Dear Armin,
A few years ago genealogy.com allowed offered monthy subscription price for the ship records. I think I paid about $15.00 for a month. At that time they did not have any viewable ship records..I think the records for the most part were from various publications such as Germans to America and the like.
You mentioned that the Hattorf surname at genealogy.com references two results..genealogical papers and historical papers. Is there further source data included with the result of genealogical papers and/or historical papers..such as dates/location, publisher, etc.? Perhaps alternate source of data could be located...

P.S. Perhaps there is free trial period you could sign for in order to gather this data.
BTW. Genealogical & Historical papers may just mean that the name appears in a published genealogy... which would not likely be extremely valuable data if only a name with birth and deathdate.
Hello,
In the 1870 census (Clay-WD-Richmond Virginia) there is:
Frederick A. Hattorf age 52 born in Hannover, manufacturer of
bitters?? hard to
read).
Also Mary, age 24 Keeping house, born (can't read it),
Amelia, age 8, Robert age 5, Sophia age 2
This is on page 89 and 90
There is another Hattorf in 1870 by the name of AM Hattorf, age 54
in Carrollton Louisiana, born in Louisiana. He is black. Living with another
male Hattorf (can't read the first name).
That is all I can find of Hattorf or Hattorff in 1870.
In 1880, there is another listing of Hattorfs (same family as above)
in Henrico County Virginaia. Frederick but there is Mary, age 38 born in
Saxony, and the children born in Hannover.
I doubt that this is any help to you. I am using the Heritage Quest
index to the census. Obviously, there are many mistakes by the census taker
and how the person reads it for the index.
I don't find Hattorf(f) in 1860. The census for 1830, 1840, and 1850
are not on the system at all. I tried variations of spelling, but still
found no more.
