Transcriber's Notes:   
There should be some caution in assuming that the origins are correct for
all of these immigrants.  In several areas, it seems as if the origin
changes about halfway through what may be a group emigrating together.  

 #20-27 town spelled as found, and with w for last few.
 #31-39 town spelled as found, but probably Newtown Limavady.
  
* This was probably near the date of departure from Ireland.  It probably 
  arrived during the summer months.  

This information was originally published in "Passenger Lists to America" 
in the New England Historical and Genealogical Register, along with 
a number of other lists, between 1906 and 1912, by Gerald Fothergill.  
These lists were found by Fothergill, while searching through the 
British Archives, in British Museum Manuscript Add. 35932. 

It was subsequently published in "Ship Passenger Lists" by Carl Boyer 3rd, 
in 1977, Newhall, California.  Library of Congress Catalogue number: 
76-37355.
