I grew up in a small town outside of Newark New Jersey called Kearny. That is where the Clark Thread Mill was located, I believe. Also, Congoliem Nairn, another Scottish company was located there. Both these companies imported workers from Scotland who located to Kearny, North Arlington and Harrison in New Jersey. My Grandmother ,who came from Johnstone, just outside of Paisley, said in Scotland they heard Kearny was just across the river from Brooklyn. We had the only Scottish Bakery I had ever encountered anywhere as a child. They sold meat pies and raisin squares, so much Scottish in that area. Maggie
