It might have been Samuel and Abigail Rider. The 1800 census show Samuel Rider living at Galway, Sarasota Co. NY. He is still there in 1810 and 1820. In 1820 there are 3 Riders...Caleb, Jacob and Samuel. In 1830 There is no Samuel, but an Abigail, who could have been his widow. In 1830 Caleb had apparently moved to Northumberland, Saratoga Co. I am quite sure that my great-grandmother, Ellen Rider Hancock, was the sister of your ancestor Eliza Rider Fairbanks. I have been trying to find a connection between Caleb Rider and Stephen Rider of Vermont because he was a descendant of Mayflower passenger William Brewster. So far, no luck.
