#52 ANCESTORS - Week 14 LANDED

 LANDED

All of our lines include immigrants (which is an obvious statement). It appears most are in the mid-1860s and came to the United States because they were affiliated with the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints.  There is one that appears to be an early member of the Massachusetts Bay Colony.  I'll list below those that I can find immigration records for.

John Burt Jr.  - lived in Scotland and immigrated from London through New York City in July 1864.  He came on the ship Hudson with his mother, siblings Isabella, Margaret, Jane, Mary and Adam, and maybe a cousin Peter Burt.    (I don't know what the difference is between the two lists of names.  I need to learn about that.)




Thomas Seddon - lived in Worsley, Lancashire, England, left through Liverpool, 5 Sep 1849, ship Berlin to New Orleans (one other notation in FamilySearch says he was on a different ship a year later.  I need to do some digging on that one.)

Phillip Nephi Margetts - from Warwickshire, England, arrived in New Orleans 15 Apr 1850.



John Whipple - from Essex, England - died in Essex, Massachusetts, Colonial America in 1669.  I don't know how correct this info is.  It's in FamilySearch.  

Peter Christian Peterson - from Mygdal, Hjorring, Denmark, immigrated through New York August 1862.  

Christine Sorensen - from Storvorde, Alborg, Denmark, immigrated in 1862.

Samuel Joseph Short from London, England, immigrated May 1863 through New York.

William Clayton - from Penwortham, Lancashire, England, immigrated 11 Oct 1840 through New York City aboard the ship North America.

David Webb - from Gloucestershire, England.  FamilySearch entries note that he immigrated with the saints.  

Caroline Amelia Knowles from Manchester, Lancashire, England, immigrated with David Webb.

Sarah Ann Blenkhorn from Yorkshire West Riding, England, immigrated to Ellis Island on 30 Nov 1894.


Charles Cottrell, Jr. from Reading, Berkshire, England, immigrated to New York 29 Oct 1880 with parents and a number of siblings. 


Charles Layton from Northill, Bedfordshire, England.  FamilySearch notes he immigrated 23 Nov 1850 through New Orleans.
