The Burlington, Vermont French Catholic Congregation in 1843

The following 320 persons were members of the Burlington, Vermont French Catholic Congregation in 1843. They all appear to be male Head’s of Families living in Chittenden County. The Committee Members wrote to the Bishop of Boston and asked him to let their French priest, Fr Ance, remain as their priest, to no avail. This is the earliest list of French Catholics that I have found in Vermont. Four members of the parish created the problem that caused Fr Ance’s removal. No other french priest served the congregation until St Joseph Church was founded in 1850. Fr Ance had a small chapel and school near the present St Joseph Cemetery.
