Transcriber's Notes:
 
*  There was only one passenger on this ship, and she had the same last
   name as the Master, so probably either his daughter or niece.
*  The original recorder twice used &e in sworn statement, probably meaning 
   "and environs" possibly to include Nassau.
*  Florida (where Key West is the furthest South of the Keys) didn't
   become a state until 1841, so in 1836 was NOT part of the US.
