Once again I am going to ask if any member of this list has any knowledge of an Alexander Scot who sailed from Montrose in the summer of 1684 on the ship Thomas and Benjamin for East Jersey in the American Colonies. Our research on the Alexander Scot family is extensive from that date forward but nothing is known of Alexander's Scottish roots....his age at departure, his parents , or his family. We would appreciate any assistance even if it concerns descriptions of conditions which might have caused the migration that year of so many from Angus , Perth , and Aberdeen. We do know that many who sailed on the Thomas and Benjamin were Quakers . Are there Quaker records for members of that sect in those areas at that time? The Mormon records have been checked without success. Thank you all for your kind assistance to a very frustrated group of Scot descendants. Jessie Heinzman, California
