  	The 1860 census records Charles as born in New Jersey, rather than having immigrated. Along with Charles in the 1860 census are enumerated a John & Sophia Sewards(?), ages 61 & 62, occupation Tailor, same as Charles. These could be parents of Mary (since we do not trust the birthplace information) or John could work for Charles, or vice versa.

• Notes

  Living with Ella and Frederick Reglin (same building) at time of death Immigrated to US from Germany 1854 Listed with occupation of "taylor" in 1870 NJ census Lydia Voss, age 7, bp NJ listed in this household1870. I believe she is probably also buried in the Schwass plot in Fairmount Cemetery. Her parents were probably Sophia and Charles Voss who died in 1865 and were the first people in the Schwass cemetery plot. First appears in Newark city directory in 1861, at 18 Murray, occupation tailor. 1901 Newark City Directory, still at 50 West Street, retired. 1909 Newark City Directory 56 Nelson. 1900 and 1910 Census records show Mary as the mother of 6 children, 1living in 1910, 2 living in 1900 (Louise died 1901) Charles is a naturalized citizen, Mary apparently is not. --Other Fields RFN: 14
