Hi Mike: Thank you for this reference. I already had the information in my files but it was very kind of you to send it along. The list of trades and professions is very interesting. It seems strange that David BUBBA is mentioned in this document and not John. David died in 1626 and John in 1623 both leaving underage children. I have assumed they were about the same age so likely to be brothers and thus sons of the emigrant who came to England via Rotterdam in 1579 whose name isn't known. They were members of the Dutch church in Sandwich. However since the list is for those who were "borne in Sandwich of Stranger Parents" I can only assume that if John was in fact a brother to David that he must have been born elsewhere perhaps in Margate where his supposed father was said to have settled first. If John himself had been born overseas then his children should have been listed as being born in Sandwich of Stranger Parents. John BUBBA made a Will in which he left his son Daniel 40 pounds and his daughter Ann 40 pounds. David made a Nuncupative Will on his death bed in which he named his son Abraham and stated he was to receive 5 pounds more than his sisters to purchase tools. Abraham BUBBA married in Margate and had 2 children there before returning to Sandwich. I don't know what happened to Daniel and Ann the children of John. All the Bubba/Bubber(s) in Sandwich appear to descend from Abraham and his children.
