  • Notes 
    • From History of Franklin and Grand Isle counties, Vermont (Lewis Cass Aldrich), pages 492-493, we find a brief biographical sketch of William Sisco, who resided in Fairfield: "William Sisco was one of the first settlers on the east side of the pond. He lived on the farm now occupied by the Asa Hammond family. He served during the entire war of the Revolution. As showing some of the privations to which these early settlers were subjected, it is related that he had been known to go to Swanton, a distance of fifteen miles, work for a bushel of potatoes, and then bring them home on his back"
