  On board the OSCEOLA from Glasgow to NYC, April 16,
  1847, these names are together:
  James Bruster, 50, farmer
  Mary Bruster, 48
  Jane Bruster, 20
  Hugh Creelman,16
  Ann Creelman, 14
  M.J. Creelman, 6 mos
  BG:  This must be Hugh Creelman and Ann Brewster Creelman with their daughter Mary Jane.  Who are the other three on the Osceola in 1847?  It surely has to be the ones we have as Charles siblings, Mary and James, and maybe Jane is another but died?  The Creelman’s ages are nonsense so probably, ALL the ages are total nonsense.
  BB: Looking at genforum and an old note there by Kay (and a recent one by David).  Another researcher - Murphy - says Charles' sister, Jane, Married John  Mitchell and there is the following on Ancestry - a personal tree.  So you may be right that Jane was another sibling on the Osceola.
