I am trying to find a quick and painless route of identifying the name of
the wife of Samuel DESBECKER of Buffalo. He married a sister of Daniel SHIRE
(1826-1891). No mention in Adler & Connolly's excellent ">from Ararat to
Suburbia".

In addition, if anyone has access to Philadelphia port entries, I wish to
know whether a Charles KING (or Karl KONIG) entered in summer of 1857 (>from
Bohemia/Bavaria/Germany/Austria - customary interchange of country of origin
entries).

Paul King Jerusalem <samorai@...>
