There were 2 dates, but the earlier one, August 28, is probably the
date of arrival.
On the original, passenger numbers start over at #1 for steerage,
but has been altered here.
Town name Cincinnati, and Pensylv., spelled as found throughout the list.
For the baggage, the writer bracketed together the baggage for those who
seemed to be together. On this transcription, only those which were not
obvious will be footnoted here. The families' baggage will not be footnoted
as bracketed, though it was also.
Possibly one infant born on the voyage, see #146-149.

Correspondence 3/8/01 passenger #145 Sauer
#145 Peter Sauer, born about 1832, emigrated in 1847 at age 15 from his
home in Germany to start a new life with his brother Mathias, who had emigrated
earlier and was already living in Johnstown, Pennsylvania. Later they
were followed by another brother Ferdinand and sister Mary who moved to New
York. Their parents were Josef Sauer and Maria (Pfeiffer). Peter
Sauer married Josephine Meroditz in Johnstown, PA. They had at least one
child named Josephine Sauer.
Mathias Sauer moved to Stearns County, Minnesota and homesteaded 80 acres of
land which was deeded to him by the State of Minnesota on 20 November 1880.
Later Peter moved to MN, bought out Mathias' farm which was later lost and
the sheriff sold it. Thanks to the hard work of Gerald C. Sauer (of Texas)
this story would not be possible.
Jeffrey Sauer descendant of Mathias Sauer
Correspondence 09/22/02 passengers 156 & 157 Zipf
