Transcriber's Notes: 
* This list was found on 2 rolls, as arriving at Hampton and also Richmond, 
  Virginia.  This transcription is a combined list of the 2 originals.  It 
  was listed on the Hampton arrivals film, NARA M575 Roll 2, as departing 
  from London and Plymouth, on the Richmond roll, NARA M575 Roll 4, as 
  from London.  There was no captain's sworn statement for the Richmond 
  list, and it was part of an abstract for the second quarter of 1820 at 
  Richmond.  There were 35 passengers on the Hampton list, and 34 on the 
  Richmond list.  Passenger #35 perhaps left the ship at Hampton.  
  
  There was a question about the year of arrival for the Hampton list.  It was 
  marked as arriving in 1821, but only on the title page, which was written 
  at a later date, and marked 1820 on the list itself.  On the Richmond list, 
  it is clearly 1820, though only dated second quarter.  The exact date was 
  listed as 30 May 1820 on the Hampton list.  There were other discrepancies 
  between the two lists, which will be covered in the footnotes.

  #2 surname was practically illegible on Richmond list, but clearly Snell
     on Hampton list.
  #6 written as L. J. on Hampton list, and Louisa Jane on Richmond list.
  #7-13 surname written clearly as Oliver on the Richmond list, and seems to 
     be Oleier on the Hampton list, which could possibly be O'Leary. 
 #13 age written 9 months on the Hampton list, and 20 months on the Richmond 
     list.
 #14-16 gender was not clear on the Hampton list; they seemed to be ditto for 
     male, but that included Grace Gould.  On the Richmond list, Jessey White 
     was written as female.
 #15 written John on Richmond list, and Jno. on Hampton list.
 #18-19 occupation was written by their names on the Hampton list, but nothing 
     for Richmond.
 #19 written Mary Ann on Richmond list, Mary A. on Hampton list.
 #22 on the list for Hampton, this passenger is listed as Charlot, female.  
     On the Richmond arrival, marked as Charles, male.  
 #24 same as #15. 
 #26 written Robt. on the Hampton list, and Robert on Richmond list.
 #27 first name abbreviated to Geo. on the list for Hampton.
 #29 same as #27.
 #30 on Hampton list, this is marked as E. J., on Richmond looks like Ema.
 #31 on Hampton list, this is marked Eliza J., and female.  On Richmond list, 
     it is Elias, male.
 #32 marked Alfred J. on Richmond list, A. J. on Hampton.
 #34 on Hampton list, written as Agness, on Richmond list Anaissa.
 #35 this passenger may have gotten off at Hampton, as she was not on the 
     Richmond arrival list.
