Netti,
        With regards to early ships to Virginia, Colonial Williamsburg
seems to have taken the appendix to Susan Hillier's dissertation and
incorporated it as part of their Research Library Series (?).  However,
if you research it as a Ph.D. dissertation, you may be able to locate it
that way.  You also may want to contact Colonial Williamsburg's Library
to see about accessing it.  Finally, yes, you may read it at our museum
if you have no luck elsewhere.
        Also, the document prepared by Henry Moseley was done for staff
use here, but you certainly could look at that as well.  He footnoted
the references and arranged it all chronologically.  
        Finally, yes, the 1624/25 muster is on microfilm as part of the
Colonial Records Project, a project of the Library of Virginia.  Mr.
Kneebone indicated that the Colonial Records Project reels are available
through inter-library loan. I cannot recall where in northern Virginia
it is held, but we have a set at the Jamestown-Yorktown Foundation,
Colonial Williamsburg has a set, and the Library of Virginia does as
well (also University of Virginia).  I would have to check the reel
number for the muster listing, but perhaps Mr. Kneebone knows it if you
e-mail him.  The documents are not arranged chronologically on the
reels.
        I hope this helps in your research.

Nancy --

  Thanks for calling to my attention the "List of Ships Travelling
Between
England and Virginia, 1607-1630"  which Susan Hillier researched for the
Colonial Williamsburg Foundation Library in 1970.  Eric Grundset said it
is
possibly available at the Fairfax County, Virginia Library which we
mutally
live near.  I will certainly check to see if it is.  I did not find it
in
their On-line Catalog, but perhaps microforms are not included.   I also
did
not find it in the LVA Catalog--and it would seem they would have it.

If neither of those libraries have it, is it available for research
elsewhere in this area that you know of?  Maybe Gunston Hall?  Of
course,
there is always the Library of Congress, but I never seem to find things
"on
the shelf."

If all else fails, would I be able to see it at your foundation?  Also,
perhaps, Mr. Moseley's material?

You can probably answer another question for me.  Is the 1624/25 Muster
available on microfilm so that one can look at it?   If so, where?

Thanks so much,

Netti
