Transcriber's Notes:  

*  An asterisk indicates an error on the part of the original recorder, not
   the transcriber, or is used to call your attention to additional information
   in the transcriber's notes.

?  Indicates a letter or number which could not be determined due to the
   condition of the manifest or handwriting of the original recorder.

At first this ship name looked as if it was spelled Rappahannock, but then 
there were other voyages to compare it with.  It seems to be Tappahannock.
 
3  surname could be Baldenecker.  First name as found.
4  surname looks like Chivdo or Chirdo.  No age recorded.
5  it is possible that the surname and first name are reversed here.  No age recorded.
