JONES, MADISON
I am looking for the parents of Noyes JONES born 1808 Mar 31.
Two census show two different places. One VT one NY.. Since other
related family members are from Rutland Co. I wonder if he had
family here also. His wife Susan MADISON, b1818 Mar 24, (Mattison?)
was supposedly born VT or MA again census variants. I also found
kin in Bennington area...but that is a neighbor.
Please email me at [email protected]
Blessings thanks. Susi. (posted 27 Sep 2001).

GILRAINE, DYER, HALL
Calling all GILRAINEs! Does anyone of that surname still live
in the area? I am searching for information on my grandfather's
first wife, Sarah Elizabeth GILRAINE or GILRAIN, who was born
to James GILRAINE and Mary DYER on June 13, 1869 in Rutland Township.
She married my grandfather, Allen Marvin HALL of Isle La Motte,
Vermont, on October 16, 1896 in Lynn, Massachusetts. Though Sarah
died of "childbed fever" shortly after the birth of
her second daughter in 1900, her family stayed in close contact
with the HALLs for a number of years, and my late father remembered
them as a sprited, feisty, fun-loving Irish bunch from Rutland.
I would love to find out more about Sarah's background, in part
because I am her namesake. Thank you, Sarah
Elizabeth Hall. (posted 24 Sep 2001).

the OWEN family?
Thank you, Lois Franz.

PERRY, SMITH
I am trying to locate information on a James Samuel PERRY born
Dec. 22, 1819, in Middletown, VT. According to the family bible
it is Middletown, not Middletown Springs, but it could be a mistaken.
He then migrated to Rockford, IL where he married Lydia SMITH
(b Maine), then to Le Sueur County, Sibley County, and Blue Earth
County MN. In the 1870 census for Blue Earth County one child
is listed as living with Lucius DYER, also of Vermont. Any information
is greatly appreciated. Lisa

Vt in the early 1800s. If anyone has info on his parents please

HIGGINS, GRAY
I am trying to find a birth record for Bertha J. HIGGINS, aka
"Birdie." She was born Abt. 1884 in Rutland Co., VT
-- possibly Proctor. She married John William GRAY and gave birth
to at least three children, with the third, George William (my
grandfather) born in 1904. I am also hoping to find Birdie's marriage
record to John William. In a wild guess, I would say they married
in either 1900 or 1901.
If anyone can find anything or knows anything about my great-grandmother,
I would be very grateful to hear from them!

COGSWELL
I am searching for information on parents of Tryphena COGSWELL,
daughter of John. Tryphena was born possibly April, 1781 Vermont.
She married William MARTIN in 1808. Her mother's name may have
also been Tryphena. E.O. Jameson's book, "Cogswells in America"
places Tryphena in a John COGSWELL family (page 261). This John
is listed as having lived in Vermont, in the vicinity of Whitehall,
NY. John and Hannah Roys COGSWELL of Whitehall, NY, do not appear
to be Tryphena's parents. Rhonda
