Transcriber's Notes:

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

  The designation "Am Sch Abigail C Woodbury" in the Captain's sworn statement at 
  the beginning of the manifest likely implies that the Schooner Abigail C Woodbury
  is of American ownership or registry.

  A caret (^) indicates that the following letter in a word or name is superscripted.

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