Settled in Brooklyn. First job 1858( in the Bklyn directory) Asst Post Master @160 Grand Ave, Bklyn.- Living North 1st St. near Metropolitan Ave. Brooklyn, NY. Michael had a brother Edward who attended his funeral in Bklyn, NY Michael marries (around 1858) - Mary J. Goodwin. (catholic -born Ireland 1832 and may have been married before -- has one known brother named Thomas Goodwin--was Post Master of the Williamsburg Brooklyn PostOffice in 1859-1861). - Michael and Mary J had six children that lived - Sarah J.;- John F.; James E.; Mary (marries someone--she or her daughter worked at Brooklyn Water Co.); Theresa; Michael J.
