Family History

The Main Road Through Town
McIndoe Falls Library
On Monday Scott and I drove up to Vermont.  He received a great packet of information from his brother Phil about the Duncan side of his family line.  Scott's great-great-great grandfather was John Duncan who married his bride Betsy Putnam in Langdon, New Hampshire in 1805.  They settled in the McIndoe Falls area which is a township of Barnet, Vermont.  We knew that we wouldn't be able to see a lot because everything is covered in snow but we wanted to just check out the area.  It was beautiful!  I took a few pictures but we will be going back to look around more and see if the local library can find information about where their actual homestead may have been.  We ate lunch in Barnet, a good sized town for Vermont or New Hampshire.  Can't wait to do some more exploring in the coming year.  John Duncans' father actually spent much of his life in Londonderry, NH just south of where we are, so we definitely need to keep visiting these wonderful places.  Thanks Phil for helping us get a little view of our wonderful ancestors!
