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.

*  Although the captain abbreviated this ship's name, it is very likely that
   it is actually the John W. Cater.
*  Names were transcribed as seen regardless of spelling.
*  Passenger numbers assigned by transcriber for search purpose.
*  All passengers to reside in the U. States so this column is not shown.


9  Occupation looks like: "Sonent to M^s Dening". May be meant to read "Servant to
   M^rs Dening".
