  http://familytreemaker.genealogy.com/users/f/i/n/Paul-R-Finch/PDFGENE2.pdf Jeremiah Finch, the grandfather of Wm. P. Finch, came from Nine Partners, Amenia, Dutchess county, to Saratoga town soon after the close of the Revolutionary war. He settled on a farm leased of the old Schuyler estate, near Schuylerville, where he passed the remainder of his life. Previous to his death, by industry and frugality, be acquired other land in that section. On one of his farms Joseph, his oldest son, settled, and Daniel, the father of Wm. P., on another. Jeremiah Finch had eleven children, - nine boys and two girls. His descendants are very numerous, and are represented in different sections of the United States. Many of them are prominent and successful men of business, having acquired large wealth, and been identified with the material growth and welfare of their several localities. Daniel Finch, son of Jeremiah Finch, was a farmer all his life, and died, at the age of eighty-five, on the farm now occupied by his son, Wm. P. Finch. He married Sarah Peffer, and had three children, to wit., Wm. P., Eliza, and Mary Ann. Eliza is unmarried, and resides with Wm. P. Finch. Mary Ann married J.P. Clements, and resides near Ann Arbor, Mich. Wm. P. Finch was born on Oct. 13, 1815. He passed his early life in assisting his father in his farming enterprises. He afterwards visited different points in the west, engaging in business; but returning, took up a permanent abode on the farm which he now occupies, near Schuylerville. In connection with his farming enterprises he has been engaged, since 1857, in the lumber and plaster business at Schuylerville. He is a man of genial spirit, liberal mind, true in his words, of moral life, industrious and energetic in business, and by these traits has acquired a comfortable competency in life through his own exertions.(HISTORY OF SARATOGA COUNTY, NEW YORK, by NATHANIEL BARTLETT SYLVESTER,1878) http://www.findagrave.com/cgi-bin/fg.cgi?page=gr&GSln=Finch&GSfn=Jeremiah&GSbyrel=all&GSdyrel=all&GSst=36&GScntry=4&GSob=n&GRid=59462091&df=all&
