1830 United States Federal Census

Notes - A reslution was passed by the town boards of Vermont that when it was thought that some family might bebome a financial burden on the town for support (no job, poor health, etc.) the Sheriff was to serve papers on the family "warning them out." This resolution was passed to take the burden off the other residents of the town. As evidenced by Pharzina's birth in Vermont in 1812 (per the 1850 census record), we know they didn't leave Vermont in 1810 after being warned out.
The family's travels are unclear, they were in Washington Co., NY in 1806 (daughter Rebecca reports being born there on the 1855 NY Census). A son, Abel, served in the War of 1812 for the NY Militia in Ulster Co. The family doesn't show up again until the 1830 census in Ashford, Cattaraugus, NY where they settled probably several years earlier.
