Transcriber's Notes:
The printing statement was cut off, but from another manifest taken
the same day, it reads "Russell & Martien."
The city name Philadelphia in the third paragraph was abbreviated Philada,
with a superscript a.
Numbers were added by the transcriber.
? indicates a letter or number that could not be read by the transcriber.
All four passengers were enclosed on the right side by a bracket, with
one entry under each of the two country columns.
There were no entries in the last column, Number and Names of Passengers
who have died on the Voyage, so the column was eliminated.
#2, surname could be McKee, or Kee with a middle initial of W or M;
fourth letter in occupation could be a j or g; possibly Singor (Singer?).
#3, surname could be Crafts or Crofts; occupation could be Preacher.
#4, may have been the captain's wife.
