There was no captain's sworn statement with this manifest.
List or Manifest of all the Passengers taken on board the Duchess d'Orleans
whereof S Richardson is Master from Havre burthen 179 68/95 Tons.
Columns: names, age (years,months), sex, occupation, the country to
which they severally belong, the Country in which they intend to become inhabitants
and died on the voyage. All passengers are listed as belonging to Bavaria, so I have
entered it only at the top of the list. There were no entries in the months column nor in the
died on the voyage column, so they were eliminated. All adult males were assigned the occupation
of Labourer, so that column is also not shown. Passenger numbers were added by the
transcriber.

Passenger Notes:
1 La?der - Could be Lauder or Lander
2 Wild - given name could be Casenni
70,71 Broun - could be Bronn, both given names are written as Ludwig
76 Kerm??r - could be Kermmer
79 Schwo?re - could be Schwocre or Schwoere
89 Kuster - Sex entered as M, Auguste is usually a female name
94,100 Kleiser - both listed as Marie
112 La?der - could be Lauder or Lander
124-130 This page was filmed out of order. I placed it following the Zeiger
family because the children, with no surname listed, follow the descending age
pattern the captain consistently uses. The transcriber believes that the
surname for these children is Zeiger.
165 This page was filmed out of order. I placed it following the Allgaier
family because the infant with no surname follows the descending age
pattern the captain consistently uses. The transcriber believes that this
infant's surname is Allgaier.
171-173 - Gr?ebel - could be Graebel or Groebel
257 - Do?? - could be Donn
The Schimpf family: Passengers #19-24 and #32-36
The Schimpfs are ancestors of the transcriber. Andreas and Katharina are her
ggggrandparents, Frederic and Rosina are her gggrandparents, and Elizabeth
is her ggrandmother.They emigrated from Hößlinsülz, Württemberg, Germany
(not Bavaria as is written on the manifest). They were farmers and vineyard
workers. Elizabeth Schimpf married Johann Peter Ross, who arrived in America
on 27 June 1854 on the Ship William Tell.
Unfortunately, the parish records from the Löwenstein-Hößlensülz area were
destroyed by bombing near the end of WWII. Emigration records state that
Andreas' wife was born Kathrina Gruber. Friedrich's wife was born Rosina
Sammet. It is possible that the Sammet family (#37-41) on this manifest are
relatives of Rosina Sammet Schimpf.
After arriving in New York, the Schimpf families travelled by boat and wagon
to Chatfield Township, Crawford County, Ohio where they established farms.
Many descendants of the Schimpf families currently live in Crawford County.
You may contact Mary Ross regarding the Schimpf or Sammet families.
The Duchess D'Orleans
La Duchess d'Orleans is classified as a Sail Packet.
Ship Duchess d'Orleans of New York, 799 tons, built at New York in
1838.
