Blyth and Mary Ann Morter & family were in Ross County, OHIO, USA in
December 1851 according to a church baptism record and Stephen Cutting &
family were in the Canadian (January 1852) census in Ontario, Elgin county,
Canada. Seems they came between March - December 1851? Blyth, 33,
mason/stone cutter, Mary Ann Morter, 31, dressmaker, sons Alfred 6, William
9, Thomas 7, and daughters Elizabeth 4, and Emily 2.  I  have been unable to
locate the ship or their names on a passenger list.


Thank you so much.
