I am looking for information regarding all the surnames, but at this time particularly want to learn more about:
NOAH ALLEN, who was in Goshen, Vt by 1809 and died there 5/20/1844. He had six sons and at least one daughter;
AMOS BOYNTON, died in Ludlow, Vt about 1860 and who was father to Ziba, born 5/23/1801 and grandfather to Napoleon, born 2/4/1825.
DANIEL ROSE, married Achsah Ball who was born 6/15/1725 in Springfield, Hampden, Ma and died 4/30/1818. They had at least one child: Elizabeth Rose, b. 8/1/1760 Granville, Ma and died 7/24/1822 in Sudbury, Vt.
