Person:John Barclay (12)

In 1825, John (Sr.) is living at 551 S. Second Street in Phila. and is working as a shoe maker. He lives there until at least 1841. In the early 1840's, John is listed as living on 5 East Second Street, in Trenton, which I believe is currently State Street, meaning that he lived near State and Broad. In 1854 he is listed as living at 37 Warren. In 1859 there is no mention of Andrew or Samuel. John Sr. is living Lamberton Street and John Jr. on Spring St. In the 1860 Census, Andrew and William are living with John and Jane in Trenton. In 1868, John is listed as a Constable, Samuel M. as a Bow maker both at 95 S. Warren. There is also a Mrs. Barclay (widow) living at 29 Allen. In 1869, Andrew J.
