My Brooklyn Connections: William James BADGER, (b. 1862 Tyrone, Ireland) md. Elizabeth LAWSON (b. 1856 Bklyn) in Brooklyn, 1879. Abraham LAWSON, seaman, (b. 1814 Ireland or Sweden) md. Elizabeth HAMILTON (b. 1814 Tyrone, Ireland) in NYC, 1846. In Brooklyn from 1850 to 1904. (Ignaz) Joseph STOLL, shoemaker, (B. 1832 Rhein-Bayern) md. Elizabeth BERBERICH (b. 1830, Rhein-Bayern) in NYC about 1856. Michael SCHREIER, tailor, (b. 1832, Bavaria) and Charlotte KOENIG (b. 1833 Worms, Hessen) never married that I can find. They had 9 children. Andrew (Andreas) HANSEN, fisherman, (b. 1877 Norway) md Elizabeth BADGER Hickey (b. 1880, Brooklyn) in 1910 in Brooklyn. Heinrich Muller (Henry MILLER), tailor, (b. 1832, Minden, Hannover) md. Barbara KROPF (b. 1833 Bavaria) about 1857. Henry BAUMANN (b. 1864 NYC) md Anna MILLER (b. 1870 NYC) in 1889. Finding Abraham LAWSON and Joseph STOLL prior to their marriages is my stumbling block. In Abraham's case, depending on whether it's the census or naturalization records, he was born in either Sweden, at sea, or in Ireland.
