And thanks to canis11 who pointed me to the NY state census. From the NYS census from 1855 I was able to find that my William Wilkins was born in Seneca County, NY, we believe 27 Jul 1792. His wife Celinda/Salinda, and children Mary and Luther where born in Livingston Co., NY. We know nothing of Celinda/Salinda's family and maiden name, nor William's parents or siblings.

My data indicated Bernice Vaughan married Paul Botens 23 Oct 1915. Records show that Bernice's brother Earl Vaughan lived with them at one time. My current interest is if I can locate the grave sites of several Vaughans, one being my great grandmother that died at Olean in January 1887. Her name was Elizabeth Eaton Vaughan. The other is my great great grandparents David and Sabrina Vaughan who died at New Hudson in 1878. Any information would be appreciated.
