Abstracts from the volumes of High Court of Admiralty Examinations. The period covered is, perhaps, notable for the rogues and scapegoats it produced and for the introduction - in 1718 - of the first government scheme for the transporting of convicted felons to populate the Southern colonies. Thus the pirates William Kidd, Giles Shelley and the almost legendary John Avery feature in these pages alongside the unfortunate German brewer, Jacob Leisler, Governor of New York until he was executed for treason in 1691, and the plausible Jonathan Forward, friend of government and the criminal fraternity alike, as befitted his official title as Contractor for the Transports.

Until 1858 the proving of wills and the granting of administrations in England and Wales were matters dealt with by the ecclesiastical authorities in any one of some 300 probate courts. The principal such court was the Prerogative Court of Canterbury (PCC), so called because its jurisdiction was exercised on behalf of the Archbishop of Canterbury, the Primate. It was the PCC which handled matters of probate affecting the personal estates of English subjects dying overseas and its records are therefore of vital interest to the descendants of Englishmen who chose, or were compelled to emigrate to the American colonies. It should be noted, however, that the ecclesiastical courts had no jurisdiction over bequests of real estate (land, houses, etc.), and though many wills included instructions for the disposal of such property, any such bequests that were disputed had to be tried at Common Law.
Summary notes of all grants of probate registered in the PCC were recorded month by month in the Probate Act Books (PROB 8), and of all grants of letters of administration in the Administration Act Books (PROB 6), now housed at the Public Records Office, Chancery Lane, London. Each Act Book covers a calendar year (reckoned according to the modern calendar) and is divided into sections, called Seats or Walks, according to the region in which the testator or intestate died. The so-called Register Walk catered for areas falling outside the Province of Canterbury (the southern half of Britain) and for grants made following litigation. Up to and including the year 1730 every entry in every Act Book has been examined but, because of the rapidly increasing number of entries after that date, only the Register Walk sections have been scanned from 1731 to 1799. Until 1733 all entries were written in Latin.
The Probate Act Books usually record, in addition to the name of the testator and his executor(s), his marital status, the place where he died and, after 1796, the value of his personal estate. This information is not necessarily noted on the register copy of the will. The Administration Act Books note the name of the intestate, his marital status, his administrator(s), usually his place of death and after 1796, the value of his personal estate. Throughout the period covered many entries in the Act Books refer to persons dying "in parts overseas": how many of them may have been American settlers will probably never be known. Certainly throughout the earlier part of the eighteenth century the PCC clerks betrayed a superficial knowledge of geography which leaves the researcher with plenty of room to guess whether the term West Indies might mean mainland America or, for that matter, whether when the scribe wrote of the Island of Virginia he had any idea of the place he was describing. Throughout the preparation of this volume entries from the Act Books have been transcribed only when, from the original wording, it has been possible to establish unambiguously that the deceased or his relatives had some connection with mainland America.
For Testators:
a. Probate was normally granted after an executor had submitted the original will to the PCC and it had been found to be in order and subscribed by two witnesses. Executors could either attend the court in person or be sworn by two local clergymen.
b. Administration with will annexed. A grant was made in this form where, for some reason, probate could not be granted to the executor(s) named. Most frequently in the case of American wills such grants were made to attorneys or relatives in England because the named executors were unable to attend in person.
c. Limited probate.
d. Limited administration with will annexed. A limited grant of this kind empowered executors or their attorneys to act in the distribution of a testator's effects within defined conditions specified in the Act Books. An American will was often probated in one of the colonial courts and a copy transmitted to the PCC which would then empower the representative of the deceased to administer his effects in England and collect any debts owing to him.
Grants of probate and of administrations with wills annexed (a and b) have been abstracted in abbreviated form so as to include all relevant information in the Act Books; but limited grants (c and d) being often quite lengthy and filled with circumstantial detail, have been only partially abstracted. The text of grants made in limited form should, therefore, always be consulted in addition to the wills themselves. Register copies of all wills listed in this volume are available in class PROB 11 at the Public Record Office in Chancery Lane, London, complete references in each case being obtainable by consultation of the manuscript annual indexes PROB 12. In addition, original or facsimile copies of wills (not always distinguishable) may be available in class PROB 10.
For Intestates:
e. Administration. Letters of administration were usually granted to the widow, next of kin, or principal creditor of a personal who died without making a will.
f. Limited administration was granted when some limitation of time or place was imposed. In the case of Americans dying intestate such grants were often limited to the administration of his effects in England. As with limited probates, the text of the grant in the appropriate Act Book should be consulted since only the salient points have been recorded in this volume.
Knowledge of the month and year in which a grant of administration was made will provide ready access to the affidavits sworn in the PCC by administrators (PROB 14), which indicate the approximate date of the intestate's death. In the case of American colonists, the grant can be several years delayed after the time of death.
The most valuable additional source of information about grants of administration is likely to be the Administration Bonds (PROB 46), which are still under arrangement and therefore not yet available for public inspection. They will be particularly significant in providing the names and addresses of the persons who entered into a bond with the administrator(s).

The Mayflower Series of Papers: 4. Immigrants on the Pilgrim Ships
On November 20, 1621, just one year from the day the Mayflower sighted the hills of Cape Cod, the Fortune arrived in Plymouth harbor. The following is the best list of her passengers that can now be offered - the italics indicating surnames of families which are known to have intermarried into the Mayflower families: Philip de la Noye (later Delano).
Later in July 1623 the Anne arrived, and ten days subsequently the Little James. Many were from the Leyden flock, and the following is believed to be a nearly complete list: Thomas Clark, Mrs. Alice Carpenter-Southworth; Thomas Tilden, wife and child; Richard Warren's wife Elizabeth and five daughters Mary, Ann, Sarah, Elizabeth and Abigail.
"A Book of Accounts for the Shippe called the Tristam & Jane, [of] London which came from Vriginia Anno Domini 1637" is one of the interesting Virginiana unearthed by Mr. Francis L. Berkeley, Curator of Manuscripts, the Alderman Library, University of Virginia, while doing research in Britain. It is the earliest account of a trading voyage to Virginia the writer has seen and contains numerous items of interest. Like voyages to the Near and Far East described in John Offley's Book" (Virginia Magazine of History & Biography, L (1942), 1-12) it was a joint stock venture with each member putting up either a certain amount of money or other commodities, repayable at the end of the voyage with a proportionate share the profits. In this case there were eight shares divided among (?) persons as follows: Mr. Nathaniel Withers, one-eighth; Mr. Henry G--- one-eighth; Captain Batten, one-sixteenth; Mr. Thomas Steed, one-eighth; Mr. Daniell Hopkinson, the so-called "Merchant" but acting more . . . supercago, three-eighths; his brother, Mr. Abraham Hopkinson, one-eighth and Mr. James Pickering, one-sixteenth. Daniell Hopkinson died in Virginia testate leaving his brother-in-law, Joseph Clifton, his executor. Hopkinson's will was probated in London (P.C.C. (52) Goare 1636 in Principal Probate Registry, Somerset House, London). The account was among the papers filed in the settlement of the estate.
The Tristam & Jane probably left England in late summer or fall of 1636 arriving in Virginia in time to take on the tobacco which was ready for market by December. On the homeward voyage the ship probably reached London the latter part of March 1637 for Daniell Hopkinson's will was probated April 8, 1637. the ship took back to England hogsheads of tobacco totalling 31,800 pounds or an average of slightly over --- pounds to the hogshead. Besides this, the partners shipped on the Unity of the Isle of Wight two hogsheads weighing 550 pounds.
Timothy Stockdell appears in the "Accompt" as purchasing Edward --stuppe and Anthony Lentall. He soon sold them, for, on February 6, 1637/38, Humphrey Higgenson, Gent., patented 700 acres called by the name of Tuttey's Neck adjacnt to Harrop, "upon a branch of Archer's Hope Creek parting it from Kingsmell's Neck." "Said land graunted unto Elizabeth his now wife by order of Court October 4, 1637, whose right is transferred to said Higgenson, and alsoe due for the adventure of 14 persons, Eliza. Higgenson, Edward Hartop, Anth. Lenton," etc. Anthony Lentall (Lenton, Lynton, Linton) is doubtless progenitor of the family later in Lower Norfolk and still later in Stafford and Prince William counties.

Some Early Emigrants to America abstracted by Cregoe D.P. Nicholson
In November 1946 Miss J. Cameron, who was at that time Clerk to the Middlesex County Council, read a Paper on the Middlesex Quarter Sessions Records before this Society. In the course of her remarks she mentioned that amongst the Records housed in Middlesex Guildhall, Westminster, there was "a collection of indentures of persons willing to serve in the Plantations in 1683 and numbering a thousand, coming from various parts of the --- with details of their address and calling, especially in the 1683 . . . They were to go to Maryland, Virginia, Barbados and Jamaica. Strange though it may seem, this announcement appears to have aroused no interest at the time and nothing further was . . . these documents until Air Chief Marshal Sir Christopher . . . drew the present writer's attention to them.
There are two or three different forms of printed Indentures with blank spaces which were filled in in ink. For convenience of reference a specimen of each form is here printed and given a reference letter which will be used in the abstracts to show which form of working is used. The first form is as follows, and will be referred to as Form A. The words in italics are the words filled in in ink in the ..

Between Elizabeth fflecher Aged 15 years of the one party, and Edward Patteson of White Chapel on the other party, witnesseth, the said Eliz: Fflecher doth thereby covenant, promise and grant to and . . . the said Edward Patterson his Executors and Assigns, from the . . . of the date hereof, until her first and next arrival in Pensilvainia and . . . for and during the term of seven years, to serve in such service and imployment, as he the said Edward Patterson or his Assigns shall . . . imploy her according to the custom of the Country in the like . . . . In consideration whereof the said . . .

American Passenger Lists 1804-6 - British Museum Transcripts - Masters of vessels leaving Irish ports were, at on time, required to furnish a sworn list of their passengers, probably in order to prevent the escape of offenders against the law and the emigration of seamen or skilled artisans. A collection of these lists is preserved in British Museum. It covers the years 1803-6. As the great majority of the vessels sailed from Ulster ports, and there were a number of Ulster passengers even in those sailing from other ports, and there were a number of Ulster passengers even in those sailing from other ports, it was thought of interest to make a transcript of the portions not yet published. Between June 1804, and March 1806, the lists deal with 47 ships and give the names of some 1,600 passengers. 11 sailed from Belfast, the same number of Dublin, 10 from Londonderry, 9 from Newry, 2 from Sligo, one each from Ballyshannon and Warrenpoint. In two cases the Irish port is not stated. The port of entry in America is in 30 cases New York, in 8 Philadelphia or "Philadelphia and Newcastle," in 4 Boston and 2 each Baltimore and Charleston, 1 New Bedford. The emigrants from counties Antrim, Armagh, Down, Fermanagh, Londonderry and Tyrone have been indexed in Appendix B.
