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 numbered the passengers. However, the numbering system was based on the
age of the passenger: an adult received a whole number, a child from age 2yrs through age
7yrs received 1/2 number, and an infant under 1 yr of age was unnumbered. The manifest
scribe was thus able to determine the exact statute count of passengers. The passengers
have been renumbered in the standard manner (1,2,3, etc.) for this transcription.
All ditto marks on the original manifest have been replaced with the actual words indicated.
The manifest scribe used a Germanic letter resembling 'fs'; to aid in reading, these have
been transcribed to 'ss'.
Ending of burthen tonnage illegible.
The numbers recorded for Age were very small and because of ink bleeding into the paper,
these ages are often not clear or illegible; further research should be done to confirm
findings.
38 2nd number of Age not clear, could be 28y.
62 2nd number of Age not clear, could be 13y or 18y.
75 2nd number of Age not clear, could be 13y or 18y.
81 2nd number of Age illegible.
99 2nd number of Age illegible.
118 2nd number of Age not clear, could be 25y or 28y.
125 First number of Age illegible.
127 First word of Occupation illegible.
128 Age illegible.
145 2nd number of Age illegible.
182 2nd number of Age not clear, could be 20y or 29y.
187 1st number of Age illegible.
185 1st number of Age not clear, could be 23y or 25y.
197 Middle name/initial illegible.
198 Occupation Shepherd.
