?  The use of a ? indicates a letter that could not be read,
   due to the quality of the original document.

*  Collector of Customs: (in the sworn statement) Name is
   essentially undecipherable. It may begin with an "M" and
   may end with the subscripted abbreviation: DC which 
   probably stands for Deputy Collector.
