New York assistance please - SEASTEDT/SESTUT and ROSE/ROOS

[Beg Clonrode...]

Hi all...

A thread on the NZ board has turned up a possible New York connection. Would appreciate any general advice and thoughts :-)

The New York connection starts from around about reply #23

We think Frederich SEASTEDT and Adolph SESTUT are one and the same person who is mentioned twice in the 1870 census.

1870 US Census - 29th June 1870
5th Election District of the 15th Ward, New York City

Frederich SEASTEDT

Adolph Frederich SEASTEDT (possible surname variations are SESTUT, SJÖSTEDT and SUISTED)

Index to Marriages and Deaths in the New York Herald: 1835-1855
STEVENS, Eliza   Spouse : SEASTEDT, Adolf Fred
Date/Year of Marriage : Nov 27, 1852
Location : New York City
County : New York

I think Adolph and his wife Eliza are buried at Green-Wood cemetery in New York

Eliza SEASTEDT d.31 Dec 1873, Adolph F SEASTEDT d.18 Mar 1879
http://www.green-wood.com/burial_search/

Ancestry has Adolph F SEASTEDT naturalised on 29 Jun 1863.

Google mentions Eliza's Will in US case law as "Thompson v. Seasted 1875"

Would love to know what became of the two Swedish-born children mentioned as living with Adolph and Eliza.

Tyek/Tycko ROSE b.1851 and Ellen ROSE b.1856-ish.

Their surnames may have been americanized from ROOS to ROSE.

It may be Ellen arriving into New York on the passenger list mentioned in Reply #21 on the original NZ board thread.

Ellen seems to have had a birthday between the June and December enumerations.

Also anything on Adolph or the children which might link them back to a specific area in Sweden would be really helpful.

All advice welcome and appreciated :-)

There is a 30 Jun. 1863 passport application made in New York for Adolph F. Seastedt born in Stockholm, Sweden in 1809.  It looks like the same man was naturalized 29 Jun. 1863 in the Common Pleas Court in New York, New York.  It gives his address as 54 W. 12th St., which matches Adolf's address on the 1870 census.

Adolph filed a petition for bankruptcy in 1868 - http://www.rootschat.com/links/01984/

It looks like he was arrested in 1869, possibly for writing bad checks - http://www.newspapers.com/newspage/21222606/  (You can sort of see the text if you scroll to the bottom of the page.)

New York Herald
1 Nov 1869

Christian Ohm, the forger was arrested and charged with forging  the name of Adolph F Seastedt, 559 Broadway to checks on The Merchants and Manufacturer's and Market Banks resulting in the loss of several hundred dollars.  He was arraigned on a complaint by Mr. Seastedt and committed (jailed?) to answer the charges in General Sessions.  He stated he was 52, born in Germany, a cigar maker, and resides at 222 Grand Street.

Hi again...

Thanks for the replies :-)

From the US passport application info I've managed to find what I'm pretty sure is the Stockholm birth register entry for Adolph.

Also found a website mentioning the two Swedish children.

So lots of leads came from the info supplied by this thread. Thanks for the help.

If anyone's interested, here's the info that's been found...
