    1. [BKLYN] Occupation of CARMAN in 1870 ???
    2. Does anyone know what the occupation of 'carman' meant in 1870??? I always assumed ( probably mistakenly) that it had something to do with trolley cars, either a conductor or ticket taker, but now I'm thinking it might be someone who pulled a horse-driven cart, as in moving materials or 'peddling' foodstuffs. Any educated thoughts out there?
