Transcriber's Notes:

  *  Although the date of arrival at the Port of New York is not recorded on the
     manifest, the manifest is preceded on the microfilm reel with a header which
     states that the vessel arrived on 3 December 1867.

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

  An asterisk (*) indicates either difficulty in deciphering the handwriting of the 
  manifest or something in the Transcriber's Notes to which the reader should refer.

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

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


  4-6  Destination for Passengers 4, 5 and 6 is recorded as "No place in Particular".
  4    Surname appears to be written as "McCarn", but might possibly be "McCann".
  5    Surname is recorded as "Callauhan", but might possibly be "Callaghan"
       or "Callahan".
