Message Board Post:
Does anyone have any information about either of these people? They are my Great(x3)
Grandparents. Here's what I know: William F Cairns came over from Glasgow Scotland to
the US and married Rebecca Dean from County Down, Ireland (Mother Eliza(beth), sister
Jane). The first hint of them in the US is 1860 Census in Lodi, New Jersey, living with
Eliza(beth) and Jane Dean and and son John Cairns age 1.
According to Census William is born About 1835. My Grandfather says he was born in 1825
and came over in 1852 and was married about 1853. (Dates may be a bit fuzzy for him, he is
over 90!). ANY Help would be appreciated.
