DISTRICT OF NEW YORK - PORT OF NEW YORK
I, Allen Baxter do solemnly, sincerely and truly swear, that the following List or Manifest of Passengers, subscribed with my name, and now delivered by me to the Collector of the Customs for the District of New York, contains, to the best of my knowledge and belief, a just and true account of all the Passengers received on board the Bark Brothers whereof I am Master, from Glasgow, So Help me God, Allen Baxter
Sworn to this Nov 3 1851 Before me N????DC
List or Manifest of ALL THE PASSENGERS taken on board the Bark Brothers whereof Allen Baxter is Master, from Glasgow burthen Four hundred ninety three tons.
Columns represent: Name, Age, Sex, Occupation, Country to which they severally belong, Country in which they intend to become inhabitants, Died on the voyage (none were listed)
1  Bridgett Cartwright   29 Female Servant   Ireland  America
2  George   Cartwright    9 Male   Servant   Ireland  America
3* Charles  Camble       15 Male   Laborer   Ireland  America

Transcriber's Notes:
* The ?s in the Deputy Collector's name indicates letters that can not be 
  definitively read. The Deputy Collector's name is written with all the 
  letters joined together and with DC attached.  
* The writing is uniform in size, taking up 4 1/4 inches in length and 7/16th 
  of an inch in height except for the final "C" which is a full 1 inch in width
  and height and falling above and below the line of script. 
* The first letter looks like an "N" with the remainder of the letters possibly 
  being "Bomn" followed by DC If this is an accurate interpretation it would 
  make the name N. Bomn, DC
* #3 The occupation was spelled Labourer
* No passengers were listed as having died on the voyage so the column was 
  eliminated
