A week ago, cousin Bob Lynd and I went to the American National Archives in Washington, D.C. We were looking for the ship's list that documents the crossing of our ancestor Adam LYND from Cookstown, Co. Tyrone. We first consulted an index made in 1934 as a Depression-era work project: it said Adam, his sons Robert and William and daughter Eliza came on the Wellington; the date given was 6/1839. I spent the next several hours looking at alphabetical registers of ships' arrivals in New York for 1839. The Wellington arrived in January, May and September and left New York in June bound for London. Meanwhile, Bob was combing actual lists of the Wellington, looking for their names to no avail. Finally, we availed ourselves of the Archives' free access to Ancestry.com. A search for Adam LYND turned up the list and said they arrived on the Wilmot. It provided an image of page 2 of the list with their names on it. It also provided the accurate reference to the microfilm with the list on it. We put the list back up on the reader. The title page of the list said they arrived on the Westchester! The moral of the story is if you find a reference to one ship you have to check other sources to make sure some clerk didn't make a mistake in transcribing the information in the 20th Century! Anyway, the good news is that after I have searching for this list for fifty years, we now know that our common ancestor Adam LYND (at age 50, a farmer), our great great grandfather (Jenny's great grandfather) Robert (at age 21), his sister Eliza (17) and brother William (15) sailed from Liverpool on board the ship the Westchester and arrived in New York City on 26 June 1839. Adam declared his intention to settle in Upper Canada. What is curious is that Bob's great great grandfather Joseph is not part of the group, nor is his brother George. However, both were in Ontario for their weddings in 1840. Perhaps they came on an earlier ship. If you want to see the whole document in question, you can order the microfilm at your local LDS: roll M237_38, list #418 (near the end of the roll).

Hello James. In case you don't already have this, here is an earlier (probably immediately previous) generation of this family: In 1796, Adam Lynd, Joseph Lynd, and William Lynd were flax growers in Derrylorean Parish, County Tyrone while Adam Lynnd was a flax grower in Artrea Parish (http://www.failteromhat.com/flax/tyrone.htm - Flax Growers of Ireland, 1796 of County Tyrone from a list published by The Irish Linnen Board). I'm assuming that in 1796 your Adam would have been about 7 years old. I have to check my source on the following, but also in 1796 Adam Lynd and Joseph Lynd were registered as freeholders in Ballyreagh, Derryloran Parish, both with lands valued at 40 shillings. Adam was residing at Cookstown and Joseph at Ballyreagh. I am descended from Lynns of County Tyrone and have been studying all variations of the name in Scotland and Ulster. In Scotland, Linn, Lynn, Lind and Lynd (and their various corruptions) all were branches of the de Lynne family ("The Genealogy of the Family of Lind, and the Montgomeries of Smithton," Sir Robert Douglas, Baronet, Windsor, 1795), which likely derived from the Norman family de la Lynde ("The Norman People and Their Existing Descendants in the British Dominions and the United States of America," Anonymous, Pub. Henry S. King & Co., London, 1874). Some members of the different branches in Scotland migrated to Ulster in the 17th century. FYI, my Hugh Linn or Lynn, born in 1753, married Sarah Widney whose family reportedly owned an estate in County Tyrone. They came to the U.S. in 1788. I don't know exactly where he was born, but the name Hugh appears in Tyrone in 1776 and again (after my Hugh emigrated) in 1796.
