There is another branch of Morsellinos who are connected to the Accardis I found recently.

When Rosario arrived to the US, he also came from Tunis and listed an uncle Salvatore Accardi as his relative there. Chances are that was Sam's father.

There's also a Vito Morsellino who married 60s captain Benny Restivo's sister.
Vincenzo Morsellino was Sam Accardi’s 2nd cousin once removed.

The other Morsellino bros that you found were more distant cousins of Accardi’s.

Benny Restivo’s BIL Vito Morsellino doesn’t look like he was related to any of them.

I posted a more detailed look at their ancestry on the Bonanno-Newark thread; I haven’t been able to connect Mike Adamo yet.

Born on 23 April 1899 in Montelepre, Sicily. He first arrives in the US in either 1920 or 1921. (He's not living with Battista and John in the 1920 census but is mentioned in the 1921 article as brother "Samuel" who wasn't arrested because he wasn't on the premises during the raid by Federal agents.) In September 1922 he was arrested for the murders of Gutman Diamond (a 17 year old bystander) and Albert Camera (an 18 year old participant) during a bootleggers' gunfight. Salvatore was put on trial for the murder of Diamond but not for Camera in 1923. Following a mistrial, Salvatore was convicted on the lesser charge of manslaughter instead of murder, sparing him the electric chair. Following the end of his sentence in February 1925 he was deported. But then in October 1925 he illegally reentered the US with Battista's help. His destination on the ship's manifest is listed as Detroit. I don't have any solid information past that other than his stay in the US seems to have not been long (or I'm totally missing something).
Salvatore DiBella stayed in the US at least till 1950.

In 1934, he married a Yolanda Lencioni, she was from Healdsburg, CA. This was where the DiBella bros had their company Diane Packing.

If his address, 502 Belmont Ave, was in Belleville, NJ; it would be a few blocks up from his brother Vincenzo DiBella who lived at 4 Chester Ave, Bloomfield, NJ.

In a Sep 1937 obituary of her brother, Yolanda is mentioned as living in Michigan. Salvatore was living there per his WW2 draft card (the DOB is wrong but his brother's address - 177 Boerum St, Brooklyn - is a match)

Image

He's also mentioned as a Detroit importer in a Jan 1950 article about their local opera company.

--------------

I don't know when he left the US but he was there by Jun 1970, per his brother Giuseppe's obituary. Interestingly, the latter lived in Windsor in Canada which is a city that borders Detroit.
