ROBERT HENRY b ca 1700, Dalziel Lanarkshire Scotland
ROBERT HENRY (son of William Henry) m Elizabeth Mackie (b ca 1705)in Dalziel Lanarkshire Scotland on August 1, 1926.Children: Janet, Margaret, John, James, Mary, Bethea and William.ALL but William died at sea after 1740.William was born abt 1740 in Dalziel.Some researchers feel that Elizabeth Mackie may have survived.Either way, WILLIAM HENRY settled in PENNSYLVANIA.
WILLIAM HENRY was my 5th GrGrandfather.
Please, does anyone have knowledge of any records that could verify the deaths at sea, the survivor(s), and cause of death?I have been told repeatedly that the immigration records are very intermittant and more than likely, no records exist.
Additionaly, if my 6th GrGrandparents died at sea, leaving William an orphan, where would he have lived?How would I find this out?
ANY help will be very, very appreciated.
Thank you
Sandy (Henry) Larson
