> Hi List, I found this entry on Ancestry yesterday: "Murphy, John J. produce 82 W Wash mkt h 333 S 8th JC" If JC means Jersey City (what else could it mean?) this might be my ggg grandfather who is listed as a retired merchant in the 1880 census in Jersey City. I know he was originally in NYC where his son was born. (He was also John J. Murphy, but that's a whole other story.) My question is where is 82 W Wash Mkt? Thanks for any ideas. Susan

>From an old NYC street map, there was a market that ran from Washington
St to West St and from Fulton St to Vesey St. It only says Market so I
don't know if this is the one you are looking for.
