Misc. Notes
1794 Moved from Orange Co, NY to Nicholson, Luzerne Co PA and then to Clifford, Luzerne Co in 1810 and on to Gibson Twp, Susquehanna Co, PA in 1820 and 1830 before settling in Springville Twp, Susquenhanna Co.
1800 census data:
male 1<10, 1=10-16, 1=26-45
fem 3<10, 1=26-45
In the 1820 census, there doesn’t appear to be a female old enough to be his wife, so Elizabeth may have died. And later census records indicate he remarried Sarah who was then listed with him in 1850, and with whom he is buried.
1840 census:
male 1=20-29, 1=70-79
fem 1<5, 1=20-29, 1=60-69
Listed as Jno Belcher in 1850, a farmer (80, NY) with wife Sarah (69, PA) and Wm Cole (16, PA). The listing before him is Wm Belcher (33, PA) and family, apparently his son.
