casting nine votes, being recorded in the n^^tive. The counties opposing admission were New York, Albany and Richmond, and their opposition is said to have been due to the fact that many of their citizens held New York titles to lands in the possession of the Green Mountain Boys.

This list was made up as follows: Field officers, Ethan Allen, Seth Warner ; Captains, Remember Baker, Robert Cochran, Michael Veal (Micah Vail), Peleg Sutherling (Sunderland), Gideon Warren, Wait Hopkins, Heman Allen; Adjutant, Levi Allen; Commissary, Elijah Bab- cock; Doctor and Surveyor, Jonas Fay; First Lieu- tenants, Ira Allen, John Grant, Ebenezer Allen, David

SIXTH GENERATiON -- JARED TOZER
Birth:Â 4 Apr 1764, Lyme, New London, CT
Death:Â 22 Nov 1850, Southesk, Northumberland, New Brunswick
In 1779, at age 15, Jared enlisted in Zebulon Butler's Connecticut regiment of the revolutionary army.
In 1784, Jared married Sarah Eunice Ives, b. Apr 4, 1764, daughter of Capt, David Ives. In 1789, Jared moved to the Miramichi region of New Brunswick.Capt. Ives fought in the famed "Green Mountain Boys" and was part of the famed seige of Fort Ticonderoga, along with one or more Toziers. However, when ordered to burn his farm and crops ahead of the advance of Burgoyne's British force, Ives failed to burn the farm and subsequently was forced to sell the crops to the British army. As a result, Ives farm and property was confiscated after the war by the new American government, and he was forced into exile in British Canada. Jared Tozier may have followed the Ives family to New Brunswick. Jared returned to Connecticut at age 71 to claim his Revolutionary War pension.

As a note of historical irony, one of Capt. David Ives descendants, David Ives Tozier, either a son or grandson of our ancestor, Jared Tozier, served in the Maine cavalry and was mortally wounded at the battle of Five Forks, VA, during the Civil War. \\http://boards.ancestry.com/thread.aspx?mv=flat&m=8&p...

I am researching Ives-- especially those who move to Litchfield County and to Vermont. I have screenshots for some of these documents. Please reply

Thank you for the information. I would like to share the scanned appeal letter signed by David Ives in August 1777 from the CT State Library. (I had trouble attaching it here)

Is "Shoreham in the County of Charlotte... State of new York" is this now part of Vermont? Is it near Fairfield, Vermont?

I'm very interested in NY/Vermont land records of 1500 acres of land owned/mortgaged by David Ives and forfeited for his loyalist services.

I'm very interested in the your account of "Green Mountain Boys" in possession of New York land

"Probably the David Ives who “lays out” Faifield, VT."

Would like more information about the above. Approximately what year would David Ives have laid out "Faifield." I assume this would be Fairfield?

Letter from NY Washington County archives -- no land records for David Ives late 1700 time period. Archivist recommends trying state of New York or Vermont records.

I was hoping to find the location of David Ives property near "Shoreham County of Charlotte" New York...now called Washington County in New York, but the area is now in Vermont.
