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.

*  Names were transcribed as seen regardless of spelling.

*  Occupation column was blank so it was omitted.

*  Ship's name in the Introductory paragraph is heavily crossed out but name may be
     Ship John as well as Brig John.
