So help me God. (Signature) W.H. Pinkham.

superscripted.

the manifest or something in the Transcriber Notes to which the reader should
refer.
The transcriber numbered the passengers consecutively even though they are
not numbered in the original manifest.
6 Surname is either "Cheatham" or "Cheetham".
10-11 Full entry for Destination is "Wilmington, N.C."
13 There is damage to the manifest in this area making it impossible to decipher
this passenger's name.
46 Given name appears to be written as "Maris", but might possibly be "Marie".
Surname is either "Lieberaler" or "Leibenaler".
56 There is an acute accent mark above the last "e" in given name "Felicite".
57-58 Surname appears to be "Biermelin", "Biermelm" or "Biermehn".

which can be deciphered. The second word is four or five letters in length;

102 Occupation is not clearly written and cannot be deciphered, but appears to
begin with "B" and contain between four and six letters.
