Help!! Benjamin Howell an early settler of Ridgebury had a son named George W. HOWELL who settled in Goshen Village. I believe this is my g+ grandpa who was born in New York around 1798 and is found in Illinois on the 1850 census. His mother, Sarah Howell, age 82 is living with him. Does anyone have any information and dates for me on George or Benjamin? Does someone have access to the Orange Co. Census Index for 1850? I'm wondering if George is not on it, because he moved to Illinois then. Any help? I could sure some!! Thankx so much! -Kristan
