From the History of Goshen, Conn, by A.G. Hibbard) 



Sons of* John willoughby b. 1729 and grandsons of John willoughby m. 

 1738, both of Goshen, Conn 



Zerah Willoughby, b. 10 Feb. 1767, was member &t assembly for Fletch- 

 er, vt. in 1818: judge of supreme cot art and chief judge for several 

 years before his death in 1821, 



Amherst willoughby b. 1 Oct. 1769 : was in Huntington in 1808 and in 

 Shrewsbury , vt . in 1815. 



Their older brother Salmon Willoughby was Mrs U's great grandfather 

 and vent JbM* his brothers late in life to Vermont and died there. 

 I have always understood that it was in the northern part of the state 

 and that the lake and mountain belonged to the brothers or was at least 

 named from them. Mrs. U. has no willoughby cousins as Salmon willough- 

 by had only daughters in his family, 



A Westal Willoughby b. 1769 was member of Congress, a doctor in Her- 

 kimer , N.Y. aa* afterwards founded the town of Willoughby in Ohio. You 

 see it was a family habit. . There is a Westal willoughby now at either 

 Washington.D.C. or Johns Hopkins University that is I think a descendant 

 of this congessman. But we have no knowledge of either of the Vermont 

 brothers or their descendants other than that above stated.
