Here is the information from the 1865 NY State Census Town 0f Poland family
number 276.

STAFFORD
Abel age 45 male born Chaut. Co., NY Married once farmer owns
Minerva age 41 female wife born Chaut. Co., NY has given birth to 8
children
Minerva age 19 f dau born Chaut. Co., NY Single
Gabel age 17 male son born Chaut. Co., NY single
Orsa age 15 male son born Chaut. Co., NY
Austin age 11 male son Born Chaut. Co., NY
Jane age 9 female dau born Chaut. Co., NY
Bertha age 7 female dau born Chaut. Co., NY
Grant age 2 male son born Chaut. Co., NY

This accounts for 7 of the 8 children born to Minerva. The 8th may already
be md. I found Sumner Smith age 23 with his parents and still single also
in Town of Poland.

On the 1875 census - Town of Poland family number 7
STAFFORD
Abel age 56 m Chenango Co., NY Married Farmer/carpenter/joiner o
Minerva age 51 f wife Chaut. Co., NY Married
Austin age 22 m son Chaut. Co., NY Single
Bertha age 17 f dau Chaut. Co., NY
Grant age 12 m son Chaut. Co., NY
McClellen age 9 m son Chaut. Co., NY
Linn age 5 m son Chaut. Co., NY

from above you can approximate dates of birth.

mentioned in Centennial History of Chautauqua County
Vol. 1 page 326 is Austin Stafford.

also on pages 502 and 503 is an Austin H. Stafford. and he is on page 547 of
Vol. 2 an A. H. Stafford Vol 1 pg 557 and Vol 2 pgs 353 and 358.

I only have the index here at home. Can look these up on next Tuesday.

Hope this is of some help.
