  	Left Le Havre, France, on the Granville autumn of 1839, but arrived New Orleans on the Alexandré Toussin Dec 26. Via Havana. Gary L. Yordy: "The passengers on the Granville are also listed as passengers on the ship Alexandre Toussin, which arrived in New Orleans two days earlier. In order to clear up the mystery, I went to the Maritime Museum at the University of North Carolina Wilmington. The following information was obtained from varied documents found there. Both the Granville and Toussin embarked from Le Havre, heading for New Orleans in the fall of 1839. The Granville (primarily a passenger ship) was to sail directly to New Orleans. The Toussin (carrying a few passengers and cargo) was scheduled to stop in Havana on its way to New Orleans. For unknown reasons, the Granville made an unscheduled stop at Havana on or about December 19, 1839. The steerage passengers on the Granville were then transferred to the Toussin to make the crossing of the Gulf of Mexico, arriving in New Orleans on Dec. 26. The Granville did not arrive until Dec. 28. The passenger manifest from the Granville had been copied in Havana and given to the captain of the Toussin. Thus both ship's lists show the same steerage passengers."

• Notes

  From Elsaß, Canton Niederrhein (No doubt Niederbronn-les-Bains). There is enough circumstantial evidence to be fairly sure Christian was a brother to Peter. [4]
