Hi Cynthia

That should get you all set up with your companion's relatives to North Carolina. The 2 living contacts I supplied you will fill in all your missing information.

Cheers, Spanish Eyes

Looking for anyone with access to Scotland websites to find out anything on John Sabiston born October 14, 1843.

Also looking for his siblings and parents.....

Thanks,  Spanish Eyes

Hi there, I have a John Sabiston arriving to Nanaimo,BC aboard the ship Norman Morison on March 24, 1850.  He is the brother of James and Peter, who arrived in 1851 aboard the Tory.  A woman from San Francisco came into the Nanaimo Archives last week searching for information on  Shekshany Jane Sabiston, who was a native American born 1828 in Ketchikan, AK who married John Flett Sabiston in Fort Simpson in 1858.  John Flett Sabiston died in 1902 at the age of 74, which would put his birth date as 1828.  Could this be the same person?  Who is John Sabiston born 1843 then?  Your thoughts would be appreciated.

Hi Nanaimo

I will post you privately and give you an email address to contact me directly. The Sabistons you have mentioned are related however distant.......my John Sabiston came over with the Hudson's Bay Company in 1862 and ended up in the Red River Settlement of Manitoba.

doubt the lister is still looking in but just in case found a reference to his ancestor and although he knows the history I imagine, it is nice to see them in publications...Guide to the province of British Columbia for 1877-8
John piloted vessels I presume and peter was a hotelkeeper...
