Thank you for looking at this for me Paul. You may be correct, but I am not
entirely convinced yet that these individuals did not make it to the Americas
as I know of a few that most certainly did. Richard Highfield is also listed in
Chandler's "Emigrants from Britain to the Colonies of America and the West
Indies."
I have checked the criminals list for any Highfields sent to America, and also
the land grants in Virginia but have not yet found Richard. I will check the
Maryland land grants to see if he is listed there.
