Transcriber's Notes:
* The use of an * indicates an omission or error made by the 
  original recorder, or 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 listed, so the column was eliminated.
* There was no notation of part of the vessel occupied by 
  the passenger.
* The name of the customs agent is unreadable.
* Sch is believed to mean Schooner, the writer abbreviated in 
  each instance on the list.
* The name of the ship is variously spelled on the document: 
  Morales and Marale
* Captains name appears to be Sewall, but could be Suvall.
1. Jerm is probably an abbreviation for Jeremiah or Jeremy. 
   Writer gave destination as U State, most likely meaning United States.
