You might try the new york genweb site or contact the union springs town historian.
Union Springs is on the northeastern edge of Cayuga Lake in NY's finger lakes region. It is just south of what is now the Montezuma Federal Refuge was back then and still is a very active waterfowl region. You can tell from the old homes that the town had money back then. I had heard but forgot where the money came from.
