SS Manhattan
I, James A. Williams, Master of the SS "Manhattan", 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 New York, is a full and perfect List of all the Passengers taken on board the said SS Manhattan at Liverpool and Queenstown, from which Port the said SS Manhattan has now arrived; and that on said List is truly designated the age, the sex, and the occupation of each of said passengers, the part of the vessel occupied by each during the passage, the country to which each belongs, and also the country of which it is intended by each to become an inhabitant; and that said List or Manifest truly sets forth the number of said Passengers who have died on said Voyage and the names and ages of those who died. So help me God. (Signature) J.A. Williams.
Sworn to this 19th Feb'y 1868,
Before me. (Signature) ?????????, D.C..
List or Manifest of ALL THE PASSENGERS taken on board the SS Manhattan whereof James A. Williams is Master, from L'pool via Q'town, burthen 1965 tons.
Columns represent: given name and surname, age, sex, occupation, the country to which they severally belong, and the part of the vessel occupied during the voyage. Since all the passengers intend to become inhabitants of the "United States", and no one died during the voyage, these two columns are omitted in this transcription.

Transcriber's Notes:
A question mark (?) indicates a letter or a number that can not be
transcribed definitely.
An asterisk (*) indicates either difficulty in deciphering the handwriting of
the manifest or something in the Transcriber Notes to which the reader should
refer.
A caret (^) indicates that the following letter in a word or name is
superscripted.
The recorder of the manifest often abbreviated given names by writing the
first few letters of the name. Sometimes he abbreviated given names by
writing the first few letters of the name, then skipping letters and then
writing the final letter as superscripted. In these cases, the transcribers
use the symbol (^) to indicate that the following letter is superscripted and
underlined, i.e., Mich^l for Michael, Pat^k for Patrick, Tho^s for Thomas,
etc.
The recorder of the manifest often abbreviated a passenger's Occupation such
as "Gent" for "Gentleman", "Lab^r" or "Lab" for "Labourer" and "Spin" for
"Spinster.
3 Although written as "O'Niel", surname is possibly actually "O'Neil".
26 Surname is either "Dallon" or "Dalton".
41 Surname is either "Bermstrof" or "Bernstrof".
51-54 Surname is either "Gillion", "Gillson", "Eillson" or "Eillion".

97 Surname appears to be either "Scheneiweiss" or "Schenciweiss".
122-123 Last letter of surname is poorly formed and difficult to decipher, but
surname is possibly "Rapp", "Rappe", "Rappa", "Rappo" and "Rappu".
129 Surname appears to be either "Kenry" or "Kenny".
