Found him on the 1850 Benton, Yates, New York census (img 84) as John Finger age 37, farmer. Value of real estate owned 1400. Also in his household is Sarah Sweeney age 19, born New York. Relationship unknown. Possibly she is a daughter since the box on the census labeled 'married within the year' is checked, also John's wife's name is Sarah.

Found him on the 1860 Benton, Yates, New York census (img 57) age 47, farmer. Living with his family is Hiram Finger age 26, farm labor. It's not clear if Hiram is a son since he is listed at the end of the list of names order by age. Possibly he is a nephew.
