Our tree begins in the United States about 1760 +/- with a William J. Sutherland born in Scotland May 25, 1741 and died Jan. 18, 1815 in Chatham Center, NY. He supposedly arrived in or about NYC and initialy settled in the area known as 'Horseneck', Connecticut (Greenwich).
I do not know the ship or port of departure, but Merritts book lists his father's name as William? also and Grandfather's name to be George.
I would like to trace the tree to a specific area in Sutherlandshire, if possible. Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks, Paul
