Personal History

John Thomas Overton, (third) son of George Overton of Bardney, wood dealer, by Emma[1] Hall,[7] was born on 25 April 1858 at Bardney, Lincolnshire, England; the birth was registered in the district of Lincoln by his mother on 28 April.[7] (The death certificate of John Thomas Overton states that he was born on 8 April 1858.[8] It is possible that the date given at the registration of birth was not the actual date of birth.) John was baptized on 3 October of the same year in the parish of Bardney on the same day as his sister Amelia.[1]

By 26 October 1871, John arrived at the Port of New York on the S.S. Wisconsin with his mother, Emma Overton, and five siblings. The ship had originated in Liverpool and made a stop in Queenstown (Cobh), Ireland.[2]
