Palmer Crary b: 1819 towboat captain NYC
I'm looking for his ancestry, as well as the connection of this prominent New York City towboat captain to his probable descendant Palmer Hartell Crary b: 30 June 1877 NYC who was the son of Edmund C Crary and Margaret Bausom.Capt. Crary's obit and other info available about him gives a few clues but I can't find any indication that he's ever been researched by other genealogists.I'm doing this research to find a link, direct or otherwise, between Palmer Hartell Crary and the steamboat inventor Robert Fulton.A fascinating story, if you want more info, email me or here is my online tree.
