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.

^ Indicates letters are omitted and the following letter is superscripted.

* Arrival date per Ancestry.com was Oct. 3, 1800. Perhaps the captain signed the manifest
  the day before                                        

* Gonives is probably Gonaive, a port in Haiti.
