General Notes: Husband - John Fassett

---

He moved to Bennington, Vermont, in 1761, with the first settlers.

He moved to Bennington, Vermont, with the first settlers, and became prominent in the early history of that state. He was one of a committee sent back to England to interview King George III to settle the land grant for the State of Vermont when it was separated from New Hampshire and New York. Thus he aided in giving independence to the state. He was elected to the first State Legislature of Vermont. He was a captain in the first military company of Vermont, in which his three sons were associated with him: David, John and Jonathan. He was elected Judge of Probate for the Bennington district in 1778; he was choir leader and deacon in the Bennington Congregational Church.
