From Muirtown they went out through Moray Firth, around and down to Edinburgh on the Firth of Forth, then overland to Glasgow and finally to Greenock.
In July, 1803, after a wait of several weeks in Greenock, they finally sailed in the 'Trapper' for New York City.

In 1805, Alex. & Sarah (Ferguson) Fraser and their seven children sailed from Greenock in the "George Buchanan" for New York City.

We have a great deal of information and are currently writing our Fraser family history-genealogy. We would be interested in corresponding with any Frasers from the Muirtown area past or present.
