Never say Never
Pearce - arrival USA 1863
« on: Sunday 09 October 05 17:03 UTC (UK) »
Hi, I have been trying to find records of Robert Pearce arriving in the USA.  Does anyone know what ship he and his family sailed on from England to America?  There was Robert and his wife Sarah (nee Brown) and their children - Elizabeth, Robert, Mary, Thomas and Charles.  They were from Porlock, Somerset, originally but moved to Cardiff, Wales.  Any help would be much appreciated.

Many thanks
Wendy

Robt. Pearce, 45, mechanic
Sarah, 46
Elizth. 17
Robt. 11
Mary, 9
Thos. j., 5
Chas., 2

On 30 April 1863 the John J. Boyd with 767 Mormons aboard sailed from Liverpool again under the command of Captain J. H. Thomas. Elder William W. Cluff presided over the Saints, assisted by Elders Knud H. Bruun and William S. Baxter-three of nine returning missionaries. Most of the emigrants were from Denmark, Norway, and Sweden. During the twenty-nine-day voyage sanitation and food were commendable. The emigrants sighted a number of icebergs and whales. The vessel arrived at New York on 29 May.
