Bark Therese
I, C. Hohorst, Master of the Bark Therese do solemnly, sincerely and truly swear that the following List or Manifest, subscribed by me, and now delivered by me to the Collector of the Customs District of New York, is a full and perfect list of all the passengers taken on board of the said Therese at Bremen from which port said Therese has now arrived; and that on said list is truly designated the age, the sex, and the occupation of each of said passengers, the part of the vessel occupied by each during the passage, the country to which each belongs, and also the country of which it is intended by each to become an inhabitant; and that said List or Manifest truly sets forth the number of said passengers who have died on said voyage, and the names and ages of those who died.
Sworn to this May 27 1861 So help me God C. Hohorst

Transcriber's Notes:
* An asterisk indicates an error on the part of the original recorder, not the transcriber,
or is used to call your attention to additional information in the transcriber's notes.
? Indicates a letter or number which could not be determined due to the condition of the
manifest or handwriting of the original recorder.
^ Indicates letters are omitted and the following letter is superscripted.
* The writer of this list lists wives and children without a surname and usually does not use
ditto marks for the destination. Presumably the surnames are the same aa the head of the
family as well as the destination.
* This passenger list has a number of emigrants from Ostfriesland going to Freeport,
Illinois. Their information is expanded in the passenger notes below based on entries in
the Ortssippenbücher (Lineage Books) for the village of their origin. The Ostfriesian
names are often incorrect because their language was low German and those who only
understood high German often did not understand the differences; hence, Jans becomes
Johannes, or Freerk becomes Friedrich, etc.
