Slave Manifest of the Katherine Jackson
A list of the slaves transported from Alexandria, Virginia to New Orleans on the Katherine Jackson in November and December, 1838.

New Orleans, Louisiana, was one of the most active U.S. ports in the 19th century, welcoming immigrants from France, Germany, Ireland, and the Caribbean. Passenger lists from this port date back to the 1820s and offer rich genealogical details. Louisiana’s French and Spanish colonial past adds layers of complexity, with some earlier immigration recorded in church or territorial records. These manifests help trace settlers who moved inland along the Mississippi River and beyond.
