Nancy of London Charles Stedman Master from Rotterdam but last from Plymouth did this day take & Subscribe the Oaths of Government. *Passenger numbers were added to this list for convenience, and were not on the original list. *The Captain note in the margin of the ship's passenger list states that passengers 8, 9, 12, 13, 42, 58, and 60 were ill. They must have been unable to sign the oaths. *In the names of passengers 1, 4, 14, 15, 16, 19, 29, 32, 40, 47, 48, 77, 89, 93, 94, and 109, "ss has been substituted for the esstset which was in the passenger's signature. * Passenger 1: There is an umlaut over the o in Botz. *Passengers 14, 89, and 116: There is an umlaut over the o in Jorg. *There is an umlaut over the u in the signatures of passengers 3, 16, 18, 55, 56, 72, 89, 100, and 116. *There is a u cap over the u in the signatures of passengers 27, 30, 32, 57, 64, and 111. *Passenger 28: There is an umlaut over the a in Batzor. *Passenger 97: There is an umlaut over the o in Gorg. *There is an umlaut over the o in the signature of passenger 107. *Passengers 19, 36, 39, 41, 43, 46, 48, 49, 51, 52, 53, 54, 61, 62, 66, 67, 68, 69, 73, 80, 82, 84, 88, 105, 106, and 115 were unable to write their own names. Someone else spelled their names phonetically, and these passengers made their marks. This accounts for much of the variation in spelling to be found within this transcription. *The word wife was written, in a different hand, following the name of passenger 87 on the Oath of Allegiance. *There is a diacritical mark above the y in the signature of passenger 108. *The paper on which the original ship's list was printed wore away at some of its fold lines.

I understand they were primarily farmers and settled in Bedford County PA. John Peter Lehman (my grandad's father) owned the Metropolitan hotel in Mann's Choice PA (still in operation) and Peter Lehman was listed as schoolmaster at the Mennonite school. Hans (aka John) was not the younger son,but the eldest, born in 1723. Hans was not the only member of the "Charming Nancy" Lehmans to Anglosize their names: the Mom, Ferona(born 1700) changed to Veronica; Catrina (born 1730)changed to Catherina. Barbara was born in 1725 and son Benedict was born in 1727. Benedict (Dad) was also born in 1700 - same as Mom. Peter, (schoolmaster) was born in 1812 and died 1897. My grandfather, John Albert Lehman, was a farmer in Cambria County PA. Although my Dad passed away, 2 of his sisters are still living in Cambria County. Thanks Karen Lehman Kelley
