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 transcriber for ease of reference. * Not shown is column for country of origin as manifest showed that they were from England and Ireland with no way of telling which. * All passengers intended to be residents of the U. States so this column was not shown. * This transcriber believes that this is probably one of the U.S. ships and citizens that traveled to Liberia to help establish that country so that freed black American slaves might return to find a safe refuge. Therefore, the passengers on board the Hilarity, all being U.S. citizens, were most likely returning to the U.S. after working to help establish this country.
