Misc. Notes
1810 Argyle, NY census lists Armariah and Martha living there with 2 daughters under 10 years old.
Sept 3, 1820, Mormon Genealogical Records, Martha, wife of Ararmah Fenton, was christened in the Congregational Church in Clinton City, town of Kirkland, New York (near Utica).
1821 New York Census indicate Amariah and Betsey were living in Clinton-Kirkland, New York.
Oct 1, 1821, in the same church, the children of Amariah and Martha Fenton were christened.
June 12, 1831 Martha Fenton in Greenwich City, NY (just north of Cambridge), was christened.
Amariah moved to Jackson, New York (just north of Cambridge) after the death of Martha.
1850 Jackson, NY census - Amariah Fenton, carpenter, age 66; wife Zinan, age 66, both born in Connecticut. Her real estate valued at $2000. (There is a conflict in the ages based upon the birth dates)
1855 Jackson, NY is the same as 1850 census record except his age was given as 72 years. (this makes more sense based upon the birth dates)
June 7, 1857 Amariah was christened in The First United Presbyterian Church in Cambridge, New York.
1860 Jackson, NY census - Amariah a farmer, age 77; wife Zinan.
No records found for children of Amariah and Zinan.
