Transcriber's Notes:

 * The use of an * indicates further explanation is needed
 * The use of a ? indicates a word or letters that could not be read due to 
   the quality of the original document.
1  J?s Taylor could be an n; after Scotland the words Great Briton are 
   crossed out; the question mark (?) at Cabin 2 is on the manifest; 
   Canada (out) is written on the manifest.
10 Tho??? Fer???on is on a fold in original manifest and appears to be 
   Thomas Ferguson;
11 & 12 The next two names are Elizabeth and Thos. John and the surnames 
   would be Ferguson because ditto marks are used for the surname of 
   Thomas Ferguson.
18 West?ater could be an m, n or u.
23 Glo?? Kl?rsise could be Glorry or Gloury; written at another time 
   above this name is comf 7-18-08 CD of Justices Rices/York or Rittes/York; 
   written at another time above age 22, 17 is written; Canada (Out) is 
   written on manifest.
