OK, here's a call out to all Colubmia students -- help these folks out with
the quarry information for  the following request:

Do any of you New York based experts have any knowledge or leads on a Jaques

J. Mooney or perhaps Jaques and Mooney?  They or he were stone suppliers and

masons from New York in the 1860's.  Their business address was 349 West

45th street in 1868.


Here's what to do -- go directly to the Geology Library, go to the state
geological surveys of NY state for 1870, and for 1860, and the information
will be there, clear as day (with a little perusing).  Check the
advertisements, check the quarries, check the rEgion -- theRe is a wealth of
information (this egghead did a thesis on building stone, and has never
regretted the hours spent in the dusty geology library stacks)

Good luck!
