Naturalization declarations

Steuben County NY

Most of the names were readable but a few were not. The list here is with pertinent information only of those that wanted to claim allegiance to the United States. The County of Steuben is the place they have filed to become naturalized. The print was very faint in some places so I tried to place the names and dates to the best of my ability to read it.
