For those that are following canal history or perhaps the history of the Traver family, I just found an interesting tidbit:
In the 1890's by the appointment of Superintendent L. H. King:
State Scow
CAPTAIN: Daniel Baldwin
TEAMSTER: James Blauvelt
LABORERS: Theo. Filkins, James Traver, Abram Coppernoll, Jas. D Dixon, John Richmond, Patrick Campbell, Edward Moll.
COOK: Mrs. James Traver
FOREMAN CARPENTER: Wells King
DISBURSING CLERK: B. R. Lathrop
Now we know that James Traver and his wife were on the canal by appointment on a State Scow, with Captain Daniel Baldwin.
Hopefully a listing can be found from 1880 that would tell us the same for A. Eugene Wilson.
