African-American texts from the Modern English Collection -- Electronic Text Center






Compiled from Robert T. Brown, Immigrants to Liberia 1843-1865: An Alphabetical Listing, Philadelphia, Institute for Liberian Studies (1980).

Brown compiled this list of Liberian immigrants from passenger manifests and from ship lists published in the African Repository, the journal of the American Colonization Society. According to Brown, documenting the names of the travelers and obtaining information about them was a difficult project because of the "internal difficulties of the Colonization society" and its "haphazard" record keeping (i).

Here, we have compiled from Brown's work a list of all of the immigrants from Virginia entered on the passenger manifest for the December, 1856 voyage of the M. C. Stevens. Most of the passengers on that ship seem to have been part of the Terrell group, though there are a few groups of passengers who are not mentioned in any of the Terrell letters (i. e. the James, the Norfleets, and the Powells). Not included here are the passengers from states other than Virginia.

Brown's list provides the name, age, state, status (emancipated, free, or purchased), education, and occupation. The education and occupation of all of the Terrell immigrants are unknown.
