(signed) Robt Finch Transcriber's Notes: The use of a ? indicates a word or letters that could not be read, due to the quality of original document. Ditto marks were used on the original document in the occupation column for all members of the same family, even though they were very young children and infants. On the original document the last column was Died on Voyage, but since there were none, that column was eliminated. On the original document, the passengers were not numbered. They are numbered here to make the transcribers notes easier to follow. Passenger #15 - very difficult to read, could be Robt. Passenger #25 - could be Ganyer, Ganjer, Ganger. Passenger #39 - could be Lindsy or something similar. Passenger #40 - This passenger's name doesn't show at all due to damage to the original document, the age is partly visible and its clear that he is a male, a mariner and going to Ohio. He is the first member of this family listed. Passenger #41 - Last name unknown because it was a ditto of the above. Passenger #42 - Last name unknown because it was a ditto of the above. Passenger #43 - There was damage to this part of the original as well. The transcriber could not determine the first name. Passenger #78 - Could be Deuchs. Passengers #94, 95 & 101 - George and Rosetta's last name is spelled Pearson, but then spelled Pierson for their child, passenger #101.
