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.
* In looking up who was the owners of this ship with the help of Mary Ross
she found the following for me. The Cope family was from Philadelphia.
* The H is for Henry and the A is for Alfred. in the owners H & A Cope in
the manifest.
* I take this first note to mean the Captain had signed the Manifest and
is not the Collector signature.
* From the third passenger on down the Captain has not used ditto's or
anything like that, he just did swirls all the way down both sides of the
column and in between them wrote G Britain and Ireland in one and U
States in the other meaning came from Great Britain and Ireland going to
United States.
* In the occupation column he wrote Laborers and Maidens.
* To the right side of the manifest where would normally be place of
passage on the ship the captain left these figures of the total no of
passengers, sex, and age. Like the Following:
m f
7 under 5 years 4 3
15 5 to 10 years 1 6
2 15 to 15 years 1 1
6 15 to 20 years 5 1
19 20 to 25 years 12 7
3 25 to 30 years 2 1
3 30 to 35 years 1 2
2 35 to 40 years 0 2
8 40 and upwards 6 2
This is all in a different hand writing very legible
