The George Thomson family was living in Cleveland, Cuyahoga County, Ohio, at the time of the 1910 census (Enumeration District 0224, Visit 0370). In 1920 and in 1930, they were living at 1260 East 146th Street, Cleveland.

Other Events and Attributes:

• Naturalization: 9 Oct 1882, Cuyahoga County, Ohio, USA
• Residence: 1883, 2 Home Avenue, Cleveland, Cuyahoga County, Ohio, USA
• Occupation: 7 Aug 1883; Cleveland policeman

Notes:

At the time of the 1861 census, Charles Duff was living at Bothy of Charleston, Liff and Benvie, Angus, and his occupation was given as ploughman. In their 1868 marriage record, Charles Duff and Ann Nolan were both recorded as living in Lochee and working as farm servants in the parish of Liff and Benvie. On the death record of their first child, Alexander, in 1868, Charles' occupation was given as police constable in Dundee. Charles apparently came to the United States before the rest of his family, as his record in the Declarations of Aliens (Volume 8, p. 398, 9 October 1880) in Cuyahoga County, Ohio, states that he arrived in the United States in September 1868. His wife and children arrived in New York from Glasgow on 31 October 1872, on the S.S. California. The California was built by Alexander Stephen & Sons of Glasgow and was launched on 12 March 1872. Its maiden voyage was 15 June 1872, and it was scrapped in 1904. Charles probably came first to find employment, and then returned to Scotland to prepare his family for emigration. He is listed in the 1871 census of St. Mary, Dundee, with the occupation of police officer. There is no date on the census record. Again, he must have returned to the United States before his wife and children. He is probably the Charles Duff listed on the passenger manifest for the S.S. Anglia, which arrived in New York from Glasgow on 16 September 1871. On 7 August 1883, Charles was appointed a patrolman (Patrolman 160, at $840 per year) with the Cleveland Police Department, and took his Oath of Office the same day. His previous occupation was given as "paver," and his address was 6 Home Street.

Traveling with James and Letitia Hutchison, the in-laws of her daughter Mary, she sailed on the ship State of Nebraska on 5 June and arrived in Glasgow on 14 June. She remained in Scotland until late August 1897, sailing home on 25 August on the ship City of Rome and arriving in New York on 5 September. Her nationality was listed as Scottish on the outgoing passenger list and as Irish on the return passenger list. When she arrived in New York on her return trip, she declared that she had $5.00 and a ticket to her final destination, Cleveland.

Other Events and Attributes:

• Occupation: agricultural laborer
• Census: 1841, Kinnoull, Perthshire, Scotland
• Census: 1851, Garry Cottage, Barnhill, Kinnoull, Perthshire, Scotland

Notes:

William Guthrie was described as a workman at Pow of Errol (1788), Mains of Errol (1790 and 1791), and Lorny (1794) in the baptismal records of his children. The marriage of William and Jean Tait was recorded in the minutes of the Kirk session of 9 July 1787. At the time of the 1841 census, he was living in the parish of Kinfauns. Living with him were his daughter, Helen, and her three children, Robert, Alexander, and Jean. At the time of the 1851 census, these same people were living together at Garry Cottage, Barnhill, Kinnoull Parish, Perthshire. There is no proof that three of the children (Anne, Charles, and James) listed for William and Jean Tait Guthrie were in fact their children. This may be the William Guthrie recorded in the parish records of Dunbarney as having had a child in 1804. This William Guthrie was identified as a servant to John Archer, tenant at Easter Kinmonth, which seems to differentiate him from the William Guthrie identified as a weaver in other Dunbarney baptismal records.

William married Jean Tait on 9 Jul 1787 in Errol, Perthshire, Scotland. Jean (daughter of William Tait and Helen Croyle) was born in 1764; was christened on 23 Aug 1764 in Errol, Perthshire, Scotland; died on 18 Jul 1836 in Kinnoull, Perthshire, Scotland. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

In the death record of her daughter, Margaret Guthrie Alexander, Jean's name is given as Jane Tait. This is probably the Mrs. Guthrie whose death and burial are recorded in the parish records of Kinnoull Parish. Her burial date was 18 July 1836, and the mortcloth fee was paid on 6 July 1836. Cause of death was old age (73), and the burial was in Kinnoull.
