Hi, I see that you're looking for a Hugh Withers and a Robert Black Withers. I am the great-great grandson of Robert Black Withers, who also had a brother Hugh Withers.  They too were coal miners from Plean, Scotland.  What information, if any, do you have about them? I also may have information you are looking for.

Hello Steven

Welcome to Rootschat.

It is jval that is making the enquiry - I am just doing the looking up.  So pleased you have made contact though - Robert Black Withers seems to disappear after the passenger list entry in 1924, so I have still been looking for him.  Did he stay in the USA  ?

You will need to post 2 more messages before you can use the personal message system to communicate privately with jval.

If we are talking about the same Robert Black Withers, then yes, he did stay in the USA.  He is my great-great grandfather, and he came here in 1924 with Hugh Withers, who is my great-great uncle.  When they arrived here in the US, they moved to Ernest, Indiana to work as coal miners.  Is jval related to Hugh Withers?

I would think jval would be related - having researched the Withers family and only having 1 brother David to find. 
Just make one more reply, then press on jval in the margin, that will take you to another screen - where it will say "send this rootschatter a personal message"  You can then begin your private conversation, exchange e-mail addresses or whatever.

Regards.
Sandra  ;D

Give me a clue - where was Robert Black Wither/s the First - 1906  ;)  The nearest I have got was someone in Florida that died in 1980 but the birth date was 27 Feb 1906 - it was the surname that was'nt quite right ? SSDI issued Ohio

Then perhaps one around 1927 - Robert Black Withers  2

Then  Robert Black Withers (the third) 28 Sept 1952 Ilinois married twice.

Robert Black Withers Four - 1981 Texas
