Lucy Thompson


Liverpool, England to New York
23 July 1855

DISTRICT OF NEW YORK - PORT OF NEW YORK
I, C B Pendleton, Master of the Lucy Thompson do solemnly, sincerely and truly swear that the following List or Manifest, subscribed by me, and now delivered by me to the Collector of the Customs of the Collection District of New York, is a full and perfect list of all the passengers taken on board of the said Lucy Thompson at Liverpool from which port said ship has now arrived, and that on said list is truly designated the age, the sex, and the occupation of each of said passengers, the part of the vessel occupied by each during the passage, the country to which each belongs, and also the country of which it is intended by each to become an inhabitant, and that said List or Manifest truly sets forth the number of said passengers who have died on said voyage, and the names and ages of those who died.
So help me God,
C B Pendleton.
Sworn to this July 23rd, 1855 Before me H Cathonn, DC
List or Manifest of all the Passengers taken on board the Lucy Thompson, whereof C B Pendleton is Master, from Liverpool, burthen 1499 42/95 tons.
Columns represent: Name, Age, Sex, Occupation, and The country in which they severally belong. There was only one death on the voyage (see Transcriber's notes), so that column has been eliminated. All passengers were intending to become inhabitants of America, so that column has been eliminated. All but the last 12 passengers occupied the Upper Between Deck part of the vessel, so the column labeled "Part of the vessel occupied by each passenger during the voyage" has been eliminated and the quarters of the last 12 passengers is noted in the Transcriber's notes.

Transcriber's Notes below.

The use of a ? Indicates a word or letters that were omitted or could not be
read due to quality of original document or penmanship of original recorder.

The use of a caret (^) indicates that the next letter is superscripted by the
