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 transcriber.

All ditto marks on the original manifest have been replaced with the actual words indicated.

Ship's burthen weight "31" is superscripted and underlined; probably a fraction (31/95).
