Ship Arival Record: John Mockler, Hannah Mockler and Mary Ross as passengers on the Bark Banshee

This appears to be the maiden voyage of the barque "Banshee" built by John Mockler in 1854. How exciting for John Mockler's eldest child and daughter, Hannah, age 18, to join him on this trip to Boston! Capt. Ross' daughter Mary is also aboard.

This 300 acre property is of similar size to the 300 acre parcel of land later owned by John Mockler’s son, Patrick Mockler, who built a new home there circa 1900. This dwelling and farm, however, appear to be located on the point and on the harbor.
