Transcriber's Notes:
* Indicates additional information noted below
^ Indicates missing letters in abbreviated names
When this ship was sent to me by Ralph Barhorst, it was listed as Samuel M Ton. But, in
looking over the list of other ships, I am sure it is the Samuel M Fox (there are other
voyages by the Samuel M Fox). One place on the declaration does look like Fox; other places
are just hard to read and could be interpreted as Ton.
44 Listed as a cabin passenger, but not listed with other cabin passengers
76 Child died on voyage; no date listed
278 through 287 Uncertain of last name; although it does start with P
287 Child born on voyage; no date, no name, and no sex listed
National Archives and Records Administration, Film M237, Reel 151, List 232.
