Answer 10

Three of my ancestors tried to form a community that stretched across the Connecticut River, to include parts of Hanover, New Hampshire, and parts of Windsor, Vermont.  A Dartmouth College professor named Beza. Woodward resigned his post to help create this community.  Dr. Woodward's letter to George Washington, on behalf of the town of Dresden, can be found here  https://www.loc.gov/resource/mgw4.070_0282_0283/?sp=1; from the Library of Congress.  This weekend, I discovered an artifact from Vermont's first newspaper, called the "Mercury", can be found at a museum in Bennington, Vermont.  I've found another researcher who is interested in this community.

My question:  how can I add this community which existed between two or three states (New York wanted in, as well!) to Wiki?  Oops, I mean:  did this cheer you up?

Kitty, you are a wonderful, insightful, and inspiring researcher -- from a fan!

Remember, not everybody can be a researcher!  As Adrian Monk (who is a fictional character with unknown pedigree) has said several times, "It's a gift and a curse!"

LOL!
