I have a ggg=grandmother, Margaret Davitt, who was born on ship in 1799, and apparently orphaned on the ship or very shortly after arrival. The first record I can find for her is an 1834 marriage in Philadelphia. She died in 1859 in Illinois; I would love to find records for that also.

How can I trace an ancestor born on ship and orphaned before landfall?
