Dear List: Looking for Raycrafts from Ireland who arrived in Megantic Co. near Leeds QC in 1830. Some of them changed their name to Laycraft. I still have transcripts of records found at the National Archives regarding a petition made by passengers on the Bark Brutus from Ireland in 1833 to let them continue their voyage on to Quebec from Gross Isle quarantine station. The following names were listed: [list of the names of 62 passengers] William Newman John McCarthy Richard Waters James O'Brien John Leary Martin Waters Joseph Raycraft Peter Barrett Tim McCarthy James Mahony John Eahlane Daniel McCarthy Henry Talbot Timothy Hayes William Barry Thomas Talbot John Bryan Denis O'Shea James Talbot Thomas Halahan John Lyons Richard Talbot Thomas Leary Timothy McCarthy Jeremiah Shea Patrick Leary John Brabil John Talbot John Vail Richard Hayes Davis Shea Denis Desmond James Joyce Cornelius Shea William Woulfe Thomas Woulfe Timothy Shea Timothy McCarthy Thomas Brabil James Shea Michel Drommey Timothy Lynch Daniel Donovan Michael Vail Guy Sullivan Con Driscoll John Sullivan Patrick Shea J?
