Here is some of my Finch family info:

Typewritten pages from family researchers (Everett and Edith Finch, I think - both now deceased.)
This info seems to match or be from Col. Thummel's work.

Another typewritten reference per papers found in 'Cousin' Ina Lemmon's family Bible:
Family of Isaac Finch, Jr.
Isaac Finch Jr.(middle name Burton inserted in handwriting) born Nov. 20, 1789 died 1860(handwritten date)
Betsy Finch born Mar. 4, 1791 d. Dec. 28, 1828
Children:
Sally Ann Finch born. Dec.7, 1813 died Dec. 6, 1851
Isaac Finch 3rd born Apr. 7, 1815 died Mar. 5 1860
Henry H. Finch born May 10, 1817
Fanny Finch born Aug. 29, 1818
Lydia Weeks Finch born Mar. 26, 1820
Eleanor Finch born Feb. 21, 1822
Phebe Finch born Dec. 28, 1828
Betsy Finch born Dec. 28, 1828
(I think that Betsey died in child birth as another note referencing "Virkus Abridged Compendium
of American Genealogy" by 'cousin' Perry Carpenter of Fleetville, indicates a possible date of
death of Dec. 28, 1828. That is the same date as the birth of the twin daughters. The note goes
on to say that she must have lived longer because there were chldren until 1841. The Bible
reference also goes on to list these children as if they were Betsey's. I believe them to be the
children of a 2nd wife, Lucinda Swallow, and not Betsy Weeks)
Almira Finch born Nov. 16, 1830
Carpenter Finch born Oct. 16, 1833 died may 6, 1852
Merilla Finch born Dec. 18, 1836 died Mar. 17, 1911
John J. Finch born Jan. 8, 1839
Jesse Knowls Finch born Mar. 8, 1841.

(My 2nd great grandfather was John Jay Finch. His mother was Lucinda Swallow according to
family history.)

There is also a census report, as follows:

The United States Census for 1850
Luzerne County in the state of Pennsylvania
Greenfield Township
