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.

Portions of this passenger list were difficult to decipher due to what appears to be mirror 
images of handwriting from another page being transferred onto a particular page, probably due 
to pages being stacked before ink dried.

Names were transcribed as seen regardless of spelling.  Many first names are written in 
abbreviated form, such as Joh for John, Jos for Joseph, Cath^n for Catherine, Ant^e for 
Antoine, etc. 

On the manifest, families and baggage were bracketed to indicate that baggage belonged to the 
entire group, even though it is only logged beside one or two names. The transcriber has shown 
the baggage for a family with the first family member.

Passengers where numbered by the transcriber for ease of referencing.

                 written.  This is the case for the first entry on each of the four pages.
