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.
* #2 First name most probably James, Pittsburg spelled the same throughout
manifest
* #3 Under occupation "stand at the Furnace"
* #4 & #5 This word appears to be Bridgewater, however the letters were cut
off in filming
* #7 Letter looks like either an e or d
* #8 The third could be an a or u, the fourth letter looks like a
letters six and seven are unreadable
* #12 The second letter may be an a or o, the third letter swings upward
and may be an l. There may even be another letter at the end that was
completely unreadable because of smearing
* #14 This name is repeated and under the column Age(years) there is a
diagonal hash mark / and what appears to be a very tiny letter or number
above the hash mark
* #15-17 There is a parenthesis in the last column of the manifest with the
word "on???" the rest of the wording is cut off, I believe this is
indicating one family
* #18-21 Same as explained above (15-17)so 23 the first letter appears
to be an S but is slightly smaller at the bottom loop than any of the
other S letters in this manifest, the last two letters look like g (with
loop below line) and an e with tail turning upward, I almost thought
first name could be Dodge
* #31 May be New York but could make out any York word
* #32 The first word may be Coal but was unreadable
* #34-35 Same as explained above (15-17)
* #36 The last name appears to have at least two loops of letters visible
above the line spaced out in the name like an l
* #38 The first name may be John as there appears to be a loop where the h
would be and the last letter has a hump and ends in an upward motion, the
third letter in the last name has a loop above the line and could be an h or l
* #39-42 Same as explained above (15-17), also the names are very
unreadable with no clues to what the other letters may be
* #44 Unreadable
* #46-47 Same as explained above (15-17), the fourth letter could be an l
or b as there is a visible loop above the line
* #48 This occupation may be Warehouseman, cannot read first part
* #49-51 Same as explained above (15-17), also the first letter appears to
be a B as the writer's R's are not like this letter
& #52 The first letter could be an S as it has a bottom loop similar to the
other capital S's, the third letter may be an i or e followed by an n or
r. The sixth letter has a closed loop above the line and could be a d.
This name may be Sheridan
* #53 The last name may begin with an M, N or H as the beginning upswing of
the letter is similar to how the other M's and H's start
* #54 This last name appears to begin with an R however the top part of the
letter is faded, the second letter may be an e or i but the loop appears
closed
* #56 The first word appears to be Sigar as the S is plainly visible. The
second word looks like it starts with either a W or M and ends with er.
Have seen Sigar Maker spelled this way on other manifests.
* #57 The country from may be Scotland, the name is unreadable but there
appears to be another line of writing just below this name
