Transcriber's Notes:
29 First name appears to be Jas with the "s" lifted up from the "a" indicating
an abbreviation. Jas may be short for Jacob or James
39 First name appears most likely to be Saul, could be Paul
42 First name as Berry on passenger list, Bery on cargo list
43 First name appears to be Tery, surname appears as P?ice, could be Price
47 First name may be abbrv for Richard, last name spelled as Byrn on passenger
& cargo list; however search of Irish names reveals common spelling to be
Byrne. Also note first number in age 64 is difficult to read and the 6 may
be a 4 but this seems unlikely given how the other 4 was written.
53 - 56 Last name difficult to read, comparing passenger list to cargo list
most likely is Hustes or Hiestes
56 After Infant are the letters "da", however the sex column indicates male
with the use of ditto marks.
61 Note on Passenger list he is listed as "A. Jackson", however under Cargo
listed as "Alex Jackson".
Please note that a separate cargo manifest and list follows below.
Unusual Occupational Definitions:
WHEELWRIGHT - A maker or repairer of wagon wheels.
CLOTHIER / CLOTHESMAN / CLOTHMAN - A person who made or sold clothes.
The misspellings/inaccuracies of the passenger's information has been
transcribed as it was written, and is not an error on the part of the
transcriber.
Note. --If any articles of the Outward Cargo are brought back, they are to be
detailed, specifying by whom shipped outward, and by whom consigned inward.
The names of all Passengers, distinguishing whether Cabin or Steerage
Passengers, with the descriptions and number of Packages containing their
baggage, or the tools or implements of a mechanical trade, and the Vessel and
Cabin stores must also be inserted in the Manifest.
I, Isbon Benedict, do solemnly, sincerely and truly swear that the Report and
Manifest subscribed with my name, and now delivered by me to the Collector of
the District of Philadelphia, contains, to the best of my knowledge and belief,
a just and true Account of all the Goods, Wares, and Merchandise, including
Packages of every kind and nature whatsoever, which were on board the Ship North Star
at the time of her sailing from the Port of Liverpool or which have
been laden or taken on board at any time since; and that the Packages of the
said Goods are as particularly described as in the Bills of Lading, signed
for the same by me, or with my knowledge; That I am at present, and have been
during the voyage, Master of the said vessel: that no Packages whatsoever, or
any Goods, Ware or Merchandise, have been unladen, landed, taken out, or in any
manner whatever removed from on board the said Ship since her departure from
the said Port of Liverpool except such as are now particularly specified and
declared in the Abstract or Account herewith; and that the Clearance and other
Papers, now delivered by me to said Collector, are all that I now have, or have
had, that any way relate to the Cargo of the said Vessel: and I do for the use
of the Officers, Crew and Passengers thereof, and have none of them been
brought, and are not intended, by way of Merchandise, or for sale, or for any
other purpose than above mentioned; and are intended to remain on board for
the consumption of the said Officers and Crew: I further swear that if I shall
hereafter discover, or know of any other or greater quantity of Goods, Wares,
and Merchandise, of any nature or kind whatsoever, than are contained in the
Report and Manifest subscribed and now delivered by me, I will immediately
without delay, make due report thereof, to the Collector of the Port or
