I found one Joseph Peterson in the 1810 census, living in NY County, and one on the 1820 census living in Washington Township, Sullivan County, NY.  The 1820 census indicates that the household consisted of  a male under the age of 14, a male 26-45 and a female 14-26 (wife & son?) 
I'd be happy to e-mail you a copy of the image if you want.

Hi Vicki

I've just started out looking at my family tree and have got as far back as my great great grandfather William Peterson. He was a sailmaker, born overseas around 1819.

He married Matilda Anscomb in 1844 in Gloucester.

His father was called Joseph.

I wonder if our trees may overlap?

Best regards

Claire Peterson
