========
In 1973-1976 I served as the minister of the Congregational church in Orwell.
The book entitled, A History of the Town of Orwell, Vermont, compiled by Doris Bishop, published by The Town of Orwell in 1963 shows:
[p. 13] that 71 men took the Freeman's Oath and the Oath of Allegiance, apparently on 12 Dec 1787 when the town was organized [it had been chartered in
1763]. On the list there appears: Amos Palmer
[pp. 34-37] A Baptist church was founded in Orwell in 1787. After difficulties in 1843--perhaps affected by the Millerite movement--it finally disbanded
sometime after 1850. No records available after 1852. [I lived in Orwell, but never saw where this church had been, to my recollection.]
A 1792 list of resident members of the Baptist church in Orwell includes the following:
Azariah Palmer, James Noble, Amos Palmer, Russell Noble, Ann Noble, Lucy Palmer, Cynthia Palmer, Electa Noble, Joanna Palmer.

Quaker records for Collins MM show family removed from Ferrisburg, Addison, VT MM dated 27 Nov 1828 Exact quote:

NOTE: Nathaniel Austin Sr. died 23 Oct 1838. Nathaniel Jr. arrives in Collins, NY about 1 month later. He may have been the caregiver for Nathaniel Sr. Since 3 of his siblings had left VT years earlier. The one that is not accounted for is Andrew. The Nathaniel Austin Sr will needs to be researched.
