Could someone who has access to "Generations", volume 20:2 (Summer 1998) pp. 26-27 do a lookup for me and give me any information regarding Thomas Blackburn. Thank you Shirley

Shirley The only information on Thomas Blackburn is as follows: The list of passengers all from Yorkshire who sailed from the Port of Scarborough, England, 12 April 1774. It is said by some that the ship(s) were destined for a New England port but were blown off course during the voyage and the passengers were disembarked in Halifrax, Nova Scotis, May 14/16 1774. Peter Wilson Coldham in Emigrants from England to the American Colonies 1773-1776 said the name of the ship(s) were unknown. A current internet site http://www.geocities.com/Heartland/Meadows/8429/unwlad.html refers to the ship as The Thomas & William or Prince George and lists the same passengers as does Peter Wilson Coldham. Thomas Blackburn, farmer, aged 28, wife & 2 children; same reason. one of the earlier passengers mentioned the reason was the high price of provisions.

Hi, I tried to access the internet site you sent but I cannot get to it. I keep getting a message that the page cannot be found. Can you help?

Upon a cursory examination of that issue, I do not find the Blackburn name, however that would not mean it isn't there. Do you have any idea what area in NB, the page or focus of the article where Thomas Blackburn was referenced? - that issue is 65 pages long and I don't really have time today to read through the entire issue. However, I would be happy to try to help if I can.

Sorry - just noticed your earlier reference to pages 26 & 27 and YES, Thomas is there as follows: It is a list of passengers, all from Yorkshire, who sailed from the Port of Scarborough, England, 12 April 1774. (there is a bit more descriptive here about their journey - if you want it let me know) From Emigrants from England to the American Colonies 1773-1776: 5-12 April 1774: By unnamed ship(s) to Nova Scotia, all from Yorkshire. Thomas Blackburn, farmer, aged 24, wife and child ; same reason. (same reason references other entries above his which I believe indicates that the high of provisions was his reason for leaving. There is also reference to another web site <http://www.geocities.com/Heartland/Meadows/8429/unwlad.html> which refers to the unknown ship(s) as The Thomas & William or Prince George listed with the identical passenger list. Let me know if you have other questions.
