The family records show 4 children by Tibbets and Betsey (Gardner) Northup starting with Gardener (b. 1797). So he should have been identified in the 1800 census. Their "Sarah" (b. 1803) married (1) William McDonald and (2) Mr. Munson. She lived her life in Hartford, Washington Co., New York. Was the older child in the 1800 census and male or female? Based on the ages of the parents, there certainly could have been more children. Best regards, Clyde :-)
