Transcriber's Notes:
Passenger numbers added to aid with referencing.

through the line.
(these + symbols are not part of the original manifest and have
been added by the transcriber.)
+ =part of James Willie Handcart Co. to Utah
++ =died crossing prairie to Utah
As I have several sources for these passengers, I have kept the
transcription of this manifest an actual copy of such. Below I

Passenger 442 Patterson - Thomas listed as died on voyage but also
listed on handcart company
Passenger 446 Knudsen - Kirsten and Kersten Knutsen
Passenger 463 Mortenson - This family of Mortenson's and Peterson's

under name of Peterson starting with
Anna K, but in fact some are with the
Mortenson family.

Passenger 736 McCullock - McCullick and McCullock

John or Jonathan was written as Jno. Elizabeth was written with
an "e" as Elizebeth. At times names were abbreviated and the last
letter put above the rest of the name. I have put those abbreviations
with an apostrophe to denote the raised letter as in Sam'l for Samuel.
Also most surnames were recorded ending in "son" and yet several of
these are actually "sen" on other sources.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Many of this ships passengers were part of the ill-fated Willie
Handcart Company, one of the first companies crossing the plains
to Utah that used handcarts. My ancestors, Gr. Gr. Grandfather
& Grandmother Anders Jensen, and Anna, two boys, Gr. Grandfather
Michael and Anthony were on this ship and members of the Willie
Handcart Co. Anders died in Wyoming Oct. 29, 1856, starving and
weak, he fell and was run over by a handcart. Anna and the boys
went on to Utah, arriving in Salt Lake City on November 9, 1856.
After her marriage to John William Padris (John Williams) in 1858,
they settled in Manti. In 1877 Michael and his bride Ane Line Pedersen
(who crossed on the Monarch of the Seas 1864) moved to Gunnison, Utah
and spent most their entire life there, raising 8 of 12 children to adulthood,
including my grandfather Andrew Christian Jensen, the first born son.
The James G. Willie Emigrating Journal states:
"28 Oct. 1856, Tuesday - Traveled 8 miles. Crossed Big Sandy Creek,
traveled down its banks about 3 miles and camped. Weather fine."

Correspondence 29 October 1999 Rowley
Thanks to your good efforts, I was able to confirm that five of my
great great great grandparents, Ann Jewell Rowley, Samuel and
Eliza Chapman Gadd, and William and Jane James, and four of my great
great grandparents, John Rowley, Louisa Rowley, Mary Ann Gadd and
Emma James, (some on page 1) all came over on this ship and were indeed
part of the Willie Handcart Company. Your links to handcart sites
also provided me with personal insights into Ann Rowley and
Eliza Chapman Gadd as personal stories are told there about them.
