Talcott in his book: "William Chittenden and his descendants, 1882" says:
"Gov. Thomas Chittenden, son of Ebenezer, removed from Guilford at the age of 21 to Salisbury, in Litchfield County, then in its first settlement, where he was prosperous In business, and a prominent man in the community, sustaining important civil and military offices. In 1773, he removed again to what was then called the New Hampshire Grants, now the state of Vermont. He purchased a large tract of land on Onion River, then a wilderness, which took the name of Williston. Here he began a settlement with brilliant prospects, till the war of Revolution commenced, when he was driven from his home to a place less exposed to the enemy. He was a leading man in the measures taken to form a separate government for the State of Vermont, and in 1778 was chosen as its first Governor, which office he held with the exception of one year until his death.
Gov. Chittenden possessed in an eminent degree precisely those qualities that fitted him for the place in which he was called to act. He had not, indeed, enjoyed many of the advantages of education, but his want of education was amply supplied by the possession of a strong and active mind, which, at the time when he immigrated to Vermont, was matured by age, practiced in business, and enriched by a careful observation of men and things. His knowledge was practical, rather than theoretical. He was regular in his habits, plain and simple in his manners, averse to ostentation in equipage or dress, and he cared little for the luxuries, blandishments and etiquette of refined society.
Though he was deficient in many of the qualities now deemed essential in a statesman, he possessed all that was necessary in the times in which he lived, and was probably far better fitted to be the leader and governor of the independent, dauntless and hardy, but uneducated, settlers of Vermont, than would have been a man of greater theoretic knowledge and more political accomplishments.
He married in 1750, Elizabeth Meigs, dau. of Janna Meigs and Elizabeth Dudley, of East Guilford, sister of his brother Ebenezer's wife."
