These drugs are responsible for 20 percent of multiple births. Multiple birth is a risk factor for preterm birth and infants born too soon face lifelong health problems such as breathing problems, mental retardation, cerebral palsy, vision and hearing loss, and even death.
In the late 1760s and early 1770s, the militia took on a more organized structure and formalized its name, the Green Mountain Boys, with Ethan Allen appointed as Colonel and commandant, and Seth Warner and Remember Baker as company commanders with the rank of Captain.
Ethan died in Burlington on the 12th of February, 1789 as a patriot of Vermont and the United States. Another key patriot in the development of the Green Mountain Boys and Vermont was Ethanâs younger brother Ira Allen. Ira was born on April 21, 1751 in Cornwall, Connecticut and later formed the Onion River Land Company with his brothers in order to buy lands in Vermont.
