Hey Listers~ Does anyone have access to Madison county NY Census information for 1840 and 1850? I'm trying to track down Henry C BURDICK's wife after he died 22 Sep 1850 in Brookfield. Wife Lydia FRINK (b 14 May 1806) seems to have disappeared after Henry died. For the record, Henry was born 14 May 1806 in Brookfield. I have a suspicion she might have married before Henry and had children with a SUTTON because I THINK I find her in the 1870 and 1880 Census(es) in Michigan and I believe Kansas (LOL-senior moment). Lydia was the dau of Asa FRINK b 19 MAR 1769 CT d 25 AUG 1857 Brookfield NY and Anna HEALY b 4 APR 1779 d 8 APR 1858 Brookfield NY. I use heritage Quest Census data, and it does NOT include 1830 or 1840 data regularly. Anyone out there with a better Census read? Thanks folks~ Michael Burdick

Hi Michael, The August 1850 census for Lenox, Madison Co., NY lists Henry C. Burdick age 44 no occupation b. NY; & Lydia F. Burdick age 40 b. NY. Living in the next house are Thomas Burdick age 49 farmer b. NY and Polly Burdick age 53 b. NY; also Henry L. Burdick 25 cooper b. NY & Roena L. Burdick age 17. So this would have been about a month before he died. Thomas & Polly are still in Lenox (Wampsville) in 1860, but Lydia is not living next door to them. On Ancestry.com there is a family tree that lists Henry & Lydia & says they died the same day. Don't know if it is an error or not. If I see anything else, I'll let you know. My grandmother's 2nd husband was Raymond Neal of DeRuyter, NY. His mother was Minnie B. Frink, so I might come across something in his scrapbooks about Lydia. Will post it on this website if I do. ----------------------------- Henry C.
