SS Dalton

I, G.F. Quintin, Master of the Br. Str. Dalton, do solemnly, sincerely, and truly swear that the following List or Manifest, subscribed by me, and now delivered by me to the Collector of the Customs of the Collection District of the City of New York, is a full and perfect list of all the passengers taken on board the said vessel at Rio de Janeiro from which Port the said vessel has now arrived; and that on said list is truly designated the age, sex, calling, country of citizenship, native country, intended destination or location, number of pieces of baggage, location of compartment or space occupied, and date and cause of death of passengers, as required by the Passenger Act of 1882; also a true statement, so far as it can be ascertained, with reference to the intention of each alien passenger as to a projected sojourn in this country. So help me God. (signed) Geo. F. Quintin. Sworn to this 28 June 1884, before me. (signed) L. Hopper, Deputy Collector.

List or Manifest of ALL THE PASSENGERS taken on board the Str. Dalton whereof (__blank__) is Master, from Rio, burthen (__blank__) tons.

Columns represent: given name and surname, age, sex, calling, the country of which they are citizens, native country, intended destination or location, number of pieces of baggage, location of compartment or space occupied and whether transient, in transit or intending a protracted sojourn. Since no one died during the voyage, that column was omitted in this transcription.

  Transcriber's Notes:
      
    The abbreviation "Br." before the Steamer Dalton likely means that the ship
    was of British ownership or registry.

    An asterisk (*) indicates either difficulty in deciphering the handwriting of the 
    manifest or something that the reader should note.

    A question mark (?) indicates a letter or a number that can not be transcribed 
    definitely.


    4  Surname is either "Halcrow" or "Kalcrow".
    9  Surname is not carefully written, but clearly beginns with "Mo" followed by a 
       poorly formed letter or letters which might be either "n" or "rr" followed by a 
       clearly written "e".  Surname is likely either "Mone" or "Morre".
   11  Surname is very faint and difficult to read, but clearly begins with "A" followed
       by several poorly formed letters which might be "rmu", "nnu" or something similar
       followed by "yel".  Possible surnames include "Armuyel" and "Annuyel" and others.
       Second digit of Age is very faint, but Age is possibly 42.  Countries of Citizenship
       and of Nativity are too faint to read.
   12  First three letters of given name are poorly written, but name is possibly "Henry".
       Surname clearly begins with "M" followed by a letter which appears to be raised 
       and underlined, likely a "c".  The remainder of the surname is too faint to even
       estimate the numbers of letters.  Countries of Citizenship and of Nativity are also 
       too faint to read.
