Hartland
Town Clerk:
P.O
Box 349 - Hartland, VT 05048
Please
consider Hartland Historical Society
rather
than the town clerk office for your genealogy questions.
Hartland
was actually chartered under the name of Hertford on July 10, 1761 by Governor
Bennington Wentworth of New Hampshire to Samuel Hunt and his associates.
On June 15, 1782 the town name was changed to Waterford but two days later
the name was changed to Hartland. The town of Hartland has three villages
called Hartland Three Corners, Hartland Four Corners and North Hartland.
Part of the boundary was lost during these changes, found and recorded
later required the original charter to re-record this mistake on the back
of the original charter as found by Gary A. Lull in its archive vault.
I have recorded this error on the net for your review under Hartland Historical
Society Web page.
It
was recorded that the first settler of Hartland was Timothy Lull who arrived
from Dummerson in May, 1763. He would remain in Hartland for the rest of
his life where he died at the age of 81. He would raise 12 children and
his son Timothy Lull Jr. was the first male child born in Hartland in December
of 1764.
The
first town meeting took place on March 11, 1767 and Oliver Willard was
chosen moderator and supervisor; Capt. Zadock Wright and Lt. Joel Matthews,
assessors; Timothy Lull, treasurer; Ensign Laiton and Lt. Joel Mathews,
overseers of highways; Oliver Willard and Joseph Harwood, overseers of
poor; Nathan Call, collector; Capt. Zadock Wright, Timothy Lull, Ebenezer
Call and Joel Matthews, constables.
At
a town meeting on March 10, 1778, Dr. Paul Spooner was chosen moderator
and town clerk; Lt. Jonathan Burk, Ensign Daniel Spooner and Zebulon Lee,
selectman; Capt. Aaron Willard, constable; Capt Aaron Willard, Dr. Paul
Spooner and Robert Morrison, assessors.

Hartland
in the American Revolution
On
March 24, 1778 William Gallup was made commissioner of confiscated lands.
The lands that were confiscated belong to those people who had remained
loyal to England during the war, commonly known as Tories. Gallup appointed
Matthias Rust and Charles Spaulding appraisers, to conduct sales. They
issued the following report: "We, the subscribers, being appointed by William
Gallup, of Hartland, in the State of Vermont, to appraise certain lots,
or parcels, of land belonging to Whitehead Hicks, (and gone over to the
enemy,) One lot, the property of Sturtevant, No. 6, second range, 300 acres,
price 6 shillings per acre, purchased by John Sumner and Nehemiah Liscomb."
Whitehead Hicks, the mayor of New York, lost about 1,422 acres and the
person called Sturtevant about 1,488 acres. From this sale Captain Gallup
paid into the treasury more than 1,118 pounds.

Note:
During
my 44 years on genealogy / researching surnames, my research located about
38 names of men and women who came to America, in Ipswich, Massachusetts.
Of these many were never recorded as Pilgrims. If you can’t
find your people listed in fleet logs, but have traced them as far back
as very early 1600’s. Chances are they might be located here, or in Ipswich
as fishermen / planters. The fishermen people were aboard ships that came
to Ipswich Massachusetts, in the years from 1601 to 1635. Of these 38 people
a great many were never
recorded in the Plymouth
Fleets or the Sir Jonathan Winthrop 27 fleets from England or
any other such type ships, to America, with exception their own, or as
fisherman/planters.
Of course of these, some accepted the requirement
to pay
dues to be part of the town organized citizens. This act of acceptation
placed them within the town jurisdiction, as registered freemen.
The
people were called fisherman/planters of English,
Dutch, French, Spanish and Portugal
descendents as fishermen from all over the world called by those who settled
after them as, “Fishermen/Planters.”
They stayed to fish the New England Coastal waters first by ship and later
on land. To prevent others from stealing their fishing claims, they built
fishing structures and homes, speeding up their fishing ability to make
money faster. They were under Sir
Ferdinando Gorges at first, but later on revised with John Endicott
with the Plymouth and Dorchester Act passed by the King of England.
They stayed as fisherman - planters with their claims and homes, until
other settlers who came later to Ipswich. By 1623 they had established
homes or shelters to live in, 12 years before Jonathan Winthrop established
the township of Ipswich in 1635.
The
people were led here to Ipswich, Massachusetts by Sir
Ferdinando Gorges in 1601 in his ship called “The
Gorges,” by his son Robert Gorges. Captain Robert Gorges brought
to Ipswich in 1601 a man called, Sir William Jeffrey’s. Who also had a
claim from the King of England? Here is where he stepped of the ship and
made his claims of both banks of the river at locations bounded on the
North and South of what is known as Little Neck in Ipswich, Mass. Many
of these surnames located here in Hartland, and Weathersfield, are traceable
back to Ipswich. Examples: Lull, also spelled
as Llull, Llully, Lully, Lulie, LuLu, misspelled as Tully, sometimes as
Hull, Full, Null, Low and Lowe. With exception that the Low name seemed
to have its own identity as a surname, in Ipswich.
The fishermen
/ planters, as
surnames found were; Tuttle, Heard, Knowlton, Brown, Cogswell, Perkins,
Lord, Waite, Burnham, Gardner, Mason, Sargent, Sawyer, Perkins, Gilbert,
Tenney, Heardy, Smith, Emerson, Levett, Baker, Wise, Waters, Sutton, Waters,
Lull, Furber, Blaidwell, Hook, Haines, Clark, Coles, Simpson, Howlett,
Griggs, Gage, Lakeman, Gosmald, and Thorndike.
