In Reply to: Re: Phebe Orvis, dau of Loren and Elizabeth by Julia Joaquin of 309

Julia,
Hi! my address is I am not related (or at least probably not) I am interested in Phebe because of some references I have found in early letters written by Quaker women in Addison County, am an historian of women and interested in her life. She, as you know, lived here in Vermont until she reluctantly left to live on the frontier (western New York) first at her Uncle Durfey's tavern and then as the wife of Samuel Eastman, Jr. Loren and Lillis (Brown) Orvis are buried just a couple miles from here in the Ferrisburg burial ground. I have also been wondering where Phebe's mother is buried. I turned up her death date in a genealogy, but after visiting all the possible places her death may have been recorded, I drew a blank. I located the place where Loren 's first farm was in Lincoln/Starksboro (on Quaker Street) and looked at the earliest Quaker burial ground there, but she was not there (or not marked). I checked the local town records and the Quaker records (which oddly enough are here in the Ferrisburg town clerk's office), but still nothing. I wonder if the 1922 book would shed some light.

Hi Laurie, I just sent a note to Suffolk to establish a link. Roy Orvis in Rochester NY is computerizing the family names. He had done 2000 out of 4000 a couple of years ago.There is a pioneer cemetery in Ajax,Ontario where Selah Orvis, Loren Orvis and a number of descendents are buried.They are included in the book.
I would be pleased to hear back from you and we could compare notes,

Regards, Doug Orvis
