Mylott and Glode Family of Upstate New York

Families, one may say, are composed of interwoven threads. The Mylott- Glode Family is family woven with Anglophones and Francophones who emigrated from England and France in the 17th and 18th centuries to New England and New France. After decades of movement they came to live in Clinton, Washington, and Saratoga Counties of New York State.  Milo Benjamin Mylott was a Champlain canalman from Whitehall, New York on the northern end of the canal.  Edith Lida GLode was the daughter of Alexandre William Glode and Marie Angelique Allard, another Champlain Canal family originally from Champlain village on the New York -Quebec border.  Benjamin and Edith married in Waterford, New York on January 10th, 1910.

The Franophones were Mylott, Milot dit Champagne, Glode, Poissant dit LaSaline,  Allard, Paquet dit Lavallee, Duvernay, Robert, Boisvert, Lalonde dit Latrielle, Delpe dit Pariseau, Guilbault, and Beaudry. Beyond the 5th generation there were Filles du Roi (daughters of the King), soldiers of the Carignan-Salieres, Troops of Montcalm, founders of Montreal, and pioneers of Quebec.

The Anglohones were Kingsley, Palmer, Johnson, Cole, Luther, Bowen, Butts, Hale and more Puritan families of Rhode Island and Massachusetts Bay Colonies. They were farmers and deacons, soldiers and migrants making their way through the northeast frontier.

During the height of the Champlain Canal in New York State, they made their living as farmers and canalers.
