Correspondence added January 22,2006, passengers 8-11, 22 and 24, VERHAGE
My direct ancestor, Bastiaan Verhage, passenger #24, was traveling on this ship from
Dirksland (in the Netherlands) to Michigan. Two of his brothers (also from Dirksland)
were onboard; Aaron (Aren, Arendt; passenger #8) who was traveling with his wife and two
children, and Marteen, (Maarten, Martin; passenger #22), who died on the voyage.
Bastiaan and Aaron settled in Ottawea County, Michigan. On July 1, 1854 two other brothers,
Cornelius ((Cornelis) and Teunis (Tunis) emmigrated from Rotterdam, arriving in New York on
the ship Isabella. They joined Bastiaan and Aaron in Michigan. Family stories say that their
widowed mother immigrated also. One record shows she had a different last name after a second
marriage. The age is appropriate for passenger #12, but as the record is unreadable it is not
much to go on. Thank you for your time and efforts. Sincerely, Linda Henderson
