Transcriber's Notes:
A question mark (?) indicates a letter that can not be transcribed definitely.
An asterisk (*) indicates either difficulty in deciphering the handwriting of
the manifest or something in the Transcriber Notes to which the reader should
refer.
A caret (^) indicates that the following letter in a word or name is
superscripted.
The transcriber numbered the passengers consecutively 1-314, even though they
are not numbered in the original manifest.
The recorder of the manifest often abbreviates given names by writing the
first few letters of the name. Sometimes he abbreviates given names by
writing the first few letters of the name, then skipping letters and then
writing the final letter as superscripted. In these cases, the transcriber
uses the symbol (^) to indicate that the following letter is superscripted,
i.e., Alex^r for Alexander, Cath^e for Catherine, Eliz^h for Elizabeth,
Marg^t for Margaret, etc.
For passengers with Irish surnames beginning with "Mac", the recorder
substituted "Mc".
The recorder of the manifest often abbreviates a passenger's Calling, such as
"Lab" for "Labourer", "Carp^r" for "Carpenter", "Mer^t" for "Merchant" or
"Ser^t" for "Servant".
2-3 Although it appears to be written as "Narper", surname might possibly be
"Harper".

"Mechan".
143 Although written as "McCawal", surname might possibly be "McCawell" or

Correspondence 01/30/2004 passengers #136-139, 141, 159 McMeekin
My gggrandfather James McMeekin was from the townland of Ballywhiskin, Donaghadee
Parish, County Down, Ireland. He and his wife Esther, sons John and Robert,
daughter Agnes and her son, James came to Coal Valley, Illinois, the place to
which a large number of the people from the Millisle Presbyterian Church emigrated.
In 1871 they moved to Ewart, Poweshiek County, Iowa. Descendants still live
in the area. Mary Louise Beem
