Thank you very much for the message. Would very much appreciate a copy of William Portt's land petition - if it is already digitized, is it most convenient to send the file by email? to racewalker1950@yahoo.com

I wonder where the Portts and Sweeneys stayed after the Atlantic crossing which was most often in the summer to fall months. And if they needed time and a large city to accumulate supplies.

Do you recall which ship had the Sweeney reference?

Thank you again!

Kathy
