Have you checked Historical NY Times and histrical papers available via geneaolosy bank. Just curious, how was the DNA proved for colonial staples ?? Did someone trace the 's into the 21st century ?? Background: There were three New England STAPLES clans in Colonial America, Peter in Maine, Jeffrey in Mass. and Thomas in Conn. Recently a researcher has found that Jeffrey and Thomas were related, this also proved by DNA testing. I am descended from Thomas. ************************************** See what's free at http://www.aol.com.
Since my 'brick wall' person lived in Manhattan I thought I would post one try to get some help. Excuse the lengthy details. Thanks for reading. Background: There were three New England STAPLES clans in Colonial America, Peter in Maine, Jeffrey in Mass. and Thomas in Conn. Recently a researcher has found that Jeffrey and Thomas were related, this also proved by DNA testing. I am descended from Thomas. There was a Staples in New York City in the early 1800's who I have been trying to connect with one of these groups, without success. William J Staples, b. abt 1810 in New Rochelle, d. 1883 Manhattan, NYC. m. 8/23/1838 Hannah M Wright. William & family went to Harve, France abt 1843, he as US Consul. They returned to New York from France in Oct,1849. Children included Wright b 1840, Ernest b 1842, Francis b 1845, John b 1846, Gertrude b 1848, Fanny b 1852, Edith b 1854. All born in NY except Gertrude who was born in France William died in 1883 and is buried in St Pauls Cemetery in Manhattan. Son Ernest died in 1906 and is also buried in St Pauls. William was close friend of Gov. Tompkins, bought land on Staten Island in what became Stapleton. Gov Tompkins bought land in what became Tompkinsville. I have info on the children but have been unable to determine his parents. I have his obit, no mention of parents. I have all of the testimonials from his appointment as Consul, no parents mentioned. No siblings mentioned anywhere. Searches in Westchester have found nothing. William and family are in the 1840, 1860, 1870, 1880 census. Cannot find them in 1850, the year after they returned from France. BILL STAPLES Researching STAPLES, HOLMES, ELMS, DEHART, SHERWOOD, NICHOLS, COSMAN. Website: www.wstaples.net
I've come across a mention of a store named Staples & Pelton in New Rochelle, which was being dissolved in 1796 (1796 Jun 28, Greenleaf's New York Journal and Patriotic Register). Also, an 1803 news item mentions a John STAPLES (apparently with an office at Wall Street) selling property in New Rochelle.

Bill-- Have you located WJ's marriage record? Even if it doesn't name his parents, it may be possible to locate a microfilm newspaper mention of the marriage, and perhaps that would name the parents, as well. Do you know what religion he practiced? Searching the STAPLES surname in church records of that denomination in Westchester county may lead to parents' names. I imagine you already know where he is buried and have checked there for other family members.

Census records from 1840 and earler only denote head of houshold name and then specify ages of others in the household and gender. U specofy NY, do you mean New York City ?? With a name like Jones it is almost an impossibility to find anything unless you have birthdates. Bob, FL Usa ************************************** See what's free at http://www.aol.com.

You could check to see if there is a mailing list or a message board for that last name at RootsWeb.com, and if there is you could post it in those places, too.
