Around 1850/51??year may be wrong,
Hopkins Moody was at [River de la Plata] have been trying for along time to find info on this place.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/R%C3%ADo_de_la_Plata
This info from "WIKIPEDIA"The Free Encyclopedia.
The Río de la Plata (Spanish: "Silver River")—often rendered in English-speaking countries as the River Plate or the [La] Plata River—is the estuary formed by the combination of the Uruguay River and the Paraná River. It is a funnel-shaped indentation on the southeastern coastline of South America, extending 290 kilometres (180 mi) from the rivers' confluence to the Atlantic Ocean.
The widest estuary in the world, the Río de la Plata grows from 48 kilometres (30 mi) wide where the rivers meet to 220 kilometres (137 mi) wide to the southeast where it opens on the Atlantic Ocean. It forms part of the border between Argentina and Uruguay, with the major ports and capital cities of Buenos Aires in the southwest and Montevideo in the northeast.
The basin drained by the main tributaries of the Río de la Plata (the Uruguay and Paraná, and the important Paraná tributary, the Paraguay River) covers approximately one fifth of South America, including area in southeastern Bolivia, southern and central Brazil, the entire nation of Paraguay, most of Uruguay and northern Argentina. An estimated 57 million cubic metres (2 billion cubic feet) of silt is carried into the estuary each year, where the muddy waters are stirred up by winds and the tides. The shipping route from the Atlantic to Buenos Aires is kept open by constant dredging.
Abraham James Hopkins Moody said that he had not had any letters from his brother sence he had gone to Argentina around 1850/51?????
; have been looking for this [River De La Plata] for along time.
why did he go there???
If he was in New York or Argentina in 1851 would he be on the census???
any help would be grateful
regards
Debbie
