1752 Sally

Captain: John Robinson (died on voyage)
From: Rotterdam 30 May 1752
Arrival: Halifax between 26 Aug and 6 Sep 1752 but disembark until 26 Sep 1752 because of the sickness and/or lack of housing for the passengers.

Encountered long, stormy trip. Left with 258 passengers. Arrived with 218 passengers. Many people died during the voyage (15.5 %) or in the first weeks after arrival and several of the children were listed as orphans shortly after arrival. 

The original ship list was organized by the size of the family. The single men over 15 years old were listed first, followed by the men with a wife but no children, then by those with a wife and one child, etc. The following list has been restructured by locality from the southwest and to the northeast. The single men who were listed separately but were apparently part of a family, are included in this list with their parents. It appears that those from northern and eastern German provinces were fewer and usually single young men, probably more the adventurers than the more typical family emigration that came from southern German provinces.

It is not possible to identify all the people on the ship because often a family would take an older parent or step children who are not easy to identify in the available sources, however all those in each household were listed under "Freight". Following are the abbreviations used here: 1m = 1 (adult) man, 1w = 1 (adult) woman, 1 hf = 1 half freight (i.e. child between 4-14 years old), 1c = 1 child under 4 (goes free), 3f = 3 freights (total, e.g could be a family of five: parents, two children between 4-14, and one child under 4), 5h = 5 heads (i.e. total number of people in the group).

The place of origin was generally the state, province, or city-state, however in some cases a town was listed (or the town might have been a small duchy or independent town in 1753). The origins of these people have yet to be verified and this list will be updated as time permits. The names on the reconstructed list have been rearranged according to their place of origin from the southwest to northeast.
