He is a no-show by 1830 and no William Priest shows up until 1860 and then only in Chenango County and too young to be the same man. I've found a query by a lady asking about George Delap saying he went to Wisconsin around 1850. Since we know he was in Madison county for the 1850 census....anyway her info gives the right children's names. Do you know of this? Tim
