Transcriber's Notes:

The use of an * indicates an omission or error made by the original recorder, except in cases 
where the same errors are made many times. (See Notes 1-5 below).

The use of a ? indicates a word or letters that could not be read due to quality of original 
document or handwriting.
  
The use of a ^ indicates that the letter/letters following are superscripted.

There were no deaths on this passage; therefore, the Died on the Voyage column has been 
eliminated.

The Master's first name is spelled in one place with one l, but his signature shows two l's.

The Master's notes at the end of the manifest are: Poop 53, Between deck 185, Cabin 4 for 242 
total. This transcriber's list totals 244, because she has included the passengers 173 and 205. 

Due to the large number of passengers who, based on their names, appear to have been 
  mis-categorized as to sex and occupation, they have not been asterisked.
The words spine and spiner appear many times as occupations; these are likely abbreviated
  forms of spinster.
The word non is written as the occupation in many cases; this is most likely an abbreviated
  form of the word none.
Some infants are shown as having occupations; it is assumed that this information has been
  written on the wrong line.
The occupation of miner is written as minr several times.


 10     William Livingston     Occupation appears to read cymoer or cynoer.
 54-57  McDonald               Occupation is not legible; looks like nian or cian.
 66     James Miller           Occupation looks like tenlnts or tenents.
 77     Mr. Catherine McGannis Should probably be Mrs.; however, sex is shown as male.
 95     Thomas White           Occupation looks like blacks or blacke; probably an abbreviation
                               for blacksmith.
 97     Richard Street         Occupation looks like dye, possibly enclosed with parentheses.
173                            A double line is drawn in the Name space and no name was entered;
                               was not included in master's passenger count.
177     Mrs. Janet Pratt       Age shown as 2, but Mrs. is written with name; should probably be
                               20-something.
185     John Bra?y             The missing letter could be an n or an s. 
189     George Fyfe            Occupation appears to be tonstell or tonstett.
196     Janet Dunlop           Occupation looks like cope maker. 
205     John ????              The entire name is marked through; the surname is not legible.
                               It appears to begin with an F or a T; not included in master's
                               passenger count.
211     Thomas Aurthor         Unable to clarify occupation.
220-223 Harriot                James and wife Ellison, probably changed to Alice, arrived in NY
                               and lived in Niagara Co. where they had another son, Walter and
                               two daughters, Helen and Alice. Later they settled in Venango
                               Co., PA, following the oil fields to Ohio and Indiana.  The
                               spelling of the last name was changed to Harriett.
237     James Scott            Occupation appears to read cymoer or cynoer
239     Collin Capt C Cook     On Ancestry.com, this passenger is listed as Capt Calton C. Cook.
243     ?ub Galbraith          Appears to be Nub or Mub
