Chivers family in Pennsylvania

[LilyAllenfan86]

I am looking for information on a Sampson Chivers and his family, Sampson had been born in Rowley, Worcestershire, England in 1836 to Josiah Chivers and Mary Rendle, in 1858 in Birmingham he married Mary Round (b1837), and in England they had one son named Sampson in 1866, then at some point between his birth and the birth of their daughter Mary Ann in 1870 they emigrated to the United States of America I have them in the 1881 census living in Shafton, Westmorland, Pennsylvania where Sampson is working as a coal miner and has two further children Dorcas (b 1872, Penn) and Matthew (b 1879, Penn), Mary Ann was also born in Pennsylvania.
 I would be very grateful if someone could help me out with his family in America i.e any emmigration records for when they arrived in America, maybe more census records or marriages, deaths of them.

Kind Regards

On the ship Kangaroo from Liverpool to New York, arriving 2 Jun. 1865, there is a Samson Chivers, male, age 27.  His occupation is hard to read, but might be miner.

It would appear from a family tree entry that Elizabeth married someone of the surname Bell. Elizabeth died in 1919 from Influenze. The couple appear to have had 2 children Ruth 1919 -2001 and Elizabeth 1917 - 1999. Those 2 girls appear on a 1930 Census with a Matthew Bell who seems to have remarried.
