Correspondence regarding name of ship and captain
I have long wondered about the origin of the ship's name "Kammonham
Roy" (or whatever it really was). Tonight I learned the answer from
Cimorelli's Website, data provided by Peg and John Faludi. 

Evidently the ship was named in memory of Raja Rammohan Roy 1772-
1833, variously spelled Rammohun Roy and Ram Mohan Roy), a reformer
known as the Father of Modern India. The Google search engine found over
2000 links to his name. 

I had earlier learned that the ship's captain William Cutts was a
resident of Pittston, Maine. He appears in several census lists, also in
the Basford genealogy at
http://www.basford.org/genealogy/jacob-basford/rr01/rr01_054.htm.
Michael Schulz (ISTG thanks Michael for this information)

Correspondence 02/12/03 passengers #15-17 Bartel
Martin was the father of Wilhelm/William, Friedrich/Frederick, Charlotte, 
and Caroline, who came originally on the Ship Georgiana arriving 
6 September 1839 and the name is spelled Barthold passengers #68-72.
Mary Barthel

Correspondence 05/09/03 passengers #25-30 Ziehm 
This ship carried Christian Ziehm & family.  The father's name was 
Christian and mother's name was Olga.  They were my great great
great grandparents.  They settled in North Tonawanda & Grand 
Island, NY. John Ziehm
