Janet:

I recall your posting, and I believe if you recheck the muster you will find
it was William Sharp not Samuel who was married to Elizabeth.  You will also
find that confirmed in several patents from the 1630s given in Nugent --
sorry I don't have the cites here at work .

As for the Bonaventure, you will find it mentioned several times in
Kingsbury's _Records of the Virginia Company_ , but there is no passenger
list.

Best regards,

Peter V. Bergstrom

This is certainly true in one particular case.  A while back I asked here
(unsuccessfully, but several replies) for a passenger list for the
Bonaventure because supposedly, according to Adventures of Purse and Person,
among the passengers was my likely many greats grandmother Elizabeth ???
Sharp (yes, as in Samuel Sharpe's wife), m. 2 Parker, and m. 3 William
Baugh.
 Her maiden name is a mystery and so trying to find the list seemed a worthy
goal.

HOWEVER, In the "jamesships.txt" 1624 census organized by ships I noted
earlier today, much to my surprise, it says she came on the Margrett &  John
in 1621.   The way the census is set up, it only asked what ship the
colonists took, so if the ladies married in the meantime, the mystery
remains.

Any thoughts??
