A correction. I have just viewed the 1860 Census, and in 1860 Joseph and Melinda were residing in Baltimore. His occupation is listed as "distiller." All but one child are listed as born in MD; only Sarah (the eldest) was born in NYC. The family moved back to NYC in 1860/61 (since my great grandmother remembered the 1863 draft riots; I believe Joseph fought in a NY regiment, as well.)
