Transcriber's Notes:

* It appears that quotation marks (") were used indiscriminately to fill
  any blank spaces on the manifest form, therefore only the notation "do"
  was interpreted to mean the same as the line above.
* The Country to which they severally belong had a single entry on the
  first line in the list, Ireland. The country in which they intend to
  become inhabitatants was not indicated.
* The question mark (?) indicates a letter or letters that could not be read.

Transcriber's Comment:

* The ships manifest indicates the passage was from Harve to New York.
  On the other hand the only indication of the nationality of the passengers
  is Irish. Did the ship stop at a port somewhere in Ireland?
* My guess is that the manifest was completed by the master, whose native
  language was French and who had a rudementary knowledge of English. What
  resulted was a "French soundex" of the names of his passengers who spoke
  English with an Irish accent. In addition the spelling is inconsistent and 
  the penmanship rather poor.

Correspondence 04/19/2003 passengers #45-51 Gugoucy - believed to be Gugerty
In the Manifest dated July 29, 1828, on a French sailing ship named, 
"Ship Quatre Freres,"  there is the passengers  being  listed as: 
Sebastian  or passenger numbered #45, and through passenger number 51 
or Cassandra.  The name makes no sense but it appears to be the name 
we refer to as Gugerty.

My Great Great Grandfather was Michael Gugerty, who passed away in 
1864, leaving behind 3 kids and 600 acres of land in Kansas. James Sylvester, 
the youngest of the 3 kids came west in the late 1800's and opened up the 
first White Sewing machine outlet west of the Rocky Mountains, and the 
Gugerty's in the East and Midwest are still separated. So let's get in 
touch, and start sharing. David J. Gugerty
