York, ana was among the 
first in effecting a genj^al organization of the inhabitants of tho Grants in opposition to those 
claims. This opposition, in an organized form, was first effected by a convention which met at 
Dorset in Janoary, 1776, at which time an association was formed and entered into ** to d«*fend by 
arms the liberties of these United American States against the fleets and armies of Great Britain." 

*^kh CottTention rAtlfted the United States' Constitution before her admission into the Union.

in 1791, and twice afterwards. Dorinfj his third term in Congress, in 1796, he becnme identified 
with the rising repuhlican party, hy voiinjr against the appropriation of funds to carry into effect 
Jay's Tre/ity. This being uns itisfactory to a majority of his coostituents, Mathew Lyon was chos- 
en a member in room <>f Gov. Smith. In 1797, the Legislature, of which he was a member, elect- 
ed him Chief Judge of the Supreme Court. He was a noble looking man, and got the name of *khe 
handsome Judge." At the Vergennes Slauglitor in 1798, Gov. Smith was not re elected. In 1800 
he was again chosen a member of Congress which he held one term, and at the end of which he 
took his seat in the United States Senate in March, 1803, which office he resigned on being chosen 
Governor of the State in October, 1807. While Governor he called the attention of the Lcgislatare 
to the mode of punishment then existing, and tu his influence was the present penitentiary systaoi 
adopted. He held the offiee but one year, daring which his health was much impaired His grave 
ftone was worded so different from most others, that I took a copy of it, anc} is as follows: 
'•The Honorable Israel Smith, born at Suffield, Connecticut, April 4th, 1759, 
and died at Rutland, Vermont, Dec. 2d, 1810. 

No Icnjjthcned scroll, no praise encumbered stone, , 

My epitaph shall be my name alone ; 

If that with honor fail to crown my clay. 

Oh ! may no other fame my deeds repav. 

That, only that, shall sinp^leout tbespot, 

By that rememliered^or with that forgot."

APPENDIX 



TO 







Containing the true date of the charter of each town, and by what state granted; Th« 
first settlement and settlers, when organized, first Town Clerk, Constable and Selectmen, 
the first white person born in the town, and all the Town Clerks who have served twelve 
years — and the above officers that are now living, and were appointed during the last centu- 
ry. Also, the Justices of the Peace now living, who have served twelve years, and those 
deceased who have served twenty years. In this part of the work inaccuracy must be ex- 
pected, as the same name occurs in difibrent towns, which may sometimes be the same 
person, and soinetimes not. I have endeavored to have those cases correct, but probably 
have failed in some. 

In consequence of wrong names being printed in the Journals and Registers, I shall coilrect. 
in the last part of the Appendix, some errors in the Catalogue, not yet mentioned therein. 



Bscplanation of the Abbreviations. 
Gran.^ stands for Granted. Char., for Chartered, or dated. F. Settler, for first Settler. 
Org., for Organized. F. T. C, for first Town Clerk. F. Con., for first Constable. F. Sel.,

ACTON, was a small town in Wind- 
ham county, chartered by Yt. to Moses 
Johnson and 32 others, Feb. 23, 1782, by 
the name of Johnson's Gore, containing 
5045 acres. It was incorporated by the 
name of Acton, Nov. 6, 1800, but with- 
out the right of a representative in the 
legislature only in connection with Towns- 
hend. First Settlers, Timothy and No- 
ah Fisher, Riverius Hooker, and Eben- 
ezer Bevins in 1781. Organized March 
3, 1801. Fst. Town Clerk, Waitstill

each organized town in the State were by 
the Constitution entitled to a represen- 
tative in the General Assembly; and in 
1824 was first separately represented by 
Ebenezer Huntington^ and was repre- 
sented nine years before it was annexed 
to Townshend Oct. 29, 1840. Fst. Jus- 
tice of peace, Amos Hale, 1802. Others, 
Lemuel Farewell^ 35 yrs. Ebenezer

and Daniel Fisher^ 14 yrs. to 1852; 

ADDISON is on the west side of Ad- 
dison county, has two post-offices, Chim- 
ney Point and Addison. Char. Oct. 14 
1761, by N. H. with 28,800 acres. Oct- 
22, 1894, a part of this town was annex- 
ed to Weybridge; and three days after 
another part was set to Waltham. The 
first Settlers of Western Vermont were a 
few French families in the south-west 
part of this town in 1731. The first Yan- 
kee settlers in this town were Mr. Ward, 
Col. John Strong, and Capt. Zadock Ev- 
erest in 1766. They, and others who soon 
came on, were all forced to leave during 
the war; and on their return in 1783 
found that their buildings were all des- 
troyed. F. Yankee bom in town, John 
Strong jr. June 14,1766. Org. March 
29, 1784. F. T. Clk. John Strong; F. 
Con. David Valance; F. Selectmen John

ALBANY is in the southeasterly part 
of Orleans county, has one post-office. 
Charter granted June 27, 1781, charter- 
ed June 26, 1782, by Vt. to Henry E. 
Lutterloh and 64 others, by the name of 
Lutterloh, which was altered to Albany,

ALBURGH was situated in the north 
west comer of Grand Isle county, and the 
state; had three post-offices, Alburgh, 
Alburgh Springs, and West Alburgh. 

Not being able, after repeated solici- 
tations, to learn any late or ancient news 
from it, I am apprehensive it has Ste^Jt 
out, or ran off the track. From the shape 
of the town, it took the name of Missisco 
Tongue; and by that name it was first re- 
presented in the legislature by Thomas 
P. Loid in 1786. It was Chartered to 
Ira Allen and 64 others by Vt., Feb. 23 
1781, by the name of Alburgh. But the 
settlers did not reco^ize the right of Ira 
Allen or any other human being to take 
possession of their lands without their 
consent. Lawsuits were commenced and 
continued a number of years; but the set- 
tlers held their lands. This grant was 
for 23,040 acres. Ira Allen and his 64 
associates obtained from Vt, another 
charter by the name of Woodbridge Oct. 
26, 1781, lying east of, and joining Al- 
burgh, and to contain 23,040 acres; but 
not finding land enough in the bounds of 
both grants to meet Alburgh, Wood- 
bridge was not located. Nov. 1 , 1 792, a 
part of Alburgh was set to Highgate. 

Lewis Sowles was T. Clk. 39 yeaxs. 
F. Justice, Thomas P. Loid, 178B— 
Others, Ichabod Niks 28yrs. Joseph

It does not seem very probable that 
this was the first organization of the 
town, considering its early settlement; 
but as the town had no representative in 
the Vermont Legislature, till Siamuel 
Wells was chosen in 1780, and having 
in that quarter some New York notions, 
the town might, for some reasons best 
known to its citizens, delay their organ-

he replenished his pack, and laid in well for 
powder and lead, fish-hooks and lines, not for- 
getting that a number of garden seeds might 
be wanted about the habitation he had con- 
templated upon. This committee, on their re- 
turn to Sunderland, took such measures as gave 
to the friends of Mr. Broadt, a knowledge of 
his whereabouts. Capt. Bradley had that sea- 
son cleared off 4 or 5 acres and sowed it to 
wheat, 4 or 5 miles below Broadt's settlement, 
with a calculation to move his numerous family 
on to it the next season, and gave him an invi- 
tation to pay him a long visit whenever he 
should discover that his family had arrived, 
and that Mrs. Bradley was a Dutch woman, 
and they could understand each other, and 
learn more fully his history. Capt. Bradley 
had spent the summer of 1786 on his new place 
till September, when he returned to Sunder- 
land for his family and arrived with them in 
October. I will now give my informant's own 
story. " About two weeks after our arrival,

bins, Nathan Foot, Samuel Blodgett, and

the south on the evacuation of the Fort 
at Ticonderoga, and did not return till 
after the peace. In the winter of 1 783-4 
about 30 families came into the town, 
and so rapid was the increase, that in 
1791 the population was 826, the largest 
in the oountv, and more than double to 
that of Middlebury. Nearly all those

First Representative, Nathan Foot, in 
1778-9. This Doctor Foot had been 
driven frem the town with the others in 
1777, and during his absence, knowing 
the superior goodness of the lands he 
made many purchases. When the legis- 
lature was in session in Oct. 1778, he ¥ras 
there, and in consequence of the land he 
owned in tiie town ne was admitted as 
the member from Gomw&ll, as recorded 
in the journals, (see Slade's State papers 
page 276) when at that time no person 
resided in Cornwall. This explams the 
difference between Thompson's Gazetteer 
and Deming's Catalogue in many other 
towns. Deming took from the journals, 
and Thompson after the towns were or-^ 
ganized. Thompson is right as to Corn- 
wall, Hiland Hall was we first Repre- 
sentative after its organization. This 
same Nathan Foot, after the Peace, re- 
turned to Cornwall, and assuming the 
office of town clerk, recorded in a small 
book a number of deeds he had pro- 
cured during hb absence from the town ; 
but no dates appear of the time euoh 



deeds were received for record. Oc-

extract from the earliest records in the

ceedings in relation to the town. Extract, 

^' The tract of land called Dummers- 
ton is a part of the tract of land on the 
west side of Connecticut River formerly 
granted to Connecticut government as an 
Equivalent for some lands which the pro- 
vince of Massachusetts Bay had granted 
to their planters, which, upon enquiry, 
was found to be within the Government 
of Connecticut. In order to secure the 
property of ye soil to the Massachusetts 
planters, that government granted to 
Connecticut the property of sundry tracts 
of their province lands, one of which was 
the tract here mentioned, which the gov- 
ernment of Connecticut sold to sundry 
>private Gentlemen, among whom were 
ithe late Hon. William Dummer and 
^<8imeon) Stoder Esq. whose heirs are 
now the proprietors of one half of the 
^hole tract on Connecticut River, sup- 
posed to contain 4800 acres; the said 
Wm. Dummer being the oldest proprie- 
tor, the tract was called after him, the 
name is now kept up in acknowledge- 
anent of the title from the original grant 
of the Massachusetts government, which 
is the title the land is now held by. On 
the settlement of the jurisdictional line 
of the province of Massachusetts Bay 



with that of New Hampshire, the tract 
of land here mentioned fell within the 
limits of New Hampshire Ck)vemment, 
which incorporated the whole into three 
townships, including in the middle town- 
ship the greatest part of the land belong- 
ing to the heirs of Wm. Dummer and 
Stoder, and called the name of it Ful- 
lum,by virtue of which the privileges of a 
town are now held. Besides the town 
of Fullum what is known by the name 
of Dummerston including nearly one half 
of the town of Putney. " This being the 
centre town a part of fche ffrant must be 
in Brattleboro' It will he seen that 
Brattleboro', Dummerston and Putney 
charters are the same date and the same 
No- of acres.

Greensboro, for the purpose of changing 
the outlet in part, from the south to the 
north, in order to help the mills on Bar- 
ton river. No sooner had they got the 
water running, than it began to wash 
away its former boundary, composed of 
quick-sand, and a thin crust of clay and 
gravel next to the water. The washing 
away of the sand left the crust too weak 
to hold the water of a pond 1 ^ miles 
long, and half a mile broad, it broke, and 
in fifteen minutes the whole water of the 
pond was on a quick time march for 
Canada, and sweeping the valley of every 
thing movable, taking many horses^ cat- 
tle and sheep, to the Canada market.

was removed half a mile. The channel 
at the outlet is 127 feet deep. The 
water on its passage in some places was 
60 feet high, and tv^enty rods wide, 
and reached Memphremagog Lake, 27

Shepherd, the first birth in town, and the 
proprietors gave him 100 acres of land. 
In consequence of a fire in this town Au- 
gust, 30, 1831, by which the town records

deeds that have been recorded, and old 
justices files in the county clerks office.

040 acres. Char. June 29, 1762, by N.

pal proprietor, James Rogers, became a 
tory and fled to Canada, by which act 
the lands were confiscated. April 20, 
1780, the state of Vermont chartered 
the town to Edward Aiken, Samuel 
Fletcher, and Joseph Tyler, a committee 
to carry out a resolve of the Legislature 
of March, 1780. In this charter the 
town is named Londonderry. In 1795, 
James Rogers, Jr., petitioned the legis- 
lature to grant him one half of l^e lands 
of the town that remained unsold, and it 
was granted. In 1797, he petitioned 



again for the other half, and alledging as 
a reason, that if it was right that he 
should have one half, it was right that he 
should have the whole, and his petition 
was granted. F. settlers, James Rogero, 
Samuel Thompson, and James Patter- 
son, 1774 ; Glazier, Hellick, Eddy, Mont-

vided, and the eastern part named Wind- 
ham. Oct. 21,1 797, a part of Windham 
was annexed to Londonderry. The first 
records of the town show that Robert 
McCormick was town clerk in 1780, and 
in 1793 Rufus Thayer was constable, 
and Peter Aik^n. James Mack, and 
Abial Whitman, were selectmen. It is 
not to be supposed that those were the 
first officers appointed, but that the early 
records have gone a journey and forgot 
to return. First bom, David Rogers, 
son of Col. James Rogers, about 1775. 
None of the above or any of the ancient 
officers are now living. Dr. John Gib-

over " Hog Back Moun^m " to Waterbury, 
one of the roughest places in all creation, al- 
most. The cows must bo found, or the chil- 
dren must go to bed supperless. In this di- 
lema she made up her mind to ** go ahead," 
and crossing the almost impassable mountain 
«nd following on, found her cows near the 
present railrcMid depot in Waterbury, six or 
seven miles from home. By this time it had 
become dark, and backed up by a tremendous 
thunder shower, rendered it so dark, that re- 
turning over that mountain in the night was 
out of the question. In this unpleasant situ- 
ation she found her way to Mr. James Marsh's, 
the only hut in that village, and staid till the 
first appearance of day light, then started her 
cows for-home on a double quick time tune, 
where she safely arrived before any of her 
children had completed their morning nap. 
She concluded that her children had so long a 
crying spell before going to sleep, that they 
did not awake as early as usual

In July, 1830, a heavy rain fell over 
the towns comprising the heads of the 
streams of New Haven river, continuing 
for 2 or 3 days, swelling the river much 
above its former freshets. During the 
last day of the rain many of its inhabi- 
tants become alarmed for the safety 
of their own lives, in houses which had 
ever been safe from any previous freshet. 
At the lower falls on the river, at a place 
then called " Beaman^s Hollow, " now 
" Brooksville," just above the high Rail 
Road bridge over that river, suffered the 
most severely. Between the Rail Road 
and the village is a very narrow gulf, not 
over 15 or 20 feet wide, with a perpen- 
dicular bank of solid rock on the south 
side, and a very abrupt bank on the north, 
to the heighth of 20 or 25 feet. The 
night came on with intense darkness, 
rain falling in torrents, one heavy bridge 
And a smaller one were carried down the 
current, and more than probable some of 
the long heavy strings got entangled from 
bank to bank, and other timber and flood- 
wood accumulating against it in such 
r entities as to raise the water above to 
t height that it caused the mills, 
buildings, houses, ^c, to float down 
stream. Many had exposed their lives 
in aid of others by being in the water 
while rising by the operation of the tem- 
porary dam, which dam gave way, and 
19 persons were carried through the gulf, 
five only of which were found alive, the 
other 14 perished, and some were never 
found. 

8arah Squier, bom March '8, 1776, died July

great toes by frost, June 8, or 9, 1816, 
being lost in the woods over night. 

The early settlers were much harrassed 
by the enemy during the war. In 1774, 
a line was run from Connecticut river in 
Bamet, through Peacham to Missisco 
Bay, which was an aid to all in passing 
to and from those places, of which the 
enemy afterwards took advantage. In 
1776, Gen. Bay ley had orders to open a 
road from Newbury to St. Johns, for the 
purpose of conveying troops, provisions, 
&c., into Canada. When he had made it 
6 miles above Peacham, found our army 
had retreated from Canada, and the 
opening of the road was discontinued. 
In 1779, Gen. Hazen came to Peacham 
with a part of his regiment, for the pur- 
pose, as he said, of completing the afore- 
said road. He made a passable road for 
50 miles above Peacham, through Ca- 
bot. Walden, Hardwick, Greensborough, 
Craftsbury, Albany and Lowell, to Ha- 
zen's Notch, between Lowell and Mont- 
gomery. This is still called the ^^Hazen

was taken to help form the town of

was annexed to Brookline Oct. 25, 1804, 
and Oct. 28, 1846, a part of Dummers-

were a few men who built a fort on the 
" Great Meadow," about 1742 or 3, but 
abandoned it on the breaking out of the 
pld French war. First permanent set- 
tlers were John Perry, Michael Gilson,

isbury 17 ; Jacob K. Parish 14 ; Phin- 
ehas Moulton 1 4, and Edmond Weston 
1 4 yrs. First Bep. Asa Edgerton, 1 784. 

To a judge of land it would appear a 
wonder that in all their eagerness to ob- 
tain charters of towns, in 1761-2, that 
such a town as Bandolph should be left, 
and such as Ferdinand, Lewis, Glaston- 
bury, and many others be taken.

New York. First settler, Andrew Spear, 
1 772, whose family were the only ones 
for 5 or 6 years, and their son Ezra, 
bom in 1773, was the first birth among 
the settlers. It is said that Captive 
Johnson, bom August 30, 1 754, as de- 
scribed in Thompson's Vermont, third 
part, page 47, under Cavendish, was born 
in Reading, and the monument men-

READSBORO' is in the south-east 
corner of Bennington county, has two 
post offices, Readsboro' and West Reads- 
boro', and 20,480 acres. By what grant 
or charter the lands are holden except 
the fifteen years peaceable possession, is 
not known. New Hampshire nor Ver- 
mont ever gave any charter of this town. 

It is possible that New York made a 
grant of the town, as I find their grants 
were sufficient to cover 106 J towns of the 
usual size, in grants of over 2000 acres 
each, beside an extensive number of a 
less amount; but where they all are 
would puzzle any person of usual patience 
to find out one quarter of them if he had 
the records. As a number of their gran- 
tees found rather poor encouragement 
among the Green Mountain Boys in the 
days of Viewing and Beach Seals, it is 
not probable that many Charters were 
ever issued on those grants. 

The records of the town were destroy- 
ed by fire in 1794, and the first records 
now found in the office are dated in 1794, 
which show that Joseph Hartwell and 
Throop Chapman, Selectmen, warned a 
meeting to be holden March, 17, 1794, 
for the choice of town officers ; and at 
said meeting, John Fairbanks was chos; 



en town clerk ; Henry Davidson, consta- 
ble ; Simeon Thayer, Elijah Bailey and 
Ezra Amidon, seleotmeu. The town has 
had so many good clerks that none have 
been permitted to hold it 12 years.

Jericho, Bolton, Huntington, and Willis- 
ton, Oct. 27; 1794. Another addition 
from Bolton was made to Richmond, 
Oct. 25, 1804. The first attempt to set- 
tle the town was made in 1775, bj John 
Chamberlin, and Amos Brownson and 
families, but the war soon commencing, 
they left in the fall, and returned in 1784,

On the twelfth day of March in the year sev-

The Britons and Indians invaded our State, 

'Twas in Shelbume, brave Sawyer, these 
wretches did meet. 

And taXLj determined not to retreat.

fame; 
T'was young Bamum the Hero, he fought like 

a man, 
Saying, ** fight <m brave boys," but he quickly 

was slain. 

Onr men numbered twelve, & the enemy fifty- 
seven. 

But with this vast odds, when aided from 
Heaven, 

We drove them, we beat them, and caused 
some to fly. 

While others lay wounded &. left there to die. 

There is three of our men Ijring deaden the 

ground. 
The rest have retum'd &» are yet safe & sound; 
The enemy lost twelve, and the rest they soon 

fled. 
Some went on their feet, others drawn on a sled« 

May the name of the Hero, be never forgot, 
Who determin'd to beat, or to die on the spot; 
Let the youth of our land his example pursue; 
Oive the glory to God, and to whom it is due.

Ticonderoga, and probably in Shoreham,

given, or the grantees got possession, if 
they were given.

SOUTH HERO, Lies at the south 
end of Grand Isle county, has one post 
office, and 9065 acres. Char. Oct. 27, 
1779, by Vermont, together with North 
Hero and Grand Isle, to Ethan Allen, 
Samuel Herrick, and 363 others. That 
part of the grant which is now North 
Hero, South Hero, and Grand Isle, was 
called "the Two Heroes." Oct. 21st, 
1 788, they were divided into two separate 
towns. North Hero, and South Hero. 
Nov. 7, 1798, South Hero was again di- 
vided, and the north town was called 
Middle Hero, till Nov. 5, 1810, it took 
its present name, Grand Isle. 

I received in Feb. a letter from this 
town without any signer, which stated 
that the town was organized in 1779. 
First town clerk, Jonathan Knicker- 
bocker; first Con., Alexander Hoye; 
first Sel., Timothy Pearl, Ephraim Duel 
and Thomas P. Loid. Historical facts 
contradict all this, for the first settler in 
the town, or on the Island, was Ebcnezer 
Allen, Aug. 25, 1783. It is therefore 
evident that the above was an organiza- 
tion of the proprietors only, and what 
confirms it more fully, I find that Eben- 
ezer Allen was appointed the proprietors 
clerk after J. Knickerbocker, and this 
meeting was very soon after the date of 
the charter. I wrote to the town clerk 
10 days ago, but have received no ans- 
wer. I shall have to refer you to him 
for any further factiS. 



Constant Reynolds was town clerk 17 
years, or more. First settler,* Ebenezer 
Allen, Aug. 25, 1783. First justice, 
Ebenezer Allen, 1 786 ; others, Wallis 
Mott 23 years ; Lorenzo Hall 20 ; Alson 
Landon 17, and Orange Phelps 13 yrs. 

First Rep. Ebenezer Allen, 1788. 

^Ebenezer Allen was bom at Northampton, 
Mass., Oct. 17, 1748. Married a Miss Rich- 
ards when he was 19 or 20 years of age, in 
Berkshire county, Mass., where his parents 
had removed. After he had 2 or 8 children, 
he with Tl^mas Ashley, a brother-in-law, re- 
moved to Poultney, Vt., in 1771, and com- 
menced the first improvements in that town. 
Here he had a son added to his family, which 
is supposed to be living, and was the first child 
bom in Poultney. It was not long before ho 
was appointed Oapt. in the very famous Regi- 
ment of Rangers commanded by Col. Herrick, 
and soon after removed his family to Tin- 
mouth, where he and Maj. Thomas Rice, were 
appointed delegates to the convention at Dor- 
set, Sept. 25, 1776, which ended after several 
adjom*mnents, in declaring Vermont indepen- 
dent.- He and Charles Brewster were chosen 
delegates to the Convention at Windsor, in 
1777, that formed onr first Constitution. He 
was engaged in many skirmishes with the 
enemy, and signalized himself in the battle of 
Bennington. At one time during that battle, 
he with only 30 men, taking the advantage of 
a natural breast-work of rocks, successfully 
contended against the main body of Col. 
Baum's troops of Burgoyne's army, causing 
great slaughter among them, and a temporary 
retreat. In Sept. 1777, 600 men under Col. 
Brown were sent from Pawlet to attack Ticon- 
dcroga. Mount Defiance, and Mount Hope. 
The taking of Mount Defiance, defended by 
200 British Regulars and Artillery, was al- 
lotted to Capt. Allen, Lieut. Isaac Clark, (Old 
Rifle,) and 40 men. The work was accom- 
plished by surprise, Sept. 18, 1777, not losing 
a man. He commanded the fort at Vergennes, 
then New Haven, and many other important 
services he rendered during the war. Aug. 
26, 1783, ho landed on the south end of Soutb 
Hero, with his frame for a house, and lumber 
for other buildings, of which he made a raft 
at Shelburyio Point, on which ho took his 
family. Ho kept a public house and a ferry 
while on the Island. He continued to reside 
on tho Island and prospered, till about 1800,. 
when ho removed to Burlington, and opened » 
public house near tho south wharf. He dictf 
March 26, 1806, aged 68, and wad buried with 
Masonic honors. His widow died on the Island, 
aged 88. While ho resided on the Island ho 
would relate to his guests, (pointing towards 
Essex tianding, N. Y.) '* With about the same 
number, of Green Mountain Boys, I captured

STAMFORD, Lies in the centre of 
the south tier of towns in Bennington 
county, has one post office. Char, by 
N. H., March 6, 1753, to Elisha Cook, 
and 55 others. 62 shares, 23,040 acres. 
On the 9th of June, 1764, it was char- 
tered again by N. H., to Francis Ber- 
nard, Esq., and 65 others, 72 shares, and 
23040 acres, by the name of New Stam- 
ford, but it appears that the town has 

about 50 of the rear guard of the British 
army, on their retreat to Canada; also, their 
boats, horses, cows, goats, and I suppose all 
the equippage of Old Ti, and Crown Point." 
It was done, he said, by a Ruse^ representing 
the woods to be filled with Herrick's Rangers, 
which struck a terror to all the British troops, 
if they were supposed in be near.

their rights, than to aid in perpetual Slavery.

held to its first name, as no act has been 
passed to alter it. First settler, tradi- 
tion says a man by the name of Baymond 
was the first person in the town ; he 
built a cabin against a large rpok 14 feet 
high, 25 wide, and 33 foot long, about a 
mue south of the centre of the town, 
and against that rock he baked the first 
Johnny-cake ever baked in the town, and 
from that he ever after went by the name 
of Rock Bavmond. The first town meet- 
ing to be found on record, was held 
March 14, 1780, when Israel Mead was 
chosen town clerk ; Amos Mead, Con. ; 
and Edward Higley, Benjamin Tupper, 
and Israel Mead, selectmen. This is npt 
probably the first organization, as many 
of the old records are lost, and all the

by New York, to William Story and

Stowe. Mansfield was chartered bv N. 
H., to Jeremiah Travise and 64 others^ 
71 shares, & 23,040 acres, June 8, 1763. 
Those two grants are the only ones made 
in that county by New Hampshire ; and 
to a land speculator of the present day, 
it may seem very strange that a town 
like Mansfield should be taken, and such 
towns as Cambridge, Johnson, and Mor- 
ristown, left to be chartered many years 
afterwards. Stowe was first settled about 
1793. Org., as reported,in March 1797.

and others, in 1761. Char, by N. H., 
June 20, 1753, to John Hazeltine, and

F. Sel. Jdin Hazeltine, Isaac Barnard, 
Benjamin Woodbury, Benjamin Mark 
and William Young . F. bom. unknown. 
None of the ancient officers are living. 
On comparing this statement with the 
fact, that the town had no inhabitants 
till 1761 ; I concluded that in case such 
an organization and choice of officers was 
on the records, it was a Proprietors 
meeting only. Eight days ago I wrote 
to the Clerk for an explanation, but have 
not received any answer. Z. Thompson 
says, '^ the first town meeting was on the 
30,of Majr, 1771, Joseph Tyler, F. T. C."

VEBGENNES, Is the only incorpo- 
rated City in the State, it lies in the 
north-westerly corner of Addison county, 
has one post office. It was incorporated 
into a City by the Legislature of Ver- 
mont, Oct. 23, 1788, by taking the cor- 
ners of three towns, Ferrisburgh, New 
Haven, and Panton, and contains nearly 
two square miles. This statement, I re- 
gret to say, not only differs from histo- 
rians, but it differs from my own also, in 
Ferrisbureh, New Haven, and Panton ; 
for in eacn of those towns I took the 
statement of history, which is, that Yer- 
gennes City was incorporated from those 
towns, Oct. 23, 1783. When I found 
that the clerk's letter, which facts he had 
from Philip C. Tucker, Esq., and excel- 
lent authority, on ancient facts, stated it 
Oct. 23, 1788, I was inclined to think 
he had substituted an 8 for a 3 ; but on 
turning to the Joumals of the Legisla* 
ture under the 23d day of Oct., 1788, 
there I found it, as the clerk had stated, 

1788, and no mistake. First settlers, 
Donald Mcintosh, a Scotchman, about 
1766-7. First born, supposed to be a 
daughter of his, about 1770. Yergennes

VERNON, Is the south-east corner 
town in Windham Coiuity, aTid of the 
State, has one post office. Char, by N. 
H., Sept. 3, 1753, to Ebenczer Alexan- 
der, and 94 others, 101 shares, & 23,010 
acres, including land on both sides of 
Connecticut river. An alteration in this 
charter was made, or anuther Lssucd. 
Sept. 26, 1753, which made the land into 
two towns, dividing them by the west 
bank of Connecticut river, and named 
Hinsdale in each charter. New York 
granted some part of this town by the 
name of Hinsdale, and Fall To'.vn Gore, 
no dates found. Oct. 21, 1802, it was 
altered to Vernon. This was one of tlie 
first settled towns in the state, and the 
settlers suflfered many hardships from the 
Indians, for many years. The town was 
early organized, but by the Iofs of tlic 
records by fire in 1789, it cannot be found 
when. By old Deeds for.nd, and rc-re- 
corded, it appears that John Eridgman 
was town clerk as soon as 1765. and vras 
the first one elected, but probably some 
years, before 1785, he served till his 
death in 1803, 18 years or more ; Cyrus

WASHINGTON, Lies north-west of

post office. Gran. Nov. 6. 1780. Ohar, 
Aug. 8, 1781, to Eliaha Burton and CI 
others, with 23,040 acres. New Yorli 
granted the land in this town, by tlie 
name of Kingsland, and it was made tlie 
oapitol of Gloucester county. The grant 
was previous to May 29, 1770, (seepage 
1 19.) and OS the only grant made in that 
county by N. Y., before May 1770, was 
made to William Kelly and others, of 



24,000 acres, but n 



\ rA 



presumption is very strong that Wash- 
ington was the town granted by New 
Tork, as stated, A number of sessions 
of Courts were held in this town, and it 
contained a log Jail also. But it being 
BO diffianlt for the court to find the town 
and court house, in 1771, that they sooti 
abandoned the idea of trying, and the 
courts were held at Newbnry and Thet- 
fbrd. It appears that the inhabitants 
fioon after tne courts held their sessions 
in other towns, abandoned it also. It is 
eaid that Daniel, and John Morse, were 
the first settlers in 1785, and that a son 
of John Horse was the first person born 
in the town, and received 50 acres «f 
land, and that the town was or^nizcd 
March 1, 1792, and that Jacob Burton 
was the first town olerk. As I have been 
nnable to get from the town cletk any- 
thing whatever, I do not warrant all the 
above to be true. No person has been 
town olerfc 12 years since 1602. First

Maroh31, 1790. First town olerk. Ezra 
Butler, As to other officers, &c., I have 
not been fortunate enough to get any in- 
formation from the town clerk ; you can 
ciin call on htm for the ballance. Dan

When the town of Fairhaven was di- 
vided, ftnd not to have bnt one represen- 
tative, it was so understood between tbo 
iohabitants that each town should bare 
one every other jrear. In the Catalogue, 
the KeprosentativcB sre placed to l>air- 
haven each year, being so placed od the 
Journals and Registers. Had they been 
placed as the citizens understood it, 
Simeon Smith in 1792 and 07, Oliver 
Church in 1803-6-7-10-1 1 & 19, James 
W. Rosman 1815, and Eraatua Coleman 
in 1818, would have been set to Weatr 
Haven, who wore all eitiiens of West 
Haven at the time they wera elected. 
West Haven claimed Salmon Norton 
and Thomas Christie also, bnt Fairharen 
disputed tJM two last only, admitting the 
others to be correct, as claimed by West 
Haven.

mostly from Taunton, at which place the 
proprietors meetings were holden till 
1742, under that grant at that meeting 
steps were taken to procure a recognition 
of their grant from New Hampshire, and 
no further records are to be found till 
1753. Nov. 9, 1752, N. H. gaveachar- 
ter of the town to John Halbirt and 66 
others, 73 shares, and 23,040 acres, by

town March 16, 1772, to Michael Met- 
calf and Others, 23,500 acres. No records

the time that reoords were not esteemed 
80 highly aa nsoal, being considered dan- 
geroui for adversaries to have. It is un- 



known when tbe t«wn was organiied. 
Elkinah Day was town clerk in 1781, and 
traditional proof that he had been such 
for a number of years. In 1777, Day 
was town clerk, and Medad Wright eon- 
stable the same year, and how long be- 
fore, it is unknown. First settlers, John

WILMINGTOIS, Is in the Bouth-

post offioo. Char, by N. H., April 29, 
1751, to Phinehas Lyman, and 57 others. 
64 sharei, 23,040 acres, by the name of 
Wilmington. This town was chartered 
by N. Y., by the name of Draper; but 
when, is not ascertained, as no trace of 
it is to be found on the town records. It 
vas chartered again, by N. H., June 17, 
1763, to Ills Exl. Francis Barnard, and 
66 others, 73 shares, and 23,040 acres, 
by the name of Draper. But the settlers, 
it appears, did not recognize this grant, 
as it is not on the records, and although 
some difficulty arose under so many 
charters, but all had to submit to the 
one first mentioned. The first settle- 
ment was before the war, and the first 
bom, was Rev. Zephcniab Swift, Jan. 
20, 1771. The first town meeting on 
record was holden Jan. 19, 1778, and 
Caleb Alverd was their town clerk; when 
he was first chosen does not appear. The

WINDSOR, Ib the sonth centre town 
of the east range of towns in Windsor 
County, has one post office. Char, by 
N. H., July 6, 1761, to Samuel Ashley, 
and S8 others, 65 shares, and 23,500 
acres. It was granted by N. Y. July 7, 
1766, to David Stone, 2d, and others, 
with 24.300 acres. Another grant was 
madeof thesame, byN. Y., March 2d, 
1 772, to Zed. and David Stone, & others, 
with 23,000 acres ; and to complete it, 
N. Y. gave a charter of the tovm March 
28, 1 772, to Nathan Stone. & 22 others. 
It appears that the land holders in Wind- 
sor, during the controversy between the 
settlers on the N. H. grants and New 
York, became a little frightened about 
their N. H. title; they deeded their lands, 
in trust, to Col. Nathan Stone, who sur- 
rendered them to Gov. Tryon, of N. T., 
and received in return the last mentioned 
charter. Under the allotment of shares 
of the first Charter, the ptiblia rights

201 



were so located as to be of some use to 
those for whom they were intended ; but 
under the last charter, by the operation 
of some different mode of allotment 
which was resorted to, all those public 
rights are very near together, and on 
the almost unapproachable part of As- 
cutney Mountain, and the land worthless 
when you get to it. It is said to be "an 
ill wind that blows no where," and if 
certain individuals have been enabled by 
the operation to pocket a few more 
dollars, does it not follow that they will 
have to pay out more for the purposes 
those lands were to aid, in consequence 
of their being useless ? In 1814, this 
town was divided, and the west part 
named West Windsor, but in 1815 that 
law was repealed. On the 26th of Oct. 
1848, the town was again divided, and 
the west part named West Windsor. F. 
settlers, Capt. Steele Smith, and family, 
in August, 1764; Deacons Hezekiah 
Thompson, and Thomas Cooper, Maj. 
Elisha Hawley, and Capt. Israel Curtis, 
in 1765. A Mr. Solomon Emmons and 
wife, were here previous to the arrival of 
Capt. Smith. He lived in a hut, and no 
improvements about it. She became a 
very useful person as the county settled, 
' being a midwife, and the only one in 
those regions for a great distance. She 
lived till 1833, and was a town pauper 
for many years. F. bom, Samuel Smith, 
son of Steele Smith, July 2, 1765, and 
died in 1842, aged 77. The first female 
bom in town was Polly, a daughter of 
Nathan and Mary Stone, April 26, 1767, 
and now living. The first death in town, 
was Mrs, Elizabeth, wife of William 
Dean, Dec. 22, 1766. The town clerk 
informs me that the first town records 
he finds commence Feb. 17, 1786, and 
Briant Brown was town clerk ; Benjamin 
Cady, and Oliver Barrett, Cons. ; and 
Briant Brown, Benjamin Wait, Stephen 
Jacob, Charles Leavens, and Thomas 
Cooper, selectmen. It is not to be pre- 
sumed that this was the first organiza- 
tion, for 7i Thompson says the town was 
rapidly settled, and soon organized, and 
that Thomas Cooper was the first town 
clerk- William Hunter was town clerk 
in 1802, and 18 years after, and proba*

one line of information from the town

him for what is lacking. Asaph Toion

liam Park was town clerk from 1814-33, 
19 years. It appears that Benjamin 
Regd was proprietors and town clerk from 
1792 to 1803 ; it is therefore sure that 
he was the first town clerk, chosen when 
the first selectmen were, in 1802, which 
was probably the time the town was org.

town, like some others at the north, was 
nearly deserted during the 10 cold sea- 
sons following the great eclipse of the 
Sun June 1 6, 1 806. In 1 8 1 6, three fam- 
ilies only were left in the town, and the 
town lost their organization; but the 
warm seasons following, the citizens re- 
turned, and the town re-organized in 
March 1821, and Amasa Brown chosen 
town clerk. The town clerk of this, and 
a few other towns, remind me of the old 
Indian's dog. He said, " I have an ex- 
cellent dog, but still he has one failing, 
he has so much business of his own to 
attend to, that ho cannot get time to at- 
tend to mine at all," and I shall have to 
refer you to the town clerk for what is 
lacking. Amos Rice was town clerk to

dead or alive.

probably many were the same persons whp a

There is a whig majority of 8 to 12 in each 
house, 9rnew members in the Senate &. 13 of 
last years; House, 92 new, & 60 of last years. 



I have endeavored to make a correct list of 
the Legislature as possible in the time, and 
have to put it to press with some omissions, 
and some wrong names no doubt, but I have 
left the blanks to insert the right ones when 
it is ascertained. 

When I took from the Legislative Journals 
and Registers, the list of Representatives, at 
Montpelier, in January, 1861, with the ther- 
mometer 20 degrees below zero, I did expect 
that if people represented a town they would 
be on hand some time in the first two weeks of 
the 8ession,which was about as far as I thought 
fit to examine in such weather. But some I 
found claimed as being members for them- 
selves, or friends, on years that I had not in- 
serted their names in the Catalogue. I there- 
fore took a warmer time at Montpelier, for 
examination of Representatives, Charters and 
Justices, and the result is that I have to add 
a long Errata, some of which is occasioned 
by those who drew the names off for the 
printer of the Journals ; some of which make 
all the short letters in the shape of a fish- 
hook, so that no compositor can tell Jacob 
from Josiah or Jonah.

TEUBBLOJiT CONSTITUTION. 

The 8th aeetioR of part aecond ia aa follows ** The Houie of Repreaentativea of the freemen 
of thia atate, ahall consial of peraona moat noted for wiadom and virtue, to bb chobbr by ballot 
by the freemen ofeveiy town in thia state, leapectively, oir thb riasT Tneaday of September, 
annually, foiever." 

From thia alone, it appeara plainly that when an act mnat be done on a certain day, by the 
Coo«titution, no other day will anawer to do that duty on, nor can it be made ao by any statute 
law whatever, nnlesa that law ia in accordance with the (."ongtitution of the atate. The law re- 
lie i upon to hold the election for weeka an<l months, is the ]4lh section of chapter 1 of the Re- 
vised Statutes which aaya that the voting shai be continued *'until an election is made.'* Here 
the Con<it tutionand the law cta8h,andaa the Legidlutore have not the power to make the Con- 
atiiotion accord with the law, it ia their duty to alter the law so aanot to conflict with the Con- 
stitution. 

jiocording to the precedents by the Legislature, no freeman's meetio|| can bediaaolved till e 
Repierientutive ia chosen, if one peraon, d'unk oi aobei, obiecta to diaaolving the meetiBg, 
but the same roust be continued 19 months. Such a state of things ought not to exist, aa more 
evil than good grows out of it. bet if nothing better can be done, make a law ao that the majori. 
ty of the freemen present can dissolve the meeting af\er midnight, and go home and test eatiraei 
that the towa will not be niarepreseated by a vote of the minority, before they awake.
