| | Somerset, Vermont, New England, USA |
 | | Somerset was granted to 62 people, but it seems highly unlikely that any of the grantees could have known much about the territory he was buying. |
 | | There was the Somerset family which had held at different times the Earldom of Worcester and the Dukedom of Beaufort; by 1761, however, the fifth Duke of Beaufort, Henry Somerset, was a youth of seventeen and still at Oxford. |
 | | Although the town of Somerset acquired some residents fairly early in its history and had over 300 people in 1850, it never had a village or any real center of population. |
