I am currently researching George Bussey who married Mary Wheeler Sippell (1815-1904) before 1840 in or near Utica, NY.

Mary W. Bussey appears to have been widowed or estranged from George Bussey by 1850. She had two children Frances L. Bussey born about 1840 and William George Bussey born about 1846.

Frances L. Bussey married Samuel A. Field and lived in Milwaukee, Wisconsin.

William George Bussey (1846-1904) was born in 1846 in Utica, NY. He went to school at Hamilton College and later Yale Law (1868). He married Grace Fletcher Trufant in 1875 in Lynn, Massachusetts.

The only bit of information I have for George Bussey is that he was purportedly a civil engineer (per William G. Bussey's obituary).

Would anyone have any idea where "marktl gravitz" or "markt grauvitz" would have been? This place name appeared on an mid-1890s passport application in New York. I've run several variations through Google Maps and have yet to get any hits. The surname was Seibold (various spellings).

I am seeking information on Robert Curry who was born in Ireland (Northern?) between 1791 and 1797. He emigrated to New Brunswick in 1816. The tax payers rolls of St. Patrick Parish listed him as head of the household by 1846. He resided in St. Patrick with his wife Abigail in 1851. She was born between 1809 and 1812 in Ireland. His occupation was listed as farmer/blacksmith. Robert Curry was granted land in St. Patrick Parish in 1854.

The 1861 census shows that this couple lived in Dumbarton Parish. His occupation was listed as blacksmith. They were Presbyterians. Because of the age differences, I believe that Abigail may have been Robert's second wife.

To date, I have yet to find mention of this couple in any online or library sourced genealogy. I do, however, believe that they had at least two children; Martha Ann Curry born between 1826 and Mary E. Curry born in 1830.

In August of 1882, Martha Ann Curry and her husband Isaac PORTER and Mary Curry and her husband James SLOANE LOWDEN transferred lands which had been granted to them by Robert Curry. 

Robert Curry may have descendants through the line of Eben PORTER and Hannah CLARKE of Charlotte County NB. I would like to correspond with anyone who may have any insights into this immigrant family.

Would anyone have any family information on the family of Ralph Taylor who settled in Charlotte County NB in 1784. He was a British naval officer (supposedly) and served under Mowat. He married and had children but haven't found any documentary evidence. He died in 1793 at sea during the war with the French.

Seeking information on the family of Elizabeth Urquhart who was born in Scotland in 1763. She may have been the daughter of Robert Urquhart and Anne (Crew?). She was in Nova Scotia by 1785.

Thank you,
