Dear List:

I am the one who requested information on the ships and passengers coming to
Virginia ca 1607 to ca 1625.  Thanks so much to those who answered!  I have
been following up on the information and have accumulated quite a lot of
data which I will be happy to share with anyone who is interested.  I have
created a database which includes both the first muster and the second
muster as well as data on the ships.

I know the second muster was taken in January & Febrary of 1624/5, but
Hotten's ORIGINAL LISTS OF PERSONS OF QUALITY . . . only says  "A List of
the names of the Dead in Virgna since Aprill last".  The list is headed
"February 16: 1623."

Since they were still using the Old Style dates, I am not sure if this was
Feb 1622/3 or Feb 1623/4. If it was 1622/23, it includes those killed in the
Massacre, otherwise it excludes those.

There are 359 persons listed as dead in the first muster which is considably
more that the 114 who died in 1624--accordng to the second muster.  It
stands to reason, however, that quite a few people may have been wounded in
the March 22, 1621/22 massacre, but died after April from their wounds and
that accounts for the larger number.

Can anyone enlighten me?
