We make so many cracks about Stocking and his errors; however, I have a new appreciation of his labors after writing 3 small emails summing up research. First, I made errors in transcribing the census record below. The men are all under 40; they do not include Elisha S. Mott. It should read 14 men 30-40, 10 men 20-30. I believe that the one man 15-20 is probably John Knowlton. My transcription of the women was correct, so I do not know who the old woman 40-50 is unless she is Sarah Earle, Daniel's stepmother and aunt, but that woman should be a little older. >Checking the 1840 census again, I looked at Daniel Nolton, 16th ward NYC, p 197. There are 14 men 40-50, 10 men 30-40, 1 15-20, and one under 5; one woman 40-50, one 30-40, two 20-30, two 15-20, two 10-15, and one girl under five. Plenty of room here for Elisha and Phoebe, Daniel and Caroline, and various others. Was this the quarry business? I was thinking the men were too old until I looked again at the men in the 1860 quarry and discovered that most were from 30-50.< Another discovery has been that Prosper was in New Jersey in 1840, in Livingston, Essex Co., with his wife and first two children, boys. Also a teenaged girl, probably a hired girl, possibly Miriam's sister or Prosper's. This is after he had the oysterhouse and before he was at the quarry in Hackensack. In addition, Prosper worked at a "refectory" at 31 Peck Slip in NYC, 1842/43. Any ideas what that was? Elizabeth W. Knowlton
