Mary MacEachern born 1808
« on: Sunday 02 January 05 12:39 GMT (UK) »
Hi,

I'm trying to find information about the parents and siblings of Mary MacEachern born December 8th 1808 who I believe was born in the Kintyre area.

She met and married John Rossiter from Wexford, Ireland and they were married on Prince Edward Island, Canada about 1827. The couple eventually moved to the USA.

Mary died on December 12th 1874 in Fort Howard, Brown County, Wisconsin, U S A.

Any information would be greatly appreciated.

best wishes

Kevin

But am wondering where the birth from Scotland came from? Ddoes Mary not state in 1860 & 1870 census that she is born P.E.I?

And if this is Lemuel in 1900, and am pretyy sure it is although he's taken off a half decade from his years, say his father born Ireland and mother born Canada

Here's Lemuel coming in through Boston Mass  ( the ship Lively Lass) June 22 1852 with mother & siblings William Mary  "CATH" & Maria https://familysearch.org/ark:/61903/1:1:KDRH-S8Q
and mother Mary says born P.E.I.

Here they all are as individual entries...daughter Mary is signed in as Mary Ann ...   http://www.rootschat.com/links/01eca/  Don't see John entering
Perhaps Lemuel removing a full decade from his age https://familysearch.org/ark:/61903/1:1:VNFY-JHM Even his grave says b. 1844 :)

re: John Rossiter ...His brother, Patrick if anyone wants to look at the Irish Rossiter naming pattern & Scottish naming pattern.  http://data2.collectionscanada.gc.ca/e/e325/e008114352.jpg

It appears Lemuel may be a name the MCeacherns used as here is an 1881 baptism in PEI altho may just be coincidence... https://familysearch.org/pal:/MM9.3.1/TH-1-12692-15726-20?cc=1827217
They resided Brackley Point before that birth, if you want to see where this fellow originated  http://maceachernfamily.info/pei/queens.html
