The Roseanne (Roseanna)
Posted: Sat Jan 23, 2010 5:40 pm
Hey guys,
I'm looking for info on a ship called the Roseanne or Roseanna or something similar that left the Perth area (at least that's where my family is from) in/around 1803, it landed in Saint John (alt. St John), New Brunswick, Canada.
The three men on it that I want to find info on BEFORE they made it to Canada are John William Mac/McArthur, William John Mac/McArthur and Arthur Mac/McArthur- the last name Mac/Mc is debatable...it changes every time a son gets mad at his dad. lol Honestly I feel worst for poor Arthur and there are still John Williams and William Johns in the family.
Anyway, the records in Canada don't go back far enough to check this and all John's gravestone says is "From Perth"...Perth City or just Perthshire I don't know...I'm hoping that the ship's records might give me more to go on.
