Hi James, I think your family might connect up to mine somehow. My gggGrandmother Isabella's brothers went to Savannah (Hinesville, precisely) from Nova Scotia. Brother Donald, was the eldest brother, lived at "Stone House Point", near New Glasgow. Next was Andrew. Then followed in seniority Simon, John, and Alexander. Simon owned a plantation near Hinesville, Isabella and son George (Rev. Dr. Sutherland-Sydney NSW Au) visited them in Ga. It is now a developing "Sutherland Plantation Golf Course". There is much in the museum there about our ancestors I have heard. I have never been there. I have some interesting details on the descendents of Simon, the sisters Mary, Jessie, Lydia. Are we related somehow?
