DISTRICT OF NEW YORK - PORT OF NEW YORK
I, R H Crocker, do solemnly, sincerely, and truly affirm that the
following List or Manifest of Passengers, subscribed with my name, and now delivered
by me to the Collector of the Customs for the District of New York, contains, to the
best of my knowledge and belief a just and true account of all the Passengers

So help me God.

List or Manifest of all the Passengers taken on board the Catherine
whereof Crocker, is master, from Belfast, burthen 587 tons.
Columns represent: Name, age, sex, occupation, the
country to which they severely belong, the country in which they intend to become

to become U.S. citizens and no one died on the voyage, those columns were eliminated.

Transcriber's Notes:
* The use of an asterisk indicates an omission, error or an explanation of
notations made by the original recorder.
? The use of a ? indicates a word or letters that could not be read, due to the
quality of original document.
^ The use of an ^ indicates the latter part of the name was superscribed.
11 Surname could be Horty.
24 Final 2 or 3 letters could not be deciphered.
45 There is an inkblot over the second letter of this surname, it could be
an e, a, or an o.
56 Surname could be Lynas.
68 Surname could be Williams.
111 There is an inkspot over the first letter of the surname and the last

117 Surname could be Chonery.
153-155 Surname could be Suffein.
158-162 Most of these names and occupations are unreadable. This was caused
either by ink blots or holes in the manifest which show as black spots
on the microfilm.

172 There was evidently a vertical tear through this part of the manifest
and some letters cannot be read.
174-176 These names are also obliterated by the vertical tear.
177 Given name has been written over at least twice and the first letter
looks like an E, but that is all that can be deciphered.
