wrecked in Jamestown Bay off the coast of Virginia and john
floated for three days on a piece of driftwood, being picked
up by a passing vessel.
Took patents of land which
prove they had brought over other settles or had done
something for the commonwealth. At that time, no settler could
take up over 50 acres though he could buy 100, unless he had
earned the privilege of a larger patent, which seems to prove
that they had headed the passengers coming with
