Eliane-
Bear in mind that ofttimes the term "servant" in the census referred to
someone that was a relative, but not of the immediate family. Could be a
niece, nephew, grandchild etc. I have found the grandchildren of my great
uncle listed as servants in the census, probably because there was no other
place they would fit according to the census taker.

Subject: [RIGENWEB] Just In Case There Are RI Roots For These Names
Subj: [NYOTSEGO] Hobie Stone & Philotha Mattic-Hartwick, NY

My husband & I were in an antique shop in Bainbridge, NY yesterday, just
poking around and we found several family articles that really should be in
someone's genealogy collection...we couldn't identify where the Smith family
Bible might belong, or the collection of old photo's that might belong to
someone in the Greene, NY area...but we did see that names on a marriage
license for 1882 for Hobie Stone & Phiotha Mattice...so we looked on our
1880
census indexes and did find their names listed for Hartwick, Otsego co, NY
area:
by posting this, we do hope that someone descendant from either of these
families can go and save this marriage license from that antique shop.
here's the 1880 census info:
District 2, Toddsville, Otsego Co, NY, tape 915, page 133A
