Transcriber's notes:

*  The use of an asterisk "*" indicates an error on the 
   part of the original recorder and not the transcriber 
   or is used to call your attention to additional 
   information in the Transcriber's notes below.

?  The use of a "?" indicates a word or letters that could
   not be read, due to the quality of the original document.

*  Columns 6, country of citizenship,& 11, date and cause 
   of death, have been eliminated because they are void of 
   notation with 4 exceptions, 3 for column 6 & 1 for 11,  
   which are noted in the transcriber's notes.         

Passenger # 1 - Something written in column 6, appears the 
    recorder started to write something and lined it out. 
    The following is written in column 11: (J.T.H. by White). 
    It's written in a different hand as if by someone checking 
    the manifest.

Passenger # 6 & 7 - Passenger 7 apparently announced he was 
    a citizen of Wicklow instead of Ireland. It doesn't 
    mention whether it's the county or city. This is 
    confirmed by the summary of passenger's citizenship at 
    the bottom of the manifest. The summary states there 
    are 2 passengers from Ireland, passenger 6 stated Ireland 
    and passenger 7 stated Wicklow.

Passenger # 8 - Column 12, Whether visitor only or intending 
    to be permanent settlers, is void of notation. 

Passenger #10 - Column 8, Intended Destination or Location, 
    is blank. Although, there are ditto marks in column 12, 
    Whether visitor only or intending to be permanent 
    settlers, indicating he intends to settle in the USA. 
    Perhaps an error on the part of the recorder?

Passengers #11 - 14 - There's a "}" ( Brace ) connecting 
    passengers 11-14 in between columns 7 & 8 with a notation 
    in column 8 stating: "Not returned Cattlemen"  There's 
    also ditto marks in column 8 indicating their destination 
    is Boston. In addition, for passengers 13 & 14 there are 
    two notations in column 5, Calling.  As indicated on the 
    passenger list, the recorder noted they are Cattlemen and
    Stowaways.  

Passenger #17 - It is noted in column 6, The Country of which 
    they are citizens, that she is an English citizen. There 
    is no notation in column 8, Intended Destination, her name
    being the same as the Master of the ship may indicate she 
    is related and went along for the ride. In addition, there's 
    nothing noted in column 9, Number of pieces of baggage. 
    However, there are ditto marks in column 12, indicating she 
    intends to permanently settle in the USA.  This could be an
    oversight on the part of the recorder as every passenger 
    above this point is indicated as such.

Passenger #18 - It is noted in column 6, The Country of which 
    they are citizens, that he is an American citizen. There is
    no notation in column 8, Intended Destination, perhaps an 
    oversight being the last passenger to be logged and the 
    column was void for passenger 17.
