I wouldn't dream of deleting this comment. I wish more people would point out errors or provide alternate viewpoints. I checked a map for the locations of Alburg, Grand Isle Co., Vermont; Alburg, Franklin Co., New York; and Island Pond, Essex Co., Vermont (the maps spell the names of the towns "Alburg" rather than "Alburgh"). Based on the facts that Arnold Gibson and Hattie Fadden married in Sheldon, Franklin Co., Vermont and raised their family in Fairfield, Franklin Co., Vermont, the closest location for Arnold's birth would be Alburg, Grand Isle Co., Vermont. The other two towns are quite some distance from any location where the family ever lived. I'll correct my files to reflect the fact that Arnold was probably born in Alburg, Grand Isle Co., Vermont. The Alburg location was probably provided by Arnold himself in his Marriage Record. I have no idea who provided the Island Pond location mentioned in Arnold's Death Certificate. Also, since Arnold's Marriage Record in Vermont does not specify the state, I should have assumed the state was Vermont, not New York. Thanks so much for your help! Thank you so much, Barbara!

The county is Grand Isle, it is next to New York and borders Canada. There is a wonderful book, Genealogist's Handbook for New England Research edited by Marcia D. Melnyk that covers the 6 states, and lists all the towns with counties for each state. It is 3 feet from where I sit, so it was very easy to check it out. Also, I have lines from Alburg. Steve, you can delete this comment if you wish. Barb It is FYI for you. Hi Steve,
