Transcriber's Notes:  

(?) means my best guess what the copperplate writing means/meant.

The original recorder used ditto markes in the occupation column for passengers
2 - 43 to indicate "Farms/Farming(?)". 

The column for the "country to which they generally belong" listed "Ireland"
for all passengers, therefore that column has been eliminated. 

The "column for the country to which they intend to become inhabitants" listed
"United States" for all passengers, therefore that column has been eliminated. 

No one died on the voyage. 

Infant means age in months.

Total:  130 passengers on the list.
