Zeruiah Finch of Hadley, N.Y.
Zeruiah Finch is my great great great grandmother. She married my great great great grandfather Squire Lawton in l815 in Hadley, N.Y. The War of 1812 records of Squire Lawton have his bible incorporated within in the National Archives in Washington, D.C. and this is their marriage year in Hadley, Saratoga County, N.Y. Concerning the family of Zeruiah nothing more is given. I believe her father was John Finch and mother Sarah, also of the town of Hadley in Saratoga County, N.Y. (town of Greenfield at that time). When she was a little girl, he met his death following a lumbering accident and the record of the disposition of his estate on file in Saratoga County. He was at that time just getting started and very poor. The amount of his contract for lumbering that year was a good one and it was probably his first good year. The money went towards paying his medical and nursing care over a number of months, although he did not survive the accident. Can anyone help me on the ancestry of Zeruiah.
