I Henry Holdrige do solemnly, sincerely and truly swear that the following List or Manifest of Passengers, subscribed with my name, and now delivered by me to the Collector of the Customs for the District of New York, contains, to the best of my knowledge and belief, a just and true account of all the Passengers received on board the Ship Silas Richards wherefore I am Master, from Liverpool.

List or Manifest of all the Passengers taken on board the Ship Silas Richards whereof H.Holdrige is master, from Liverpool Burthen 454 13/95 Tons.
Columns represent: Names, Age, Sex, Occupation, The country to which they belong, The country in which they intend to become inhabitants, and Died on the Voyage. No passengers died on the voyage so instead the master of the ship included a description of the baggage brought on board by the passengers. All the passengers intended to become inhabitants of the United States so this column is deleted.

Transcriber's Notes: 
An asterick denotes an error on the part of the
original recorder not the transcriber.
* 10 This was written as "Calico" Printer on original manifest
* 15 This man's name is probably Humphrey Griffith, not Griffith Humphrey
Griffith as was written on the original manifest.
* 18 This last name is hard to read. The second "t" looks like other t's on
the list, it is just not crossed.
* 19 Oconnor, not spelled with an apostrophe.
