Chittenden/ Crittenden families
These families are not directly related to us,
but I include this partial descent list due to the frequent
intermarriage. I have left out most of the children, including
only those who married into our lines.
Chittenden is related to Crittenden and Cruttenden, and the varied
spellings make it difficult to track them.
