Your screen shot really caught my eye. I have two ancestors who lived on Richmond St. and worked nearby. I might have even found a clue there to a wife’s family business.
I’m so glad I am going through all your Alphabet series of posts. Thank you!

I found an 1854 and 1867 map of Rensselaerville, New York. My Ford family was listed on both maps.

And I hadn’t seen the 1855 Philly map … just found my great-grandmother’s childhood home on it and a little alley, no longer in existence, called Drum St., that must have been named for my ancestor William Drum, who owned lots of real estate in the area.
