Transcriber's Notes:

The document was very shaded and some areas were impossible to read. Wherever
  possible the transcriber used an apparent equivalent amount of question marks
  to give a sense of the amount of letters in names.
No one died on the voyage and all passenegers are from England and intending
  to inhabit America. All passengers are listed as berthing Between Decks, so
  these four columns are not included to save space
Names are transcribed as they appeared. Names like Wm or Elizth or Saml or Margt
  have the last letter or two raised above the middle of the rest of the letters
Passenger 17 last name may be Fowler
Passenger 25 last name may be Manilow
Passenger 32 name may be Thos Smith
Passengers 55, 56 and 57 last name may be Yates
Passenger 72 last name may be Owens
Passengers 106, 107, 108 are listed as wife but seem not to be due to age
  or sex
Passenger 108 first name may be Henry
Passengers 113, 114 and 115 last name may be Adamson or Adamsen
Passengers 114 and 115 seem to have the genders crossed
Passenger 117 last name may be Pearson
Passenger 123 last name may be Owens or Owen
Passenger 127 last name may be Ingram
Passenger 138 First letter of last name may be T
