Transcriber's Notes:
* The original document did not list anyone in the "passengers who have died
on the voyage" column, so it has been omitted.
* Passenger numbers added to aid with referencing.
* "Farmers, Mechanics, and Laborers" was written once in large letters, in
the occupation column. A bracket indicated that this meant all of the
passengers, except for the last two men on the list, were either farmers,
mechanics, or laborers.
* "Great Britain and Ireland" was written once and a bracket was drawn to
indicate that these passengers were either from Great Britain or Ireland.
* In the sworn statement, "swear" was crossed out and replaced with "affirm".
* In the sworn statement, "sworn" was crossed out and replaced with "affirmed".
* Wm is commonly an abbreviated form of William.
* Thos is commonly an abbreviated form of Thomas.
