Although I am working on French Canadians mainly living in Northern Addison County, I must keep in mind that boundaries between counties were easily crossed by our ancestors. Just north of the town of Ferrisburgh was the village of East Charlotte, in Chittenden County, where there was a Catholic Church—Our Lady of Mount Carmel—as early as 1858. However, that would not stop Oliver King (Roy), wife Eleonora Dufresne, and their children—nor any fellow French Canadians who lived in North Ferrisburgh—to attend this church as they were closer to East Charlotte than to Vergennes St. Peters Church.
