General Notes:

The ship name is written H. Purington in the captain's statement. 

The captain's signature looks more like Guren, but the last 4 letters are
difficult to read.

The captain sometimes used lower-case letters at the beginning of a name.
  
Localities of origin: 
Nassau was a province located in the current area of the state of Hesse. 
Bade = Baden, now part of Baden-Wurttemberg state.
Bavière is the French spelling of Bavaria.
  
Beginning with passenger #274, the list is written by a different hand. There
appears to be an initial "L" to the left of #274.
