How might a person born in Vermont in 1797 also be born in New Hampshire?
Vermont was considered a part of New Hampshire for many years. At one time, western Vermont was considered part of New York!
From 1778-84, Hanover and a number of towns in Grafton County seceeded from New Hampshire. They flirted briefly with the idea of forming a separate state together with a group of Vermont towns--"New Connecticut" would have been the name and Dresden, the corner of Hanover where Dartmouth is located, would have become the capital. However, they settled on union with Vermont as a more practical way in which to assure association with their friends across the river. They were admitted to the state of Vermont in 1778. After much conflict, they finally dissolved ties with Vermont, and, in 1784, joined the New Hampshire state legislature.

I started studying my genealogy several years ago, and the 1880 census records are very helpful. I assume that you have a known ancestor whose father (or mother) was born in Vermont. Just remember the census taker did not always get things right. He may have questioned someone else living in the household, such as a child or boarder or even a neighbor. I often come across information that contradicts information from another source. Do you have more than source that states the ancestor was born in Vermont?
Why are some of the windows in Vermont houses sideways?
It is not unusual, on old farmhouses, to see windows on an angle. Typically, these occur when someone added an addition onto an old farmhouse. The roofline of the addition is lower than the roofline of the original house. There will now be a doorway between a room in the original house and the addition, often where a window used to be. However, the old room no longer has a window and is very dark. Enterprising Vermonters would reuse the old window, on an angle, parallel to the new roofline. This would accomplish two things: Nothing would be wasted and the room would be lighter! This was before the invention of skylights! It is not unusual, on old farmhouses, to see windows on an angle.
