"James B. Jacobs presents the first comprehensive account of the ways in which the Cosa Nostra infiltrated key sectors of New York City's legitimate economic life and how this involvement came over the years to be accepted as inevitable, in some cases even beneficial. The first half of Gotham Unbound is devoted to the ways organized crime became entrenched in six economic sectors and institutions of the city - the garment district, Fulton Fish Market, freight at JFK Airport, construction, the Jacob Javits Convention Center, and the waste-hauling industry.
The James Crow family immigrated in 1761 from Londonderry, Ireland to Nova Scotia, and settled in Windsor. Some direct descendants immigrated to Massachusetts in 1850, and some of these later moved to land near Topeka, Kansas.
John Fulton, of Scottish lineage, and his wife, Ann Boggs Fulton, had eight children. Six of their children emigrated about 1760 from Ireland to New England and shortly thereafter immigrated to what is now Colchester County, Nova Scotia. The six were: James Fulton (1739-1826); Thomas; Samuel (1745-1826); John; Francis (ca. 1753- 1838); and Sarah (d. ca. 1835) who married James Crawford. Descendants lived in Nova Scotia, New Brunswick, Quebec, Ontario and elsewhere.
Ralph Hunt (ca. 1613-1677), founder of the Long Island and New Jersey families, was among the first settlers in what is now Newtown, Long Island in 1652. He was born in England. Descendants and family members live in North Carolina, Ohio, Iowa, Indiana, Illinois, Oregon, California, Colorado, Kansas, New Jersey and elsewhere.
