Transcriber's Notes:
The use of an * indicates an omission or error made by the original recorder,
 or a comment.
The use of a ? indicates a word or letters that could not be read, due to
 quality of original document.
There were no deaths on this passage other than the notation at the end of the
 list following passenger number 305.  Therefore the death column has been
 eliminated.
* Ship's Name - The cover of the manifest is clearly written "Clarke",
 and it has been filed with that name.  However, the sworn statement both
 times clearly is written "Clark", no 'e'.
* Date November 8th is written above a crossed-out 30th September.
* DC is believed to mean Deputy Collector.  Missing surname letters
 are possibly 'er' or 'm'.

Bade (misspelled for Baden) and Wurtemberg (umlaut over the u is missing) are
 regions in Germany.
There are indications, that the person who wrote the list, was French: e.g.
 the spelling of words like Prusse for Prussia, Hollande for Holland and the
 spelling of some German women's names, such as Catharine for Katharina, Christine
 for Kristina and the notes at the end of the list.

154 Surname has umlaut over the u.
163 Surname has umlaut over the o.
175 Surname has umlaut over the u.

234 Surname has umlaut over the a.

   *birthdate not clear: most likely Nov. 2


Correspondence added 10-20-2006, Passenger 285, Fehr
#285 on the Caroline and Mary Clark MAY be my husband's ancestor, 
Louis Fehr, born 1836 in Alsace, emigrated about 1852, settled in 
La Salle County, IL by 1858 (marriage record 1858, 1860 - 1910 Censuses.)
  
He married Katharina Mendel (spelling varies) , born ca 1836 in Prussia, 
who came to NY ca 1856 with a brother (name not known), according to a 
letter.  They had 10 or 11 children, of whom 8 lived.  I have not found 
their immigration, but reportedly they came to NY.
 
Regards,
Arlys (Reitz) LaFehr
