They later lived in KS. & MO. I found a pretty good match for them in 1840 in Chautauqua County. According to later census info a daughter was born there in 1840. A son was born 1843 in Canada. Zachariah was a carpenter by trade. What was going on in the 1840's in your area to want them to move from Maine to NY & then move to Canada by 1843 and then to MO. by 1850? Pardon my ignorence on 19th century New York commerce. I know MO. history but am unfamiliar with your area. If anyone can help me I would appreciate it. Please email me directly SUEBROZ@AOL.COM. I had a man steal 5 yrs of research online and am really paranoid of direct postings. I'll share info with you if possible. Thanks, Sue
