  [S181] Census - New York States Census -1855 - New York, Allegany County, Caneadea; 137; Daniel Hawley Family (Reliability: 3). Name: Daniel Hawley Birth Year: abt 1807 Age: 48 Gender: Male Relation to Head: Head Residence: Caneadea, Allegany, New York, USA Household number: 137 Line Number: 2 Household Members: Name Age Daniel Hawley 48 Sally Hawley 38 Dennis Hawley 14 Wm Hawley 12 Alonzo Hawley 10 Mary J Hawley 8 Monroe Hawley 6 Ezra Hawley 3 Leonard Hawley 1 Julia Ann Holmes 18 William Franklin Holmes 0 (1/12) William Holmes 23 1855 New York State Census - Daniel Hawley Family [S188] Website - Michael Hawley's Web Page - Family Tree of Hawley's - Holly's, viewed; 28 October 2016; Daniel Hawley - http://geocities.ws/hawley_14072/daniel.html. This is the 1855 agricultural census of Allegany County, NY, and it shows Daniel Hawley and his family living in the town of Caneadea next to his father-in-law, William Huff (not shown).  Daniel also lives next to a man named, William Hawley, who is 36 years older than he is, so it could be his father. By looking at the birth times and locations of his children, it shows that Daniel got married to Sarah around 1837.  They soon moved to Steuben County, NY, and resided there until around 1841.  They moved to McKean County, PA, and resided there until around 1848.  A William Hawley, probably his father, was already living there.  They then moved to Allegany County, NY, in 1848, and lived there until 1859, when they moved to Michigan. Daniel's father, William, probably died around 1859, since William is not in the 1860 census.  William may have moved to Michigan with Daniel, but he was in his 80's, and travel may have been too difficult.  Daniel seems to be moving his family around the location of the local river.  Other records show that lumbering was going on in this area at the time, so Daniel may have been a laborer in the lumber business.  This may also be the reason why Daniel moved his family to Michigan, so he may have been following the lumber trade to Michigan. This William Holly lives next Daniel Hawley, and is 86 years old.  It states that he was born in New Jersey, and has lived in the area for fifty years.  Daniel states that he is 48 years old, and has lived in the area for 48 years, which supports the hypothesis that this is Daniel's father.  It also states that he does not own the land.  His wife is fifty years old, and is probably a second wife.
