Author: "Memories of the Early Days in the Town of Troy, Vermont" by Anne Huckins Butterfield, 1977, page 1

"The settlement of the Town began about 1796-7 when several men from Peacham, VT,
among them Captain Moses ELKINS and a brother, Josiah ELKINS, came to explore the
country. They all agreed to come back to settle. Captain Moses ELKINS and a young
son did come, followed by his wife and baby on horseback, led by a hired man.
they made a camp in Potton, Quebec, [today part of Troy, VT] but on the approach of
winter they went [over Jay Peak] to Richford, VT, to stay during that time."
