Mr. Vosburgh,
After I find out that one of my ancestors has come from another state within the census, I
usually go to Ancestry.com's Historical Records so as to see under the surname which I
am looking what documents might be available that can 'expand my knowledge' as to
the family surname that I am looking for...great stuff can usually be found. Here's
