Transcriber's Notes:   
  #2 middle name could be Parkman.
  #3 surname something like Boncille or Benoille.  
  #4 probably with passengers #5-7, so information in his last 2 columns is possibly 
     inaccurate.  Column for gender for #5-7 marked male.
 #16 surname Crypler or Cryfler perhaps.
 #17 surname Ewis or Enis.  Occupation either chair or chain manufacturer.
 #18 surname Mattah or Mattab or Matlah or Matlak.
