Today we’ve added 20 new and updated sketches to Early Vermont Settlers, 1700-1784. The people profiled in these sketches lived in Vernon, Dummerston, Brattleboro, and Fort Dummer.

These sketches were created by Scott Andrew Bartley, who is researching the heads of families who lived in Vermont prior to the Revolutionary War. His study project is not only identifying those who sought better lives on the frontier, but is also illustrating major players on the political and religious fronts and uncovering regional migration patterns for this period.
