7 The occupation is clearly roopmaker, not ropemaker; this may be a misspelling
by the manifest writer or another occupation.
11- 12 Surname is Teiller or Tuller.
25 This child is listed by himself, though passenger #8 is also a Ekhard.
40 'St N J' is written in the death column, but immediately after Williamsburg,
so it could refer to it.
50 Surname has umlaut. Occupation of 'st mason' is written clearly; possibly
stone mason.
58 Surname has umlaut.
60 Surname has umlaut.
87 Occupation of compositor is one who works in the printing industry, setting
type, etc.
97- 98 The location they are from seems to be the same as #100 and #103-111, but the
first letter differs some (no ending down stroke).
100 The location they are from seems to be the same as #97-98 and #103-111, but
the first letter differs some (no ending down stroke).
103-111 The location they are from seems to be the same as #97-98 and #100, but the
first letter differs some (it has an ending down stroke).

closest to a P, R or variety of S; location could be Paderborn, Raderborn, or
Saderborn.
126 The first letter of the location he is from is not like other letters,
closest to a P, R or variety of S; location could be Paderborn, Raderborn, or
Saderborn.
131-132 Surname is clearly Mikm for #131 and Mihm for #132.
136 Surname clearly has two 'l's, but other Schuler family he is with have one.
168 The word infant is written in the death column; unclear if this is a death or
a comment.
