Found him on the 1850 Benton, Yates, New York census (img 78) as James Finger, age 30.

Found him on the 1860 Eldred, McKean, Pennsylvania census (img 14) as Eli J. Finger age 46, laborer.

He and his wife must have moved to Pennsylvania for a short time in the 1860s, since they appear there on the 1860 census, and two daughters Caroline and Christina, were born there in 1861 and 1865. They then show up back in New York in 1870
