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 to aid in search.
* All consignee's residences were in Philadelphia as was the port that the goods
were delivered, so these columns are not shown.
