• Notes

  There is this footnote to Gideon in Drapers to America "In reference to the descendants of Gideon Draper, the author desires to say, that they have become so widely scattered, and the majority are so indifferent to genealogical matters, that it has been with the utmost difficulty that any connecting lines could be established. The use so generally, in this branch, of the name of Gideon, has also tended to greatly confuse and delay the work, and it may be said that at least three times as much labor has been done to collect the following date as that devoted to any other branch of the family, and if there are errors, the reader will please blame those whose duty it was to supply the information, and who neglected to do so, although repeatedly urged." Posted by Elwyn D. Draper on December 11, 1998 at 23:05:34 to Draper GenForum Several children of Gideon Draper [18.] and Abigail Aldis ventured to VT. James [1294.]d. in Shaftsbury, VT in 1806. Nathan [1299.]and much of his family moved from Killingly CT to Shaftsbury as well. Gideon [1297.] had a son, William [1303.], who dabbled in real estate in Rupert VT in the 1770's. William's brother, David [1322.], had 2 sons who eventually moved from Erie Co., NY to Dunham, Lower Canada (Quebec), which is just across the border from VT.
