Sounds like him time and place is right, Roseland is where I grew up in the row housing just a couple blocks from the place Pullman train-cars were made many years ago. Electromotive still was building train engines the last I heard I knew a guy that worked there.

America only has one issue, we have a Responsibility crisis and everything else stems from it.

Wife's 5th great uncle = Robert E. Lee. Yep...Confederate General R.E. Lee. You win. She and I joined a local genealogical society a few years back. They had detailed records...Huxford Geneological Society. We located the entire family tree on her mother's side...all the way to England. It was interesting...we spent several days and hours at that place. https://www.familysearch.org/wiki/en/Huxford-Spear_Genealogical_Library

Have an ancestor, or a brother of my ancestor, who was a horse rustler. He rode with Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid and there are a couple of photos of him and the Wild Bunch. I didn't know much about him until my son did a school project and found some mug shots, records of time spent in prison, and stories about the Pinkerton Detectives trailing him and a herd of stolen horses. He was involved in the 1900 Tipton train robbery.
Okay, maybe not one to be proud of but at least interesting.

Related to the Hazen family,which was a prominent family in the eastern U.S. in the 18th and 19th centuries.They came over on the Mayflower,fought in the Revolution,was with Washington at Valley Forge.Their name appears on the rolls during many of the prominent Indian wars in the east.That's one side of the family,the other side came from Quebec,most of those records are written in French so we never had them interpeted.There was a lot of intermarriage with different tribes,if I recall right the term "half breed" came up alot.
