*The town of Salisbury claim Judge Painter as their Representative in 1787, in consequence of a new running of town lines, taking his house unexpectedly, two or three rods south of the south line of Middlebury, and the journals of that year support their claim ; but I have not yet learned that they claim him in 1786,although living in the same house both years. Nor have I been informed of their laying any claim to Thomas Sawyer who represented Leicester in 1787, 8 and 9, although he resided on the disput- ed territory between the two towns, and on that
part which is now Salisbury village.
The foregoing pages contain all the Repre- sentatives previous to the year 1788, that are to be found. . The journals of March, 1778, and of October, 1786, do not contain a catalogue of the members, but I think I have both nearly accu- rale.
The remainder will be arranged by counties alphabetically, and will come as even as any mode without dividing counties. By the figures before the towns, the reader will be enabled to follow any town through the work to 1850.

HON. HENRY OLIN
Came into Leicester at an early day. and from his large dimensions and rather awkward habits, the people were not at first much prepos- sessed in his favor. But being of a strong mind and full of wit and anecdote, prejudices began to wear away, and he was chosen a Representa- tive in 1799 and continued to be chosen for twenty-two out of twenty-six years. He was two years a member of the Council, and three years Lieutenant Governor, and one short ses- sion was a member of Congress to supply the place of the Hon. Charles Rich, deceased. He was one of the Assistant Judges of the County Court for eight years, and Chief Judge fifteen years in succession from 1801 10 1824.
When he first began legislation it was a new business to him, and the sound of his own voice would sometimes embarrass him in that body of talented men. An anecdote is related of him as follows: He arose from his seat and began " Mr. Speaker. I rise for information," and halted. Upon which unother member arose and said: "Mr. Speaker I very much rejoice that the gentleinan should arise with such a com- mendable object, for no man needs it more." *Speakers in Italics.

He had among his townsmen an old gentleman that had taken a dislike to the Judge, but being politically agreed, he would support the Judge for office. On one occasion he came into meet- ing while the ballotting was going on,-pushed himself through the crowd to the box and spoke out in a loud voice, " here Mr. Constable is a vote for Judge Olin, but I hope God will forgive me." During his services on the bench he had given some offence to one of the young attornies, that has since disappointed many of his enemies. A person informed the Judge that this attorney was going to the Legislature to prevent him from being re-appointed. Well, said the Judge, I will tell the company a story. When I first came into Leicester, I built a log but and began cut- ting down the forest east of it which enabled me to see the sun and moon as they rose, earlier than usual. I had a little dog, and he seeing the moon lower down than he had before, and shining through the trees concluded some mis- chief was on foot, and began to bark at the moon, and kept at it, and paused. Well, says one, " what next ?" "Why, I could not discover that it had any effect whatever on the moon, that kept on its course the same as if the dog had been silent, but I discovered the little dog was

When the Judge took his seat in Congress in Dec., 1824, the weather was unpleasant and very different from what he was accustomed to see, and having but a short time to stay, his brother members were not very anxious for an acquaint- ance, and he was lonely. One of the members in conversation with him, wished to know how he liked Washington as compared with Vermont. The Judge said he liked some things in Wash- ington very well, but he preferred Vermont in many respects, and one in particular, which is, here you have white butter and yellow girls, and in Vermont we have yellow butter and white girls.
The Judge removed to Salisbury in the spring of 1837, where he died the same year, aged about 70 years.
HON. SAMUEL C. CRAFTS
Is a son of Col. Ebenezer Crafts, who began the first settlement of Craftsbury in 1788, though he did not remove his family there till February, 1791, but was there himself and experienced many of the hardships incident to a life in the wilderness, having to draw the female part of his family, with otherswho came with him,from Cabot, 18 miles, on hand sleds with snow shoes, and snow four feet deep. The town was organ- ized in March, 1792, and Samuel C. Crafts was the first Town Clerk, which office he held, by an- nual elections.till March, 1829, in which Joseph Scott (then Jun., was elected and has held it till Feb., 1851.) Samuel C. Crafts was born at Woodstock, in the county of Windham, S'ate of Connecticut, on the 6th day of October, A. D. 1768. He graduated at Harvard University, Massachusetts, in July, 1790; and in the winter
