Vine Botsford was the son of Gideon and Meriam (Hitchcock) Botsford of Newtown, Fairfield, CT, and was born there on 14 Aug 1764. However, there is a discrepancy between this date and the date of his birth via calculation from the record of his age at death from the Harmony Church Cemetery records. That record suggests he was born 14 Nov 1763. This discrepancy is exactly 9 months, which based on the fact the cemetery records state he died at the age of 73 years, 10 months and 7 days, if his age were actually 73 years, 1 month and 7 days, that would fit the Newtown Vital Records.

In 1800 Vine was of Butternuts, Otsego, NY with a household of 2 males under 10 years old, 1 male 26 to 45, 3 females under 10 years old, 1 females 26 to 45, and 1 Free Person of Color.

In 1810 misnamed V. Botchford is still in Butternuts, Otsego, NY with a houshold of 1 male under 10 years old, 1 male 10 to 16, 1 male 16 to 26, 1 male over 45, 1 Female 10 to 16, 2 Females 16 to 26, and 1 Female 26 to 45.

In 1820 he is still in Butternuts, Otsego, NY with a household of 1 male 10 to 16, 1 male over age 45, 1 female 16 to 26, 1 female 26 to 45, and 1 female over age 45. His son Gideon Botsford is living next door with his wife.
