[TSL] Ship Sallie - Ireland to Charleston SC - 1801
Janet Winter <janwinter@mindspring.com> on 08/07/2010

Still trying to find ship's passenger list for my gg grandfather,
Andrew E. M) McWilliams. Born 1786 in Larne, Antrim, Ireland. Age
15 at emigration. Port of entry was Charleston, SC and he settled
in Laurens County, SC, near town of Cross Hill, SC on Cane's Creek.

My gg grandmother was Sarah Anne McGowan McWilliams. Born 1784
(or 1786?) in Larne, Antrim, Ireland. Age 17 or 15) at emigration.
Port of entry was Charleston, SC on the same ship, and I believe
she and Andrew might have been married prior to departing Ireland.

Others on the ship that I know include:
Patrick McGowan - Born about 1760? in Antrim, Ireland
Mary Thompson McGowan - wife of Patrick born in Ireland
William McGowan - Born 1787 - age at emigration 13 - son of Patrick
and Mary (sister was Sarah Anne above)
Janie (Jeannie) McWilliams - Born about 1794 - age at emigration 7
(Later married William)

According to a book published about the Reunion of the McGowan Family
held at Liberty Springs Church (Presbyterian) in Cross Hill, SC,
Aug. 3, 1915, Patrick McGowan, the McWilliams and other Irish families
set sail from Belfast in the good ship "Sallie" in the early part of
the year 1801 and after a long and stormy voyage reached Charleston, SC
in May of that year.

Their first attempt on the Sallie was in the fall of 1800. After passing
through the Irish Sea, the ship sprang a leak and had to put into the
harbor of Cork for repairs.

Of course, the spelling of the ship could have been SALLY. And it appears
that they may have sailed in 1801 from Cork - not Belfast.

Would appreciate any information.
