James Betton descendants of NH and VT
Trying to trace Betton families of NH and VT.JAMES BETTON, b c1728 Scotland came to America and married Elizabeth Dickey, dau of "Emigrant" Samuel Dickey of Londonderry, NH.James and Elizabeth are buried in "the old cemetery on the plain" in Windham, NH. The History of Windham in New Hampshire, by Morrison (1883)is my source for the Betton info I have.The son of James, JOHN BETTON,, was born 18 Oct 1771 in Windham, NH, and married Mary Spinney, date unk.He died 22 June 1845 in Danbury, NH.
John Betton and Mary "Polly" Spinney had son JAMES STACY BETTON, b 1 July 1799 in Windham, NH, married, date unk, Mary Weatherspoon, and at some point went to Vermont [where?] where he died about 1833.There is a James Betton in Cabot, Caledonia county, VT on the 1830 census.Is this him?The Morrison book says James Stacy Betton had three daughters: Sophia C, ALMIRA D.,and Roxanna, who married Dr. Jabez Fisher and resided in Fitchburg, MA.Almira married Calvin Page Farnsworth [info from the Farnsworth Memorial] and they had a daughter, EMILY FRANCES, who was orphaned young and was raised by her aunt and uncle Fisher in Fitchburg until she was adopted about the age of 10 or 12 by Albert N. Swain of Bellows Falls, VT.Would love to find out more about this line.
