I'm not sure what you're saying, here, but the content of the journal is from 1784 and details the sea crossing of my ancestors to Canada during the American Revolution. The original journal was too wet and molded, so the woman's daughter re-wrote it. I'm not sure how old the journal I have actually is, but likely over 200 years.

I'm copying it again since the writing is beginning to fade. My older sister actually made the suggestion recently that I type the thing out. That...would actually be a good idea so that I'll have a copy that is easy to distribute and I'll continue the hand-written one later. The journal is famous enough to be found online, transcribed in some places. I'm curious to compare my transcription of it to the ones I can see already done. It did sit in a museum in New Brunswick for a time, but my grandmother wouldn't renew the lease when she and her family moved out west here.
