I'm helping a friend locate a g-g grandfather who passed on circa 1863-1868. Last known residence 1860 Ossining, NY...Westchester County. Wife & children appear in 1870 census, wife as widown, in Brooklyn, NYC. Irish immigrant, NAME: James Mc G A N N / M'GANN/ McGAHAN Westchester has no records except his application for citizenship, that was begun. It is logical that he was a Civil War vet, but no records match him exactly. Wife did not file for benefits, although she never remarried. It is most logical that being an Irish immigrant, appropriate age, non citizen, and era missing, that he served in the Civil War, but that search seems unlikely, unless he was affiliated with the naval/marine forces. He is not buried in cemetery with wife. No Westchester County cemetery in resonable distance to where he lived in Ossining, NY has any record of his burial. Searcher is presently viewing "Bodies in Transit 1860-1870." Potential there. All ideas welcome. Does anyone have experience with Fort Schulyer, Bronx, NY records [later US Merchant Marine Academy property], or records from its hospital? Wondering where the repository is for such hospital records; could not locate on NARA NYC site.

"Does anyone have experience with Fort Schulyer, Bronx, NY records [later US > Merchant Marine Academy property], or records from its hospital?" Fort Schuyler is NOT the U.S. Merchant Marine Academy. It is it's own separate maritime school. USMMA is across the L.I. Sound in Kings Point, NY at the old Chrysler estate. ----- Original Message ----- From: <MizScarlettNY@aol.com> To: <NYNEWYOR@rootsweb.com>; <NYBrooklyn@rootsweb.com>; <NYBRONX@rootsweb.com> Cc: <jackmcgann1@mac.com> Sent: Wednesday, March 25, 2009 19:14 Subject: [NYBRONX] 1860s death repository > I'm helping a friend locate a g-g grandfather who passed on circa > 1863-1868. > Last known residence 1860 Ossining, NY...Westchester County.
