Your listing is old so don't know how much you have learned since but in case you are still interested:
I am researching the Chapman family of Connecticut and Onondaga Co., NY.In the 1830 census of Camillus, Onondaga Co., NY along with my Chapman family, there are 2 Felter families.One is Isaac Felter--age 40-49 and the other is Jeremiah P. Felter.
Probably your Jeremiah is the son of Jeremiah P. as Isaac has no males under the age of 5.
An Elizabeth Felter married John Chapman, my great-great-great-great grandfather.Her birth date was about 1817 in NY and she died in 1881.She indicated that both of her parents were also born in NY--which, if true, would put the Felter family in NY before 1800.Hope this helps.
