Correspondence 5/21/00
Passenger #235 Peter Cramp is my ancestor. He journeyed to Huron Co.,
OH where he married Christiana Seel, another recent immigrant from the
Duchy of Nassau. He was a farmer. They had twelve children: Henry,
William, Phillip Peter, Frederick, Peter, George, Louise, Charley,
Christina, Edward, John A. and Reuben. In 1870 the family moved to
Woods Co., OH where he died in 1913. Most of the family resided there
until WW11.
I have a lot of information and drawings of the "Margaret Evans."

drawings.
