Transcriber's Notes:
#4 surname could be Droinal or Dromel or variation of those.
#5 this is possibly a member of the Winchester Rifle Manufacturing family, though
I have not yet identified him. There is a Joseph Winchester on another ship, the
Hibernia from Liverpool, arriving in Boston also on 2 August 1847. Oliver Winchester
began manufacturing rifles in the 1850's. His only son was named William Wirt
Winchester. The William and Joseph on these ships may have been brothers or cousins
of Oliver, though Oliver's earlier history is not known by this transcriber.
