Transcriber's Notes: 
    
The use of an * indicates an omission or error made by the original recorder.

The use of a ? indicates a word or letters that could not be read due to the condition 
of the original document.


 3  Occupation written over so cannot be read.
52  Destination looks like a combination of Richmond, Virginia and 
    Louisville, Kentucky. Maybe this passenger was first going to           
    Richmond and then on to Louisville. 
68  Occupation cannot be read.
69  Occupation Tilor might mean Tailor ??
70  Occupation Beeker might mean Baker ??
