Pennsyvlania German Pioneers (1) records three kinds of immigrant lists for ships arriving in Pennsylvania between 1727 and 1775. (Vol. I, p xliii)

A. Captains' lists.
B. Oath of allegiance signers.
C. Oath of abjuration signers.

Vol. I has transcriptions of the lists. Vol. II has facsimiles of the original signatures.

The Molly/Molley sailed from Rotterdam under "Jno. Hodgeson, Master," stopped in Deal, England for "Clearance from Officers of Customs there," and arrived at Penn's Landing in Philadelphia on September 30, 1727 with about 300 immigrants. (Vol. 1, p13) This was one of the first ships for which passenger lists were recorded, and Capt. Hodgeson made a list only of males over the age of 16.
