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 use of a ^ indicates that the letter/letters following are superscripted.

The transcription preserves the original spelling.

The manifest scribe did not number the passengers; the numbers have been added by the 
transcriber.

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

The manifest scribe used vertical lines probably to indicate continuation/duplication of the 
last written word(s).

The 3rd number of the ship's burthen tonnage is illegible because of overwriting; could be 
1302 47/95 or 1322 47/95 tons.

12-17 Manifest scribe wrote "Family" vertically down through these occupation lines.
18-21 Center letters of surname illegible, 3rd letter could be 'f' or 'p'; manifest scribe
      wrote "Family" vertically down through these occupation lines.
23    Occupation illegible.
24    Occupation Mechic is probably Mechanic.
33    Ending of surname illegible.
