Transcriber's Notes:

*  An asterisk indicates an error on the part of the original recorder, not the transcriber,
   or is used to call your attention to additional information in the transcriber's notes.

?  Indicates a letter or number which could not be determined due to the condition of the 
   manifest or handwriting of the original recorder.

^  A ^ followed by a letter indicates that the letter was superscripted.

*  The port of departure was not listed, but it is possible that it was Bremen, Germany.

*  There was nothing written in the "Children 1-4" column.

*  Reviewer's note: The captain's statement shows that 9 passengers died. Only one passenger,
   #23, has X behind the name which might indicate that she died. Otherwise there is no
   indication of who died.

*  Reviewer's note: the arrival date of November 30, 1939 is unlikely since the ship did not
   leave until November 23, 1839. No other date could be found though.

2:       Reviewer's note: Muller is spelled with u Umlaut.
9:       Reviewer's note: the last name could be Less.
10:      Reviewer's note: Joh^n could stand for Johann.

20:      Reviewer's note: the last name could be Rutemeyer.
21:      Reviewer's note: Schafer is spelled with a Umlaut.
23:      Reviewer's note: Hackemuller is spelled with u Umlaut. This passenger might
         be one of the 9 passengers who died on the voyage as there is a X behind her name. 
25:      Reviewer's note: Luchtefeld is spelled with u Umlaut.
26:      Reviewer's note: Oberhulsmann is spelled with u Umlaut.
27:      Reviewer's note: Lucker is spelled with u Umlaut.
34:      Reviewer's note: the last name could be Spertker.
39:      Reviewer's note: the first name is impossible to read due to some damage
         to the manifest. The name could possibly be Anton.
40:      Reviewer's note: the last name could be Dunker.


Correspondence 4/5/01 passengers 3, 4, 6, 11, 14, 16

This ship's captain used an abbreviated format and misspelled some 
passenger and place names, but the info listed is sufficient to identify 
several who joined a pioneer German settlement in the Lake Creek area 
of Benton and Pettis Counties in Missouri, and adjoining Morgan County 
(see German Immigrants): 

#3 is the Cord Meyer family from Rhadereistedt, Hanover, who appear 
in the 1840 Benton County, Missouri census.  Cord died at Lake Creek 
1843, his wife Tibke Gerken in 1898. Their son Jost Meyer married 
Margaret Schnakenberg in Benton County 1845, and his brother Henry 
married Margaret Oelrichs 1851.  Jost died there 1904, Henry 1896.

#4 is John Ohlrogge from Ummel, a tiny spot between Kirchtimke and 
Hepstedt, Hanover.  #6 is John's brother Henry Ohlrogge from nearby 
Rhade, Hanover.  John and Henry are in the Pettis County, Missouri 
census 1840 and in  Benton County 1850. John's daughter Gesche married 
Joseph Schwickrath in Benton County 1843. By 1860 John had moved back 
to Pettis County, and died there 1865, his wife Gesche in Benton County 
1912.  Henry's daughter Margaret married Cord Schroeder of Benton 
County 1853, and Henry & wife Anna Viets resided with them 1860.  
Henry died in Benton County 1866, Anna in 1887. 
 
#11 is Gesche Blohm from Altenbülstedt, Hanover who married 
Martin Kueck of Morgan County, Missouri ca 1840. Martin died 1844, 
and Gesche then married Frederick Wahlers of Morgan County in 1845.  
Gesche died there 1896.  Gesche's sisters Tibke Holtzen and 
Becke Gehlken lived near her in Benton and Morgan Counties.

#14 is the Lütje (Louis) Kahrs family from Altenbülstedt, Hanover 
who settled in the Lake Creek community of Pettis County, Missouri. 
(The list should read "and wife") Louis' wife Gesche died ca 1844, 
and he married Dorothy Kahrs 1845. (There were several marriages 
between apparently unrelated Kahrs families)  Louis' daughter Adelheid 
married Andreas Holzbeierlein of Cole County in 1853.  Louis died at 
Lake Creek 1881, Dorothy 1875.

#16 is Mary Kahrs from Neuenbülstedt, who married Cord Kahrs from 
Altenbülstedt in St Louis 1840, and joined the other Kahrs families 
in Pettis County. (As stated above, the two Kahrs lines from 
neighboring villages have not been found to be related)


Correspondence 18 November 2008, passengers 42 & 43.
The 2 Bartmann brothers, Franz Joseph Leopold and Christoph Franz, applied for emigration on the 
16th July 1839. Emigration or permission to leave the country was granted on the 16th August 1839. 
Another brother, Anton Burchard arrived on the SS Constitution in New York on the 20th July 1837. 
Anton Burchard returned home at one time, then travelled to New Orleans, LA on the Ship Agnes,
arriving in 1845. Another trip arrived in New York in 1858, this time on the SS Bremen. 
Christoph Franz seems to have gone home as well as he can be found on the Ship Richard Cobden,
arriving in New Orleans, LA in 1847.

Mathias Heinrich Bartmann was born on 27. July 1811 in Burgsteinfurt. He emigrated in 1849 to the United States. He 
settled in Westphalia, not too far from St. Louis, MO. His twin brother Christoph Franz had already settled there in 1837. 
Another brother, Anton Burchard und Franz Joseph Leopold had arrived in 1839. Mathias Heinrich Bartmann returned
to Burgsteinfurt in the fall of 1849. His brother, Franz Joseph Leopold, died on 12. July 1849 of Cholera,
this might have been one of the reasons for Mathias Heinrich Bartmann's return. He died on 4. January 1861 in
Burgsteinfurt, still single.
