Determination has not been made on the usual capacity of the the ship Elizabeth, but attention is directed to the "Petition of several subscribers German" extracted from the same Journal which complains that over-crowding was one of the breaches of contract. Further research is needed to compile a complete list. It is noted that Jacob Beard was one of the petitioning Germans, and since he is not on this List, there is a probability that he was forced to "bind himself out" to pay for his passage and will be found to apply for his bounty grant at a later date. NOTE TO DEBRA-- "BOUND OUT" means to work for somebody for a specific amount of time. This was usually done to pay for passage or in some cases to earn a "nest egg" before going out to occupy their landgrant. I am not sure about the name change, but they have Anglizied(sp) the name upon arrival in the new country. I hope that some of you could find your ancestor on this list, but there were many names that I could not figure out what the current translation for it could be.
