Transcriber's Notes:

It appears that there was one death on board - that of James Barnes.  His name is written in
the column "Died on the Voyage".  No other information is recorded.

The original lister did not number the passengers but did provide a recapitulation at the end 
of the Manifest, which confirms that it is a complete manifest.

An asterisk (*) is used to refer to an item in the transcriber's notes, which further 
explains the entry.

A question mark (?) is used for letter/letters that cannot be read because of the quality 
of the document.  Where possible a suggestion is given in the Transcriber's Notes of what 
the letter/letters may be.

A circumflex (^) is used to indicate missing letters in a name or word. The original 
lister showed this by writing the final letter smaller and raising it above the line.

The lister also used the "leading s", which appears at first glance to be an "f" before the 
letter "s" when actually it signifies a double "s".  The transcriber has changed this where 
found; example: the name of the ship Heiress. 


10  Patrick?
14  This name is lost at the fold of the document.  
19  It seems that this passenger died on the voyage, as his name is written in the "Died on the
    Voyage" column.  No other details are provided.
