For the record, there was a legitimate inquiry about where Peter Paddleford was born. Just wanted to record (in sand!) a bit of research in case another inquirer wanted to know:

"Capt." Philip Paddleford was born in Enfield. He married in Enfield Ruth Bullock in 1778. He had no children when he moved to Lyman (now Monroe) in 1779. At the time of the 1790 census, he had five children, the fifth of which was Peter born 1785, presumably born in Lyman/Monroe.

The 1790 census agrees with this count except there is one more adult male that doesn't match known records. A helper? A relative living with them? But the kids match. So, most likely Peter was born in Monroe/Lyman. I think he lived in Littleton. He's buried there. So he looked north (as did most of Monroe), not south. Better roads? Closer?

So can we prove that he wasn't born in Enfield? No. But I don't think the records show that.Student7 13:06, 3 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

"Peter Paddleford" was rm for not having an article"

" Peter Paddleford, inventor of the wooden Paddleford Truss for covered bridges. Many of his original bridges still stand."Vermont Bridges". The Paddleford Truss. Retrieved 2007-01-02. He was the builder of the "third Lyman Bridge" from Monroe to McIndoes, Vermont, in 1833, after the 1826 floods had taken out all bridges on the Connecticut River. It was a covered bridge of pine, over 300 feet (91 m) long, lasted over 96 years and was one of the oldest on the river.(ref)Johnson, p. 146(end ref) Student7 (talk) 18:12, 24 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

There's some interesting new information in the History section. I'd like to see some more background, however. Specifically, where were the Deer Islands? And who was Colonel Hurd? Thanks. It's a good start. Ken Gallager 14:41, 3 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for the questions. The "Hurd" was there before I saw the site. I looked it up and filled it in as best I could. I was able to research the Deer Islands. I could not find the latter on the web at all!Student7 21:34, 3 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]
