My Scottish GGgrandparents came over on a ship from Ireland (spent 8 years there) arriving first week of January 1853 to New Orleans, LA and on to Mobile where they settled. According to a note by my Ggrandfather they went on a smaller boat to Mobile. I had the impression that Mobile must not have had much immigration during that period.
