Brig "Triton", do solemnly, sincerely, and truly swear that the following List or Manifest, subscribed by me, and now delivered by me to the Collector of the Customs of the Collection District of New York, is a full and perfect List of all the Passengers taken on board the said Brig at Nassau from which Port the said Brig has now arrived; and that on said List is truly designated the age, the sex, and the occupation of each of said passengers, the part of the vessel occupied by each during the passage, the country to which each belongs, and also the country of which it is intended by each to become an inhabitant; and that said List or Manifest truly sets forth the number of said Passengers who have died on said Voyage and the names and ages of those who died.
So help me God. (Signature) Dennis F. Scovill

Transcriber's Notes:
A question mark (?) indicates a letter or a number that can not be transcribed
with certainty.
The transcriber numbers the passengers consecutively, even though they are not
numbered in the original manifest.
The designation "Br Brig Triton" in the Captain's sworn statement at the
beginning of the manifest likely implies that the Brig Triton is of
British ownership or registry.
