Classification: Query
Surnames: FARNSWORTH, SEARS
I found what I believe is my 3g grandfather Samuel H. Farnsworth in a book that reflected the Niagara District Quarterly Sessions 1835-1840.
He was accused of molesting his daughter Harriet Dougherty Sears and was sentenced to 3 months in Jail. Other names mentioned at the trial were James H. Sears, Ann Sears and Elizabeth Farnsworth.
I believe he is my 3g grandfather because his middle name was reflected as Hathaway.
My question is: Wouldn't there be other records reflecting more personal detail about the person that was on trial? Records that may state the birth date, birth place etc.
Any help and/or advise on how to find this information would be appreciated. Looking for something that would substantiate that this is in fact my 3g grandfather.
