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.

*  Names were transcribed as seen regardless of spelling.
*  This was a hand written manifest.
*  Passengers were numbered on the manifest as well as on the transcription for ease
   of referencing.
*  None died during the voyage, therefore this coloumn was eliminated.


144, 145 Surnames too light to be read with certainty, may be Grayson.
196, 197 and 204 to 210 Ink spills blacked out some information in this area of the
         manifest.
