Transcriber's Notes:
*written by a second hand
**S????ner - Captain's name could be Scrivner
**Pas??ort - may be Pasquort
**Hawkes - occupation looked like Singero or Suigero, with a horizontal
line at the end indicative of a shortened form.
**Campbell - first initial D. somewhat obscure
**La Laura - could be La Laina
**Ba???ise - looked like Barwise. The "w" could have been "io" as well.
***Very difficult to read, but Novit. is the likely occupation, a
shortened form of Novitiate.
The occupations and multiple family member surnames are often times
dittoed on original list as "do" also many are abbreviated such as
Labr for Laborer, Inft for Infant, Gentln for Gentleman.
Robert is abbreviated as Robt. and William as Wm.
