He was originally from Scotland, born 1855. He immigrated in the early 1880's and took his oath about 1886 in Rockland. Census records show the following places of residence. 1892 (state) District of Haverstraw (with his 2nd. wife and 2 children presumably from his first marriage)) 1900 (federal),15 Alice Street, Haverstraw Village (5 children) 1910 (federal),Town Road, Stonypoint Town (same 5 children) 1920 family in Manhattan. He does not show with them. 1930 family in Manhattan. He does not show with them. He appears to have died in 1931 in County of Manhattan. The name of his first wife is unknown and his second wife is thought to be Lydia Bronson (born in New York abt. 1855/1856 died abt 1942). We have no marriage dates as yet. Between his 2 families he had 8 children, 3 dying as children. The ones known about are Jean (or Jane), John, Eva, Amelia and Frances. There is a Hall family burial plot somewhere along the Hudson but I am not familiar with the area so could use some help locating it. I'm assuming it would be near Haverstraw County? According to their web site Rockland County only holds marriage records from 1908-1935. Where would I look for earlier ones e.g. 1880's thru 1890's? I'm planning on sending off for his death and naturalization records to see what information they contain but in the meantime do any of you know what avenues I can research? Thanks. Carol
