Lolleys Immigrate to America
Susannah Lolley and her children appear on the manifest of the Panama which sailed into New York City on June 16, 1845 from Hull, England. Under occupation it lists her as "going to her husband" which means that William did not die in England as was previously believed.
Part of the original image is unclear, but it seems to note that the family was planning to settle in Wayne County, New York.
