NOTE: List C is the only list for this ship.
Thanks goes to Chuck Garst, whose ancestor, Johann Nickel Gerst, was aboard this ship.
(Information taken from his genealogy files and his family book, (_Our Garst Family In America_, by W.T. Garst 1950). This is the data he has on the ship ISAAC , no original hardcopy on hand. This was converted to data format by a family researcher a few years ago:
The following information was taken from the book entitled "Pennsylvania German Pioneers, A Publication of the Original Lists of Arrivals In the Port of Philadelphia From 1727 to 1808," By Ralph Beaver Strassburger, LL.D.. Note that many officials were not good or consistent spellers, that many immigrants could not spell their own names, and foreign accents, in some cases, might have been misunderstood.
