In April 1785, an Albany newspaper noted that Alexander Laverty, a "tayler from London," had opened a shop in the old house of Henry Hart - "cheap as any in town."

In December 1784, Alexander Laverty married Elizabeth Riddel at the Albany Dutch church.

We seek information on his origins and later life. Was he the Alexander Laverty configured on the census of 1830 for Dexter, Michigan with two men in the household over 55 or 65 years old?
