Richard and Fannie (Tippett) Angwin immigrated in 1842, from Cornwall, England, to JoDaviess County. The discription of there journey is recorded in a brief biography of Francis Angwin's brother, Wm Tippett, in the "1889 JoDaviess County Biographical Album" which states: Soon after their marriage Mr. and Mrs. Tippett emigrated to America on a sailing-vessel, and six weeks from the time of starting landed in Quebec, Canada. Thence they came directly to this county, via Lake Ontario to Kingston, thence to Buffalo, and from there to Chicago. From the latter point they journeyed overland to Galena, wher they spent two years, our subject most of the time engaged in mining on his own account. Thence they removed to Weston, where they lived three years, and in the fall of 1847, during the excitement in the lake Superior copper mines, Mr. Tippett went there with his wife and one child and spent five years. I am seeking any information, advice, help of any kind, in finding out the name and the type of sailing-vessel they came over on, how they might have come over-land (stagecoach?), what conditions were like, etc. Do any of you have relatives that crossed that same year? I would appreciate anybody on the list that could assist in anyway, big or small. Thanks in advance for your help. Warmest regards to all, Richard Angwin
