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.
Ages in months were written as fractions, changed by the formatter.
The Country of Hullhorst has an umlaut "u" - Huellhorst.
Whoever made the list wrote the luggage of each group or individual in the column
"Number and Name of Passengers who have died on this voyage." That person also
indicated which people were traveling together as a group or perhaps roomed together,
by means of a written brace. The transcriber has inserted a blank line after each
such group. No. 12 and No. 73 were the only people who were traveling alone.
19 Although the rest of the family name is spelled "Bolling," the writer of this list
definitely inserted an "e" to make "Boelling".
52 Burger has an umlaut "u" - Buerger
57-61 Luciemuller has an umlaut over the second "u" - Luciemueller
74 Buher has an umlaut "u" - Bueher
Nos. 25 through 29 are the transcriber's ancestors
(25) Gottlieb Heinrich Heidenreich, b. 26 Apr 1795 in Huellhorst, Westfalen, Preussen;
death date and place unknown as of 06/2004
Married (26) Anne Marie Charlotte Kottkamp, b. 08 Aug 1792 in Huellhorst, Westfalen,
Preussen; death date and place unknown as of 06/2004
Marriage date: 01 Sep 1816
Children of the marriage (all born in Huellhorst, Westfalen, Preussen):
Anne Marie, b. 13 Jan 1819, d. 09 May 1887, St. Clair County, IL
Married 12 Aug 1836: Christian Friederich Heinrich Knefelkamp,
b. 1816 in Behrendorf, Prussia
d. 28 May 1862 in St. Clair County, IL
Children: Caspar, Charles, Christian, Henry, Anna, Katharina
(27) C.H. is Caspar Heinrich Heidenreich, b. 27 Apr 1820, d. 17 Jan 1893 in
Millstadt, St. Clair County, IL
Married: the widow Christine Meiers, nee Rutter (or Ruetter) and assumed
legal guardianship of her 4 minor children
Children: Louise, Friederich, Heinrich, unnamed boy (stillborn)
Anne Catherine Luise, b. and d. 24 Jun 1822
Anne Sophie Marie Charlotte, b. 08 Aug 1823, d. 01 Sep 1823
Christian Friederich, b. 30 Nov 1825; death date and place unknown as of 06/2004
Married: Louise (maiden name unknown)
Christian and Louise were found in the 1850 census, just two families
away from Gottlieb and Mary in the Belleville Prairie, St. Clair County,
IL, but not in any other censuses. According to the Rieso family history
(see below), the Heidenreich family came to the US in 1847, and "their
soldier son" came later; we are assuming Christian Friederich was the
"soldier son."
(28) Louisa is Anne Marie Louise Charlotte, b. 21 Jul 1828; death date and place
unknown as of 06/2004
Married 17 Mar 1849: Heinrich Linne

Anne Catharine, b. 18 Aug 1834, d. 13 Mar 1837
(29) Mary is Anna Catherine Maria Sophie, b. 17 Mar 1849, d. 05 Sep 1909 in
Smithton, St. Clair County, IL
Married 20 Aug 1851: Gottlieb Friederich Rieso b. 07 Feb 1826 in
Buende Herford Minden, Prussia, d. 18 Nov 1911 Smithton, St. Clair
County, IL
Children: Augusta, Louisa, Heinrich Gottlieb, Henry George, Maria Catherine,
Emma, Maria Helene, Anna, Karolina, Caroline
According to the Rieseo family history, the Heidenreich family stayed
in a St. Louis hotel (except for Caspar, who hot-footed it over to
St. Clair County to look at land) for a month because the mother,
Anne Marie, was ill. While there, Mary met Gottlieb Rieso, who was
an accountant for the hotel, and they fell in love. The family left
for St. Clair County, and shortly thereafter, Rieso left his position
at the hotel and hired out in St. Clair County as a farm laborer until
he found Mary.
Anne Cathrine Marie, b. and d. 30 Jun 1833
Anne Catharine, b. 18 Aug 1834, d. 13 Mar 1837
