*** Transcribers notes ***
WI is West Indies.
There is a faint scratch mark following the burthen 307 that may be
initials or other information. It is illegible under magnifying glass
and when enlarged and darkened on a copier.
As to the part of the vessel occupied, there are clearly six letters and
they look like Ieabar but that seems doubtful and there is so little
information on this manifest that it is difficult to establish a
handwriting pattern.
