Here's information on Fairfield, CT from the Gazeteer

The land was obtained in 1763, but the first meeting held in 1774. This is where you find mention of David Ives.

The first meeting of the grantees was held at Fairfield, Ct., Feb. 16, 1774, at the house of Gershom BRADLEY, L. C. OSBORN, moderator, meeting adjourned 'till the 17th, at the house of John HUBBEL, same town -- Stephen HULL, moderator; John BANKS voted proprietors' clerk; "Samuel HUNGERFORD, Capt. Abraham GOULD and Daniel Smith, committee to manage the prudence affairs of the township, and warn meetings from time to time. Voted, John CAMPS, Hezekiah BRADLEY, John HUBBELl, Gershom BRADLEY to set up notifications. Voted, to proceed to survey and lay out the township." At a proprietors' meeting, April, 1774, "voted every proprietor pay Azariel WARD of Wellstown, and David IVES of Goshen, lawful money, on each single right, or give a quit-claim deed of one-eighth part of said right, to said WARD and IVES, for their trouble for laying out said township."

It is Fairfield, CT. Sorry for the typo.

Feel free to get in touch. I'm continuing to explore how the Ives and other Wallingford families moved around to Litchfield and them to various parts of Vermont -- with a few to New Hampshire and even Canada.

On your question about distances -- Fairfield VT is actually pretty close to Canada Some of the other Green Moutain Boys activities were apparently in the Rutland area -- not far from Lake George / Ticonderoga where some of them served.
