Looking for information on Elijah Birge born in N.Y. Feb.22,1813. His wife's name was sophronia Swift also born in N.Y. in 1807. They had the following children Angeline b.1833 Charles b.july 23,1834 They were both born in N.Y. A son James was born in Indiana on July 3,1838. He was my great grandfather. In the 1850 census for Louisa County Wapello township in Iowa there is also a Jerome Birge listed b 1828-1830 and a Richard Swift b. 1824 in N.Y. I believe these to be bothers.
