Fern Mitchell, age 2, is enumerated in the 1910 Census in the household of George Mitchell in Fairfield, VT, daughter of George (who, per 1930 Census, may be the brother of Benjamin Mitchell). But in the 1930 Census, Fern appears in the household of Emma Mitchell and her mother, Anna Wheelock (Rosa Ann Snay), and is identified as the granddaughter of Anna Wheelock. These two records are contradictory (assuming they refer to the same person). Family records indicate that the 1930 record is correct - she is the daughhter of Emma and Benjamin Mitchell, not the daughter of George Mitchell.

Abijah was a founder and the first permanent settler of Calais, Vt.
"Wheelock Genealogy", by Carlyle Wheelock and Winifred Gonseth has the following to say about Abijah:
"Abijah Wheelock was born in Charlton, MA. He married Lois Nichols of Oxford, MA. In the spring of 1787 he with his cousins ASA and PETER WHEELOCK, came to Calais to cut timber and clear land, but they all returned to Charlton in October. In the following spring he again came to Calais and built a log house, again returning to his family to spend the winter. The next spring he with his wife and two children, together with their household efffects on an ox sled, arrived at Col. Davis' in Montpelier, where they were obliged to remain for two weeks. April 13, 1789, they set out on foot over three feet of snow for their new home, at which place they arrived that evening, thus making the first permanent settlement in the Town of Calais."
