Transcriber's Notes:
The column, Died on the Voyage has been omitted. Two persons did die, however. Passenger 19,
Mich? Paradi died and Passenger 93, 3-year old Harried Meridith died on the voyage. No
further information was given.
The original lister numbered the passengers; however, he began again with #1 for the
Steerage passengers. The transcriber has continued the numbers consecutively.
A question mark (?) is used for letter/letters that cannot be read because of the quality of
the document. Where possible a suggestion is given in the Transcriber's Notes of what this
letter/letters may be.
An asterisk (*) is used to refer to an item in the transcriber's notes, which further explains
the entry.
A circumflex (^) is used to indicate missing letters in a name. The original lister showed
this by writing the final letter smaller and raising it above the line.
The lister used the abbreviation "Lab" for a laborer.
18 Surname: Probably Moore. An ink blot obscures these letters; however, they rest on
the line, neither going above or below it.
19 The age is either 20 or 50. This passenger is listed as having died on the voyage.
43 Surname: Fisk or Kisk. It seems the lister wrote one over the other, but can't tell
which was written over which.
148&149 Surname: McIntir or McIntie.
178 Surname: Ruddick, Raddick.
238 Surname: Chalon, Chabon.
Correspondence added 6 March 2008, passenger 142, JONES
This passenger is my gr-uncle, born 5 April 1843 in Staffordshire, England.
He settled in McKeesport PA and married a U.S. citizen, Margaret Daugherty.
He operated a grocery store for 26 years in McKeesport. Children were:
John W., b.8/1865; Martha E., b.6/1869; Mary E., b.abt.1872, (married William Musslor);
Charles B., b.9/1874; William H., b.8/1876; George N., b. 1/1879;
Cora B., b.7/1881, (married James Fowler); Frank N., b.6/1885;
and Howard, b. 5/1890. Cora was very musically inclined and she
and her husbank moved to California. I would very much like to get a
connection to this family. Lora Lee Ament
