I, Jabez Howes, Jr., do solemnly, sincerely, and truly swear that the following List or Manifest of Passengers, subscribed with my name, and now delivered by me to the Collector of the Customs for the District of New York, contains, to the best of my knowledge and belief, a just and true account of all the Passengers received on board the Ship Andrew Foster whereof I am Master, from Liverpool, England.
So help me God
(signed) Jabez Howes, Jr.
Sworn to this January 15th 1851
Before me (signed) H. Calhoun, D.C.
List or Manifest of all the Passengers taken on board the Ship Andrew Foster whereof Jabez Howes, Jr., is master, from Liverpool, burthen twelve hundred tons.
Columns represent: Name, age (yrs & mos), sex, occupation, the country to which they severally belong, the country in which they intend to inhabit and died on the voyage. The died on the voyage column was also used to list pieces of luggage and physical infirmities of certain passengers. As all passengers intended to become inhabitants of the U.S., that column was eliminated.

Transcriber's Notes:
The use of an * indicates an omission, error or an explanation of
notations made by the original recorder.
The use of a ? indicates a word or letters that could not be read, due to the
quality of original document.
The use of an ^ indicates the latter part of the name was superscribed.
*Following Mr James Bell, the first passenger listed, all remaining passengers
were numbered (1-527) and listed as 2nd Cabin & Steerage. However for purposes here,
Mr Bell is listed as passenger #1 and the others follow in order.
*Sometimes pieces of luggage were grouped together either for a family or a group
of people probably traveling together. These numbers are listed with the last
name in the family or group but encompass the entire family or group.
*A running number of the pieces of luggage was written at the bottom of each
page of the manifest and then totalled at the end. Those numbers are listed in
parentheses to the right of the name of last person for that page.
*In several instances there was a star drawn and a comment as to the physical
condition of the passenger was written in the same column that listed the pieces
of luggage. These comments have been put in parentheses by the transcriber.
*Sometimes the ship's transcriber wrote Inft for infant and no age in months,
and sometimes he wrote Inft and the age in months. In the latter case this
was changed by this transcriber to 0y6m to comply with ISTG formatting guidelines.
16-19 Two pieces of luggage were linked to this group of 3 men and 1 woman.
25 Age of passenger indicates the occupation listing is probably an error.
40-43 Three pieces of luggage were linked to this group of 3 men and 1 woman.
71-74 Three pieces of luggage were linked to this group of 4 women.
87 Letter could not be deciphered due to smudge on paper.
99-100 Although these 2 passengers are "dittoed" as labourers, due to their
ages, it is doubtful that this is factual.
130 Passenger died on voyage, Jany 12 1851. There was an 'x' marked in the
column following the age, and a star drawn after the word America in
that column.
138 No country listed for this passenger, although she is listed as a Sexton
and is traveling with a family group by that name.
143 This passenger is listed at the top of a new page, but is obviously a member
of the Sexton family listed at the bottom of the page before and at 9 years
is probably not a labourer as the rest of the family is a farm family.
158-168 Six pieces of luggage were linked to this group of 5 men and 6 women.
184 Surname could be Keymegan.
189-193 Four pieces of luggage were linked to this group of 4 women.
238-242 Four pieces of luggage were linked to this group of 5 women.
253-255 Two pieces of luggage were linked to this group of 2 women and 1 man.
260-264 Five pieces of luggage were linked to this group of 3 men and
2 women.
288-291 Four pieces of luggage were linked to this group of 2 men and 2 women.
