  • Notes 
    • !SO: H-009.
      BAPTISM: H-009. At the Parish of Dundee.
      IMMIGRATION: H-009 relates that John, his 2 brothers, and his father left
      Scotland to arrive in New York in 1849, but for some unknown
      reason they returned immediately to Scotland. However in the
      same year they again sailed for America, this time to stay.
      The events of their second journey are related in a letter now
      held by a family member (see H-009, P. 163) which tells a story of
      about 3 months of stormy seas, finally surviving on ship by
      collecting and drinking rain water and eating from small rations
      of dried beans and peas.
      NOTES: Not much is know of the early years in America, but from tradition it is
      believed that John first worked in the shipyards in New York. The next
      record is of his marriage to Jane at Galena, IL. Soon after their
      marriage John and Jane moved to Dubuque Co., Iowa whrer all of their
      children were born. In 1877 the family moved to Cherokee Co., Iowa and
      settled on a farm in Cedar Township.
      BURIAL: Cedar Cemetery.
