Personal Notes: Many of the Passengers on this ship settled on farms in the Town of Wheatfield, Niagara County, New York. Correspondence 10/16/2004 passengers #54-61 Bode/Rhode I am of the very strong opinion that line items 54 through 61, which indicate the immigration of the Bode family, is really the immigration of the Rhode family. The basis for my opinion is per various old church records of Western NY, census reports, and the book titled "More Prussian Transplanting in Wheatfield" by Eugene W. Camann copyright 1997.
