The use of ? indicates a word or letters that could not be read, due to the quality of original document. Line numbering is shown as recorded by original recorder. In families grouped on the page, only the first family member has the surname recorded. Transcriber has inserted the surname on subsequent family members. Original recorder used "Ireland" for origin only on first entry of each manifest page with a squiggily line in the column to the bottom of the page. Transcriber has inserted corrected origin for all passengers. Original recorder used "United States" for destination only on first entry of each manifest page with a squiggily line in the column to the bottom of the page. Transcriber has inserted "United States" as corrected destination for all passengers. Occupations were shown as "Labourer" at the top of the column of each page and a squiggily line drawn down through the column, except where otherwise indicated. Because of the many children and infants, transcriber has left this column as indicated on actual document. Original recorder indicated wrong sex in the following passengers: #36, #44, #58, #64, #84, #109, #169, #180, #212, #232, #233, #234, #251, #267, #271, #277, #279, #280. #1, #58, #77, #79, #87, #94, #111, #132 #237, #240, #242 Forename abbreviation for Michael. #4, #10, #57, #120, #128, #154, #220, #250, #252 Forename abbreviation for Margaret. #13, #27, #32, #104, #105, #137, #138, #225, #226, #241 Forename abbreviation for William. #14 Surname is unclear. First letter is probably J, may be an I, is definitely not S, T, F, or L. The line loops counter-clockwise at the top like an L, but the bottom hooks like a J, not the long low loop below the line, like L. Letters 2 to 4 are clearly e-l-l. Letter 5 may be n or m. The next letter(s) are smudged and illegible. #23, #65, #72, #96, #124, #142 Forename abbreviation for Edward. #24 Forename abbreviation for Bernard. #37, #48, #73, #85, #117, #147, #158, #171, #172, #230, #262 Forename abbreviation for Patrick. #40, #214, #266 Forename abbreviation for James. #49, #68, #149, #173, #192, #216, #244 Forename abbreviation for Thomas. #54, #61, #98, #100, #108, #139, #153, #163, #177, #183, #194, #207, #245 Forename abbreviation for Catharine. #66, #211 Forename abbreviation for Daniel. #67, #93, #213 Forename abbreviation for Richard. #81 Forename abbreviation for George. #89 Forename abbreviation for Matthew. #150 Forename abbreviation for Robert. #151, #233, #253, #269 Forename abbreviation for Elizabeth. #211 Forename abbreviation for Daniel. #216-218 Surname may begin with M or N, followed by indistinct vowel, possibly followed by r, and ending in -mara. #227 Forename is partially obscured by exaggerated downstroke and hook of capital C from previous line. Name could be Milton. #231 Misspelling of Abigail. #232 Middle name obscured by downstroke of g from line #230. #255 Forename abbreviation for Charles. #260-#261 Only the first 4 letters are legible. The last 2-4 letters are obscured by the flourish of the loop of the y from previous line. #263 Forename abbreviation for Jeremiah. #271 Original recorder either misspelled Frances or indicated wrong sex. #273 Forename abbreviation for Frederick. Correspondence 07/22/02 passenger #2 Higgins I would like to correspond with people researching their Higgins family history if they think they have an ancestor matching the following description. I am looking for John Higgins who was born in Ireland circa 1825. His date of birth has also been placed at 1832. He enlisted in the Union Army in August of 1862. I have documented his country of birth as Ireland and the approximate date of birth in both his Civil War Muster Records and his prison records. His muster records also gives his enlistment date. The John Higgins I am looking for migrated to Kinderhook, Illinois which is in west central Illinois close to the Mississippi River. I know he performed general labor work prior to the Civil War. He, for example, built several field stone walls using the old European method of stacking the the stones together without mortar. Some of these walls still stand today. The John Higgins on this ship is possibly my John. My hope is that someone else will be research a Higgins ancestor and will respond. Dave Higgins
