Notes
General notes:
* this enrollment notes that she was built in 1836 which is an error; She was built during the 1832-1833 winter;
U.S. Merchant Vessels says she was built at Maumee, Ohio, in 1846, but was really built at Maumee in 1832-1833 winter; rebuilt in 1836 and again in 1850;
1864 vessel register says she was built in 1846 by Stanley; This could be another rebuild as records are missing from 1844 to 1850;
