In the Beaver County Times dated 14 Sep 1973, a list of steamboat families of Georgetown was compiled by TS Laughlin of Beaver, PA.  Walter Poe was the source of the list of steamboat men, packets and towboats associated with Georgetown. 

I have updated the steamboat crews listed on the page Steamer Officer Biographies.  A summary follows:

    (1)  Masters and Pilots             52
    (2)  Clerks                                9
   (3)   Engineers                          11
    (4)  Mates                               12
    (5)  Ship Carpenters                  4
    (6)  Stewards                           16 

I will also update my list of packets and towboats.
