Finkle-- Bolton & Bolton Landing

Classification: Query
Surnames: Finkle, Walker, Roberts, Ormsby, Bevins, Potter, Allen, Barber, Stafford, Chamberlain
I am reserching the Finkle Family of Bolton in the 19th century.
Before 1840, two brothers, George Finkle, Jr. and Thomas Finkle came to Bolton. Among other things, the Finkles were well known for being pilots and captains of steamboats on Lake George. I am searching for their ancestors and descendants. The surname list is of families they or their children married into. I have information on about 45 Finkles in and around Bolton, but some of it is confusing, particularly in the case of multiple marriages: the problem of to which wife which children should be assigned to.
I am particularly interested in which George Finkle of the half-dozen or so George Finkles in Canada, New York and Vermont in 1760-1820 was the father of George Jr. and Thomas Finkle of Bolton. All Finkles of that generation I can find are descended from Johannes Philipp Finkle, who came in the Palatine emigration of 1709.
I will be particularly happy to hear from any cousins.
