Transcriber's Notes:

*  An asterisk indicates an error on the part of the original recorder, not the 
   transcriber, or is used to call your attention to additional information in the 
   Transcriber's Notes below.

?  The use of a ? indicates a word or letters that could not be read due to quality 
   of the original document.

^  The use of a ^ indicates that the letter/letters following are superscripted.

The transcription preserves the original spelling.

The manifest scribe numbered the passengers.

All ditto marks on the original manifest have been replaced with the actual words 
indicated.

The manifest scribe used a Germanic letter resembling 'fs'; to aid in reading, these 
have been transcribed to 'ss'.

This ship manifest is listed as Dr. Witt Clinton on Ancestry.com.
