Thompson (in his 1824 edition) says :- "The first civilized estab- lishment in Vermont was made in the south-east part of this town in 1724, and was called 'Fort Dummer';" also "Col. John Sergeant was the first known white person born in the State of Vermont." Fort Dummer was at least the first white settlement in Vermont east of the Green Mountains, unless it be that in Vernon which was in part included in Northfield, Mass., some of the settlers in the seventeenth century had their farms north of the present Vermont line. Conant in his History of Vermont gives Vernon as first settled.

BUEL'S GORE .- A tract of land in Chittenden County. Vermont grant of 4,273 acres as a part of Coventry to Major Elias Buel and fifty-nine associates, Nov. 4, 1780, ante p. 47. Part annexed to New Huntington, (now Huntington), (Laws of 1794, pp. 55-57).

Coventry was granted in 1780 to be situate about on the line of Rutland and Addison counties but it was found its site was already taken, and in 1784 Capt. Elias Buel obtained that "flying grant" by which, in 1788, he obtained a charter of what is now Coventry, in Orleans County, and of Buel's Gore in Chittenden County. The Coventry charter was not issued or the land under it surveyed till 1788, but its charter was dated back to Nov. 4, 1780. This charter so dated refers, in stating the bounds, to trees marked in September, 1788, and some of the sketches of Coventry change the dates of the marking of the trees back to September, 1780, to fit the date of the charter. The trees were marked in September, 1788, and are rightly referred to in the charter as so marked and the discrepancy occurs by dating the charter back to the year the grant was originally made to Buel.
Buel's petition of Nov. 16, 1788, found in [ms.] Vermont State Papers, relates his difficulties with his "flying grant." It is as follows: "To the Honl General Assembly of the Stat of Vermont To be Convened at Westminster on the 2nd Thursday of Oct' next.
The Petition of Elias Buell of Coventry, in the State of Connecti- cut Unto Your Hon's Humbly Sheweth-That in 1780 your Pt' with his associates to the number of sixty Prefered their Pt" for a township of Lands, in this state & by advice of gent" Referd to in this State, Located the same Between the townships of Hubardston, Benson, Sudbury Orwell and Whiting Then supposed to be Vacant Lands for a full Township, and that in Oct' 1780 Your Pt" Obtained a grant of sd Lands at fio pr Right, and Immediately thereon Paid the granting fees then Required in solid Coin .- That some years after it was found by ascertaining the Surveys of sd adjoining Towns that the Same Covered the Whole of sd Lands, Whereupon your Pet' in Oct' 1784 Prefered his Pt" to the Hon' Assembly Stating sd facts & Praying for an Equivolent in any of Unlocated Lands in this State, and Obtained a flying Grant for an Equivalent, and that Due Regard Should be had to the quantity, quality, Situation & Time of the former Grant (as by files & Records may appear)

By the Laws of 1841, page 58, parts (south of Lamoille River) were to be set from Fairfax and Fletcher to Cambridge provided the three towns in interest so voted at the March meeting next ensuing and made certificate thereof to the clerks of the two counties concerned. Cambridge records show a vote in the affirmative. Re- cords of the Franklin County Clerk show acceptance by Fletcher, but no record has as yet been found to show that Fairfax assented. How- ever, there being no question that the act has become effective as re- gards Fletcher and Cambridge and from the nature of the act a divided annexation not being permissive, upon inspection of the Walling map of 1857 and the Beers Atlas map of 1872 and a knowledge of the conditions
