I, E.W. Peabody, Master of the Ship Neptune, 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 Ship at Liverpool from which Port the said Ship 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. (signed) E.W. Peabody. Sworn to this Feb'y 10, 1868, before me. (signed) ????????, D.C..

List or Manifest of ALL THE PASSENGERS taken on board the Ship Neptune whereof (blank) is Master, from Liverpool, burthen (blank) tons.

Columns represent: given name and surname, age, sex, occupation, and country to which they severally belong. Since every passenger intended to become an inhabitant of the "United States", and was berthed in "Steerage", and no one died during the voyage, these three 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.


  27  Added to the column in which is recorded the country in which they intend to 
      become inhabitants are the words "Ship Middlesex 1855".  This likely indicates 
      the ship and year in which this passenger first entered the United States.
