    1. [MOMILLER] Colonel Cutts Passenger List 1855
    2. Paddy Buckley
    3. When I first looked on Ancestry.com for the Ferguson family on the Colonel Cutts I clicked on the transcript record for William Furgueson, which gave his name, age and date of arrival at New Orleans on Dec 3 1855. I then opened the original image which took me to page 3 of the manifest and there found the rest of the Furgueson family; Wm 40 farmer; Isabella 32 housekeeper; John 15 lab; Elizabeth 12; Martha 3. As I work on a 20 inch monitor, I thought I had all the information in front of me. However there was a small niggle of doubt. I went back to the start of the manifest: "List of all passengers taken on board the ship Colonel Cutts whereof Thomas (?O'Neill?) is Ship Master at the Port of Liverpool and bound for New Orleans". There is no date on the manifest image; the arrival date of Dec 3 1855 comes with the transcribed data. At the far right of the manifest (and well out of sight on the monitor) the last column is headed "Number that have died on the Passage". There were three such names out of 226 passengers. One was Wm Furgueson who died Nov 20th. I apologize for yesterday's incomplete postings to the list on this matter and hope that this will now resolve any doubts. Paddy
