Correspondence 04/02/2004 passenger #2 Leppert
I am reasonably sure that the second passenger on this list was 
Cresence Leppert, born 31 May 1837 in Baden. She would have been 24 
when she left Germany. My Cresence Leppert left Baden to join her two 
brothers in Canada who had left 8 years earlier. Her father had died 
in 1861 so perhaps that was the reason she chose 1862 to leave Germany. 
Cresence is an uncommon name and the Cres'n of the log is a reasonable 
abbreviation. She had reason to come to America and she was unmarried. 
She did marry an Andrew Mattis (also seen as Mathis) and stayed in 
Kings Co., New York.  Other family names include Zimmerman and Richter.
