Bark Avernon
I, Silas N. Castner, do solemnly, sincerely and truly swear, that the Report and List submitted with my name, and now delivered by me to the Collector of the District of Edgartown contains to the best of my knowledge and belief, the names, age, sex and occupation of all the passengers, together with the name of the country to which they severally belong, and that of which they intend to become inhabitants, which were on board the Bark Avernon*, whereof I am at present Master, at the time of her sailing from the Port of Cork (Ireland), or which have at any time since been taken on board of said vessel. And I do likewise swear, that all matters whatsoever in said Report and List expressed are to the best of my knowledge and belief, just and true. So help me God, (signed) Silas N. Castner. Sworn to before me, this 5th day of Feby. 1849, (signed) H. P. Worth, Coll.
Report and List of the Passengers taken on board the Bark Avernon of Waldober?, (Me.), whereof Silas N. Castner is Master, burthen 289 tons and 79/95ths of a ton, bound from the Port of Cork (Ireland), for Boston.*
Columns represent: name, age, sex, occupation, country to which they severally belong, country of which they intend to become inhabitants. All the passengers were from Ireland and all intended to become inhabitants of the United States so those columns will be eliminated here. There was one death recorded in the remarks column. This will be found in the footnotes.

Avernon. Was seen on Baltimore lists as Avernon.
#19 by this name, in right column, was written "died Jany 10, 1849".
