Message:: [QUOTE="Bakersgma, post: 88116, member: 59"]Found him in the 1850 Census. One member of his household is the youngest son mentioned in the book. Also found the Index card (actually copy of the handwritten card) of Vermont Vital Records with his death record. Called "Captain," same date of death, place of birth and death, spouse's name. Unfortunately the cemetery referenced in not included in Find-A-Grave. One other thing - this kind of "town history" is normally much more accurate and authentic than the books written in the late 1800's giving "puff piece" history of various important personages in many towns and counties around the country. The person who wrote it had access to the original source documents and in much greater detail (note the property ownership information) than the other type.[/QUOTE]
