Passenger Ships' Lists, Pennsylvania
by Donna Speer Ristenbatt
Index
NOTE: In the book Pennsylvania German
Pioneers by Strassburger and Hinke, the following is written on
page xxiv, which is of great interest.
In addition to the captains' lists we have the lists of the signers of
the oath of allegiance. On these lists we naturally expect to find the
signatures of all the male adults on the ships. But here we meet with another
disappointment. What we actually find, at least on the first seventy lists,
are the names of all the male adults who were well on the day of signing and
were able to appear at the Court House. If any of the male passengers were
sick, they were not required to sign later. Beginning in August 1739, we find
that the Clerk of Council signed the names of the absent passengers. But, in
the earlier lists, there is often a serious discrepancy between the male adults
that were on board and those that actually signed. Thus, for example, on the
very first captain's lists there are 109 names, but only 51 persons actually
appeared in the Court House and signed the oath. The others, who are reported
as sick, "never came to be qualified."
It should also be noted that the Captains' Lists do not exist for every
ship. Many have been lost or destroyed.
Ships are listed in chronological order, not alphabetical order.
PLEASE NOTE: I do NOT have any information on passengers who
appear on these ships' lists, UNLESS they are direct line ancestors of my
husband or myself. I also do not have any information on any of the ships
themselves. Please consult the various links and suggested resources
which I have on my web site for further information. Thanks.
