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
