I note that your Wilbur was from Strafford, VT (Orange County). Do you know
the source for Wilbur's middle name, FISK? I have a FISK family from the
vicinity of Montpelier VT (Washington County, just NW of Orange County) and
wonder if we have a link:

1  Stephen FISK b. ca. 1769 m. Esther UNKNOWN
2  Stephen FISK (Jr.) m. Caroline UNKNOWN
3  Amasa A. Fisk m. Nancy B. CHAFFEE
4  Charles Raleigh FISK b. VT d. WA m. (1) Ellen CLARK & (2) Abigail Coffee
MARTIN b. VT
5  Willard Cummins FISK b. 1890 VT d. 1978 CA
