    3. Hi, Thanks to all with suggestions about finding ship Pocahontas. I had found the PRINTED LIST on Ancestry, it was the actual picture of the HANDWRITTEN MANIFEST I was trying to find again. Now I have figured out the problem - just so others may know!! Ancestry has two Philadelphia passenger lists for the time period I am searching. The list for Philadelphia 1800-1850 DOES NOT show the original document. The list 1800-1845 DOES show the original document. Not sure why the difference, but a heads up to try all options!
