They brought their family to America about 1815 or 1816. Do you have the story of the shipwreck on their way over? I also have not found what ship they came on. George had a brother Jacob and 3 sisters, Margarett, Catherine, and Mary. Is Nettie L and Jeanette L. the same person? You can email me at [email protected]
