Transcriber's Notes:
The list in not numbered; numbers have been inserted by the transcriber.
*The 5th column, "To what country belonging" has "Great Britain and 
 Ireland" written vertically across the column.
*The 6th column, "Country of which it is their intention to become 
 inhabitants," has "Philadelphia" written vertically across the column.
*The 7th column, "Number and Names of Passengers who have died on the 
 voyage' has the entry "none" written vertically across the column.
* #2: The fourth letter could not be deciphered.
* #3: Letters represented by ? could not be deciphered.
* #13 age is 7 months.
* #19-25: Surname could be "Maker" or "Maku" or "Maki".
* #26-27: Surname could be Airght, Aright, Auight, Ainght? -  Three 
  small peaks with a dot high above the last peak.
* #30: Several small peaks at the end, interfered with by the "R" of 
  Ryan below.  Possibly "Flinn", could be "Flum".
* #39: Last two letters could be "ng", 4th letter could be K or C, 
  McAcoong?
* #42: Last name definitely looks like "Dogle" but could possibly be 
  "Doyle."
* #51: Possibly "Mrs." or "Ms." 
* #52: Second digit of age has been written over & cannot be deciphered.  
  There is a line  through sex, which probably indicates a "ditto" from 
  the entry above, i.e. "female"   although this recorder has used
 "do" throughout to indicated "ditto".

Correspondence 06/04/01 passenger #18 Kennedy
My ancestor, Michael Kennedy, who came to America aboard the ship 
Monongahela arriving in Philadelphia on June 16,1834 was from Ireland. 
He settled in Athens, Ohio and married Sarah Ann Cagg on 
September 28, 1843. My grandfather, John Michael Kennedy, 
is the only child that I am aware of that survived childhood 
and had descendents. Gordon Kennedy

Correspondence 09/10/01 passenger #47 Sennett
Hello my name is Michael McHenry. Great Grandson of Dorothy Klein (Sennett). 
Great great great great grandson of John W. Sennett of Lancastershire 
England. After arriving in Philadelphia, John married Mary E. Kester of 
Berlin Germany. They had three children; John (Died in Salisbury Prison 
during Civil War as a POW), Mary, and James E Sennett. James also served 
during the civil war Pa. 48th co. G. James had married Ella Rebbecca Kaup 
and had 10 children which only 3 had made it past the first year of life. 
Blanch E., James A. and Robert Earl. Robert is the father of my Great 
Grand mother Dorothy. This is where I lost the name. I do have many 
Sennett cousins still in the area and the name is very promanent and 
continues to grow. Michael McHenry
