Transcriber's ancestors -
Bather Family
Ship London - June 4, 1850
Passengers #29 and #30
Penny Sabin

My 2nd great grandfather, John R. Bather, born Nov. 7, 1828 England and 
his 1st wife Mary (Moody) Bather (listed as age 20 on this list). They 
were married May 1, 1850 (age on certificate is 31)at Manchester Cathedral 
in England and left immediately for America. Sadly, Mary became ill on the 
voyage and was probably quarantined on arrival. She is buried at the Marine 
Quarantine Cemetery, Staten Island, New York (age listed on burial record 
as 30). John's father was Thomas Bather born May 5, 1799 Llangedwynand, 
Wales (the Welsh Marches area); his mother Agness Kellet was born 
Oct. 14, 1799. John's grandparents were Richard Badda (born 1751
Llangedwyn) and Mary (the Welsh "dd" is pronounced "th"); great 
grandparents were Andrew Badda (born 1708 Llangedwyn) and Jane.

Gardeners by trade, the Bathers are on the 1850 Albany NY Federal Census 
living on the Stephen Van Rensselaer Estate (probably employed as gardeners
for the estate). In 1858, John married Jane M. Sipperly at Troy, New York 
and shortly afterward the entire Bather family moved to Iowa. John and his
brother, Andrew Bather, operated a florist business with large greenhouses 
for 30 years, becoming one of the leading florists in Iowa. As members of 
the Underground Railroad, their properties were frequently used as hiding 
places for fugitive slaves before going by boat across the Mississippi River
and on to Canada. John and Jane Bather had twelve children. John died 1893 
and Jane died three years later, both buried at Clinton, Iowa.

John's mother, Agness Bather and two of his siblings (Andrew and Mary) 
arrived New York June 21, 1849 on the Ship Isaac Wright. 
We are still searching for the ship with John's father Thomas Bather onboard,
probably 1848/1849.
