Passenger List for the Ship Oglethorpe, July 7, 1838

Reproduced below is a transcript of the complete handwritten passenger list presented by the ship's captain to port authorities upon the arrival of the ship.  The handwriting is sometimes hard to read, so I made my best guess on some names.  I transcribed the list from Family History Library Film 0200145 which is a copy of the National Archives and Records Administration's microfilm publication "Passenger Lists of Vessels Arriving at New Orleans, 2 July 1838 - 29 January 1839."  Beneath the transcript, I have added annotations giving additional information on each member of the families traveling from the Meuse to Darke County.

Sworn before me, this the 7th day of July 1838.  ----------, Collector.

There were 71 passengers.
