SOME SHAFTSBURY, BENNINGTON CO., VERMONT BIRTHS, 1877, 1878, 1879 These
records were photocopied for me on a trip to Bennington Co., Vermont, in
the Town Clerks Office of Shaftsbury, back in 1976.  These are only the
pages to which referred to my ancestors, the HARRIS and CHURCH families.
At the time, they photocopied a whole page if you wanted a printout of one
of your ancestors, so consequently, I got a page of 40+ different Births.
Some of the writing is hard to read but I copied it as it looks.
