Transcriber's Notes: In transcribing I have tried to keep the original case size of each word and spelling of this document and have not changed any punctuation or any known abbreviations. Several words were abbreviated. ats = also known as These ships do not state a date of departure or arrival. The financial records are recorded from May 1720 to Nov 1725. 13 - Could be Bufeby - the writer of this document used the leading "s" (looking alot like the English "F") for one s in a name. 40 - Could be Wilkine - the last letter "e" or "s" are alike on many of the names. 49 - This name is written looking like Bume ey. The first "e" looks like some of the e's but not like the e next to it. I feel it is an s. It does not go below or above the line. Bum?ey 51 - This name again looks like Bie hon. I feel it is another s but could be Biehon. 79 - This could be Francie due to the way the ending e and s are written on this financial report.
