Hi Pat! Erin Mooney (my mom's cousin) told me you were doing all this. I think it's great and would love to compare notes with you. Basically I'm writing a senior thesis at Middlebury in the English/creative writing departments that's about Vermont, place, our family, and my understanding of where I'm from. That's what's lead me to do all this research. You're right, I mis-typed in the public posting about Rose Timberlin. I've been talking to mom and Beth about their grandmother Rose and aunts Mary and Georgiana a lot this fall--so fun to hear all the stories! I know Erin has talked about doing a geneology get-together in December. I'm certainly interested. Feel free to send me an email at
sharris31@gmail.com with any information you do have. My research has mostly been into the Timberlins, who arrived in North Pownal between 1870 and 1880 and worked in the mill. My biggest question at the moment--mostly about my direct line--is how and why they left Vermont for Schenectady. Presumably the mill dried up and GE was booming? I'd love to talk to you soon! Happy Thanksgiving!
