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".
