William C. Kingsley 1860 Brooklyn
I am researching William C. Kingsley who was quite influential in the building of the Brooklyn Bridge.Supposedly he was from Fort Covington, NY but cannot find anything that leads to him there.He first shows up in the 1860 Census in Brooklyn, married to a woman named Sarah.Does anyone know where he came from and who were his parents?Legend has it that he changed his name from Kinsella to Kingsley, but I cannot find concrete evidence of that either.
