Transcriber's Notes: 
There was no destination given for the last 5 passengers.  
For the Pickets, USA was written only once and then that family was 
bracketed for the destination. 
    
  #10-11 letters in surname could be eav.  Looks like Reavlings 
    but could also be Rawlings, if it was copied incorrectly from 
    the original. 
  #12 surname looks like Scugrave, but as with previous names, 
    if it was copied incorrectly it could be Seagrave.
  #14 could be Fowler or Fowles.
