Even if he did, he may no t have taken the same surname as his married sons. All adult men choose there own. not sure if she converted or not.

At that time, boys in germany could be drafted at age 10. arrived port of New York (same records shown for New Orleans) 23 Jul 1873 Antje donker came to the us on the Nevada (captain forsyth). Her last stop in europe was Genoa (having gotten on the ship in either bremen or hamburg.) she lists herself as 57 years old. She lists Jan as 47, johan as 11, kander (note spelling) as 33 and paul as 19. If Reinder's age is correct, then he is not the son of Jans. It is possible she is his step-mother or the Donker papers were sold and used by another family. Since the same family appears in passenger lists more than once, this is quite possible but both show the same ages and both son Jans as living. Ages on passenger lists haev been known to be wrong but usually only by a few years. occupation: laborers. Reason for travel ' 'staying in the United states.' ' dated july 23, 1873. A cross check with the American Archives shows Antje as 47 and the wife of Jan age 57 who was a laborer as was Kander and Paul while Johann is marked ' 'child' '. The ship sailed fro Liverpool England. Genoa may have been during their travels to Liverpool. SS Nevada Builder: Jeremiah Simonson, Brooklyn, New York. Engine: Vertical-beam by Morgan Iron Works, New York. Launch: March 18, 1865 as the Paou Shan. Original Owner: Captain Thomas W. Dearborn. Wooden side-wheel steamer, 3 decks, 2 masts. 1,691 tons, 281 feet (Heyl cites 2,145 tons, 286 feet). - later upgraded to 2020 tons per new rules. Thomas W. Dearborn had her built on speculation – he planned on selling her to the U.S. Government for use during the Civil War. It appears that she was sold to a Thomas Dexter, who then sold her to William H. Webb on November 9, 1866, and her named changed to Nevada. She sailed from New York on her trial trip on May 9, 1867 and made three voyages from New York to San Juan de Nicaragua for the North American Steamship Company in 1867. She operated on the San Francisco-Panama run from December 1867 through October 1868 and then, when the North American Steamship Company couldn’t cover its debt to William H. Webb, ownership of the Nevada, and North American’s other ships, reverted to him. Webb, with Ben Holladay, organized the California, New Zealand & Australia Steamship Company and turned this ship, along with the Nebraska, Dakota, and Moses Taylor (which had also been sailed by Captain James H. Blethen, Sr.) over to this line. The Nevada remained in that service from 1871 to 1873 when the California, New Zealand & Australia Steamship Company discontinued its services as it was insufficiently lucrative. Every ship that ever sailed has stories that would fill tomes. The vessels were important in ways beyond imagination because of current access to various types of mass transit and information at our fingertips. For example, the New Zealand Letter, written in Auckland on May 21, by a correspondent of the Alta California reports that whole towns turned out in New Zealand when Captain James H. Blethen, Sr. sailed ' 'the magnificent Steamer Nevada' ' into port: ' 'In Auckland, after the signal had been run up that she was making for the harbor true to her time almost to an hour – the excitement was intense, and thousands crowded on the wharf awaiting her arrival.' ' A luncheon had been arranged where the Governor of the Colony, 150 merchants and the townspeople honored Captain Blethen, Mr. Webb, Jr., the American Consul for Victoria and the Defense Minister. She was greeted thusly at every port. Because of gold strikes down under, population in Australia had gone from 405,356 in 1850 to 1,647,756 in 1870, vastly increasing the import of ships that brought in goods and mail. In 1873, she was purchased by the Pacific Mail Steamship Company, which placed her on its Yokohama-Shanghai branch line. On an 1875 passage between the Sandwich Islands and Tahiti, a passenger wrote a detailed account of a journey on her in the South Pacific, under the command of Captain James H. Blethen. The writer details the poor state of the steamer in her last days. The Nevada spent her last years as the Saikio Maru as part of the Mitsubishi Mail Steamship Company. Australia Steamship Company, 217 Sansome, Honolulu-New Zealand, Australia. |
