Crosier-61 and Crosier-435 appear to represent the same person because: Rufus Crosier is my direct ancestor (great great Grandfather). I have visited the house that he built and lived in and have researched original documents in the town of Halifx, Vermont where he was born and where he died. I also have documentation from the Halifax Historical Society and the History of Halifax, Volume 1, attesting to these changes. Crosier 435 is more complete regarding line of matrilineal and patrilineal ancestry as well as siblings.
