I, James T. Hilty, Master of the Ship J. A. Stamler, do solemnly, sincerely and truly swear that the following List or Manifest, subscribed by me, and now delivered by me to the Collector of the Customs of the Collection District of New York, is a full and perfect list of all the passengers taken on board of the said ship at Antwerp from which port said ship has now arrived; and that on said list is truly designated the age, the sex, and the occupation of each of said passengers the part of the vessel occupied by each during the passage, the country to which each belongs, and also the country of which it is intended by each to become an inhabitant, and that said List or Manifest truly sets forth the number of said passengers who have died on said voyage, and the names and ages of those who died. So help me God.

Transcriber's Notes:
* An asterisk indicates an error on the part of the original recorder, not
the transcriber, or is used to call your attention to additional information
in the transcriber's notes.
? Indicates a letter or number which could not be determined due to the
condition of the manifest or handwriting of the original recorder.
* The profession column indicated that all of the passengers were German and
farmers. The only visible exception to this were those passengers who were
listed as cooks.
* Apparently, the bookkeeper was not very concerned about the accuracy of the
Male/Female column. Many identifiers are in question because the given name
appears to indicate the opposite sex from that listed on the log. The
affected entries are marked with an asterisk and a question mark after the
M or F indicator.
Passenger Notes:
# 21 - Andre is written with an accent
# 35 - Stenges could also be Stenger
# 37 - Broedes could also be Broeder
# 61 - could not read the complete sentence explaining why this person left the
ship.
# 74-# 77 - Launspock could also be Lamspock, Lamspack, or similar
# 80 - Rennis could also be Reiners, or similar
#108 - Quinn could be something else; not sure what, however.
#161 - could perhaps also be Norsch, see number 64
#165 - Valter could be Walter, but the letter does not look like a W
#166 - Klein could be Kleus, or similar
#175 - Eickel could be Enkel, but unlikely, since Enkel means 'grandchild'
#181 - JB looks like the letters JB with a raised, underscored le after the
letters.
#197-#198 - could not read the words denoting perhaps at which location the two
left the ship (looks like Leol)
#223 - Dettelmuth could also be Dittelmuth
#229 - Dettelmuth looks like it's spelled Dettelmmuth, but double m in this
location is unlikely
#299 - Werthirren is unlikely; looks also like Werttioven or Wertiowen, also
unlikely names...
#327 - 28 could be 38
#319 - Jaber is unlikely, but that is what the name looks like..
#346 - Altmann could be Olitmann or similar
#350 - Minch could be Munk
#373 - An abbreviation, two letters with a raised, underscored symbol
#382 - age could also be 12
#384 - page very dark, cannot be absolutely sure of the given name
#398 - perhaps an abbreviation for Alphons or Alphonse
#399 - the information about the baby born on the ship is on this line, after
the entry
#400 - the baby was listed on line 399. Cannot read the remainder of the line,
the page is too black
