These Marriage Records were found in the unpublished research material gathered by the late Lawrence Chamberlain who planned to write a Civil War novel based on facts. He gathered much valuable material from many old Records and people that are no longer with us.
Mr. Chamberlain died before his mission was accomplished but his unpublished papers dealing with many Rutland and Addison Co. towns are at the Brandon, VT library.
