On a side note, internet ship's manifests for the Henry and Francis state that George Scot's daughter Eupham died on the crossing. This is incorrect. Eupham Scot married John Johnstone in April of 1686, and over the course of their marriage bore him several children. She filed for her father's lands which were guaranteed George Scot for a successful arrival in New Jersey, and was awarded same. John Johnstone was named guardian of G Scot's son who also survived the voyage. {Source: Records of East Jersey}
