Columns for special counts, not to be included in the aggregate total. Census takers were asked to use double lines, red ink or some other method of distinguishing these columns so that double counting would not occur. For example, the count of free white males between 16 and 18 was a special count, because these individuals were also supposed to be tabulated in the column for free white males of age 16 and under 26. The other special counts were foreigners not naturalized, persons engaged in agriculture, persons engaged in commerce, and persons engaged in manufacture.

Count each individual in only one of the occupational columns. census taker had to judge which one the individual was primarily engaged in

"Fairweather Purchase"

The old deeds refer frequently to the Fairweather purchase, but as there is no deed on record in Kent of this property a search was made through the old colonial records where it was found that in 1707 there was a large tract of land granted to Hon. Nathaniel Gold, Peter Burr and several others of Fairfleld for a township in what is now the southern portion of Kent and the northern portion of New Milford, and that they in turn sold a part or all of it to Robert Silliman, Richard Hubbell and Benjamin Fairweather of Fairfleld." That contained some 3,800 acres and was six miles in length from east to west and three hundred rods wide. When the owner died the large tract was divided between his heirs.

The Green Mountain Boys were a militia organization first established in the 1760s in the territory between the British provinces of New York and New Hampshire, known as the New Hampshire Grants (which later became the state ofVT). Headed by Ethan Allen and members of his extended family, they were instrumental in resisting New York's attempts to control the territory, over which it had won de jure control in a territorial dispute with New Hampshire.

When these disputes led to the formation of the VT Republic in 1777, the Green Mountain Boys became the state militia. Some companies served in the American Revolutionary War, including notably when the Green Mountain Boys led by Ethan Allen captured fort Ticonderoga on Lake Champlain on May 10, 1775; the invasion of Canada in 1775; and the battles at Hubbardton and Bennington in 1777.

Following VT's admission to the Union in 1791, the original organization essentially disbanded. The Green Mountain Boys mustered again during the War of 1812, the Civil War, and the Spanish-American War. Today it is the informal name of the VT National Guard which comprises both the Army and Air National Guards.

Historical unit

The original Green Mountain Boys were a militia organized in what is now southwestern VT in the decade prior to theAmerican Revolutionary War. They comprised settlers and land speculators who held New Hampshire titles to lands between the CT River and Lake Champlain, an area then known as the New Hampshire Grants, that is now modern VT. New York was given legal control of the area by a decision of the British crown and refused to respect the New Hampshire titles and town charters. Although a few towns with New York land titles, notably Brattleboro on the CT River, supported the change, the vast majority of the settlers in the sparsely populated frontier region rejected the authority of New York.

With several hundred members, the Green Mountain Boys effectively controlled the area where New Hampshire grants had been issued. They were led by Ethan Allen, his brother Ira Allen, and their cousins Seth Warner and Remember Baker. They were based at the Catamount Tavern in Bennington. By the 1770s, the Green Mountain Boys had become an armed military force and de facto government that prevented New York from exercising its authority in the northeast portion of theProvince of New York. New York authorities had standing warrants for the arrest of the leaders of the rebellious VTers, but were unable to exercise them. New York surveyors and other officials attempting to exercise their authority were prevented from doing so and in some cases were severely beaten, and settlers arriving to clear and work land under New York–issued grants were forced off their land, and sometimes had their possessions destroyed. At the same time, New York sought to extend its authority over the territory. During an event once known as the Westminster massacre, anti-Yorkers occupied the courthouse in Westminster to prevent a New York judge from holding court, and two men were killed in the ensuing standoff. Ethan Allen then went to Westminster with a band of Boys, and organized a convention calling for the territory's independence from New York.

When the American Revolutionary War started in 1775, Ethan Allen and a troop of his men, along with CT ColonelBenedict Arnold, marched up to Lake Champlain and captured the strategically important military posts at Fort TiconderogaCrown Point, and Fort George, all in New York. The Boys also briefly held St. John's in Québec, but retreated on word of arriving British regulars. The Green Mountain Boys later formed the basis of the VT militia that selected Seth Warner as its leader. Some of the Green Mountain Boys preferred to stick with Ethan Allen and were captured along with Allen in August 1775 in a bungled attempt to capture the city of Montreal. Some members of this unit wereCongressman Matthew Lyon and Lieutenant Benjamin Tucker. Benjamin Tucker joined the British Military during his capture, because of this his name was rebuked by Ethan Allen and his men.[citation needed]

VT eventually declared itself an independent nation in January 1777, and organized a government based in Windsor. The army of the VT Republic was based upon the Green Mountain Boys. Although VT initially supported the American Revolutionary War and sent troops to fight John Burgoyne's British invasion from Quebec in battles at Hubbardton and Bennington in 1777, VT eventually adopted a more neutral stance and became a haven for desertersfrom both the British and colonial armies. George Washington, who had more than sufficient difficulties with the British, brushed off Congressional demands that he subdue VT. During the Haldimand Affair some members of the Green Mountain Boys became involved in secret negotiations with British officials about restoring the Crown's rule over the territory.

The VT Army version of the Green Mountain Boys faded away after VT joined the United States as the 14th U.S. state in 1791, although the Green Mountain Boys mustered for the War of 1812The Civil War, the Spanish-American War, and following World War I as the VT National Guard.


The Flag of the Green Mountain Boys: the green represents the Green Mountains of VT where the militia hails, and the 13 stars in the field of blue represents the 13 American colonies.

David Ives of Goshen was an officer - a First Lieutenant of the Green Mountain Boys. He b. 15 Jun 1740 Wallingford, CT s/o Benjamin Ives Sgt. & Hannah Moss. David m.Eunice GILLET. He is probably the David Ives "of Goshen" who "lays out" Fairfield VT ~ 1766 for many residents of Fairfield and New Fairfield CT. This includes Northrops, Bradleys and Wakemans. There is no record that names him as a surveyor. It is probably safe to speculate he was good in the wilderness. I susoect the David Ives listing 1757 is this David. He would have been 16-17. He served in Captain Solomon Buel's company of Litchfield, Ct. "On ye alarm for relief of Fort Willam Henry (Lake George) August, 1757 for 17 days". "In one of the most notorious incidents of the French and Indian War, Montcalm's Indian allies violated the agreed terms of surrender and attacked the British column, which had been deprived of ammunition, as it left the fort. They killed and scalped a significant number of soldiers, took as captives women, children, servants, and slaves, and slaughtered sick and wounded prisoners." Wikipedia


Given the placement of Lake George and period comments about the lines of supply, it should be no surprise that many veterans of the wars became familiat with areas of Vermont, New York and Pennsylvania.

Although not that close to Fairfield, VT (B), Lake George (A) is less than 50 miles from Castleton and just over 50 miles from Rutland, VT.

Record show David served during the Revolution. Later records show him in New Brunswick Canada. Stories differ on how that came to make that move.

The Green Mountain Boys, headed by Ethan Allen and members of his extended family, were a militia organization first established in the 1760s in the territory between the British provinces of New York and New Hampshire, (aka the New Hampshire Grants which later became the state of Vermont). The Green Mountain Boys were instrumental in resisting New York's attempts to control the territory.

During the Revolution some companies of the Green Mountain Boys, led by Ethan Allen, gained further recognition when they captured Fort Ticonderoga on Lake Champlain ( May 10, 1775) during the invasion of Canada ( 1775);and the battles at Hubbardton and Bennington  (1777).
