Trying to find information on my GG grandfather. I know that he came to NM in the mid 1800's, married a local (Francisquita Sanchez), had kids, was a lawyer, a minister and was also appointed Postmaster and later District Judge. He died in 1876.

What I am looking for is ANY information before he came to NM. Records show he was born in PA around 1828-1829. Lots of men with the same name in that part of the country back then, so I can't confirm anything that I find. Parents, birth date, siblings, anything!!

Thanks!
