My 5 year companion is Guy Sabiston...We are researching and planning a trip to theOrkney Islands (house exchange in summer 2010..with a family in Kirkwall.
We have done extensive research on David Sabiston 1735 to 1750?christened in the Orkney Islands as far as we know..he immigrated somehow to Beaufort North Carolina..we know he was in Beaufort, NC ...he (David) ..owned property and was married there in 1775 to a Nancy Piner of the area...he was killed by a slave...who thought he was messing around with his girl friend..in 1811.
We have found no David Sabiston in the time frame except David Sabiston c 1737...father Thomas Sabiston, mother Agnes or Ann or Anna Gorie (Gorrie)...this one had siblings of John christened May 25, 1734 (thought maybe thismight be a distant relative of yours)...Next in line was David Jan 25 1937, Jannet Jan24 1938,Magnus Oct 19 1740, and Ann april24,1743..they were all christened on those dates..they were in the Lamb Holm area then near to Kirkwall...However, we are not sure if this is our connection or not...although researchers say there is no other possibility
I read all the Sabiston forum entries and once you mentioned somewhere that the first bunch of Sabistons went to North Carolina and later some to Canada....
Our David Sabiston had children here in USA too obviously but I will not go into them at this time...as I dont have the records in front of me now..
I was hoping perhaps that you knew WHO went to NC and When...we cant establsih that either or Where they would have gone from in Scotland or ships...Anything of that nature...we have not been able to find a David anywhere in any US immigration records..
Thank you....Cynthia
