Vermont Historical Magazine, No XI, October 1867, pp 806-807 [extracted from 
a section on the history of Hinesburg, Chittenden County, Vermont]

Edmund BOSTWICK came from New Milford [Litchfield County, Connecticut]; and 
with a large family of sons, mostly of adult age, settled here [Hinesburg, 
Chittenden County, Vermont] in 1788. The father is said to have been a man 
of peaceful and industrious habits and much respected. The mother is a woman 
of firm constitution, commanding aspect and great fortitude, having never 
known a sick day. One son, Ebenezer, was a soldier during the whole war of 
the Revolution, holding the post of orderly sergeant. In 1788 he prepared an 
establishment for making brown earthenware, which was worked for some time. 
Salmon also served in the war three years. He was here as a merchant about 
two years. The family left the town in 1805, for New Connecticut, now Ohio.
