Message:: [QUOTE="Ladybranch, post: 88098, member: 44"]Morning ladies! You both are no doubt right, only an index with probably no real info. Did spend time on the NEHGS website doing searches in their many databases. Several Vermonth John Campbells in the 1790s-1870s timeframe did come up in censuses and birth/marriage/death records. Impossible to tell if any the one we want because none of them had Captain before the name. I suspect Capt. John probably was not born in VT. As Baker noted earlier, VT was settled by many from CT. Many of the state's counties and towns carry CT names for example the towns of Woodstock, Windsor, Pomfret, New Haven, and the counties Windham Co. and Windsor Co. It was fairly easy to migrate from CT to VT via the Connecticut River. A couple ancestral branches on the paternal side of my family went from CT to VT. One if them received land in VT in lieu of money for Revolutionary military service. One ancestral branch on my maternal side also migrated to VT soon after the Revolution from MA. Many of VT towns also carry MA town names, anddd all these names were carry over the "big pond" from England! --- Susan[/QUOTE]
