Transcriber's Notes:
The use of an * indicates an omission or error made by the original recorder.
The use of a ? indicates a word or letters that could not be read due to quality
of original document.
The use of a ^ indicates that the letter/letters following are superscripted.
The column "Died on the voyage" was eliminated from this transcription, as there
were no deaths on this passage.
The passengers have been numbered by the transcriber, as no numbers appeared on
the manifest.
On the manifest, passengers 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 group with the first member, as shown on
the manifest.
Some destination names appear to be misspelled, i.e. Main for Maine, Pensylvania for
Pennsylvania, Pittford for Pittsford.
220 Shown as Female but probably should be Male.
