I was looking for the father of James Sutherland. James was born around 1769 in Chatham Center, New York. Pretty sure this must be the right family. Our family line ended up in Illinois. A group of brothers, along with their father, sailed over on their own ship from Scotland. Not sure whether William and his sons sailed, or if William and his bothers sailed. Thus, not sure which generation sailed. Oral history indicates that ship was their own, common sense states that there wouldn't be a way for a family to afford their own ship?The family was Quaker. Perhaps the whole ship was family? Any help would be appreciated.
