     Abigail and Daniel reportedly moved first to Burlington, Vermont, then, about 1812, to Louisville, New YorkG, in the area which become Norfolk when that town was formed in 1823.¹¹ (See map.) She was probably the female over age 45 listed in the household of her husband, Daniel, in the 1820 Federal Census of Louisville, St. Lawrence Co., New YorkG.¹² They were apparently living near her sister Rosanna and her husband, Divan Berry Rich, as he is listed on the following line in the census record.¹³

     In early 1800 Wealthy and Elisha moved to Templeton, MassachusettsG, where he accepted the position of pastor.¹¹ She was probably the female age 26 to 44 listed in the household of her husband, Elisha, in the 1800 Federal Census of Royalston, Worcester Co., MassachusettsG.¹² She was probably one of the two females age 26 to 45 listed in the household of her husband in the 1810 Federal Census of Templeton, Worcester Co., MassachusettsG.¹³
      In Feb 1816 the family moved to Hinsdale, New HampshireG, where Elisha served the local congregation for several years. He then took several appointments from the Massachusetts Baptist Missionary Society to travel to the region west of Lake Champlain in the state of New York to serve as a missionary. In his later years he preached from time to time at various churches in the areas he had served, including at Hinsdale.¹⁴
     She was probably the female over age 45 listed in the household of her husband in the 1820 Federal Census of Hinsdale, Cheshire Co., New HampshireG.¹⁵ She was probably the female age 50 to 60 listed in the household of her husband, Elisha, in the 1830 Federal Census of Hinsdale, Cheshire Co., New HampshireG.¹⁶

Gideon Cobb Lathrop was born on 14 Oct 1782 in Pawlet, VermontG.^4,5,6 He was probably one of the nine males under age 16 listed in the household of his father, Thomas Lathrop, in the 1790 Federal Census of Wells, Rutland Co., VermontG.¹¹ He was probably one of the two males age 16 to 25 listed in the household of his father in the 1800 Federal Census of Shelburne, Chittenden Co., VermontG.¹²
     Gideon married Catherine Sproat.⁷ He was probably the male age 16 to 26 listed in the household of his uncle, Col. Stephen Pearl, in the 1810 Federal Census of Burlington, Chittenden Co., VermontG.¹³
     Gideon was one of the original subscribers to the First Congregational Society, Unitarian of Burlington, VermontG, when it was formed in 1810.¹⁴
     Gideon and his twin brother Stephen became involved in nasty dispute with their uncle, Col. Stephen Pearl, that became very public in Aug 1811. It appears that on 9 Jun 1809 the uncle gave a parcel of land in BurlingtonG to the younger Stephen, in exchange for a bond that he would live with his uncle and manage his business affairs for the life of the uncle and his wife. According to the brothers' account, in Jul 1810 (two months before Stephen's marriage), Stephen asked Gideon to take his place in the arrangement. Gideon agreed, and by his account the aunt and uncle did as well, and he then moved in with them while Stephen moved to the property Gideon had agreed to convey to him. Further, he said, the uncle gave him Stephen's bond to take to one George Robinson, Esq., to have a new bond drawn up for Gideon to execute as a replacement. But the new bond did not appear, and the old one was returned to the uncle.¹⁵
     Evidently the uncle had a change of heart, after Gideon refused to join the Washington Benevolent Society, Gideon later said. On 14 Aug 1811 the uncle circulated a statement to members of the community contending that he had never authorized Gideon to take the bond and replace it with one of his own. Rather, he said, Gideon asked to see the bond and read it, and was supposed to return it. In response to his uncle's "injury to my reputation" Gideon had affidavits by him and his brother, telling their version of the story, along with his uncle's statement, published in the local newspaper on 22 Aug 1811.¹⁶
     The matter was evidently not peacefully resolved. After the uncle's death, Gideon won a judgment before the Vermont Supreme Court directing the executrix of the estate to pay him $560 plus interest for the return of the land the elder Stephen had deeded, "subject to certain agreements," to the younger Stephen, who had deeded them to Gideon. The parcel was said to be worth more than that, and other land was sold to raise the money.¹⁷
     Apparently a second transaction was also involved in the dispute. On the same date as the above transaction, the elder Stephen sold the younger Stephen two parcels for $2,000. They were one-fourth of lot no. 28 in BurlingtonG, where the Pearl's house and barn were located, and one-fourth of lot no. 22, a 100-acre lot. On 2 Mar 1811, just before the exchange of published accounts, young Stephen deeded these lands to his brother Gideon. But apparently the actual boundaries of the two parcels had not been defined, and the parties were unable to agree on them. Gideon petitioned the Court to set of his portion of the two lots at its Jan 1812 term, and commissioners were appointed to divide the two lots at the Jan 1813 term. But the case was continued several times, until after Col. Stephen's death, when his widow and administrix became involved, and the commissioners' report was finally approved in the Dec 1819 term.¹⁸
     Gideon was a private in Judson's 1st regiment and as a corporal in William's 4th regiment, Vermont militia, in the War of 1812.¹⁹ The administrator declared the estate insolvent, so on 23 Jun 1837 the court appointed commissioners to receive claims against it. After posting public notices in Burlington, Shelburne, Colchester, and Williston, and in the newspaper, they received claims from nine men totaling $71.90, they reported to the court 17 Jan 1838. They included a note due Henry Mayo, the administrator, for $16.36, and $19.51 due on account to John's brother Gideon.²⁰
     He appeared on the 1850 Federal Census of Burlington, Chittenden Co., VermontG, enumerated 14 Aug 1850, in the household of Simon Hutchins, a teamster, and Sarah, apparently his wife, and their children Lucy and Owin. Sarah may well have been Gideon's daughter.²¹
     He was a tanner by trade.^22,23
     Gideon died on 15 Feb 1854 in Burlington, VermontG, at age 71.^9,10 He was buried in Shelburne Road Cemetery, South Burlington, Chittenden Co., VermontG.⁸
