Documentation:
* Sources are from private family memoir written by Sidney Dwight Root,
* Descedents of Moses Root, including stories of move from MA to VT and stories of Craftsbury town-life.

Notes:
* Sidney Dwight Root's memoir is a fascinating account of a Yankee turned secessionist, his friendship/personal advising to Jefferson Davis, President of the Southern Confederacy, and his post-Civil War civic contributions to Atlanta and New York. His son, John Wellborn Root, became a well-known architect in Chicago before his young death.
