I did a quick check for Northrups in Stephanie Flora's emigration lists and found the following in 1851:<br><br><div><span style="font-size: 10pt;">*18: <b style="color: black; background-color: rgb(255, 153, 153);">NORTHRUP</b>, Alice: d/o [] and Elizabeth (Shaw) <b style="color: black; background-color: rgb(255, 153, 153);">Northrup</b> </span></div> <div><span style="font-size: 10pt;">*18: <b style="color: black; background-color: rgb(255, 153, 153);">NORTHRUP</b>, Anice: d/o [] and Elizabeth (Shaw) <b style="color: black; background-color: rgb(255, 153, 153);">Northrup</b> </span></div><br><span style="font-size: 10pt;"> *18: SHAW, Catherine/Caroline: m'd NUMBERS, Phillip; d/o John and Nancy (Harris) Shaw; family stories say that this family accompanied John Shaw but records do not seem to bear this out </span> <div><span style="font-size: 10pt;">*18: SHAW, Elizabeth: m'd <b style="color: black; background-color: rgb(255, 153, 153);">NORTHRUP</b>, []; d/o John and Nancy

Williams and see if you can't find out why Mary Ellen isn't listed.<br></span></div>The researcher who is researching this family line is <span style="font-size: 10pt;">Janice Lambach (jllambach@aol.com).
