Just found out that in 1762 my gr gr gr---gandfather came to Vermont throught Canada was given 700 acres of land on the side of a mountain. He was a free black man not ever a slave. His son established a saw mill in the early 1800's and built a house on the hill (my grand parents live there until gramps died in 1968). The name of the road was N----- Hill Rd until the 70's then changed to Lincoln Hill Rd. This was all kept hush hush until this year. What ashame all my ancesters are well educated and well respected. I would like to know more about this man.
