Passingers of the Bonaventure
To Virginia, 1635
NEHGS January 1848
Passengers for Virginia
|
|
Dear Sir, --
I arrived in London after a pleasant passage of Twenty-four days, and immediately Commenced with the manuscripts
relating to pedigrees, &c., of which there are some two hundred folio volumes. After going through with these,
I shall take up the county histories, &c., &c.
All the geraldic Vasitations I shall exemine throughly. I have already been through with two counties, and made
copious extracts, I have passed several American names, as I shall have sufficient to do for those who make it
worth my while.
I send you an extract, which I have been permitted to copy from the origional record in custody of the Master of
the Rolls. This is the same record from which Mr. Savage made his valuable extracts of the New England Passengers,
There are several other ship-loads for Virginia, Bermuda, St. Domingo, &c., sone of which I shall extract and
forward for the Register, as I find leisure,
On the cover of the Record is the following: "A register of the names of all ye passws from ye porte of London
for on whole yeare ending at Xmas 1635."
On the first page --......
"Post festum Natalis......
Christi 1634 usque......
ad festum Na: Christi......
1635"......
Then follows a list of those who went to St. Domingo, after which, 'Those under
written are to be transported to Virginia imbargued in ye Merch bonaventure James Ricofte Mr. bound thither have
taken ye oath of allegence.'
You will perceive an apparent repetition of the names of Richard Champion. I can only say it is so in the origional.
Although the passengers here given, went to Virginia, there names are not the less important to the student of
the New England History, for it is well known that great numbers came to New England from thence. And we fell assured
that by this and such list, many points in family history will eventually be settled.
