Thank you for posting your request on History Hub!
We suggest that you search the Real Property Tax Service Agency in Dutchess County or Town Clerk Records for Washington County in the State of New York.
You also may wish to search Ancestry’s City & Area Directories for the address that you hope to locate. There may be a fee for using Ancestry. Instead, you may view these records online at one NARA's facilities for free via a NARA PC. For the nearest NARA location, please consult our web page at https://www.archives.gov/locations/. Also, some of the images from Ancestry are available for free on Family Search at https://www.familysearch.org/en/.
We hope this is helpful. Best of luck with your research!

Jennifer Nani May 7, 2020 12:01 PM (in response to Alice Lane)Thank you, Alice but on the 1930 and 1940 Censuses, there are no house numbers. On the 1930 Census, there's only a road name. In 1940 it says the unincorporated place is Shunpike. I wish I could find it again, but I found an article that said they lived at the corner of Bangall and Shunpike Road in Millbrook, which does correlate on both censuses. I also found a little blurb in the Poughkeepsie Daily Eagle saying John lived at R. F D. #4 (Rural Free Delivery Route) and his son, William's WWII card says R. 7. D #1 Washington, Dutchess, New York.

Alice Lane May 7, 2020 12:56 PM (in response to Jennifer Nani)Hi Jennifer,
I have an idea. Try contacting a real estate agent in Washington NY. They should be able to tell you about the area or may know someone who remembers the farm. I found the area on the map. Coldwell Bank real estate has a very large farm for sale in the area click here for map. https://www.coldwellbankerhomes.com/ny/millbrook/465-shunpike-rd/pid_35615987/
