Karl Schleif family immigration 1878

Our ancestors, Karl August Schleif and Hennriette Öhlke arrived at New York City on 4 Oct 1875.  They arrived from Bremen, Germany and their destination was Minnesota. 

They came on the S.S. Mosel, and the ship's passenger lists them as follows:
Name                      Age
Karl Schleif               48        farmer  (this age is incorrect, it should be 39)
Hennrietta Schleif      39        should be 38
Justine Schleif           65        should be about 70 (this is Karl's mother)
Johann Schleif          16       
Auguste Schleif          9
(illegible)                   9
Hanne Schleif             7
Gustav Schleif            5         should be about 7
Karl Schleif                4
Ottilie Schleif             3
August Schleif          6 mos.

The ages are not quite accurate and vary from later census records, however, the names are all correct, so we are sure this is them.
