Transcriber's Notes:     

* The original Quarterly List had columns for Name of Vessel, Month and Year of Arrival, 
  and Where from.  These columns have been incorporated into title information. The ships 
  have been transcribed individually.

* None died on the voyage, therefore the column is omitted.

* Passengers were numbered by the transcriber.

* The Quarterly List of the 4th Quarter of 1820 carried the Collector's Office statement 
  following the last ship. The name of the signer may be J.R. Pringle.

? The question mark indicates illegible letters or words on the original document.

  35,36,37,38 Age illegible due to damaged manifest.

My ancestor Hugh McDOWELL was born c.1785 in Raloo, County Antrim, Ireland, 
and arrived in Charleston, South Carolina, USA on 15 November 1820 on the 
brig Prince Leopold from Belfast.  He came with sons John (age 14) & 
Thomas (age 7) and daughters Mary (age 5) & Ann (age 3).  The family 
went to Chester County, SC, where he was a farmer and shoemaker.   
Hugh made application for citizenship "for himself and his family" 
in 1828 in Chester Co., SC.  Hugh and his elder son both died in 1829.  
About 1836, Mary married James Jones and Ann married John Downing Jones; 
both migrated to Tennessee and Mary later went on to Mississippi.  The 
fate of son Thomas is unknown at this time.
I would welcome e-mails to Nan Roose from others researching 
this family.
