Ship Thornton
DISTRICT OF NEW YORK – PORT OF NEW YORK
I, John E. Wells, Master of the Ship Thornton, do solemnly, sincerely, and truly swear that the following List or Manifest, subscribed by me, and now delivered by me to the Collector of the Customs of the Collections District of New York, is a full and perfect list of all the passengers taken on board of the said Ship Thornton at Liverpool from which Port said Ship Thornton has now arrived; and that on the said list is truly designated the age, the sex, and the occupation of each of the said passengers, the part of the vessel occupied by each during the passage, the country to which each belongs, and also the country of which it is intended by each to become an inhabitant; and that said List or Manifest truly sets forth the number of said passengers who have died on said voyage, and the names and ages of those who have died. Sworn to, this 13th May 1867 before me (signed) John E. Wells.
List or Manifest of all the passengers taken on board the Ship Thornton is Master, from Liverpool burthen 1622 tons.
Columns represent: passenger number (formatted as written), name, age, sex, occupation, country to which they belong, country which they intend to inhabit, accommodation. The "Died on the Voyage" column has been eliminated, as only one passenger died aboard ship (see transcriber's notes at end of list).
