Dear Folks: If you had Scottish coal mining ancestors who came from Cape Breton, Nova Scotia to the coal mines of Carbon and Luzerne Counties, Pennsylvania (and perhaps elsewhere), you might be interested in the following list of passengers from a photocopy of the original hand-written document: All (male and female) are listed as "miners". All were originally from Scotland and all intend to make the US their new home. Below are the names as best I could make out, with ages and sex included. Copy of Report and List of Passengers taken on board the Brig Charles Hammond of New York.bound from the Port of Sydney, Cape Breton for Boston. [Arrival date 4 June 1844.] Agnes Nu. 10 female Robert Dunn 60 male [my 4th great grandfather] Elizabeth Dunn 58 female [my 4th great grandmother] Robert Dunn Jn. 4 male [my 2nd great grandfather's older brother] Sarah Means 40 female Sarah Means 2nd 12 female James Hunter 32 male Agnes Hunter 34 female James Hunter Jn. 12 male Agnes Hunter 2nd 6 female M.nte.y Hunter 3 male John McCaa 21 male Rosina McCaa 27 female *Alex McCaa 24 male Mary McCaa 22 female Elisha McCaa 1 male Wm. Munroe 26 [?] male Rob. Munroe 24 female Margaret McVee 18 Wm. McVee 9 Louisa Fanning 16 Ellen Winter 1 *Alex McCaa later went into a coal mining partnership with my 3rd great grandfather Robert Dunn. See History of Luzerne County (by H. C. Bradsby, 1893) on the history of the McCaa family. I know the McCaas and the Dunns settled in Carbon County and attended the Beaver Meadows Church. It is likely others on the list did also. My 3rd great grandfather Robert Dunn arrived in the US a year earlier on the 31st of August 1843. However, the name of the ship is not listed. Sources: Ancestry.com.
