HI Mary, I just came across this old reply to your message in my email outbox queue. For some unknown reason, I never sent it out to you. You've probably already received the info you needed, but just in case - here's what I found way back in January. Tink 1850 census: Nelson NY. - PECK, Joseph, 79, farmer, born NY.; Clara, 56, born NY; George, 29, farmer, born NY; owns realty valued ast $2000. [Doesn't state middle initial for Joseph.] Hamilton, Madison, NY: all in house born in NY. PECK, Nathan, 50, born NY; merchant, realty value $1800 Mary, 41; Henry M. 21; Phebe M. 10; in school Francis A 8; in school Gilbert E. 6; in school HUTCHINS, Roxylana, 29 [possible daughter of Nathan & Phebe?] SANDY, Marcellus M., 21, clerk Courtlandville, Courtland, NY: PECK, Nathan B., 27, sadler, born Madison Co., NY [probable son of Nathan & Phebe?] Laura, 22, born Cortland NY WINTUS, William, 17, saddler, born Cortland NY.
