"Vermont, Town Clerk, Vital and Town Records, 1732-2005," images, <i>FamilySearch</i>
(https://familysearch.org/pal:/MM9.3.1/TH-1961-27948-6744-55?cc=1987653 : accessed 9 November 2015), Windsor > Hartland > Births, marriages, deaths, town records 1810-1871 vol 3-4 > image 333 of 424; town clerk offices, Vermont.
While perusing the images in this wonderful database found on Family Search, I found many pages of treasures. Birth, marriage and death records. The birth records above list the wife's name with the husband.
I knew about Fanny as she is my 4th great-grandmother. The second wife and all those other children...what a nice surprise to find. In this record, I also realized that Fannie died in childbirth with her son, Thomas as she died the day he was born.
The lesson is--don't be shy about looking through the browseable records found on Family Search. They contain some wonderful records with all sorts of lovely finds...
I also found the maiden name of the 2nd wife later in the files when the marriage records showed up.
Have fun treasure hunting!
