Hi Everyone, I recently got the roll of film from NARA on the ship Hartley. Made copies of all the pages of that ship but haven't had time to check yet and see if anyone else looks like he or she might be a family member. There were 219 passengers aboard the vessel. IMMIGRATION DATA Ship - Hartley Departed From - Liverpool, England Arrived - New Orleans, Louisiana Arrival Date - November 6th, 1849 Following is information listed: 38 - Christopher FLINN, age 40, male, clerk, born Ireland Below were listed "Do" (Ditto) for last name same as above. 39 - James, age 30, male, Labourer, born Ireland 40 - Jane, age 30, female, born Ireland 41 - John, age 5, male, born Ireland 42 - Ann, age 3, female, born Ireland 43 - Andrew, Infant, male, born Ireland NOTE: Christopher Flinn although unknown was listed with the same family number which would probably indicate a relationship! --------------------------------------------------- Here's a synopsis of the FLINN - FLYNN family only. The WYBRANT's are related in the fact that James Flinn's wife was Jane Frances Wybrant, a sister of Andrew Wybrant also resided in McDonough County, Illinois. So..... James FLINN and wife Jane, children John, Ann & Andrew arrived November 1849 in New Orleans on the ship Hartley along with another family member Christopher Flinn age 40 (which I have not been able to locate anything on at all so far). Thomas, another son was b. 1846 d. 1847 in Dublin Ireland. James died 1854 and is buried in Fountain Green Cemetery, Hancock County, Illinois. All family members show up in the 1850 McDonough County, Illinois Census. They are living next door to Andrew Wybrant. Ancestry.com has them indexed as SLINN. My Grandfather, also James, was born Feb. 16, 1851 in McDonough County. Another child, Mary, was born and died 1853. 1860 Census - Jane Wybrant Flinn, John, Andrew, Ann & James are living in Lamoine Township, Colmar, McDonough County with Ann Wybrant, age 68. 1870 Censuses - Jane, John & James FLYNN are in Tennessee, McDonough County; Ann/Anna FLINN is now married to James BARKER and living in Lamoine Township, Colmar, McDonough County. Andy Flin is in Springfield, Sangamon Co., Illinois. He married Bridget HUNT in Macon County, Illinois January 24, 1877. 1880 Censuses - Jane FLINN, son James & Granddaughter Mary C. Barker (daughter of Ann & James Barker) are found in Hannibal, Marion County, Missouri. Andrew FLYNN & Bridget with children Joseph & Pearl are in Brookfield, Linn County, Missouri. John B. FLYNN is in Springfield, Sangamon Co., Illinois. He is living with Alice, a 6 month old daughter. Also living with John is his sister Ann Barkley (Barker) with her two eldest children, James & Maggie. Ann is listed as Divorced. Same year her ex-husband, James Barker, is living with his parents in Sheridan Township, Ottawa County, Kansas and listed as widowed. In November 1880 my Grandfather James FLYNN married Sarah Ann MANION in Hannibal Missouri. In 1881 they and his mother, plus all the Barkers moved to North Platte, Lincoln County, Nebraska where most died. Andrew FLYNN died in Grand Island, Hall County, Nebraska in 1887. His wife Bridget died 1886. Of their 4 children - Joseph, Pearl, Mary & Anna......Joseph ran away from wherever he was living at 16 (1894) and was last seen in Rawlings Wyoming in 1900; Pearl may have died young; Mary turns up in 1910 census married to Henry RITTER. Anna was raised in North Platte by Jane Frances Wybrant Flynn & Anna and Margaret Barker. John FLYNN remarried 1887 in McDonough County Illinois to Maggie/Margaret TARPEY - TORPEY. It states his 2nd marriage and that he was living in Minneapolis, Hennepin County, Minnesota at the time. John and Maggie wander around in Minnesota and have 4 children and then move to Iowa. Children were Frances (f); Viola; William & Henrietta.
