This transcriber's ancestors are the family of #27, Oelrich Jagels. My gggrandfather is #30. It is known that an infant member of this family is not listed. She was Margaretha Jagels who was 11 months old. A passenger of note on this ship was #44, Henry Timken. Henry Timken later founded the Company which was to become the Timken Roller Bearing Co. The family consisting of #59-#65 consists of Lutje Grotheer, his wife and children, his son-in-law John Holschen and John's brother Frederik Holschen. They are known to have joined up with a group of Saxon Lutherans who had fled Germany because of religious persecution. They settled with the Saxons in Perry County, MO at Altenburg. A record of this can be found in the book "Zion on the Mississippi" by Walter O. Forster.If you are researching these families,
