 Correspondence added 10/01/2005, passenger #123, LAMBOURNE
My name is Chad Lambourne.  I recently saw a web site that contained a ship's manifest for the
American Eagle which sailed from England and arrived in New York on 20 JUL 1855.
On line 123 the name should read Levi Lambourne.  He was the son of Rhoda Pocock (Lambourne)
and George Lambourne (who for some reason doesn't appear on the manifest).  All of
the Lambourne's on the manifest went to Saint Louis, Missouri where they settled for 10 years
then they moved on to Salt Lake City,  I have very good records of these families including copies
of the Salt Lake City Cemetery's sexton's graves registration book, funeral home records etc.
 This is how I know his name was Levi.  I have seen the original ship's manifest and it sure
looks like Lary to me.  Just thought I'd pass that along.  Thanks.
Chad Lambourne
