Is your ancestor missing in Vermont?
Perhaps you have been looking in the wrong places. In 1771, Vermonters
were enumerated in a New York census. Most of the settlers, however,
thought of the area as the New Hampshire Land Grants. With this newly
reconstructed census you will find some 5,000 early Vermont household
heads collected from over 70 New Hampshire, New York, and Vermont
documents. Each listing includes name of household head, date, town of
residence, a biographical note, and a reference to the original source.

How ambitious were your colonial ancestors? Did any
of them gain or lose wealth through land speculation? A quick check of
this fiche may uncover a familiar name from Connecticut, New Hampshire,
Massachusetts, or Rhode Island--a grantee who received land under the
Vermont Charters or the New Hampshire Land Grants.
You will find in this publication the names of over
14,000 persons granted land in early Vermont by the New Hampshire Land
Grants and Vermont Charters along with an annotated bibliography of the
boundary disputes between New Hampshire and Vermont.
The New Hampshire Land Grants (1749-1764)
distributed 58% of present-day Vermont to early New England settlers.
The Vermont Charters (1763-1803) allotted the
remaining 42% of the state to other New Englanders, mostly Connecticut
migrants.
