Riekelt Scholten

Riekelt Scholten probably emigrated from Rotterdam to New York, arriving in June 1855 on the ship recorded as Tarolinta, where he is listed as a 42-year-old farmer. Two of his young sons reportedly died on the passage. The match is likely but not confirmed, because the list does not name his home town.
