Here is a list of all Nelson Whitcombs listed on US Census [all years] from Ancestry.com. If you want details on any one of them, let me know and I'll post it. [Details shown for those born in NY in 1856]. When I clicked the link you gave, it showed dozens of different entries. I "own" the census database, but none of the others.

I am trying to determine his wife's name. If it is, I will make a trip to the library across town. I am reluctant to go only for that if it's not him.
