  • He came with his wife and daughters and died en route. His daughter, Ann, received a ticket to board the Horizon, but passenger list records show that she did not disembark from the ship in America. Although family histories say that she and her brother, William, came to America and stayed in Boston to work, ship records indicate otherwise. They did not and were therefore in the Martin company.
