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 transcription preserves the original spelling.

The manifest scribe did not number the passengers; the numbers have been added by the 
transcriber to aid with referencing.

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'.

A review of other voyages for the Rappahannock with this captain confirms 
the spelling of the ship's name.

 1 The Space Occupied was written only with this passenger.
 8 5th letter of surname faded, illegible.
11 Surname could be Sampson or Simpson.
15 First name as recorded.

19 3rd letter of first name illegible because of ink blot,

21 Surname could be Gorel or Ford.
22 First name as recorded.
