Steerage Transcriber's Notes: An asterisk (*) is used to refer to an item in the transcriber's notes, which further explains the entry. A question mark (?) is used for letter/letters that cannot be read because of the quality of the document. Where possible a suggestion is given in the Transcriber's Notes of what the letter/letters may be. A circumflex (^) is used to indicate missing letters in a name or word. The original lister showed this by writing the final letter smaller and raising it above the line. The column, "Date and Cause of Death" was eliminated from this transcription; however, there was one death, that of Passenger #75, who, it was noted, died March 9th, 1862. No cause of death was given. The original lister did not number the passengers and did not provide a recapitulation at the end of the Manifest, but he wrote small figures on each page with the total, which reconciles with the number of passengers. 14 This name is lost at the fold of the document. 54 Surname: Yellat, Fellat, Vellat. Given name may be Henry? 69 Surname: Bremill, Bremell. 75 This passenger died on the voyage, March 9, 1862. 96 Age could be 21 or 27. 111 Venner, Kenner. 151 Meckle, Meekle.
