List or Manifest of all the Passengers taken on board the State of Indiana, whereof John W. Sadler is Master, from Glasgow burthen 1612 tons.

Columns represent: given name, surname, age, sex, occupation, country to which they severally belong, country in which they intend to become inhabitants, and part of the vessel occupied by each passenger during the voyage. There being no deaths recorded on this voyage, that column has been eliminated. Since all passengers were bound for the United States, that column has been eliminated.

Transcriber's notes: 

An asterisk indicates an error on the part of the original recorder not 
     the transcriber. 
The ? marks indicate letters or words that cannot be read due to the 
     quality of the original document. 
 9 The occupation is written very faintly, but it could be semistes (seamstress?).
11 The ink is smeared on the second digit.  The age is thirty-something.
16-21 Urquhart could be Urqohart.
28-34 The script style of the recorder makes the letter C look very much 
     like a V in other names. The family's name could be Vissy, Vissig or Cissig.
41 Goarlay could be Gourlay.
50 Carson could be Casson, and his age could be 21.
54 and 56 occupations are probably peddler. 
58 Emborn could be Ernborn.
60 The page was folded at this line with some of the paper torn away, 
     and the age is missing. The occupation looks like it could be 
     grandchild.  There is a hole in the paper where the first part of 
     the country should be.  To the right of the hole, the page is very 
     dark, but the remaining script could possibly be States (United States).
61 The page is torn and the first numeral of the age is missing.
73 The last name could be Vusswill, Cusswile or Vusswile.
