On this same vessel were Jacob Lazarus, 23 years, David Lazurus, a 29 year old mechanic, George Platener, 26 years, and Henry Sterner, 22 years, both goldsmiths, and Francis Row a 22 year old jeweller. Their occupations and names suggest that they were of the Hebrew congregation. Further the name of Phillipson's property Assenbein suggests German origins.
