Bark Adelaide Pendergast

I, John B. Lawson, Master of the Br Bar Adelaide Pendergast, do solemnly, sincerely, and truly swear that the following List or Manifest, subscribed by me, and now delivered by me to the Collector of the Customs of the Collection District of New York, is a full and perfect List of all the Passengers taken on board the said Bark at Rio de Janeiro from which Port the said Vessel has now arrived; and that on said List is truly designated the age, the sex, and the occupation of each of said passengers, the part of the vessel occupied by each during the passage, the country to which each belongs, and also the country of which it is intended by each to become an inhabitant; and that said List or Manifest truly sets forth the number of said Passengers who have died on said Voyage and the names and ages of those who died.
So help me God. (Signature) John B. Lawson

Sworn to, this 24 January 1868,
Before me. (Signature) ? ???????, D.C..

List or Manifest of ALL THE PASSENGERS taken on board the Br Bark Adelaise Pendergast whereof Lawson is Master, from Rio de Janeiro burthen 275 tons.

  Transcriber's Notes:

  The designation "Br Bar Adelaide Pendergast" in the Captain's sworn statement at the 
  beginning of the manifest likely implies that the vessel Adelaide Pendergast is a
  Bark of British ownership or registry.

  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.

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


  1  Surname appears to be written as "Vaughn", but might possibly be "Vaughan".
