Hi,
Charzynski. While searching polish databases consider also Harzynski, because CH and H sounds the same in Polish. Also, transcription mistakes may have indexed them as Chorzynski/Horzynski.

Plock. A city, a county and a province by then. So Piotrków (or Piotrkowo, Piotrkowek, Piotrkowice, etc) in county or province of Plock. https://pl.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gubernia_p%C5%82ocka

Alexander was goint to a brother named Jozef. I have found a Jozef, from Piotrkow. His surname was misspelled as Chosinski in stevemorse.org > gold form > NY arrivals. He came with wife Apolonia on March, 25, 1902, ship Friesland, departured from Antwerp, Belgium. Jozef was going to a brother Stanislaw.

Is this draft card your Alexander? https://www.familysearch.org/ark:/61903/3:1:33S7-LBR5-K7G?i=981&cc=1968530 Is Alexander the father of Weronyka (born in the same place mentioned in the draft card). If so, your Piotrkow maybe somewhere near Mlawa.
