Hi,
>From Hemenway's Vermont Historical Gazetteer:
Tinmouth, Vermont Rutland County
pg. 1141 Vol. 3
By Hon. O. Noble
Tinmouth was chartered 6 miles square. A part was taken off in forming
Middletown, and a part set to Wallingford, leaving but about two-thirds of
their original town. A number of families came simultaneously into the town,
the most of them from Salisbury, CT. Among them were Charles Brewster,
Solomon Bingham, John Spafford, John McNeal, John Trim, Samuel Chipman,
James Adams and Benjamin Chandler. The town was not organized until Mar. 8,
1774. Before that time there were quite a large number of inhabitants
scattered over the town in log cabins. Among them were Cephas Smith, Bethuel
Chittenden, Neri Cramton, and Stephen Rice. At the first town meeting John
McNeal was moderator; Charles Brewster was elected clerk, and these two with
James Adams were chosen selectmen. It does not appear that any other town
officers were appointed. About this time Ebenezer Allen and Stephen Royce
came into town. These two last named were appointed delegates from Tinmouth
to the first convention that was assembled to declare the new Hampshire
Grants an independent State. They met at Chphas Kent's, in Dorset, July,
1774. The gentleman above named is in the Vermont State Papers called Major
Thomas Rice. It should have been Major Stephen Royce.
Ebenzer Allen and Charles Brewster were delegates to the Convention that
assembled at Windsor, July, 1777, and adopted the Constitution of Vermont.
Before this time, or within a year or who after, Elihu Clark, Jonathan Bell,
Thomas Porter, Obadiah Noble, Samuel Mattocks and Ebenezer Marvin moved into
town.
