Try Albany, NY too. They seem to have most records from 1880 on. NYS had to send records to them even if the clerk's office kept them. I have had great luck getting early death records from Albany when a town did not have them. You can find it online. Florence In a message dated 5/6/2008 3:08:40 P.M.

All the towns records I have searched don't go back as far as his birth and the town I know he died in does not have death records as early as 1882. I know he is buried in our local cemetery. That leaves Census records which fluctuate with information.
