Hi there! Mary Hardy McGregor is (thanks to Ancestry for figuring this) my 4th great grand aunt.
For her, I now have the following facts:
1828 25 Dec
Birth
Linlithgow, West Lothian, Scotland
1842 Mar
Age: 13
Departure
Dundee, Scotland
(+/-, given standard length of sailing voyages at that time.)
1842 31 May
Age: 13
Arrival
New York, New York
1847 22 Oct
Age: 18
Marriage to John Mitchell
East Brooklyn, New York, United States
1870
Age: 42
Residence
Blue Mounds, Dane, Wisconsin, United States
1880
Age: 52
Residence
Riverton, Franklin, Nebraska, United States
1900
Age: 72
Residence
Willamett, Bellfountain, and Monroe Precincts, Benton, Oregon
1909 10 Jul
Age: 80
Death

I have her children as:
Eliza Sedgewick Mitchell 1848 – 1941
Mary Jane Mitchell 1850 – 1896
Anna Adamson Mitchell 1853 –
Margaret Fender Mitchell 1856 – 1943
Emma Ellen Mitchell 1858 – 1946
John William Mitchell 1860 – 1950
Robert Elliott Mitchell 1863 – 1946
Martha Stephen Mitchell 1866 – 1954
Boy Mitchell 1868 – 1868
Martin Mitchell 1869 – 1869
August Andrew Mitchell 1870 – 1879
I don't have any record of them in Patterson - for me their lives between marriage and the 1870 Census seem to be blank... do you have any information about that time? If they stayed near/with the Jarvis', it might help me track them also?
Thanks a bunch - and yes, isn't the internet a wonderful thing?!
