Continuing the search for immigrant relatives who came to the United States, I'm going over new.familysearch.org's listed ancestors of my Dad's Dad's Mom, Charlotte Jeanette Muir Hooper, also known as Netty.
Oh, I don't have to go back ten generations to find the first person. Her paternal grandfather, 1. John Walter Muir, and grandmother, 2. Grace Muir, born in Fordel, Dalgety, Fife(shire), Scotland, 22 August 1826 and 3 March 1825. She died first 14 June 1864 in Beaver, Beaver, Utah. He passed away 10 October 1902 Salt Lake City and was buried in Beaver, Beaver, Utah. Yes, they were first cousins. As a polygamist, he had a few other wives: 3. Jane Penman, born in Dalgety, Fife, Scotland, place of death unknown; 4. Mary Hibbard, born 21 June 1823 in Pilsley, Derby(shire), England, who died 5 October 1885 in Salt Lake City or Beaver, Beaver, Utah; 5. Eliza Rial, born in Sheffield, Yorkshire, England, place of death unknown. I am a descendant of John and Grace Muir.
Grace Muir's parents also emigrated from Dalgety, Fife, Scotland, 6. Walter Muir, born 1 September 1789 and 7. Ellen Beveridge, born 18 July 1786. Walter passed away April 1857 in Cedar City, Iron, Utah, and Ellen in October 1869 in Beaver, Beaver, Utah.
Charlotte Jeanette Muir's maternal grandparents were also the first generation in the U.S. in their family line. 8. Caleb Kelsall Orton, born 11 November 1840 in Byron, Nottinghamshire, England, died 10 April 1901 in Parowan, Iron, Utah. 9. Charlotte Trout, born 23 December 1840 in Radford, Nottinghamshire, England, died 28 March 1881 in Parowan, Iron, Utah. They brought their daughter, Hannah Elizabeth Orton, who later became the mother of my Great-grandma Charlotte, Jeanette Muir. Hannah was born Christmas day 1876 in Sneinton, Nottinghamshire, England, and died 8 February 1943 in Ogden, Weber, Utah, but was buried next to her husband in Beaver, Beaver, Utah.
The Muirs and Ortons most likely came to America, making their way west to Utah, after joining the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, who were gathering new members with missionary work around the world, but especially focused in Europe.
Wow, that was much faster and easier than trying to search for all of the immigrants in Morise LeRoy Hooper's line, who came in the 1600s.
