  4. The Rochester Genealogical Society maintains a file of family records containing genealogical data submitted to them on people who lived in a six county area surrounding the northern part of the Genesee River valley; specifically, those counties are Monroe, Wayne, Ontario, Livingston, Genesee and Orleans but at the time of contact, the Ward data contained very few dates, as follows:

  5. Census records for a Samuel Ward

    Samuel Ward & wife Salome in 1850 census in Darien, Genesee Co, NY;

    Samuel Ward in 1840 census Darvin, Genesee Co, NY

    (which I think should be Darien);

    Samuel Ward in 1830 census, Pembroke, Genesee Co, NY;

    Samuel Ward in 1820 census Orangeville, Genesee Co, NY.

    Samuel was married in Birkshire Co, MA in 1808 to a Salome Loomis.

    They likely came west to the Holland land sale.
