The table below contains 132 names, plus the occupations of those people.  Where only a surname was listed in the research paper, it is included in the list below only if there was also an occupation given.  This would be especially true where it was a business name like Smith & Son, painters.  If the paper mentions "Courtney & Lee, carpenters & builders", the two people were given separate entries.  Only by going to the paper would you see the name of the business and the address.  Most of these people were in Troy for more than just one year, but the research paper of Jeanne M. Keefe may have listed them only once.  The text might explain that the people in a particular list were new in the alley since a particular year.  You should examine that section of text to see what comparisons are being made, if any.  -- Cliff Lamere
