This is a mention of W.R. Dubose on a ship transcribed by the Immigrant Ship Transcribers Guild: http://istg.rootsweb.com/1800/richmondco790324.html I thought someone might be interested in the name. It seems to indicate that Mr./Dr. Dubose was already a resident of the US and was returning on this ship. SS City of Richmond manifest of 1879 - Liverpool to New York 16 W.R.
