However, they do appear in Macedon through the 1870 census (and wife Sarah appears there in the 1880 census). Having said that, you might want to try looking at copies of the 1855 and 1865 census of New York for Wayne County. The LDS has it for free on their pilot Familysearch site, but only some counties, and Wayne is not yet among them. Those censuses ask what county a person was born in and how long they have been there - which could prove to be very useful for Zury-Zura (the Cara is clearly a mistake when you look at the original census). Finding what county they were originally were from could give a better guess as to who their parents are, and what Sarah's maiden name was. The only Peters that we find in the 1855 census of Monroe County (we have a card index, which is not yet online), shows a W. Peters aged 28 in 1855, born in Wayne County.
