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 a letter or number which could not be determined due to the condition of the 
   manifest or handwriting of the original recorder.
 
^  A ^ followed by a letter indicates that the letter was superscripted.

*  Passenger numbers assigned by this transcriber for search engine.

*  Column heading Sex shows P. No where is this defined, but this transcriber thinks it 
   maybe to indicate passengers that intended to reside in Philadelphia.
 
*  Column heading Occupation shows N.Y. for some passengers. This not defined but this 
   transcriber thinks that it may indicate those passengers that intend to reside in New 
   York.


69-74  Surname may be many things as letters are very poorly formed.

Elizabeth Bulgin is my great, great grandmother. Jane Gould and Edward Gould 
I believe to be Elizabeth's younger siblings. Thomas, Jane, and John
Bulgin I believe carry the Durnford name as well. The family met my
grandfather William in Philadelphia where they settled for a short time.
From there they moved to Warren, NJ where my Grandfather worked
at St Luke's Episcopal church. I will gladly share any  additional
information you may be interested in, but am having difficulties
finding any images of the ship. I am looking for images, drawings,
or plans for this ship.
