Hi everyone, I have just completed indexing 24 passenger lists from the Pennsylvania Baggage Lists of 1809. These contain the names of passengers who had to pay taxes on excess baggage. It does not contain the names of passengers who were exempt because their luggage was not over the limit. I decided to index all names, not just passenger names, but also the names of those shipping luggage or goods, and the names of those where the goods were being shipped. More will follow as I have time, or as volunteers are found to help. Here is the list of ships I just put online. All sailed to Philadelphia Pennsylvania 1809 Jan 5 Brig Lamprey from Kingston Jamaica 1809 Jan 5 Schooner Wanton from Jamaica 1809 Jan. 30 Schooner Swift from Puerto Rico 1809 Mar. 8 Ship Cordelia from Martinique 1809 Mar. 11 Ship Union from Plymouth & Lorient 1809 Mar. 24 Schooner Archibald from Puerto Rico 1809 Apr. 11 Swedish Ship Abo from St. Bartholomews & Turks Island 1809 Apr. 18 Brig Jean from Liverpool 1809 Apr.18 Ship Mary from London 1809 Apr. 20 Swedish Schooner Maria from St. Thomas 1809 Apr. 22 Ship Live Oak from Liverpool 1809 Apr. 24 Brig Lovely Lass from Batavia 1809 Apr. 29 Ship Ann & Hannah from Turks Island 1809 Apr. 20 Brig Gustaf Ekerman from St. Bartholomew 1809 May 2 Ship Edward & Charles from London 1809 May 2 Schooner George & Susan from Nassau 1809 May 2 Ship Recovery from Liverpool 1809 May 3 Ship Diana from Liverpool 1809 May 8 Brig Reindeer from Havana 1809 May 9 Brig Palafos from Havana 1809 May 9 Schooner Ranger from Puerto Rico 1809 May 9 Schooner Five Sisters from Puerto Rico 1809 May 10 Schooner Blanche from St. Bartholomew 1809 May 10 Brig Ann from Liverpool Most of the ships also have the image of the manifest online too. I will be putting them all online as I have time, so if the one you want isn't there, just come back and check in a few days. You can get to the lists several ways - by going directly to the Baggage Lists for PA at http://www.rootsweb.com/~ote/ships/#paships or by starting at the index to Ships to USA 1805-1810 at http://olivetreegenealogy.com/ships/tousap14b.shtml by going to Ships to PA 1800-present at http://olivetreegenealogy.com/ships/tousa_pa1800.shtml This is another project of Olive Tree Genealogy to fill in the gaps, and one that I hope to carry on to 1820, which is when full passenger lists began to be archived and are available to us Enjoy! All data on Olive Tree is free for everyone to use, so if you like this new project, please spread the word to other researchers.
