Bennington MARSH, William Vermont Historical Magazine, No. XI, October 1867, p 184 (extracted from a section on the history of Dorset, Bennington County, Vermont) William MARSH came into town [Dorset, Bennington County, Vermont] just previous to the Revolutionary War. He adhered to the royal cause and was obliged to flee to Canada, leaving his family behind. Mrs. MARSH, wishing to secure some of her more valuable goods, filled her brass kettle with her pewter ware and silver spoons, and sunk them in a pond near her dwelling. The pond, however, so far as the recovery of her treasures were concerned, proved bottomless. Submitted by Cathy Kubly
