Also there is a J Walsh and wife and a John Conway on the ships list in 1812. If this is the kind of inforamtion that you are looking for let me know and I can point you in the right direction There is no family connection but I do dabble in research of the Hudson Bay families and the setttlers of the Red River Settlement.
