The 1855 census (not yet online that we know of - we have a card index to it, which is what this is being typed from) says: James H Wood, 34, b Germany, here [Penfield] 14 years, wagon maker Bridget, 33, b Ireland, here 14 years Richard, son, 13, b Monroe County, here 13 years Julian, son, 8, b Monroe County, here 8 years Jane, daughter, 7, b Monroe County, here 7 years Burdena [sic], daughter, 6, b Monroe County, here 6 years James, son, 4, b Monroe County, here 4 years Frances, son, 2, b Monroe County, here 2 years The 1865 census of Penfield is online for free at: http://pilot.familysearch.org/recordsearch/start.html#w=0&p=waypoint&s=waypointsOnly&c=fs:1491284 (although it is not indexed). There is a link to SOME Penfield church records: http://nyrgs.org/churchRecordsPhoto/chRecIndex.htm; the LDS has filmed the Diocese of Rochester church records down to 1910; the Penfield historian is Kathy Kanauer, Penfield Public Library, 1985 Baird Road, Penfield, NY 14526, (585) 340-8740, [email protected]; and there is an newspaper index at: http://www.libraryweb.org/~digitized/newsindex/1851-1897/Index67WHI-WOO.pdf that you might want to check. It does have Penfield people in it. Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.
