I'm looking for any information about or descendents of a family of McMullens that lived in New York City in the Chelsea area (West 20th - 30th Streets from 8th to 10th Avenues) in the late 1800s.
What I know:
James McMullen married Ann Jane McLaughlin somewhere, sometime (I have very little info on these two, and would love to have more).
They had 2 children, William J (born in NY, possibly Brooklyn, in about 1858) and Robert (also born in NY but about 1860).
The census says they were in the Chelsea area of Manhattan in both the 1870 census and the 1880 census.
William was my paternal great-grandfather. He was a postal carrier for years, was a president of some sort of postal workers organization, and was a member of the Emerald Society.
He married Annie Forrest (for more info about the Forrests see that forum - I put a long post out there about them) in 1886 and had 6 children - William J, Thomas F, Sam, Herbert, Edwin, and Forrest. Forrest was my paternal grandfather.
According to my father Bert may have emigrated to Canada to avoid the WW1 draft and Sam was a gambler (horses). Edwin did something with horses in WW1 and ended up as a driver for a rich man in either Westchester or Connecticut.
Annie, my maternal great grandmother, lived with Thomas and his wife Anna in Valley Stream NY until her death.
Any information about these McMullens or the Forrests would be greatly appreciated, particularly the eldest ones (James and Ann Jane).
I would really like to know what happened to Robert, too. I can't find him more recently than 1880 but can't find any death records for him either.
