Thank you so much, Gail. My 9th g-grandmother and uncles are listed among the passengers (Judith Smead, Israel and Thomas Stoughton). I really appreciate you listing these wonderful references, as well.

Thank you so much for this info. My 8th great grandfather Nicholas Knapp and his wife Elinor were on the Arbella ship which came in 1630. Thank you again.
