William Irving Alsop, son in law of Alexander Thompson

[jeanlit]

I have found the following in the New York Death Newspaper extracts 1801-1890 (Barber collection):
This was typed and is complete.

Friday 17 Feb 1843:
Thursday. Staten Island. Capt Alex'r Thompson in 75y son in law William Irving Alsop 30 Beach St
----
I have also found that Alexander Thompson was buried in the Trinity cemetery, Manhattan.

To confirm that this is the Alexander Thompson I am after, I have to find out more on William Irving Alsop.   

Can anyone help please?

Because I haven't had any replies and from various things I have found, I'm wondering if Alexander Thompson's son-in-law was actually William Irving HYSLOP, not ALSOP.  (Newspaper error ?)

There was a William Hyslop Thompson, who I believe could have been Alexander Thompson's grandson.

Can anyone help with this man please?
