I, John Hegarty, do solemnly, sincerely and truly swear that the Report or Manifest subscribed with my name, and now delivered by me to the Collector of the District of Philadelphia, contains, to the best of my knowledge and belief, a just and true account of all the passengers which were on board the Bark Barbara* at the time of her sailing from the port of Londonderry or which have been taken on board at any time since; that I am at present, and have been during the voyage, master of the said vessel. And I do likewise swear that all matters whatsoever in the said Report or Manifest are, to the best of my knowledge and belief, just and true. Sworn before me, this 3rd day of July 1850. (Signed) ?? Hopkins, D. Collector.
Report or Manifest of all the Passengers taken on board the Bark Barbara whereof Hegarty is Master, from Londonderry, burthen 325 British Tons, and owned by D. Baird & Co. of Londonderry and bound to Philadelphia.
Columns represent: name, age, sex, occupation, baggage, to what country belonging, country of which it is their intention to become inhabitants. All the passengers were from Ireland, and all intended to become inhabitants of the United States, so those columns have been eliminated here.
