An interesting article from the Seacoast Online of New Hampshire about Chinese families in Exeter, New Hampshire, which contains mention of the family of John Moor(e) Thistle (abt January 1854-1910) of Eastport, Maine, who married a Chinese woman, Mary Ah Say or Ashay (1864-1903) , in Japan.
According to the article, John and his bride moved to Shanghai, China, where they had four children, and later moved to the United States, presumably the area of Portsmouth, New Hampshire, where another two children were born, at least one in Portsmouth in 1892.
At the time of enumeration of the 1900 US Census, John and family were living in Exeter, New Hampshire. John, the son of Irish immigrant James Thistle and Louise (Roix) Thistle, died in 1910 in Exeter.
