Transcriber's Notes:
Most likely the captain is George Siddons Murray as he was the captain on other
voyages of this vessel.
There was no Sworn Statement with this manifest. The above Sworn
Statement was taken from another ship of this route and time period. The
Captain's name was determined from his signature at the end of the
passenger list.
The last column "Protracted Sojourn" has been eliminated as ditto marks
were used for each passenger.
The number of baggage pieces for families is recorded after the first
member of that family group.
There were no deaths listed on these pages of the manifest.
The film of the original manifest is extremely dark making it most
difficult to read, hence, the copius use of the "?" mark.
The occupation "Lab" is most likely "Laborer"
#593-596 are bracked together as a family group
#599 Surname begins with "B" followed by 2 letters on the line, y or g
and three more letters on the line. Could be Burgess.
#601 Surname could be Mills, Milba
#605 Occupation is probably Merchant
#608 Given name may be Robt
#610 Given name may be David
#620 Given name may be Johnathan as the last n is superscripted
#622 Given name may be Lawrence as the ce at the end is superscripted
#624 Surname may be Cashen
#632 Given name may be Cornelius as the s is superscripted
#633 Given name may be Hannah as the last letter is superscripted but unreadable
#634-639 are bracked together as a family group
#649 Given name could be Missy
#650 Given name may be Cornelius
#651 Given name may be Mauster or Maurice
#671 Given name may be Johnathan as the last n is superscripted
