 1   Name is Herwicks on this list but may have been Herwigs.
 2   Ancestry website lists this person as Vercie Glemick--not a likely German name and more
     likely the wife of G. Herwicks as listed just above her entry.  Besides, the G of entry
     number 1 is not the first letter for the given name of entry number 2.  
 3   Names of the children are not listed.
 4   Ancestry website lists this person as S. J. Saathoff and the est. age as 27.
 5   Ancestry website lists here E. with children and age as 28.  Presumably E. Saathoff.  The
     number of children is unclear. 
 7   Ancestry website lists second initial as O; I  believe it is U 
 8   Names or number of the children are not listed.
 9   Ancestry website lists surname as J. Schellas.
10   Ancestry website lists name as Peter Eichhorn.
11   Names of the children are not listed--probably children of Peter Echhorn/Eichhorn.
12   Ancestry website lists age as 29. Ancestry lists given name as Ernest--it is clearly
     the German form: Ernst
