S. Iowa at Glasgow for which port said (no entry) has now arrived; and that on said list is truly designated the age, 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. (signed) David Ovenstone

Transcriber's Notes:
* The column, "Occupation" was eliminated since the original lister did not complete
this column.
An asterisk (*) is used to denote questionable areas on the list or errors on the part
of the original transcriber and is further explained in these notes.
A question mark (?) is used for letter/letters which are missing or unreadable. Wherever
possible the transcriber has given suggestions of what the word may be.
A circumflex (^) is used to indicate missing letters in a name. The original lister
showed this by writing the final letter smaller and raising it above the line.
* The column "Died on the voyage" was used for three purposes:
1. To denote the deaths, of which there were two. (Passenger #534 and #535)
2. To record a date which the original lister recorded for some of the passengers.
Certainly, these are the dates that these immigrants came to the U.S. previously,
although the lister did not explain these entries.
3. To record a birth at sea. (Passenger #550)
Passengers 44, 87, 100, 130 and 259 have a very light "X" next to their name. It is
not known what this signifies; perhaps they were ill.
The numbering of the list was done by the orignal lister.
11 The age is unreadable due to a dark line.
13 The name is illegible because the entry is at the crease of the book and there is
some tearing. It seems clear, however, that the passenger is with the passengers
which are above on the list.
19 One can only assume that this child is a newborn.
183 Surname: Cawle or Carole
235 Should this name be Patton, as the previous names? It begins a new page & thus is
not a ditto
274-276 Surname possibilities: Wenters, Winters.
National Archives and Records Administration, Film M237, Reel 326, List #301.
