If you know when he passed and it was in NYC you could possibly obtain his death certificate from NYC or the LDS in SLC, Utah I'm looking for the ancestors of John MCLAUGHLIN, a blacksmith who lived in Jamaica c. 1835 - 1885. I have tons of info on the family of his eldest son, William (1837 - 1892), who married Anastatsia QUIGLEY. Related families inclue GWYDIR, GREENE, CLARKE, CARROLL and GARRITY. (note, CARROLLS and GARRITYs are from Kings Co. NY)
