Transcriber's Notes:
The entry for the column "The country in which they intend to become
inhabitants" was U.S. America for all passengers, except for passengers
#1,2,3,4, and 65: the entry was Canada. The column "Died on the voyage"
was empty and so was eliminated; however, there was one death, passenger
#61: see notes below.
#61, "Died March 14th 1844 and committed to the deep the same day." is
written beginning in the Occupation column.
#92, surname was written as Pheny; could be Finney?
#108, the "Co" in the surname are written clearly; the rest of the name is
overwritten with what could be "yl"; the ending letter appears to be an "e";
name could be Coyle or Coiglin.
