I've found my Welcome S. Burdick in the 1860 census in Barton, Tioga Co., NY, with his family. During the Civil War, he enlisted in the Union Army from this town and was released from svc on 20 Sept 1865. I've search through more than half of the 1870 for Barton so far and I've not found him or his wife, Isabelle, my cousin, listed. She appears in the 1880 census widowed, living in Ithaca, Tompkins Co., NY.
I'm not sure but it appears that his parents were Harrison W. and Eliza Burdick of De Ruyter, Madison Co., NY. As you found in the 1850 census, they had a son, Welcome, age 17, living with them. This Welcome's birth year of abt 1833 matches my Welcome's. I wonder if Harrison's middle initial "W" stands for Welcome?
Add'l data on them is shown below.
Can anyone confirm Welcome S. Burdick is Harrison W. Burdick's son?
Michael
