The 1820 census only names the head of the household. Don't automatically assume that a male and female who are about the same age are husband and wife. They could be siblings, cousins, or not related at all, such as a boarder or housekeeper.

SMALLING - As Ashland, Dec. 21st, Huldah, relict of the late Cyrus Smalling, aged 81 years and 10 months. [Funeral at Ashland, Dec. 24th.
You should be able to obtain a death certificate for Huldah, but Cyrus probably died before the Town of Ashland began keeping track of vital records. Contact the Ashland Town Clerk, Ashland, NY 12407.
Even if they didn't have wills, probate papers for this couple, if any exist, may be found at the Greene County Historical Society's Vedder Memorial Library in Coxsackie. These documents might identify other relatives.
