List or Manifest of all the Passengers taken on board the Ship Palestine whereof E G Tucker is Master, from London burthen 6751 tons.
Columns represent: names, ages (years/months), sex, occupation, the country to which they severally belong, the country in which they intend to become inhabitants. There were no deaths during the voyage so that column is eliminated. The first 17 passengers (Joseph Union to Henry H Crocker) occupied the cabin, and all the rest were in the upper between deck area, so the column labeled part of vessel occupied is left blank.

Transcriber's Notes:

* The use of an * indicates an omission or error made by the original recorder or 
  is used to call your attention to additional information in the Transcriber's Notes.
? The use of a ? indicates a word or letters that were omitted or could not be read 
  due to quality of original document or penmanship of original recorder.
^ The use of a caret (^) indicates that the next letter is superscripted by the 
  original recorder.

Passengers were not numbered on the manifest; numbers have been added by the 
transcriber.


72 and 73 - William and E?ma ?l? - There is a large defect in the manifest over the 
     names, but it appears that the surname could be either Flu, Fles or Ples, and
     the given name of #73 is Emma.
78 - Naomi Price - In the Occupation column "Farmer" is written in and then crossed 
     out.
83 and 84 -  Rennie - In the Occupation column "professors of Music" is written in 
     on two lines, suggesting that at least these two, and possibly all four Rennie 
     women are musicians.
129 and 130 - Co??er - Unable to read the middle letters.  It appears that the 
     original recorder wrote "Coo", then crossed out the second "o" with a forward 
     slash, then wrote "pper".  He used a ditto mark for #130, but then wrote out 
     "Cooper" for #131, a  child, and ditto marks for the next 2 children.  So 
     your transcriber thinks the surname of 129 and 130 is probably Cooper, but 
     could be Copper.
