I am having a very difficult time locating information information
about my 2nd great grandfather, John Black. He was Irish and
born about 1835. I don't know when he came to US but married
Mary van Bell(from Holland) , probably in Brooklyn about 1856.
They lived in the Redhook Section of Brooklyn until moving to
Lower Manhattan on Wall St. in the early 1870's. He apparently
died there in the late 1870's but I have not been able to locate a
death record. His widow, Mary, and only surviving daughter, Lottie,
were located on Rector Street in the 1880 census.
Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated!
