Church Records (1867 -1868) Waitsfield, Washington co, Vt from Dec. 1860 to October, 1867; Woodstock, Windsor Co, Vt from Dec. 1867 to Feb. 1874; Winchester, Miuddlesex Co, Mass. from March 1874 to July 1878, and Bellows Falls, Windham Co, Vt from June 1879 to 1893 Hi again, Here are some records of deaths in Waitsfield, Washington Co, Vermont, from 1862 through 1867. Again, I would like to stress that these are probably not any kind of official record, just something my ancestor wanted to keep track of. If any of you with knowledge of this town during this time period can make any corrections for me, please let me know, his handwriting was really bad, and I'm having a little trouble figuring out some of the names.
