• Notes

  From the book "The history and map of Danby, Vermont" Rutland, Vt.: Printed by McLean & Robbins, 1869 "Samuel Harnden, from Wells, m. Esther Irish and settled at the Corners, where he kept a public house for several years. He was a boot and shoe maker and harness maker by trade, and subsequently removed to the Borough and worked at that business. He removed back to Wells, where he died. He is said to have been one of the best fiddlers in the State. We are told that he cured his wife of fits by fiddling, and was afterwards married. His children are Plym(n), now living in Lyons, Ohio, Rose, Joseph, drowned in Lake Erie; and Filena m. Seth P. Scott, of this town." From the same book > "On the 31st day of March, 1829, a town meeting was held at the Inn of Samuel Harnden, and David Youngs was moderator. Israel B. Richardson, Abraham Locke, Alvah Bull, Isaac Southwick and Andrus Eggleston, were appointed a superintending committee, for the inspection and examination of schools and teachers." "The population of the town in 1830, was thirteen hundred and sixty-two, showing a decrease of two hundred and forty-five in ten years. The annual town meeting for that year, was held at the Inn of Samuel Harnden, and Alexander Barrett was moderator."
