| Information about Baltimore residents from the Navassa Island cases I have been able to find firm (or at least fairly firm) addresses for several of the Navassa Island workers. The trial records will probably have more information about where the workers came from (the Supreme Court decision indicates that all of the workers' contracts were included as evidence). The men listed in the Galilean Fishermen's pamphlet who were convicted all served time somewhere in New York State, possibly Auburn, but there don't seem to be any records what happened to them. The intake records from the Maryland House of Correction, where 23 others served time, includes places of residence, and in 2 cases street addresses. * John Wing, sentenced to one year for rioting, lived at 212 S. Durham according to prisoner records (MSA S256-4) and the 1889 city directory. See the 1896 Bromley Atlas, pl. 5, block 1754. * George Lall, also sentenced to one year, was listed in the prisoner records (MSA S256-4) as living at 732 Wechir, an address which doesn't seem to exist. * Charles Smallwood, also sentenced to one year, lived either at 1020 Wilmer Ally or 421 Orchard St., depending on which of the two people in the 1889 directory he is. Both addresses are in the same ares: see the 1896 Bromley Atlas, pl. 2, blocks 556 and 500. * Charles H. Davis is listed in the 1888 city directory (not in 1889, which fits with his service on Navassa) as living at 53 N. Parrish. This address doesn't exist. * James H. Robinson lived at 414 Myrtle Ave. (1888 and 1889 directories). See the 1896 Bromley Atlas, pl. 2, block 556. * Moses Williams (Dakota) lived at 211 W. Hill (1888 and 1889 directories). See the 1896 Bromley Atlas, pl. 4, block 893. * Edward Woodfork lived at 115 W. Hughes (1889 city directory). See the 1896 Bromley Atlas, pl. 4, block 894. |
