Correspondence 05/29/02 passenger #248-252 Gerstle
My ancestors, Abraham and Jeanette Gerstle and their son, Leopold (as
well as his brothers, Peppi and Gustav) were passengers on The Rattler,
which left Le Havre and arrived Port of New York on September 2, 1854.
I believe the family first settled in Chattangooga, TN. Leopold went on
to found The Gerstle Medicine Company in Chattangooga which started the
St. Joseph's pharmaceutical brand.
If you have any more information on this family of passengers, I hope
you'll let me know. Thank you! Susan Fisher
Correspondence 08/23/2004 passengers #30-35 Scholderer
The family of Jacob Scholderer listed here is believed to be the same Jacob Scholderer
that is buried in Hunter, Greene County, New York. On his cemetery stone it states
that he was born on November 7, 1814 in Rosenfelt, Whittenburg, Germany; died 23 May 1893.
When this ship came to America in 1854 he would have been 39, and possibly been recorded
as 40 on the ship's manifest. If anyone would like to discuss this family in more
detail please contact Kevin Sholder at: http://www.kevin-sholder.net/contact.html
