        • The Tristram family crossed the Atlantic on the ship Arkwright, arriving in New York on 6 July 1866. Overland company records list them as independent passengers, meaning, they paid their own passage. They brought their own food and did not purchase food rations using the Perpetual Emigrating Fund.  

          His birth date is found in England & Wales, Non-Conformist and Non-Parochial Registers, 1567-1970 and his death date from his obituary.
