I recently learned that, according to Beers History of Allegany Co, page 234, a Seth RICE was the Caneadea Town Clerk in 1840. However, we have been under the impression that a Stephen A RACE was the Caneadea Town Clerk from 1841 to 1846, and again ib 1851. The 1840 Caneadea census lists an S A Race, but there is no listing of either of them in the 1850 Caneadea census. Can you possibly steer me toward a way to document any of this? Thanks in advance, and have a great holiday weekend. Bill
