Limited Time Free Webinar: Catherine B. Wiest Desmarais presents "From Baltimore to Burlington: Hazen P. Day's Neighbors Bring Him Home"

I've been going through my 4th great grandfather Solomon Hartley's neighbors and associates in Philadelphia for years now, trying to see if I can find any more hints about his ancestry:

Some Notes on People living along Coates' in Philadelphia circa 1810)

Plus, today I submit a summary of people living at the same address as Solomon Hartley in the Philadelphia directories (1807-1814):

1807
Emlen's Court
Barber John M (1768-1828?) bricklayer Emlen's court
Hartly Solomon, rigger Emlen's court
Parker Phoebe widow Emlen's court

1808
Emlen's Court
Barber John M. bricklayer Emlen's court
Hartley Solomon, rigger Emlen's court
Miller Michael, shoemaker Emlen's court
Wiley (?) Richard (1765-1842), ship joiner Emlen's court
 (note: "Wildey Richard, shipjoiner, Emlin's court" in 1809 city directory: http://www.archive.org/stream/philadelphiadire1809phil#page/312/mode/2up)

1810
43 Coates'
Hartley Soloman, rigger 43 Coates'
Stackhouse H. [Hastings?] (1781-1840)hatter 43 Coates' alley

1811
43 Coates'

1813
49 Browne/Brown
Fisher, Jacob (1777-1850) 49 Brown
Hartley Solomon 49 Browne
Shaffer John, tanner back 49 Browne

1814
49 Browne/Brown

Fisher Jacob, carpenter 49 Browne
(note by 1830 Philadelphia city directory has him as "Fisher Jacob, house carp 50 Browne")
Hartley Solomon, mariner 49 Browne
Shaffer John, tanner back 49 Browne

I feel confident that he at least knew these people listed at the same address.  What relation or association they had with Solomon is as yet unknown, but they are leads.

I was very happy to see a similar FAN-type approach in a webinar presented this week by Catherine B. Wiest Desmarais, "From Baltimore to Burlington: Hazen P. Day's Neighbors Bring Him Home:"

A Maryland resident claimed an 1816 Vermont birth to Vermont-born parents, but no known record provides his specific birthplace or his parents' or siblings' names. Studying his ties to his neighbors and those associates who shared close geographic, vocational, political and religious proximity brings a Maryland man home to his Vermont family. Learn how the presenter analyzed, correlated, and  assembled common and lesser-known records to build a persuasive case.
