Mr. Kneebone,

Sorry, I sent the last message unintentionally.  I couldn't remember that
the ships Blessing and Hercules were among the ships mentioned in the
MUSTER, but thought I'd better check to see before sending the message.  Was
trying to switch to my database to make sure and the message flew away.

I'm sorry it did as I found that my memory wasn't very good!  Indeed there
were people who came on those ships.  Or at least, they may have.  In case
anyone is on this list is interested, I'll mention them:

  Mrs. Jane Pierce, wife of Capt. Wm. Pierce, came on the Blessinge [no date
given]
  Robert Partin said he came over in the Blessinge in June 1609 [maybe it
was 1610?]

  Walter Scott arrived on the Hercules in 1618 ["8" and "0" could have been
indistinquishable]
  Booth Reynolds arrived on the Hercules in 1609 [maybe 1610?]
  Mr. William Julian  "           "           "           "
  John Chaundler      "           "           "           "
  Michael Batt        "           "          [no date given]
  [Since three people said they arrived on he Hercules in 1609, it would
seem that it made the voyage in both 1609 and 1610.  Perhaps Ms. Hillier's
work will clarify that.]

  There was no mention of a ship named "Admiral" by any of the colonists in
the MUSTER, however.
