Transcriber's notes:

*  In the occupation column the Captain has written a ditto mark for 
   Merchant and under Professor of letters he has used ditto marks
   for all of the List family including the children.
*  In the 5th column for country of intent. I see Wintenberg.  On
   looking at an atlas it could be Winterberg, but have to remember
   that this ship departed in 1825 and places could change and 
   writing could be different.

#11 There is a blot of ink over the letters between m and n.  The
    letter do not extend above of below the lines.  Here again the
    Captain has written the gentleman's name and put "of Phili?."
    so am not exactly sure what he intended this to be.  It looks
    like he was abbreviating Philadelphia.
#12 Here again the Captain used a ditto in reference to Phili?
