Keep up the good work.Sometimes you have a dry spell and then all of the sudden you find more than you can handle.
Something else to keep an eye is the city directories of each community that you are aware of that they lived in.When looking at these you should get you a large map page showing the states of New York and Connecticutt on the same page.
Use this map as a tool to consider the path of travel to determine other locations depending on the profession of Malvena`s father.It was my understanding that he did travel a lot so you may find him in communities along the stage roads of the day.Sometimes those directories are made at the time the individual was there because the hotel or hostel keepers would list the occupants of the household.
Sometimes counties would be carved into new counties at any given time which would also put folks some place else because they are in the "new county" for about a month and then the boundaries would be straighten out to put some folks back later in the original county.
Also look for any county or state census for the years 1835, 1845, 1855, 1865, 1875, 1885, 1905, 1915.Depending on what location in the country will depend on what you find available.
Putting the family in a particular area at a given time will be noted in the newspapers of the day.Some newspapers can be very generous with information even that early in the northeast.
If you are aware of the faith of this family during these early years will be helpful as to where to look for births and baptisms.
As you can see the family genealogist has to be a good detective.
