Transcriber's Notes: 
* #4 the word "child" was dittoed for #4 but not for the other children of this group.  
* #10 surname could be Keefse, or Keepe.  Letter in question looks like p or f.  
* #10-12 origin and destination of last 3 passengers was confusing. Information was 
  not lined up.  #10 may be from Ireland or England, going to Upper Canada or New York.  
  #11 may be from England or America, going to New York or Pennsylvania.  #12 probably 
  from America, going to Pennsylvania.
