James Cosgrove 1824 Brooklyn/Port Jefferson, NY
I am seeking information regarding the parents of my g-g-grandfather, James Cosgrove.He was born in Dublin County, Ireland in 1812 and apparently came to the U.S. in 1824, possibly to Brooklyn.No records appear to exist regarding his parents and whether he came to US with them or with someone else.He became a lightship keeper and lived for a time in Port Jefferson.Question how and why he learned to sail a lightship. Any help would be appreciated.With thanks, Barbara
