Known as Granny Stalbird, Deborah Vicker came through Crawford Notch c.1796 as cook for Col. Joseph Whipple. It is said she brought the first bible to the north country. She married Richard Stalbird and settled on land deeded to her by Whipple in payment for her service. She became the region's "doctress," a travelling herbalist who learned native wisdom about plants and healing. Stories of her knowledge, bravery, and dedication to settlers of this new frontier are part of the history of White Mountain settlement.
