Date: Fri, 11 Apr 2003 18:55:06 -0400

Here it is, taken from the county clerk's office of Rensselaer in
Troy, NY. I wish I had a scanner or digital camera, but I don't and
can only type the following:
(I capitalized the hand-written in part)

State of New York, Renssselaer County, Troy Justices' Court
Alien's Declaration

Be it Remembred, That on the 27 day of OCTOBER in the year of
our Lord on thousand eight hundred FIFTY-FOUR I EDWARD

Court of the city of Troy, (the same being a Court of record, having
a clerk and seal, and made oath in open Court, that it was bona

Then, someone signed his name for him, wrote "his mark", and
Edward made his "X".
This was taken from Book 4, page 307 of City of Troy
Naturalization Index Rensselaer County 1844-1872 A-L
(Persons Naturalized in Justice Courts, City of Troy)

On the same page and the following page are the same sworn in
dates for Patrick Coffield (Caulfield), James Heaney and Francis
Heaney. The Heaneys are also from Longford. Caulfield is from
Roscommon.

As I have said, I cannot scan this, but am willing to fax it to anyone
who is interested within the USA.
