Passenger Notes:

# 1 - First letter of surname is questionable. Where from is questionable from 
      Passenger 1 to passenger 31, and all passengers were bound for Baltimore.
# 7 - The first name and the word infat are crossed out. Also there are some 
      illegible words in the unidentified right hand column. Maybe this
      passenger died en route. 
#18 - Surnmae maybe Prim. 
#30 - Surname is questionable.
#31 - Surname is questionable.
#32 - There are about 16 lines between passengers 31 amd 32 that are blacked 
      out - Taylor and Swisland are definitely the spellings on the manifest -
      probably the way they spelled tailor and Switzerland.
#42 - Those are the spellings seen on the manifest...could be Daniel Conway.
