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 designation "Br Bk Golden Fleece" in the Captain's sworn statement at the 
  beginning of the manifest likely implies that the vessel Golden Fleece is a 
  Bark of British ownership or registry.
