Alexander McLaws, Shipwrecked Immigrant

Interesting story told in stone: His Daughter Hath placed this stone over the body of Alexander M c Laws While on a voyage from Santo Domingo to his home in Scotland, he and his family were shipwrecked off the coast of Georgia, near Darien.

We've moved on. ;-) Back to the main story. The three of us each had an objective, all to be completed before we returned ...
