The time frame would seem to be similar to that when the Guerins came to SC. Shipping being what it was at that time it is certainly conceivable that the migration of Guerins could have split into several groups, and it is unlikely that two successive ships would have been available for the same American destination. An avenue of investigation would be a study of the trans-atlantic shipping situation at that time. Remember, this was merely seventy years after the Mayflower, and shipping to the Americas would likely to have been strictly on a charter basis, requiring a well financed commitment by a specific group. I will put you on my list and advise if I come up with any ideas.
