My great grandfather's name was Elias Einstein, who arrived in NYC in August 1848. On April 18, 1854 he became a citizen of the USA in Polaski County, GA. He was 24. He married a woman named Helena Springer and had 6 children. They lived in Macon, GA. During the Civil War he served as secretary to General Cobb at Andersonville Detention Center. He had been a cotton broker, but the war destroyed his business. In 1865 he was still living in Macon, but the family moved and eventually settled in NYC. Please contact me if you have any further information.
