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.
