After ten years of work/research, I narrowed my great grandfather's
death date down to between 1925-1930 through searching the all censuses
of Troy NY from 1905 to 1930. A friend who lives near Albany looked at
the fiche in the Archives building (Heath Dept) and found the below:

James P. O'Conner, dod Jan 16, 1926, Albany
James Connors, November 3, 1928, Troy (mine)
James J. O'Connor, May 1, 1928, Watervliet
James Connors, January 2, 1929, Troy
James H. Conners, February 12, 1929, Watervliet
James O'Conner, December 17, 1929, Albany
James P. O'Conner, February 17, 1929, Troy
James Connors, January 23, 1930, Troy
James Connors, November 13, 1930, Watervliet
James O'Connor, March 25, 1930, Schenectady

It is amazing so many with basically the same name, living in the same
area, died within 5 years of each other. Maybe, this info will help
someone else besides me. Today I sent away my great grandfather's death
certificate which will hopefully give me his parents' names. If so, I
will have proof to either validate or negate my assumptions. If not,
since I also was sent his obit from the Troy Record, I found a sister
living in Albany at the time of his death that I didn't know about. So,
I will look for her marriage and death date and send for her records if
I need to...and the hunt goes on. Another interesting twist, I found
one of my grandfather's brother still alive. Family lore had him dead
before 1920. So, need to rethink that one.
