Transcriber's Notes:
* The use of a * 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 manifest.
* In the "Sworn to" line, the last name letters are run together,
the first letter could be a W but all other letters are
unreadable.
* The column "The Country in which they intend to become
inhabitants" is listed as U.S. or United States for all
passengers so the transcriber has omitted that column for
spacing reasons.
* Where the first name is listed as only an initial, the original
recorder has entered a . after some but not all so for
continuity and spacing reasons, the transcriber has omitted the
.'s from the first name initials of all passengers.
* The column "Died on the Voyage" has been crossed out on the
original manifest and No. of Pkgs has been written in.
* The original recorder has a line drawn in the occupation column
for children and most of the women and if an occupation was not
given for a woman, the transcriber has left the column blank.
* At the top of the manifest is written "1 death ? ?????. Also
written One Death
* The Master, John Ovenstone, has signed his name after the list
of Cabin Passengers, and again after the last passenger # 251,
Passenger # 4 - First name has a raised d, maybe short for
Richard.
Passenger # 5 - First name has a raised d, maybe short for
Richard.
Passenger # 8 - The first name could be Thomas as it looks
like the s is raised and the surname could
be tower.
Passenger # 12 - The surname Tengstrome has a double acute
accent(")mark over the o.
Passenger # 13 - The surname Rugstommer has a umlaut(^)
above the o.
Passenger # 17 - The surname Lonsenhoff could also be
Linsenhoff
Passenger # 21 - 23 - The Nielsen family had a total of 2 pkgs.
Passenger # 24 - The surname Landboe could also be Sandboe
or Sandbol
Passenger # 25 - The surname Largent could also be Sargent
Passenger # 27 - I am not sure what the first initial is, I
thought it could be a C but is not written
like the other C's on the list. It starts
out like a C but there is a tail below the
line with an enclosed circle on the right
side.
Passenger # 28 - The name could also be W L Gay. The original
recorder was not consistent in writing L and
S.
Passenger # 29 - The Gay family had 3 packages.
Passenger # 30 - The country this passenger came from looks
like it has been abbreviated for Scotland
and the spelling on pkags is as the
original recorder has it.
Passenger # 35 - 38 - The Henry family had a total of 3 packages.
Passenger # 38 - This passenger's age was listed as Infant,
which has been abbreviated as Inf to
conserve space.
Passenger # 39 - The Gunn family had 1 package.
Passenger # 42 - 44 - A. Young, H. Appleton and J. Appleton has
2 packages. There is a bracket by the 3
names so it is possible that they were
traveling together.
Passenger # 45 - 46 - The Watson family has a total of 3
packages.
Passenger # 47 - The surname Sharp could also be Thorp or
Tharp. Again due to inconsistancy of T's
and S's.
Passenger # 53 - The initial of the first name could also
be a T for T. Johns.
Passenger # 55 - 56 - A Duncan and Dolly Duncan has 1 pkages
(as spelled).
Passenger # 58 - 59 - A Cuthbertson and M Cuthbertson has 2
pkages(as spelled).
Passenger # 64 - E Berwick has Infant written in years
(age) column and 10 in the months column.
To save spacing, I have entered only the
10m.
Passenger # 70 - 73 - The Croall has a 2 packages.
Passenger # 74 - 76 - The McKallay family has 3 packages.
Passenger # 78 - The first letter of the surname is C and
possibly asg as there is a letter with a
downward tail that looks like a g. This
would make the name Casglisle. The ?
letters are smudged and look as if they
have been written over making them hard
to read
Passenger # 79 - 82 - The Boyd family has 7 packages.
Passenger # 83 - 85 - The Harrell family has 4 packages.
Passenger # 86 - The occupation for this passenger is
typed as written on the manifest and it
could be meant for seamstress.

crossed out with no other entry made.
Passenger # 89 - 94 - The Cain family has 7 packages.
Passenger # 89 - The first name looks like an abbreviation
for Thomas
Passenger # 92 - The first name looks like an abbreviation
for Margaret.
Passenger # 94 - The first name looks like an abbreviation
for Elizabeth.
Passenger # 99 - 100 - The McVea family has 2 packages.

conserve space.
Passenger #123 - 127 - The Finn family has 3 packages.
Passenger #128 - The ? letters in the surname could be
j and d or e, making the name Eajind or
Eajine.
Passenger #129 - The occupation machinist does not seem to
go with a female, but is what the original
recorder has listed.
Passenger #130 - 138 - The Roberts family has 3 packages.
Passenger #143 - The first name could also be Sara although
the S is not written like other S's and not
exactly like other T's.
Passenger #143 - 147 - There are a total of 2 packages for
passenger 143 thru 147. The surname for
passengers 143 thru 147 could also be Bassa
(leading s on the first one) or as I have
it spelled Bafsa.
Passenger #153 - In the sex column, the original recorder
has entered an m then crossed out and an f
has been written.
Passenger #155 - 161 - The Andersdotter family has 1 package.
Passenger #168 - 171 - The ? in the surname looks like a j making
the surname Hajstrom and passengers 168
through 171 the Ha?strom family has 4
packages.
Passenger #172 - 174 - The Thomphson family traveling together
has 3 packages.
Passenger #175 - Surname, Lyobawder, has two slanted lines
like a quotation mark above the O.
Passenger #176 - The name Ingeman?on could be Ingemanson,
Ingemanfon but the s does not look like

conserve space.
Passenger #189 - Alma Peterson has an M in the sex column
that has been crossed out and an F written.
Passenger #190 - The number of packages is two (2), it is
bracketed together with # 189 seems the
two may be traveling together.
Passenger #192 - 193 - G. E. Froberg and John H. Froberg have
a mark over the O that looks like a
quotation mark, there is listed 1 piece of
baggage for the two. It may be possible
that a misspelling of the surname could
have occurred and that passenger #191
Carolina Frodberg may be traveling with
them since G. E. and John are young
children.
Passenger #194 - 195 - Janson's have 2 pieces of baggage.
Passenger #195 - This passenger's age was listed as Infant,
which has been abbreviated as Inf to
conserve space.

which has been abbreviated as Inf to
conserve space.

original recorder entered an M in the
sex column and then crossed out and
entered an F.
