| SCOVIL, GILMAN | I am looking for information about Ann Scovil born in Vermont
about 1814 but grew up in Brome, Quebec. Religion is Methodist. Her married name is Thompson, and she also went
as Annie or in later life Annette. She died in Toronto in 1903
according to her death certificate apparently. Her father was
Stephen Scovil and her mother was Rebecca Gilman. Her grandfather was Dudley Gilman, Battle of Bunker Hill veteran, so she is SAR. She is my great great grandmother. Can you help me? |

| WOODWARD | I am interested in any information related to *Theodorus Woodward* (1761-1842), who was
born in Kent, CT, and died in Norfolk, NY. He married first *Sally Ferguson* ( -c.1798), second *Esther Stark* ( - 1817), and third “old Mrs. Woodward” ( - 1843). Theodorus lived in Orford, NH (c.1771), Vershire (c.1781-1800), Chelsea (c.1802-1823), and Tunbridge, VT (c1809), and moved to Norfolk, NY around 1823. His children were a daughter? (1791 census), *Jehial* (1791-1875), *John* (1800-1852), *Cyril* (1802-a1860), *Harry* (1804-a1850), *Harriot* (1806-), *Hannah* (1808-1906), *Calvin Porter* (1811-a 1880). |

| SHIPPEE, SHIPPEY | Interested in corresponding with anyone regarding this surname. The Shippee family lived in Danby, Rutland Co., VT, removing from there to western New York State around 1820. Hezekiah and Emelicia Shippee/Shippey were the parents with known children born in Vermont named Elisha, and Albert. More children were born in NYS. I think there may have been one or two more born in Vermont, names unknown. There was a Jacob Shippee living as a freeman in Vermont in 1790. He may have been Hezekiah's father or brother. |  |
| BOWMAN | Looking for information on Samuel BOWMAN, in Waitsfield, VT by 1812, married there 1813 Relief HAWLEY. A child's death certificate suggests he was born in Barnard, VT. From census records he was born 1780-1790. His estate was administered 27 Mar 1850, 'of Fayston', but I haven't found his & wife's graves. |  |
| WELLS, ELLSWORTH | Looking for information about the parents of Harlow G. WELLS, born c1812, place uncertain. He married Mary ELLSWORTH, dau of Simon and Mehitable, before 1845. They lived in Franklin County, VT, where Mary died in 1880, and Harlow died in 1893. Harlow apparently married, in 1881, Sophia COBBS of St. Albans. HIs death record, as given by Peter Mallett in his Vital Records of Georgia, Vermont book, says that he was born in "Saulsbury, NY." Census records say he was born in Vermont, as were his parents [1880 census]. I have been unable to trace these people any further back and would appreciate any lead. |  |
