Transcriber's Notes:
The use of an * indicates an omission or error made by the original recorder.
The use of a ? indicates a word or letters that could not be read, due to
quality of original document.
As no one died on this voyage, the death column has been eliminated.
5 "Thos." is an abbreviation for "Thomas".
22 "Dr." is an abbreviation for "Doctor".
36 "Col." is an abbreviation for "Colonel".
60 "Rev. Dr." is an abbreviation for "Reverend Doctor".
62 "Capt." is an abbreviation for "Captain". As it is used here,
it is an honorary title, not a designation of military rank.
66 See # 62.
67 "Hon." is an abbreviation for "Honorable" and "Jas." is an
abbreviation for "James".
68 See # 62.
78 The original recorder wrote this child's name as "Jaames".
It is most likely "James".
81 "Rev." is an abbreviation for "Reverend".
83 "Chas." is an abbreviation for "Charles".
89 "Jas." is an abbreviation for "James".
90 See # 5.
92 See # 67.
99 See # 62.
100 See # 89.
105 This passenger's surname, "Meuser", is written with an accent
grave over the "u".
146 & 147 These two mechanics are listed by the original recorder
as "Marion" Roman numeral I and "Marion" Roman numeral II,
to distinguish two men with the same name.
174 "Wm." is an abbreviation for "William".
197 See # 5.
202 & 203 These two men, J. Shank and Bell, were mistakenly listed
as female on the original manifest.
224-246 These passengers were mistakenly listed as female on the
original manifest.
225 See # 174.
236 "Tho." is an abbreviation for "Thomas".
242 See # 236.
247 This passenger is listed on the manifest as "Wife". She is
most likely married to the man who precedes her on the
manifest, Mr. Kieth.
255 "Richd" is an abbreviation for "Richard".
256 See # 83.
258 See # 5.
275 "Jos." is an abbreviation for "Joseph".
282 See # 5.
285 The original recorder had trouble with his pen on the first
letter of this man's surname. There is a blot where the
bottom loop of the letter "B" should be. Since the remaining
letters are "liss" it seems probable that the name is "Bliss".
299 "Lieut." is an abbreviation for "Lieutenant", a military rank.
307 See #174.
