Transcription/translation request for 1858 handwritten emigration document
I believe this is an 1858 emigration document for Margaret Euler nee Schaub, widow of Phillipp Euler, and her 7 children. I requested this document online from the Hessen Archives in Wiesbaden. I am new at this, don't speak German, and could sure use some help. Thank you!

I think the left hand column contains the following names and ages
Margarethe nee Schaub window of Johann Philipp Euler age 42, Maria Elizabeth age 20, Johann Georg age 17 born 30 Apr 1840, Anna Katharina age 16, Anna Maria age 13, Johannes age 12 bon 25 Dec 1845, Susanne age 10, Anna Katharina age 7. But I don't know what any of the other columns are.
