The passengers correct spelling is Samuel Shepperd. wife Susan and 5 little people. The bloke,s my GG Grandfather .... I know people were illiterate in 1848 but Now 2018 its GOTTA be corrected . His stonemasonry was legendary in Noarlunga and around Pt. Lincoln Sth. Aust. Spell it RIGHT , get it RIGHT for history .
