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 caret indicates missing letters and that the following letter is
superscripted.
* All passengers came from England and were destined for the United States so
those columns were omitted. There were no deaths recorded so that column
was omitted.
The manifest was not numbered. Numbers were added by the transcriber to
facilitate reference to Passenger Notes.
All passengers regardless of age or sex were given the occupation of the
male head of the family. Thus you will see a 6mo old farmer and a two
year old female plumber, etc.
Passenger Notes:
18 This surname could be Crackles, though the initial letter is unlike any
other "C" on the list.
21 This name was squeezed in between Passengers 20 and 22 as though added
as an afterthought. Possibly born on board during the passage.
36 This surname could be Blansking.
70 Surname is possibly Poll or Polk.
73 The first ? could be a "y" followed by a small letter above the line,
then a letter that dips below the line and finally another small letter
above the line.
79 The name Allice definitely has two "l"s.
Personal Notes
Wilson Cross and Mary Bagley Cross were the 3rd great-grandparents of the
transcriber. Their son John was the 2nd great-grandfather. He married
Angeline Stover, a direct descendant of Edward Doty of the Mayflower.
The family spent the first winter in New York and eventually made their way
to what is now downtown Kenosha, Wisconsin. Wilson is buried in the Green
Ridge Cemetery, 6604 Seventh Ave., Kenosha, Wisconsin. His naturalization
papers and death certificate are on file in the Racine County Courthouse.
After Wilson's death in 1840 the family became somewhat separated, though
remaining in Racine County for about ten years.
Later John and his wife and mother and several others of the family moved to a
farm near Oshkosh because George Cross, Wilson's youngest brother who had come
here in 1830, said that this part of Wisconsin was the "Eldorado of the West".
But according to an old diary started on board the ship from Hull, the real
reason they left Kenosha was because of the rattlesnakes. According to the
diary they were so thick that when the men went out in the fields to cut the
grain, they'd swing a scythe only once or twice and it would come up bloody
from the many snakes.
John Cross gave the land to start Bell Cemetery in the town of Winneconne, WI
as he owned several hundred acres there. Mary Bagley Cross is buried in Bell
Cemetery.
