Transcriber's Notes:

*  The use of an * indicates an omission or error made by the original 
   recorder.
*  The use of a ? indicates a word or letters that could not be read, 
   due to quality of original document.
*  The manifest was not numbered.
*  The following columns did not have any information written in them so 
   therefore they have been omitted.  Sex, To what County belonging, 
   Country of which it is their intention to become inhabitants and Number 
   and Names of Passengers that have died on the voyage. 
   The only exception is the To what Country belonging and it looks like 
   there is a bracket that would encompass the whole column and the word 
   Ireland. The word before this is unreadable. It is written the length 
   of the column.

The following information was written in the occupation column:

1) passengers # 1 thru 6 (from Ann Raferty to Mary Backhouse) has a bracket 
   around them and it states that "The family of Henry Backhouse of North 
   German Town Road Kensington"
2) passenger # 22 thru 26 (beginning with Rebecka Patterson thru 
   Ann Patterson is bracketed with the follwing notation, "the family of 
   Robt Patterson of N Water St. Phila  Citizen of U S"
3) passenger # 29 thru 31 (beginning with Mary Hughes and ending with 
   Mary Hughes) has the following notation, "The family of John Hughes 
   Kensington.
4) passenger # 36 thru 38 (beginning with Mary Brecken and ending with 
   Ann Brecken) is bracketed with the following notation, "the family of 
   James Brecken Tavern Keeper No 198 N Water St Philadel
