Hi Ruth, Nunda Station (which later had its name changed to Dalton) was located 3 miles south of the Village of Nunda. It was called Station because it was the location of the Erie Railroad station (in 1852). Business immediately sprang up and it was a thriving community for many years. Now it is a small hamlet. Trains still go through, but do not stop.' Regards Doug Morgan Livingston County Historical Society Ruth Johnson wrote: >G`day, > from South Australia. This is my first message to the list and also first American enquiry. I recently found a person of the same name as my g-g-grandfather (Hendry or Henry FRAMINGHAM) on the 1850 Census for Nunda Station. On the Census he has a 4 year old born in England, so this fits in nicely with his last appearance in UK records that I can find in 1844. He was widowed that year and his two children from that marraige are in the workhouse in Norfolk, UK in 1851, no sign of their surviving parent. > >My main query at this stage is; can someone please explain what the word `Station` means after Nunda.
