Hi 

 Am looking for any info regarding my great grandparentsx2  who emigrated to America from Co.Armagh. Samuel and Elizabeth( Eliza) Fullerton Stott were married12 February 1863 in the parish church of Mullaghbrack by Rev.Gibson according to the rite of the Church of Ireland.

  Her father was listed as Thomas Fullerton and his as John Stott. Both were farmers. Eliza had a daughter,Mary Ann,who was about eight years old ( 5 Oct. 1855)  at the time of this marriage.Later she took his last name but am not sure if there was.a legal adoption. On the marriage record Eliza is listed as spinster-- full age.I don't know if she had a previous marriage and if so what her last name would have been. Eliza was from Tannaghmore and Samuel from Drumnamether.They emigrated in 1864to the port of Philadelphia.During the voyage their infant son died. I don't know his name.

     Later they moved to the Wilmington, Delaware area where Rachael( 1866) and Samuel(1868) were born.Eliza died before 1870and Samuel remarried about four years later His second marriage bore four daughters.He died in Chester, Pennsylvania in 1913.

    I don't have the dates of birth  or death for Eliza.On a US Federal census Samuel's birth was noted as July, 1845. however it was most likely between 1835-45. I found one Stott family in a 1911 census for Drumnamether-- David 58,farmer,wifeSarah,56 and daughters,Maggie,16 and Emma 15. I don't know if this a family link.

Mary Ann later married  Charles B Dunlap and they lived in Delaware County,Pennsylvania and raised five sons and three daughters.She died in 1943. I know that  her stepfather was a good parent.She named one of her sons--Samuel  Stott--- my grandfather.Although we are not related by blood, I consider Samuel Stott very much a part of the family and would like to know more about him as well as my great great grandmother, Eliza's family in Co. Armagh. I am hoping to find the name of their son who died at sea. 

    I hope that some of the above info will be helpful in my search.Thanks.
