Hi Emily, Saw your request for landholders - I have the 1851 census for Mooers and I see a Israel Labounty, an Abram, a Peter and a Joseph. Don't know how familiar you are with french names, but this could be Labonte. Also are you familiar with the Clinton County exchange page, there are numerous Labonte/Labounty listed in births and marriages at http://www.genexchange.com/ny/clinton/index.cfm Good luck, Andree Florida
