Listers: Moyses Symonson (Symons, Symonds, Simons, etc.) known in New England as the "pilgrim" Moses Simmons came from Leiden, Holland, landing at Plymouth on Nov. 9, 1621 in the ship, Fortune. Several early writers have concluded that Moses Simmons (Symonson, etc.) was born to a Dutch/Walloon family in Leiden and not originally part of the Puritan group that immigrated to Leiden from England by way of Amsterdam. My questions to the list are two: 1) Does anyone have any info or is anyone researching this Dutch/Walloon family? 2) Can anyone suggest a historical reference on the Walloons in and around what is now Holland in the early 1600s? -- W.E.
