Dear Ms. Johnson,

Thank you for posting your request on History Hub!

We searched the National Archives Catalog and located the Population Schedules for the 1830 Census, and the  Population Schedules for the 1840 Census in the Records of the Bureau of the Census (Record Group 29) that may link Rebecca Winch to her father. The 1790-1840 censuses generally named only the head of household but reported the age of each household member in age categories. See NARA’s Clues in Census Records, 1790-1840 for more information. For access to the non-digitized schedules, please contact the National Archives at Washington, DC - Textual Reference (RDT1) via email at archives1reference@nara.gov. 

Due to the COVID-19 pandemic and pursuant to guidance received from the Office of Management and Budget (OMB), NARA has adjusted its normal operations to balance the need of completing its mission-critical work while also adhering to the recommended social distancing for the safety of NARA staff. As a result of this re-prioritization of activities, you may experience a delay in receiving an initial acknowledgement as well as a substantive response to your reference request from RDT1. We apologize for this inconvenience and appreciate your understanding and patience.

For information about the U.S. Census, see the Census Bureau technical documentation and questionnaires.

You may wish to search Ancestry.com for the U.S. Census. There may be a fee for using Ancestry. Instead, some of the images from Ancestry are available for free on Family Search or at your local library. Many library systems subscribe to these sites, making them free for their patrons.

The Federal Government does not ordinarily create or maintain birth, death, marriage or divorce records. Such records are made and kept by State and local governments rather than the National Archives. We suggest that you contact the New York State Archives: Genealogy and the New-York Historical Society for vital records and other available resources about Rebecca Winch. We also suggest that you search the New York Births and Christenings, 1640-1962 FamilySearch index and review the FamilySearch research wiki for New York Vital Records, Substitute Records for additional information.

We hope this is helpful. Best of luck with your research!
