Beginnings [1]

The Indians exercised practical jurisdiction overall the lands now included in Washington county till 1781 or 1782, when Thomas Mead made the first permanent white settlement in Middlesex, a mile or more below Montpelier. White men had, however, before that taken to themselves paper or parchment title — what Col. Orange Fifield would call " a paper front" if describing their invasion — to a good many acres.
