* 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 transcriber for ease of reference.
* Occupation is listed as Colliers.
* All passengers were from England.
* Intended residence is almost unreadable, looks like Cotsvill, maybe this was
meant to be Coatesville, Pa., a small town outside of Philadelphia.
