Nathaniel Finch, Alpheus Finch
Hello,
I'm trying to find census data and the like to make this connection. Alpheus Finch is the son of Nathaniel Finch listed on this website: http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb....31.htm#i438614 Nothing from Conklin, NY. Any help would be appreciated.... I need proof for the Winthrop Society and the Sons of the American Revolution. Thx Jason

Welcome to the forum, Jason.
This is Alpheus Finch on the 1850 US census, as referred to on the page that you linked to: http://interactive.ancestry.co.uk/80...nSearchResults Conklin, Broome County, NY Alpheus Finch age 80, born NY Mary Finch age 60, born NJ The preceding household is Ezekiel Finch and the following one is Ruff Finch. This looks like his household on the 1840 census although he has himself down as age 50-60 when he should be older: http://interactive.ancestry.co.uk/80...&usePUBJs=true Union, Broome County, NY: Head of family Alphas Finch 1 male age 5-10 2 males age 10-15 1 male age 20-30 1 male age 50-60 1 female age 10-15 1 female age 40-50 There are some other Finch households on the page but I can't see how they fit in with the names on the "Landon Lineage" page.

1830 census at Conklin, Broome Co, NY:
http://interactive.ancestry.co.uk/80...cklabel=Return Head of family Alpheus Finch 1 male age 10-15 1 male age 15-20 1 male age 60-70 1 female age 10-15 1 female age 50-60 There is another Alpheus Finch at Pitcher, Chenango County, NY: http://interactive.ancestry.co.uk/80...cklabel=Return 1 male under 5 1 male 10-15 1 male 40-50 1 female under 5 1 female 5-10 1 female 20-30 1 female 30-40 The next household is headed by Sylvanus Finch, age 60-70, so I think that these are the people who were at Union in 1840 and I need to go back to the 1840 and have another look for your Alpheus.

Ah yes, this is the right family in 1840, so ignore the 1840 link in post #2:
http://interactive.ancestry.co.uk/80...nSearchResults Conklin, Broome Co, NY Head of family A Finch 1 male age 20-30 1 male age 70-80 1 female under 5 2 females age 15-20 1 female age 50-60.

FamilySearch does give free access to a lot of US census images, maybe all of them, I'm not sure, but they don't seem to have a full index to them all yet, so more likely to find him by searching on ancestry. It's late here in the UK so I will have to come back to this tomorrow.

This looks like him on the 1800 census at Duanesburgh, Albany Co, NY:
http://interactive.ancestry.co.uk/75...cklabel=Return Alpheas Finch head of family, 2 boys age 0-10, 1 man 26-45, 3 girls 0-10, 1 woman 16-26. And I think this is your Alpheus Finch on the 1810 census at Bridgewater, Luzerne Co, PA: http://interactive.ancestry.co.uk/76...cklabel=Return It doesn't show the column headings but I think it says two boys age 10-16, 1 man age 26-45, 2 girls age 0-10 and 2 girls age 10-16. And in 1820 at Silver Lake, Susquehanna Co, PA: http://interactive.ancestry.co.uk/77...cklabel=Return Again, it doesn't show the column headings but I think it is two boys under 10, 2 men over 45, 1 girl under 10, 1 girl 10-16, 1 woman 26-45 and 1 woman over 45. Although these are in PA, they are close to the NY border. I can't find him as a head of family in 1790 but he was probably still in his father's household at that time. Not sure which one that is though. I don't think censuses are going to prove that he is Nathaniel's son, so we need to find something else.
