Transcriber's Notes:
* The use of an asterisk (*) indicates an error or omission made by the original
recorder.
* The use of a question mark (?) indicates a letter or word that cannot be read due
to the quality of the original document.
* None of these passengers died on the voyage, so that column has been eliminated.
Passenger Notes:
* 737 This is likely the child of James Brian, passenger #728.
* 796 & 797 The passenger name looks like Swerb or Severb.
* 805 The letter "d" appears to be written over the "th" in the last name. Hence
it might be Beckford instead of Beckforth.
* On the actual manifest renumbering started with the Cabin passengers. Passengers
#759-#818 on this list are actually shown on the manifest as #1-#59.
