Hi,
I think this must be a different couple. My Benjamin and his sons were
coal miners. The George's Creek Coal Mining Company of Western Maryland
actually paid the passage of my Thomases and a number of other Welsh
mining families. The ship sailed from Newport. Also, none of my
Benjamin's children appear to have been married when they came to the
U.S (although a couple of the boys were grown).
Is Llanon a small community? And, are there mines nearby?
