His parents took him to the United States of America. He was recorded on the Foreign-born voters
list in California in 1872: Kearsing, George Thomas......63 in 1867......born in England......28743.
He was also in the 1850 census in Californa as George T Kearsing, born in England, working
as miner, age unreadable, Township no. 1, Tuolumne. Descendants, please get in touch! There is a record of George Kearsing, a Gold Beater, in the 1835 Longworth's American Almanac, New-York Register, and City Directory, page 402. As the Le Croissett family were in the gold and silver business, having married into the Wohlmann family, this could figure. George would have been the nephew of John Isaac Lecroisett who married Catherine Wohlmann. He appears again in 1850 in New York City in the Goldfoil business, recorded in Doggett's New York City Directory, for 1849-1850, page 234. There is also a mysterious entry in Doggetts for 'Daguerreotypes' against the name George T Kearsing, rather than plain George. George also appears in the record in 1850, although someone by his name, possibly his son born in England in 1821, is shown in California, Township 1, Amador, CA. There was a more likely entry along with others in his family appearing in 1850 in New York: New York Ward 17, New York, NY, age badly out. By 1870 he was with his brother and sister in California. Township 1, Amador, CA. This is where, 20 years earlier, the young George Thomas Kearsing was living. |
