?Evidence for Burlington VT as birthplace? Bennington seems more likely.

Holland is supposed to have walked to Boston about 1821. The ?fact? that he was married in Burlington has different interpretations depending upon whether that's Burlington VT or MA (though MA makes much more sense)... and it's not clear who Ruth Caldwell's folks were, or where. It's hard to imagine that Holland would have walked to Boston and then BACK to VT again, but how does one trace a 20-year old (presumably penniless) immigrant to Boston in the 1820s?
