Thank you for these suggestions...which I shall get
and study.

I am hoping that someone may have tackled the period
1649 through 1689 and addressed not only the evolution
of legal trade between Virginia and England, but the
illicit trade among Massachusetts, Virginia, North
Carolina, the West Indies, Ireland, other European
ports and Africa.

Best wishes for the New Year and thanks again.
