Correspondence 02/17/2004 passengers #12-18 Cleggett/Claggett
Passengers:  Richard Cleggett, his wife Frances Day Cleggett and their 
children:
 
Last name was misspelled; it is "Claggett" and the family was from 
Boughton Mahlerbe, Kent, England.  They actually sailed with six 
children (Olive 12, Harriet 8, Stephen 7, Amy 6, Elizabeth 3, and 
Charlotte 11 mos) so they apparently didn't charge for the baby or 
someone sailed free.  The family had two more children (James and 
Sarah) while living in the Utica area of New York and buried Elizabeth 
just 6 mos after arriving in the United States.  Between 1832 and 1835 
the family relocated to a farm in Lenox Twp, Macomb Co, Michigan where 
two more children were added to the family (Elizabeth Ann and Frances E).  
The family lived on farms in the area for four generations.
