Thank you for your response. As you are probably aware, it was the only reply I

I think it's possible to overdo the lumping. A major benefit to Legacy's

Currently, when I am lucky enough to find an obituary (say from

No, your understanding is not wrong. My Rev. War ancestor and several of his
sons were warned out of Isle La Motte, Vermont. However, later they took the
Freemans Oath and attended town meetings. Not sure why they were warned out
in the first place. Here is a link to the NewEnglandAncestors website

I understood that when a family moved to a new town, if the elders of the
town thought they might require assistance at some time in the future they
'warned them out' legally, so that if they ever did need assistance the
paperwork was already in place, and the family knew they would get no help

I had a few ancestors "warned out" of Vermont. As Ann said communities were
legally responsible for taking care of those who could not care for
themselves. If newcomers did not appear to be capable they would issue an
order to depart town, and if they did not they were escorted out. My

In the U.S. there used to be what was called "Warned Out". Generally
it meant the locale the family was in didn't want to be responsible
