Transcriber's Notes:
* An asterisk indicates an error on the part of the original recorder, not the
transcriber, or is used to call your attention to additional information in the
Transcriber's Notes below.
? The use of a ? indicates a word or letters that could not be read due to quality
of the original document.
^ The use of a ^ indicates that the letter/letters following are superscripted.
The transcription preserves the original spelling.
All ditto marks on the original manifest have been replaced with the actual words
indicated.
The manifest scribe also used long vertical lines to probably indicate continuation
of the last written word(s). These lines have been replaced with the actual word/words
indicated.
The manifest did not include psgr #s; they have been added by the transcriber.
The manifest scribe used a Germanic letter resembling 'fs'; to aid in reading, these

Fractional burthen in testimonial illegible.
The manifest scribe recorded Sex as M or Male, F or Female; they have been recorded on
this transcription as M or F.
