    1. [SCCHARLE] Brick Wall - Help?
    2. White
    3. Thought I would approach my Brick Wall from a different angle: My ggg grandparents are something of a mystery. John Morrison b. in Mass., married Sarah B. abt. 1823, d. 1829 in Charleston. He owned a "Snow" class ship/boat named "General Geddes" with which he made his living hauling freight to the Caribbean or possibly England. Could someone help me locate information about shipping in the Charleston area during this time frame? Are there web sites where I might obtain information about John Morrison and the General Geddes? I am also trying to find Sarah B.'s parents. Her maiden name may have been Barkley/Barclay. She was born in Charleston in 1801. Following the death of John Morrison, she married William B. Harwood in 1831/32. Sarah died Dec. 23, 1876 in Mobile, AL. If anyone can provide any information that would point me in the right direction, I would be SOooo appreciative! Anne W.
