Transcriber's Notes:
* The final column was omitted because no information was
recorded there.
* Day of arrival is taken from cover sheet, as it is
omitted from the master's declaration.
* Across the top of the manifest is printed: No. 8
Printed and sold by John C. Clark, 60 Dock Street,
Philadelphia.
* An engraving of a three-masted sailing ship is
engraved on the upper left corner of the manifest.
Passenger # 5 - The age was written as 1/4.
Passenger #16 - First letter is very faint. It appears to
have the same up-stroke as some of the capital A's;
however, the last two letters appear to be v-e. Few
names spring to mind with a letter combination of
A _ ve. This reading is guesswork, at best.
Passenger #32 - The age was written as 1 1/2.
National Archives and Records Administration, Film M425, Reel 55, List 184.
