Passenger list of the ship Bark Mississippi.

The not so good snapshot of the Maves ladies in a celebration. It will have to do for now. The Maves tree is maternal line through a Husby Marriage. It is not in the Luhmann / Meyer Ancestry line. a shirt tail branch, of course. Therefore it would be best if You can read more at this blog. http://therootsofitall.blogspot.com/

Other notes:
3: no given name entered. Occupation is capt. of what could be “sotd.” I checked this against the transcription in Germans to America. Apparently that transcriber couldn’t make it out either and just entered “capt.”
10-11: umlaut over a
13: umlaut over o
19: umlaut over u
25: the only letters in this surname I’m sure of are D and e. It could be Du?ve. Germans to America calls it Dwve.
45: age is written as 9 3/5 in the month column
77: Germans to America has this name as Muhlbrunner, I see it as Muhlbrunna
84: even Germans to America did not attempt to transcribe this second name
97-99: umlaut over o
123: fell overboard and was drowned
121-128: unlaut over o
129: ? in name is smudged; could be Prawitz or Prewitz
135-141: umlaut over o
144-149: umlaut over a
158-165: Germans to America sees this name as Wolting, but the W does not resemble other Ws on this list
174-175: umlaut over u
175: heavy line drawn through this name; I can’t be absolutely sure of the name
199: umlaut over u
200: umlaut over a
205: umlaut over a
212-214: umlaut over u
229: heavy line drawn through this name Correspondence 4/27/00 My Ancestors Twin brother was # 70 Wilhelm SCHLESIER on the ship "Bark Mississippi" from Bremen to New York that arrived on 10 Jun 1856. He resided in Manhattan and in latter life Brooklyn, NY. He was in the Civil War and he was a Cooper all his life. Wilhelm Schlesier was: 1. Born 28 July 1829 in Altenburg, Saxony, Germany 2. Died 28 March 1904 at 71 N. 1st St, Brooklyn, NY 3. Private in 11th Regiment, NY Veteran Volunteers from 1861 to 1863, (2 years and 3 months) and was stationed at Fort Castle Williams, Governers Island, NYC NOTE A LITTLE KNOWN FACT! The above military information is not in the National Archives as All Military that that did not go to battles and stayed in their home states were not considerered by the archivists to be in the Civil War. This leaves probably 500,000 to a million soldiers that are not registered in the National Archives as being in the Civil war. They show up in the 1890 Federal Military Census, if they were still alive. Wilhelms brother Carl Schlesier was a private in the 28th Reg,Co A, New York National Guard, for about 3 years during the Civil War. His Regiment was called for 30 days, to the Battle of Gettysburg. Therefore he is listed in the National Archives as being in the Civil war for 30 days.Robert A. Schlesier Correspondence 1/19/02 passenger #21 Lockemacher/Lackemacher Friedrick Lockemacher, passenger 21, is believed to be Johann Friedrich Lackemacher b 1798 father of Wilhelm L. Lackemacher b 1828. Wilhelm and his wife, Christine Rosenbohm arrived in 1852 aboard the ship Agnes. Friedrich would be my ggggrandfather. Karl Lackemacher
