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 endings written as superscript.

*  The Occupation column was omitted because it was blank.

*  The column headed, Number That Have Died On The Passage was omitted.  New
   Orleans was written on the first line and Do was written on the second line.
   Both of these entries were marked through.

*  Passengers were numbered by the formatter.

*  The introductory page for this list is written on the bottom of a portion of
   the sworn statement shown above.  It states: 3 January 183?, Barque Jane,
   Ritchie, from Barbadoes.  It is impossible to tell if this is an error or if
   the Barque Jane stopped at Barbadoes before continuing on to New Orleans.
