I have one in my tree from the 1840's, hubby had his eyes in leaving for the USA but it seems his wife did not share the dream. There's an interesting little ping pong match of notices starting with a 'no longer liable' by the hubby followed by a 'business for sale' and 'business sold' by the wife. It seems at that point hubby had already gone taking the two surviving children with him and disembarked in the USA with a new wife.
