I would try Kings County and New York County civil court records. The NY ones are in the Division of Old Records 7th Floor, 31 Chambers Street.
Also, try the New York Times, Brooklyn Eagle, and other newspapers as notices were put in many NYC newspapers. The Brooklyn Eagle is available on fultonhistory.org Other newspapers can be found on Proquest from your local libary.
Good luck.

Look for his naturalization. Often times it was an opportunity to change surnames.
