Seeking address of farm

Jennifer Nani Oct 11, 2019 7:37 AM

I have a census from 1940 in the town of Washington, NY in the unincorporated place for Shunpike for the ex husband of my Great Aunt who lived in Millbrook, NY. The page doesn't have a street name, nor numbered addresses. However his WWII draft registration card says he was living on Shunpike Road. I know he and his son were living on a farm. In the 1930 census, his sister was also living with them, but the page had road names of Bangall Road and Shunpike Road. How would I go about finding the address of the farm they lived on?

Dear Ms. Nani,

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!
