Note from Larry Reedy: This list does not include the women and children on board. The ages that Commander Percy recorded for each male passenger is a bit younger than they really were.They were being sold as indentured servants in Philadelphia on the same day they were being naturalized by the govenor, and the younger they were the more they were worth. On the trip up the Rhine, the germans were ripped off of their personal wealth by shisters, so that by the time they made Rotterdam, they were broke. The only way they could board the ship was to sell themselves to the Commander as indentured servants. The commander would record their ages minus a few years.
