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.
*  Passenger numbers assigned by transcriber for search purpose.
*  Ancestry.com lists this manifest as being for the ship Cambridge yet the manifest
   clearly says Ship Persian. On the other hand Ancestry.com shows a manifest for a
   ship Persian that has no passenger list. 
*  Ancestry.com lists the ship on one site as arriving in Phladelphia in March 1845
   and on another site as October 9, 1845.
