Here is his naturalization record. The information matches up very close to the baptisms provided. They were married in Vermont USA. I have attached marriage records also. Though there could be transcription errors or failure to communicate in USA.

Thank you all for help and Merry Christmas as well; I was having problems locating anything from here or beyond.

Wola Gałęzowska belonged to Targowisko parish. I have found birth record for Zofia Połamacka. Here is the document and the translation.

This happened in the village Targowisko on 2/12 May 1894 at 2 p.m. Appeared: Andrzej Pomałacki, 39 years old, farmer from Wola Gałęzowska in the presence of witnesses: Stanisław Godos, 40 years old and Jan Kasperek, 37 years old, both farmers from Wola Gałęzowska and presented Us female child born in Wola Gałęzowska on 1/13 May 1894 at 6 p.m. with his legal wife Anastazja maiden name Szwałek, 45 years old.

priest Remigiusz Krześniak, Targowisko parish rector.

There was no birth record for Antoni Mazurek in Targowisko roman catholic church records. There is village Ponikwy in Targowisko parish. But maybe Antoni was born in different parish?

Antoni Mazur’s birth record is #110 in 1892. The following is a poor quality scan, but it clearly states that the father is Mateusz and mother is Franciszka Pastucha.

Can I suggest that because they were married in the USA and not in Poland, then there is no reason that they should have come from nearby villages back in Poland. Why isn't this the birth record for Antoni Mazur ????

110
Ponikwy
Antoni Mazur

This happened in the village Batorz on 24 May/5 June 1892 at 2 p.m. Appeared Mateusz Mazur, farmer living in the village Ponikwy, 50 years old in the presence of witnesses Wawrzyniec Januszczak, 40 years old and Szymon Trzciński, 50 years old, farmers living in the village Ponikwy and presented us male child born in the village Ponikwy on 22 May/3 June 1892 at 6 p.m. with his legal wife Franciszka maiden name Pastuch, 44 years old.

Edward,

Ponikwy is in lubelskie, but Ponikowo is in dolnoslaskie. Though the ship manifest reads Ponikowa, it does not make sense, because he departured from Trieste, which was usually the route for those who departured from southern lubelskie and Galicia as well.

I noticed Antoni mention he was going to his brother Andrzej but I could not find his entry to check his place of origin. Antoni also declared his brother-in-law, Wojciech whose surname I could not read, as the nearest relative in Poland.

Therefore, it is very likely they married in Poland. The distance between Wola Galeszowska and Ponikwy is small. Check it here: https://www.google.com.br/maps/dir/Wola+Ga%C5%82%C4%99zowska,+Pol%C3%B4nia/23-155+Ponikwy,+Pol%C3%B4nia/@50.918797,22.4767583,12z/data=!3m1!4b1!4m13!4m12!1m5!1m1!1s0x4722e25f285c2b8d:0x7ce7d3c25d04e5e2!2m2!1d22.5354766!2d50.9664647!1m5!1m1!1s0x47231f0682a6ee49:0xf752342b878b88e!2m2!1d22.5707697!2d50.8665369

You may want to check Lubgens website to see if anything else comes up: http://regestry.lubgens.eu/news.php

Also, FS shows a marriage record between a Zofia Pomalecka and Michal Moskal. The curiosity about this is that Zofia was born in Galeszowska and Michal's mother was a Szwalek. https://www.familysearch.org/ark:/61903/3:1:9396-WN3Q-WZ (now you need to have an account to view the record)

Merry Christmas!
