The ship Brooklyn Saints were LDS pioneers who sailed from New York to California (February 4 – July 31, 1846) to establish the first Mormon colony in the West. Due to religious persecution, leaders of The LDS Church planned to relocate the Mormon populace outside the United States. Two hundred thirty eight pioneers were recruited to sail around Cape Horn with heavy equipment for a large colony. They would plant crops and build infrastructure to receive the larger migration coming west by wagon the following year. Brooklyn took six months to sail 24,000 miles around Cape Horn to Alta California, surviving two terrible storms. Upon landing, the Brooklyn Saints were instrumental in building San Francisco and helped to kick off the California Gold Rush.

Research Notes

The "Ship Brooklyn" article mentions Augusta Joyce Crocheron, a passenger on the Ship Brooklyn, but her name is not the Hawaii Passenger Manifest.
Henry Rollins (1790-1865) was on the ship Brooklyn, his name is not found on the Hawaii manifest; is he Henry Rowland?

In the See also section, there are 2 links to the same page, titled Ship Brooklyn. The Brooklyn passenger list is to an Ancestry site that only people with a paid subscription can see. Please change to a free view.

The Ancestry site is the only place I have found the passenger list. If you can find a free view, please add it.

Rick, I was to quick in my answer and after a middle-of-the-night epiphany came to the conclusion that I need to follow through on my original plan, which was to add the 238 passengers in a table on this space page. Would you like to add your thoughts about table headings?

The same as on the original document, plus WT profile (Y/N), and/or ...

Hi Jo,

As written above, I cannot see the original because the link is only to the Ancestry paid view. You could make a free view of that link- it's been discussed how to do that in G2G. I assume the tables you have started have the same headings, and you've added the WT ID column. which is very nice to have I cannot think of a use for the last 2 columns, unless it is a followup about if they stayed in CA, or even stayed in the church, but I'm sure those have much less use and may be hard to fill in... Also, I would think the church records would have a list of people sent on that 'ministry'

Rick, I'm not sure what value the 2 columns have, I may end up deleting them. For now, I'm searching WT for their profiles and I'm liking my success rate so far. When I do find one, they have very good LDS records.
