Transcriber's Notes:
A question mark indicates material that was indecipherable.
An asterisk indicates further information found in the passenger notes.
A caret ^ indicates letters written in superscript, usally ending of an
abbreviated name.
NOTE: This list is very badly damaged. I have recorded what I could
decipher, but there is much that is lost. And..the original writer of the
list often interchanges genders, listing male names as daughters and female
names as sons, etc.
The designation "famer" probably should have been "farmer."
