 Transcriber's Notes:

  A question mark (?) indicates a letter or a number that cannot be transcribed 
  definitely.

  The transcriber numbers the passengers consecutively, even though they are not 
  numbered in the original manifest.

  The entry "United States" in the native country columns is shortened to 
  "U. States" for formatting reasons.  "Male" and "Female" in the Sex column 
  is shortened to "M" and "F" for the same reason.

  The designation "Br Sch^r Ellen Nancy" in the Captain's sworn statement at the 
  beginning of the manifest likely implies that the Schooner Ellen Nancy is of
  British ownership or registry.
