  • Name Marlin MONTROSS  [1
    • Marlin went to Marietta shortly after his marriage, where his brother David was already living. He was in Bedford town, Westchester Co., in 1850, a milkman, but went later that year to New York City, taking with him his 3 youngest children and his nephew James H. Montross, son of his brother David of Marietta. On 9 Aug. 1851 he leased for 5 years a 4-story brick building at 422 Fourth Ave., to be used as a dwelling and a milk and butter depot, the rent being $500 a year. Apparently the milk business did not prosper to his satisfaction; he assigned the lease 18 Feb. 1853 (Deeds, New York Co. 624:618) and soon after opened a grocery store at 174 E. 33rd St. in a $2,000 brick building. there we find him in the 1855 New York State census.
      But the grocery business did not turn out well either. In June 1856 his brother Lockwood in Chenango, NY, lost his wife, and Marlin with his 20 year old daughter Mary went to keep house for him. Elizabeth may have gone to her sister Maria's home in Marietta. Lockwood married again in 1857, and Marlin moved to Binghamton. There on 29 July of that year he purchased a small lumber mill on the Susquehanna River , known as the Conklin mill property, mortgaging it for $1,800. He subsequently added another mortgage, which was foreclosed in 1869 (Mortgages, Broome Co. 26:118; 63:278). then he turned to carpentry. In 1860 his property consisted of $1,800 in real estate and $300 in personal property. In 1870 his estate had shrunk to $250 of personal property. After the death of Elizabeth, he lived with his son Cicero, then a carpenter residing on Court St., Binghamton. [1]
