Transcriber's Notes:

The use of * indicates an omission or error made by the original recorder.
The use of ? indicates a word or letter that could not be read because of
 the quality of the original document.

The Captain name is unusual. Seems to be a variation of Deacon. 
The port name is shortened and I suspect it's Philadelphia.
   
All ditto marks on the original manifest have been replaced with the actual 
 words indicated.
