| Jul 19, 2015 at 22:59 | comment | added | Jan Murphy♦ | According to USCIS historian Marian L. Smith, the only records which survive for NY arrivals before 1897 are US Customs House records, created by the US Customs Service. The Castle Garden and Barge Office passenger lists (which would have had immigration information like the later lists) were transferred to Ellis Island and were destroyed in the 1897 Ellis Island fire. | |

| Nov 19, 2012 at 1:09 | comment | added | GeneJ | @JustinY. See my last two update/edits. As these are really passenger manifests, I wonder if there would be value in checking to if there are archives for the port itself that might have a separate listing of this ships arrival. Likewise, who owned the William Stetson, and did that company maintain a separate set of records. | |

| Nov 19, 2012 at 0:45 | comment | added | user47 | That paragraph in the middle makes reference to "4 passengers" but I can't tell what it's saying about them. Sadly they wrote over it with names of cabin passengers they forgot to account for. Can you make out any of the text related to the tallies at the bottom? I can't understand a word of it. | |

| Nov 18, 2012 at 17:58 | comment | added | GeneJ | @JustinY To add even more mystery to this, the actual manifest./incoming passenger list (New York) clearly states it includes the identity of those who died, with a reference to their names. | |
