Many families left Massachusetts and Conneticut to settle new land in Vermont (also parts then known as part of New York) shortly after the Revolutionary War. Many of these families were allied in England, then Massachusetts, Conneticut, and would be again on the Vermont frontier.
Guildord, Windham County: A schedule of the inhabitants is extant, dated May 11, 1772, in which the names of the heads of families are recorded, which gives 586 souls.-- By the year 1791, it had increased to 2542, or about one fifteen hundredth part of the then population of the United States. Original 54 proprietors.
