Dear Mr. Frank:

Find a copy of John H. Long, ed., New York: Atlas of Historical County
Boundaries  (1993). From it I can tell you that Cumberland was a NY
county from 1766 to 1777, when it was eliminated because Vermont became
independent. It was roughly the e. half of Vermont as far north as
Rochester, Vt. (covered Windham and Windsor Counties and a bit of
Bennington and Rutland Counties).

Tryon is different. It was created in 1772, and is now (much shrunken)
Montgomery County.

As to Wynamick, Vermont historians would be a better source.
