Transcriber's Notes:

  A question mark (?) indicates a letter or a number 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 phrase "Br Brig Louisa" in the statement at the top of the manifest likely
  means that the Brig Louisa is of British ownership or registry.


  7  Surname appears to be either "Woring" or "Moring".
  9  Surname appears written as "Hughtman", but might possibly be "Heightman".
