Lois, that would be nice.  How do we go about doing that?  Where does he live?

I have been researching Isabell(a) Spowart Burt McArthur of New Era, Oregon.  My grandmother passed down some quilts made by Isabell and a very large portrait of her as well.  I have recently had the quilts looked at by a quilt historian, the main fabrics are from the 1820-1900. Some of the cloth (black ones) were mourning cloth, some probably other clothing. They are beautiful quilts with no signs of wear.  They were made for my grandmother, Veda Alice Brown Schroeder.  I would be happy to post pictures, but I am not sure how to do it on this site.

Birth:  Sep. 9, 1843
Glenrothes, Scotland
Death:  Feb. 6, 1944
Canby
Clackamas County
Oregon, USA

Thank you for your reply.  Not the John I was looking for but appreciate your thoroughness, which helps me disprove him.

What does MI Mean?

68   Robert   Johnstone   Susan   Scott
143   John   Kennedy       Jane Munro   --------Does this mean Jane Munro is wife's name

Peter Burt married Margaret Beveridge.  They ended up in Oregon, but I think all of her brothers that came over stayed in Pennsylvania.

Thanks for the welcome.  I have been enjoying the posts I am reading.

I forgot to say on my original post re: the ship "The Statira Morse" arriving in NY --  that I read on the posts and interpreted as the Euphemia Burt listed is really probably Euphemia Beveridge - therefore my thinking that Andrew Burt is really Peter Burt is further enhanced.

I just found "The Statira Morse" ships list last week and my immediate thought was that it was a mistranscription and that the Andrew Burt listed as age 34 was in fact Peter Burt - husband of Margaret (Beveridge) Burt age 33 as all the other Burt names and ages matched my records.
Peter Burt had a brother David who I had been told immigrated with Peter's mother and brothers and sisters, but David does not show on their immigration on the "Champion" April 30, 1852. 
So I am thinking the David on "The Statira Morse"  must be him.

This is my first day on RootsChat and so don't know how it works - but Bones mentioned having pictures and I am wondering how I contact her about getting copies?
