Thank you Marj for the details ...

Perhaps as they would have been on board the day before they were on the
ship for nearly 3 weeks and the tale doubled the time ..

Another possibility is that their total journey was 6 weeks .. They started
from near Forfar in Scotland and went on from New York to somewhere in
Massachusetts before settling a year later in Nova Scotia.

Raises more questions ... Like ...
Will it be possible to find passenger lists for their sea crossing to NS?

Thanks for the help ....

Robin
