RESIDENCE: Excerpts from letter by Janet Mahoney Corcillo, 3 Jul 2003 -
"I recently found that a house I lived in from 1945-1950 had been Landmarked as the Dr. James Boardman House. This is on the grounds of the formed Marine Hospital in Stapleton,Staten Island, NY...
"My curiosity drew me to search Dr.Boardman thru Censuses... I thought you might want to learn more about the history of the family on Staten Island.
"The 1850 Census shows James, Sarah and Anne in one location but Kingston 3 years old is listed with Grandmother Ellen Mudge at another location(in the same town)
"1860 Census shows all living together and by 1870 James and Ellen Mudge have died.
Kingston is a banker and in 1875 & 1878 he and Mathilda Boardman(I assume his wife) are Godparents to 2 daughters of Carl Julius Kullman & Louise Batz in the records of Trinity Lutheran Church, Stapleton, SI.
"I loved living in that old house. My Mom did so much work restoring it . It is a great old house. My Dad was also a Doctor. He won the first Lasker Award while we were living there and went on to become NYC Comm. of Health. The present owner is Bayley-Seton Hospital which is in the process of closing and I wonder what will happen to the house now."

The Judiciary Committee of the Twenty-eighth Congress of the United States received a petition in 1843 to redress the "injuries to persons and properties" of Mormons expelled from Missouri in the 1830s. This database is a listing of residents of Hancock County, Illinois who signed that petition. Compiled by respected family historian Lyman Platt, each record reveals the signatory's name, ward of residence in Nauvoo, and page in the original petition on which their name appears. The original document numbered fifty-nine pages and contained 3,400 signatures. For researchers seeking information regarding early LDS ancestors, this can be a helpful database.
