Lisa of Cal.   , I really appreciate this help.   My oldest  record has James P. 's father as Elnathan, born 1799 and married to Margaret R. in 1822.    He was from or born Westchester, NY.    His Roots web ID is I48712.   This is where I am stuck.    Thanks so much

I'm not sure where to search for "early" records, but I'll have a look around.  (I don't have American ancestors.)

 Grin  My title may be Aristocrat, but I only joined the site this year.   Wink  Keeping my fingers crossed that we can find something.

Just to confirm, you don't need further information for James or any of his siblings, correct?  You are just trying to find information for James' parents?

You most likely have this, but mentioning it in case you don't:
http://www.archive.org/stream/abstractofchurch00mead/abstractofchurch00mead_djvu.txt
Brief statement about Margaret A (Palmer) who was the wife of Elnathan Finch.

Possibly another Elnathan Finch

May or may not be your Elnathan:
