Notes
a. Note:   1840 Martin Tanner lives in Fort Edward, Washington Co., NY 1850 Martin Tanner lives in Bolton, Warren Co., NY 1860 Martin and family live in Bolton, NY Leander Sherman also lives with them. He is 28. 1870 Martin and his wife, still live in Bolton, NY. Only son, Melvin is still in the house.
 Wardboro Cemetery: Maps of 1858 and 1876 show varying home sites near here. Across the road, north of the present cabin lived Martin Ward with his wife Carolyn and their four children (1858), while later J. Waters used the site. You can follow an old road to the right, just before the cemetery. It leads (after you ford the stream) to Dan Archer's farm (now cellar hole) up on the high plateau. Earlier S. Norton fanned here. Somewhere on the right of the road was a saw mill and two other homes in 1858.
 Thirty two people are buried in the cemetery: the first, Zechariah Ward in 1842, the last, infant Emma Clark in 1909. Life could be pretty precarious in Wardsboro. During the civil war years of 1862-1865 only young people were buried here - three Tanner children in just one summer. The family names on gravestones reflect the Wardsboro community and its changing residents - Wards, Tanners, Shufeldts, Waters, Potter, Phillips, Archer, Granger and Clark.
