Rebecca Lee[edit]
Our sources for Hugh's parents and for Sarah's parents do not list any Rebecca siblings. That's in conflict with this quote from The Clan Linn:
In arranging for this long journey it was decided that the second child, William, a lad of eight years, should be left in care of his aunt, Rebecca Lee.
Who is this Rebecca Lee?
Immigration[edit]
The Irish Emigration Database seems to be fairly comprehensive in its records of newspaper clippings about ships leaving Ireland for the US. It lists these ships having left for Philadelphia (dates are of articles, not departure):
- The Brig Two Brothers To Philadelphia (Article on 17-02-1788. Departed Feb 17)
- Clearly Hugh wasn't aboard this ship as it crashed en route from Boston to NYC: "Date: June 18, 1788 Title: BOSTON, June 6. On Saturday last arrived at Salem Capt. Andrew BOSTON, June 6. On Saturday last arrived at Salem Capt. Andrew Slewman, in 45 days from Cadiz. The night before he sailed a brig arrived there from Philadelphia, belonging to Mr. Codman, of Boston. A letter from Newry mentions a report, that the ship Empress of China was on shore on the Saltees, near Waterford. The Two Brothers , Capt. Fielding, from Boston for New York, was totally lost two days after she left Boston, and four of the crew perished." (Pennsylvania Gazette. June 18, 1788)
- The Ship Rising Sun To Newcastle & Philadelphia. (Article on 18-01-1788. Intended to departed Apr 1. Looks like they got bumped to May 1?)
- The rising sun apparently was in the harbor for July 4th celebrations, but no word of when it arrived. (Pennsylvania Gazette, July 9, 1788)
- Ship Alexander, Londonderry to Newcastle & Philadelphia, U.S.A. (Article on 11-03-1788. Departed Apr 25)
