Found him on the 1850 Warren County, Tennessee census (dist 9 img 15) as William P. Finger age 3.

By 1870 the Finger family had made some property adjustments and appeared to be well settled. The census suggests that William P. and Cicero had divided their father's property, for the brothers occupied adjoining farms worth $4,000 each.
