Family storys indicate that my great grandfather, John Robert Egan, arrived in New Brunswick on a ship that ran aground at Lepreau. The story was that the passengers had to wade ashore and that Lepreau townspeople took them into their homes. A great aunt remembers talking to an elderly man that took in John Robert. From teacher certification records in the Fredericton archives it appears he started teaching in New Brunswick arround 1842, Thus, I am estimating the ship arrived at Lepreau arround the early part of the 1840s or late in the 1830s . Can anyone help me with this puzzle ?
