I need help in finding an 1867 real estate record to find the buyer's Manhattan address. My great-great grandfather, William Sheehan, bought land in Brooklyn in 1867.  He lived in Manhattan when he made the purchase. I have been trying for years to find out which William Sheehan in Manhattan he was so I can continue my research backwards, hopefully to Ireland. I would like to know what real estate records I could search in the hope that one might have his Manhattan address.  Then I'd know which of the multiple William Sheehans he was. On FamilySearch, I found some info in 'New York Land Records, 1630-1975' for Kings County. The info was in the Grantee records and Conveyances.  My William Sheehan bought land from William M Meserole and the basic info was recorded on 1 June 1867.  WS lived in 'NYC', ie Manhattan, and WMM lived in Brooklyn.  The land was in Greenpoint. No other personal data such as addresses. William Sheehan, wife Ann Frawley, and their first four children soon moved to Greenpoint, tho they did not live on the land which was used for dairy cows.  They had more children after that. I have done all the usual--censuses, city directories, naturalizations, death certs, interment lists etc.  I have good info from Brooklyn but just cannot break the brick wall of where they were in Manhattan. I need that to find relatives etc. to continue my research.  I believe they married about 1860-61, judging by children's births. Hope someone can help.Thanks, Virginia
