Zadock Thompson, a famous Vermont naturalist, professor, and Episcopal priest, was born in Bridgewater, Windsor County, Vermont on May 23, 1796 and died in Burlington, Chittenden County, Vermont on January 19, 1856. During his lifetime, Thompson published numerous books on Vermont's history, the most notable being the "History of the State of Vermont" (1833) and "History of the State of Vermont, Natural, Civil and Statistical" (1842).
