Kuhn Transcriber's Notes: * An asterisk is used to call attention to additional information in the Transcriber's Notes. * Names were transcribed as written without regard to spelling. * No births or deaths were recorded during the voyage. * In the above sworn statement the words New York were crossed out and Baltimore written above. It is strange that a ship capable of carrying over 700 passengers would contain only 31 passengers. It is possible that the ship went to New York where most of the passengers landed and then proceeded to Baltimore with just a few passengers.
