My family got to Cleveland: Oil City Derrick from 1896 from the Oil City Derrick George Lewis born in Malmesbury Eng, May 20,1843 At the age of one his family came to the US of A arriving in Cleveland Ohio in June 1844. They came over on the Abbigon in a 42 day voyage. They went from NYC to Albany by river; from there they went to Buffalo by canal. From Buffalo they went to Cleveland on Lake Erie.
