There was an agricultural census as well as a manufacturing census. I believe that the agricultural census schedules for New York are at the NYS archives in Albany. Some of the manufacturing census schedules--which would include mills--are available on NARA microfilm. They will not list employees, however. When I have tired to find employees of industrial concerns, I have checked directories and censuses for listings of individuals' occupations. While the censuses will usually not specify for what firms they worked, they might say, for instance, "mill worker" or something similar. You can then make a failry good case for being associated with a particular mill if they lived close to it. If they lived in company housing, then you are likely to find a concentration of such workers. As for relatives of presidents, I would look on the Web first. I believe that Rootsweb has begun a section along those lines.
