In the 1870 Census a man matching this information is found living in Manhattan and working as a carpenter. Several other young, unmarried men in the same dwelling are also listed as carpenters.</p><p><br /></p><p>In the 1876, 1879, 1882 and 1884 editions of the Utica, New York&nbsp; city directory include Hugh M. Ritchie, variously listed as carpenter, cabinetmaker and furniture manufacturer.</p><p><br /></p><p>There aren&#039;t a whole lot of Hugh Ritchies in the mid-1800&#039;s US records and he&#039;s the only one I found with both the middle initial M and a furniture making occupation.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
