I searched all my sources and couldn't find any matching records for "John Rawbon". Is that the correct spelling? Was he the 1st to go to Australia? If so, no records in the Australian archives either. If not, he didn't appear on the British 1881 census as well.
Can you help?

Just found in the Hudson Bay Records a Hugh Sabbeston born about 1772 in Hudson Bay Area, joined the HBC in 1786. Married a Cree woman here. Had 2 sons before he died Nov 20, 1810.
Most likely his father was from Orkney.
Any ideas?

I'm looking for any information on the descendants of Thomas Sabiston and Ann Gorie - m.November 16, 1732 in Kirkwall, Orkney.  They had 5 children - John, David, Jannet, Magnus and Ann.

I believe I am descendant of Thomas & Ann's son David. My ancestor was David Sabiston born 1750 in NC but could that be the same David Sabiston born 1734 thereabouts? I am interested to tie the United States tree to Orkney with some help? Spanish eyes, Spence007 I believe we have corresponded previously. It appears Stangerlad & Birsayboy may be key? I appreciate any help?

I have quite a bit of info on this family and can send you a gedcom file.
Please send me your email address

I am doing a one study or the Sabiston Surname
