Unfortunately this is all I found for him.
I wish there was a newspaper article explaining more about his crime, although the record states he stole a vest, watch, chain, and jacket and $211, he also had 2 priors and was in Birdewell Prison. I searched Newspaper.com and Chronicling America (Free Newspaper site).
I love this old record though it listed his sister Mary and her married name.

It had its own quarry which they made bricks from.
