2023.00.216Scope and Content
This collection of papers, while beginning with Mary Mills Deyette, appears to be notes from a presentation as the first line reads: "It is our intent this evening to visit some town meetings past to see what was important to Shelburne voters." The bulk of the time range is from 1763 through about 1840.Context
This paper appears to have been researched from town records because of the detail of the information and references to meeting records. Topics include the start of town meetings, the civil war, sale of alcohol, livestock issues, Overseer of the Poor. A page on Mary Mills Deyette, at one time a Shelburne resident, is included but it is not know how she fits in to the town meeting presentation. ;It is a good reference for Shelburne history research.Lexicon
