You show a girl born to Jasper Farmer Berdine, Cattaraugus, New York. I have found an obit, for her youngest daughter Miranda Northup Jaynes d. 1941 in Find A Grave. I think, she may be the missing daughter.
Right now, I am trying to clean up the family tree on Family Search. Since, both Jasper and Nicholas, married Sarah(s). A whole bunch of mixed links. In searching for guidance I found your tree on rootsweb.
I'd like to consort on you findings and incorporated them in Family Search.
Dates and location fit. I am working from the Hammond/ Northup side of the equation.
It's tough, before 1850 as little is known from govt docs.
I look forward to hearing from you

Dave,
Thank you for your reply. I've attached the obituary I mentioned. Frankly, I was hoping you'd have some information which might make sense. You show a female, in the Jasper family, born about 1828/29 and it is in the proper area of the country. I am also inquiring with a few other people working on this family. As far as Jasper, middle name being Farmer. His mother's maiden name is Farmer and there appears to be a tradition for this in the family for preserving heritage.
From Find A Grave:
Randolph Register, Friday, June 27, 1941
