JOHN DICKS is my 3rd Great-Grandfather.  He
married Sarah G. Kempe.  Their known children are John Augustus, Joseph
Edward and William Alexander Dicks. They lived in NYC and in the
eastern NY/NJ border area. If you are, or believe you might be, a
descendant also, please contact the transcriber of this list.


Correspondence added 26 March 2008; passengers #4-7, BINGHAM
I would like to added to the email list for this ship.  My Gr-Great Grandparents, Allen 
and Joanna Bingham and their daughters, Theresa and Ellen were passengers on the trip 
from London to New York in 1836.  They settled in Canandaigua, NY where he became a citizen.
I would like any more information on this ship you can find.  I have been looking for some 
diary a passenger might have kept of this voyage. 
		Thanks, Lowell Bingham in Coraopolis, PA  15108.
