You have to call the county of Essex, NY. and ask for the Vital statistics. It will cost
you a few dollars, but it is not difficult. Before you call, check Wikipedia for County
history sometimes counties split and you need the original county. Same for others. Some
of the Upper New York Counties formed in the 1820's, so they were well established.
But, some records were kept in the townships, in which, case check for Historical
Societies.
I refer to Upstate NY as a Genealogy black hole, large numbers of land sales after the
revolution but after a generation people moved west. They changed religions, families and
allegiances.
