Can somebody help me with understanding of the below?
from a post I have collected,
"these books are on people whom were found guilty of crimes in england andsent to the colonies for term of sentence. will be happy to look for
those brick walls we all have. names of the books are.
1. the complete book of emigrants in bondage 1614-1775
2. supplement to the complete book of emigrants in bondage 1614-1775
both books are authored by: peter wilson coldham "
wright,richard of northwold. reprieved for transportation for america feb
1695.norfolk
wright,richard. sentenced to transportation for stealing lead, lent, 1745.
surrey
jones,thomas (alias: wright). reprieved for transportation aug awaiting
transportation oct 1700. middlesex
Were those reprieved still transported? I'm not sure I am understanding
what "reprieved" means with these examples as it looked like some still
were immigrated. Could the bondage be as an indentured servant or were
all of these for misdeeds/crimes?
Thank you.
Tamara Mitchell

>Browse the VA-ROOTS online archives. I just want to thank everyone who responded to my DNA query, especially Bill, Donald, Larry, Ruby & Steve. I hope that I thanked everyone who sent a reply to me personally, if somehow I missed you, I'm sorry, it was a senior moment. I feel that I have a lot more to go on in choosing how to handle this, and I am very grateful.
