The following list of Thurbers is taken from the "Official History of Guilford, VT 1678-1961" Published by the Town of Guilford and Broad Brook Grange No. 151 on the occasion of the Town's Bicentennial 1961. The book contains this dedication:

DEDICATED TO THE MEMORY OF JOHN EPHRAIM GALE1866-1945

A life-long resident of Guilford who, while he was Town Clerk (1904-1915), devoted much time and effort to copying early records. By his diligent research he collected a vast amount of material which has been of great assistance in the preparation of this book.

The boldface entries have the names as they appear in the book. The additional information is based on information I have gathered from numerous sources, but in most case has not been verified with official records of the persons listed.
