Happy New Year, everyone!!

I am looking for the link between my George TRIM(M), born about 1840 in NY,
to Benjamin TRIM(M), born in South Kingston, RI about 1755.

Benjamin married Mary in South Kingston, RI, and had several children-most
born in Petersham and Orange, MA- Joseph, b. 1780; Christopher, b. 1783;
George, b. 1785; Betsey, b. 1785; Susan, b. 1786; Martha, b. 1788; John, b.
1790; Annice, b. 1792 or 1793; Isaac, b. 1794; Washington, b. 1795; and
William, b. 1797. (Info from IGI, LDS)

A Benjamin TRIM ended up in NY near a Christopher, Washington, John, and
Isaac TRIM. I can't prove that these are the same TRIM(M)S, but the ages are
right.

My TRIM is a George TRIM, living in Franklin County, NY in the 1860 and
forward censuses. George lists his father's place of birth as VT in the
census, and at least Benjamin's son William was in Dummerston, in 1818, when
he married Alice BARBER (BARBOUR) of Dummerston. A William TRIM shows up in
the 1840 census of Franklin County NY., but nowhere in the records does
George show up as anyone's son!!

I am sure that my George is connected to the RI, MA, VT, and NY TRIMs in the
records, but can't find the link!!

Anyone out there got any ideas on how I can find my George's father?
