Passenger Details from GMN 19:3. Number in parentheses is household size.
Augustine Clem[en]t sometime of Reading painter (3): Augustine Clement was born by about 1603 and married Elizabeth, whose surname was not given in the parish regis-ter, at Wokingham, Berkshire, on 3 July 1628. Their daughter Elizabeth was baptized at St. Lawrence, Reading, Berkshire, on 2 March 1633/4. Augustine's wife was pregnant at the time they sailed, as their son Samuel was born at Dor-chester on 29 September 1635 [GM 2:2:101-6].
Thomas Whealer his servant (1): There were several early New England settlers of this name, but none has been connected with this passenger.
Thomas Browne of Malford weav[e]r (3): Thomas Browne was born about 1606 and married at Christian Malford, Wiltshire, on 20 August 1632, Mary Healy. The first child of this couple was baptized at Christian Malford on 1 January 1632/3, and the family settled at Newbury upon arrival in New England [GM 2:1:435-38].
Hercules Woodman of the same mercer (1): Hercules (or Archelaus) Woodman was baptized at Corsham, Wiltshire, on 23 January 1613/4 [NEHGR 97:284]. He settled at Newbury, where he had joined the church in time to be admitted a freeman on 17 May 1637 [MBCR 1:373] and married for the first time by about 1638 [NEHGR 97:286-87].
The next seven names are bracketed and described as “of Marlbrough laborers or husbandmen”:
John & Stephen Ev[er]ed al[ias] Webb (2): John Evered alias Webb was born about 1613 and was apparently single at the time he came to New England, as his first known marriage took place at Boston in the summer of 1639 [GM 2:2:459-68]. No records have been found in New England for Stephen Evered alias Webb, who was almost certainly closely related to John, perhaps a brother [GM 2:2:469].
Gyles Butler (1): There is no evidence that this man arrived in New England, nor has any attempt been made to find records for him in Marlborough, Wiltshire.
George Coussens (1): There is no evidence that this man arrived in New England, nor has any attempt been made to find records for him in Marlborough, Wiltshire.
Thomas Colman (5): Thomas Coleman was born about 1602 and married at Wootton Rivers, Wiltshire, on 24 November 1623, as his first of three wives, Susan Raulines, who died at Newbury on 17 November 1650. This couple had daughter Dorothy baptized at St Mary, Marlborough, on 19 December 1624 and buried at St. Peter & St. Paul, Marlborough, on 17 May 1625. Their second child, Dorcas, was baptized at the latter church on 23 July 1626 and came with her parents to New England, along with two other children who were probably born in England, but whose baptisms have not been found [GM 2:2:157-62].
Thomas Goddard (1): There is no evidence that this man arrived in New England, nor has any attempt been made to find records for him in Marlborough, Wiltshire.
John Pithouse (1): John Pithouse (or Pittice) settled at Ips-wich, but records for him are scarce. He did marry, apparently in New England, and had five daughters, not all of whom have been identified [GM 2:5:471-72].
The next two names are bracketed and described as “of Marlborough shoomakers”:
Anthoney Morse (5): Anthony was born about 1607 and married Ann Cox at St. Mary, Marlborough, Wiltshire, on 2 May 1629. This couple had three children baptized at Marlborough, in 1629, 1632 and 1634. Upon arrival, this family of five settled at Newbury [GM 2:5:159-67].
Will[ia]m Morse (1): William Morse, brother of Anthony, was baptized at St. Peter and St. Paul, Marlborough, Wiltshire, on 17 May 1614. He settled at Newbury and married there about 1640 [GM 2:5:178-80].
The next five names are bracketed and described as “late of Marlbrough”:
John Hide tailor (1): There is no evidence that this man arrived in New England, nor has any attempt been made to find records for him in Marlborough, Wiltshire.
John Parker carpenter (6): John Parker was baptized at St. Mary, Marlborough, on 21 February 1603/4 and married there for the first time on 12 August 1627. This couple had a daughter baptized on 13 July 1628, and the mother must have died soon after, although no record has been found of her burial. John Parker married secondly, again at St. Mary, Marlborough, on 29 September 1628, Jane Kember, with whom he had four additional children before departing for New England. Of these five children born in England to his two wives, four survived to make the voyage to New England. The family settled at Boston [GM 2:5:364-67].
Richard Walker shoemaker (1): There is no evidence that this man arrived in New England, nor has any attempt been made to find records for him in Marlborough, Wiltshire. (Two men by this name appeared briefly, one in Boston and one in Salem, in 1636 and a few years thereafter, but nothing connects either one with this passenger.)
Maudit Ingles fuller (1): “Mawdith the son of Robert Ingles” was baptized on 16 November 1608 at St. Mary, Marlborough, Wiltshire. He settled in Boston upon his arrival and married about 1638 [GM 2:4:2-4].
Thomas Davyes sawyer (4): Thomas Davis was born about 1603 and married at Chipping Sodbury, Gloucestershire, on 14 November 1622 Christian Bellsire. They had three known children before 1635, of whom two certainly came to New England with their parents. The family settled at Newbury [GM 2:2:310-16].
Thomas Carpenter of Amsbury carpenter (1): Eugene Cole Zubrinsky has recently argued convincingly that a scribal error was made in this entry and that this actually represents William Carpenter who eventually settled at Providence [NEHGR 159:64-68, 164:36-40 (correcting GM 2:2:10)]. William Carpenter was born perhaps about 1610, probably in Amesbury, Wiltshire. He had settled in Providence by about 1637, and probably about the same time married Elizabeth, daughter of WILLIAM ARNOLD {1635, Hingham} [GM 2:1:84-91; NEHGR 164:38-40]. (In an article to be published later this year, Zubrinsky proposes that Carpenter resided at Salem for about two years, from his arrival in New England to his removal to Providence [NEHGR forthcoming].)
The next two names are bracketed and described as “late of London”:
Will[ia]m Paddey skinner (1): William Paddy was born about 1600 (according to his tombstone, which stated that he was “aged 58 years” at his death on 24 August 1658 [BVR 66; HAHAC 1:174]). He was residing at Plymouth by 14 March 1635/6 and he married there (or at Sandwich) on 24 November 1639 Alice Freeman [PCR 1:40, 134; GM 2:5:327-36].
Edmund Hawes cutler (1): Edmund Hawes was baptized at Solihull, Warwickshire, on 15 October 1612. He was apprenticed to the Company of Cutlers in London in 1626 and was made free of that company on 9 December 1634 [GM 2:3:247-50]. He settled at Duxbury where he soon married a woman whose name is unknown.
The next nine names are bracketed and described as “late of New Saru[m] [Salisbury, Wiltshire]”
Edmund Batter malter (3): Edmund Batter was born about 1609 and married about 1630 Sarah Verin, daughter of Philip Verin (who would also sail on the James). This couple had a son named Edmund, born soon after their marriage, who came to New England with his parents, the family settling at Salem [GM 2:1:204-13].
John Smale his servant (1): On 16 March 1684/5, John Small deposed that he was “aged about sixty-eight years” [EQC 9:439], implying that he was born about 1616, and so was about nineteen years old at the time of his migration. The first record for John Small in New England was on 12 July 1642, when he was sued in Salem court [EQC 1:42], but he had presumably lived in that town since 1635, residing in the household of his master, Edmund Batter. John Small married by about 1639 Ann, whose surname has not been discovered [GM 2:6:345-47].
Michael Shafflin tailor (3): Michael Shaflin was born about 1605 and married at St. Edmund, Salisbury, on 22 April 1628 Elizabeth [Bancks?] [GM 2:6:250-55]. Their daughter Katharine was baptized at St. Thomas, Salisbury, on 15 March 1628/9. Their only other known child was perhaps born about 1635, so may have been born in old or New England. The family resided briefly at Charlestown, but had moved to Salem by 1636.
Josuah Verren roper (1): Joshua Veren, son of Philip Veren, who also sailed on the James, was born about 1612, settled in Salem upon his arrival in New England, and married about 1637 [NEHGR 131:103-4].
Thomas Antram weaver (2): This passenger was probably the Thomas Antrum baptized at St. Edmund, Salisbury, Wiltshire, on 31 December 1601, and he was certainly the man of that name who married in the same parish on 24 May 1630 Jane Batter, sister of Edmund Batter, who also sailed on the James. The couple's first known child, for whom there is no further record, was baptized at St. Edmund on 6 April 1634. Another four children were baptized at Salem between 1638 and 1646 [GM 2:1:69-71].
Thomas Browne his servant (1): There is no evidence that this man arrived in New England, nor has any attempt been made to find records for him in Salisbury, Wiltshire [GM 2:1:438-39].
George Smythe tailor (3): Based on his estimated date of marriage, George Smith was born about 1602. He had one known child, a son John born about 1627. Upon arrival in New England, the family settled at Salem [Sarah Johnson Anc 47; GM 2:6:359-60].
Phillip Verren roper (5): Philip Veren was born about 1581 and married by 1606 Dorcas, whose surname has not been discovered [NEHGR 131:100-12]. This couple had at least nine children born in old England, eight of whom were baptized at St. Edmund, Salisbury, or at St. Thomas, Salisbury. The two eldest children married in old England prior to 1635 and may never have come to New England. The third child, daughter Sarah, married Edmund Batter, who was also on the James. Son Joshua, born perhaps in 1612, sailed on the James and had his own entry, as seen above. One child was buried in England soon after birth and another has not been found in any record after baptism. The three remaining children (Philip, Hilliard and Nathaniel) survived to come to New England and presumably accompanied their parents, who settled at Salem.
John Greene surgeon (8): John Greene was born about 1594 and married on 4 November 1619 at St. Thomas, Salisbury, Joane Tatarsole. This couple had seven children baptized in the same parish from 1620 to 1633, six of whom survived to come to New England [GM 2:3:141-48]. The family resided briefly at Boston, but were in Providence by 1636, with a possible brief stay in Salem in between. (In an article to be published later this year, Zubrinsky shows that Greene resided at Salem before his arrival in Providence [NEHGR forthcoming].)
Zacheus Courtis of Downton laborer (1): On 20 March 1671/2, Zaccheus Curtis deposed that he was “aged about fifty-three years” [EQC 5:28], meaning that he was born about 1619, and so was about sixteen when he sailed for New England in 1635. He settled at Salem, where he first appeared in the records in late 1643 [EQC 1:56] and where his first child was born about 1646 [GM 2:2:261-64].
Henry Rose of Platford laborer (1): There is no evidence that this man arrived in New England, nor has any attempt been made to find records for him in Plaitford, Wiltshire [GM 2:6:100].
Nicholas Batt of the Devy[z]es linen weaver (3): Nicholas Batt was born about 1608 and married by about 1633 Lucy, whose surname has not been determined. They had three children, the eldest of whom, Ann, was born about 1633, and therefore born in England. The family settled in Newbury [GM 2:1:200-4].
Thomas Scoates of Saru[m] laborer (1): There is no evidence that this man arrived in New England, nor has any attempt been made to find records for him in Salisbury, Wiltshire [GM 2:6:201].
The next two names are bracketed and described as “of Langford laborers”:
John Pike (7): John Pike was born about 1587 and married at Whiteparish, Wiltshire, on 17 January 1612/3 Dorothy Day. The first child of this couple was a son John, baptized at Whiteparish on 8 November 1613. He was followed by three more children born in old England, whose place of baptism has not been discovered. Two more children were baptized at Landford, Wiltshire, in 1623 and 1628. Five of these six children are found in New England records. Upon arrival John Pike resided briefly at Ipswich but soon moved to Newbury [GM 2:5:463-66].
John Musselwhite (1): John Musselwhite settled at Newbury and died there in early 1670, apparently never married [GM 2:5:201-3]. No records have been found for him in old England. Under these circumstances, there is no basis for estimating his age. His origin in Landford, Wiltshire, as stated in the passenger list, is supported by his interactions in New England with John Pike [MBCR 1:153; EQC 1:125]. In his will of 30 August 1669, Musselwhite included a bequest to “John Muslwhit of Baverstoc in Wiltsheer in old England the grandson of David Muslwhit my brother” [EPR 2:185-86], suggesting that this immigrant 2010 Great Migration Newsletter 21 was not a young man at the time of his migration, and may have been a contemporary of John Pike, although no genealogical connection has been found between the two men.
Sampson Salter of Caversham fisherman (1): The first record for Sampson Salter in New England was on 20 May 1638, when he was admitted a townsman at Newport, Rhode Island [RICR 1:92]. There is no record that he married, and no solid evidence for estimating his age [GM 2:6:148-50].
Henry Kinge of Brenchley laborer (1): There is no evidence that this man arrived in New England [GM 2:4:167].
William Andrewes of Hampsworth carpenter (1): There is no evidence that this man arrived in New England. “Hampsworth” may be an alternate spelling for Hamptworth, a locality in the parish of Landford, Wiltshire.
The next two names are bracketed and described as “of Romsey tailors”:
John Knight (4): John Knight was baptized at Romsey, Hampshire, on 30 January 1594/5, son of William Knight [Phoebe Tilton Anc 235]. He married there on 29 March 1624 Elizabeth Vincent. They had five children baptized at Romsey, two of whom sailed with the family to New England, where they settled at Newbury [GM 2:4:208-12].
Richard Knight (3): Richard Knight was baptized at Romsey, Hampshire, on 14 January 1602/3, son of William Knight [Phoebe Tilton Anc 235-37]. He married by 1626 Agnes, whose surname has not been discovered. They had five children baptized at Romsey, only one of whom survived to make the passage to New England. Like his brother John, Richard Knight settled at Newbury [GM 2:4:212-14].
Thomas Smith of the same weaver (1): The eldest known child of Thomas Smith was born about 1636, so his marriage could have taken place just before departure from old England or just after arrival in New England [GM 2:6:4025]. He settled in Newbury.
Nicholas Holt thereof tanner (2): On 11 April 1671, Nicholas Holt deposed that he was “aged about sixty-three years” [EQC 4:370], meaning that he was born about 1608, and so was about twenty-seven years old when he sailed for New England. His first known child was born at Newbury on 30 March 1636, so there was just barely time for him to have married in New England within a few days after his arrival. More likely, he married in old England not long before his migration.
Robert Field of Yealing laborer (1): This passenger may be the Robert Field who appeared at Newport, Rhode Island, in 1638, along with a number of other residents of Newbury (but not including any other passengers on the James) [RICR 1:59; GM 2:2:522].
Anthoney Thetcher of Saru[m] tailor (6): According to his own narrative, Anthony Thatcher first settled at Newbury, but within a few weeks chose to accompany his cousin Joseph Avery to reside in Marblehead. In the passage from Newbury to Marblehead, their vessel was shipwrecked on rocks near Cape Ann, and all four of Thatcher's children drowned, along with most of the other passengers on the vessel [Young?s First Planters 485-95]. Thatcher and his wife survived, and they eventually settled at Yarmouth, where they began a new family.
Peter Higdon his servant (1): If Peter Higdon did arrive in New England, he presumably accompanied his master on the disastrous coastal voyage of 11 August 1635, which ended in a shipwreck off Cape Ann, and so he would probably have drowned on that day [Young's First Planters 489-90; GM 2:3:317].
The next two names are bracketed and described as “youths of Hampton of about 17 years old”:
James Browne (1): There is no evidence that this man arrived in New England, nor has any attempt been made to find records for him in Southampton [GM 2:1:420].
Laurence Seag[e]r (1): There is no evidence that this man arrived in New England, nor has any attempt been made to find records for him in Southampton [GM 2:6:226].
The next two names are bracketed and described as “of Sarum tailors”:
Henry Lev[er]age (1): There is no evidence that this man arrived in New England, nor has any attempt been made to find records for him in Salisbury, Wiltshire [GM 2:4:278].
William Parson (1): There is no evidence that this passen-ger arrived in New England, nor has any effort been made to find records for him in Salisbury, Wiltshire [GM 2:5:372].
The next three names are bracketed and described as “of Romsey carpenters:”
John Emery (6): John Emery was baptized at Romsey, Hampshire, on 29 March 1599, son of John Emery [NEHGR 89:376]. He married first at Whiteparish, Wiltshire, on 26 June 1620 Alice Grantham. Their first child, Alice, was born about 1622 and the next three children were baptized at Romsey in 1624, 1629 and 1633 [GM 2:2:446-52]. The family settled first at Newbury.
Anthoney Emery (4): Anthony Emery was baptized at Romsey, Hampshire, on 29 August 1601, son of John Emery [NEHGR 89:376; Phoebe Tilton Anc 185]. He married by 1631 Frances, whose surname is unknown; they had a son James baptized at Romsey on 18 September 1631 and a daughter Rebecca born about 1633 [GM 2:2:441-46]. The family settled first at Newbury.
Will[ia]m Kemp servant (1): There is no evidence that this man arrived in New England, nor has any attempt been made to find him in Romsey, Hampshire [GM 2:4:134-35]
