    1. [NFLD-LAB] Varder/Pym
    2. Thomas Cole
    3. Account book of Anthony Varder, senior. (a west country merchant with Bristol connections) containing 46 pages of business accounts 1697-1705 including some relating to his trade with Newfoundland and to his dealings with John Pym of Exeter, and 4 pages. Date range: 1697 - 1713. xxxx The preceding is available at the Bristol Record Office. Anthony Varder was one of a group that our Newfoundland historians refer to as migratory fisherman - I'll use my description: "dual residents". In 1654 Anthony Varder, mariner, is mentioned in Collaton St Marychurch, Devon. You'll find Anth Ffarder & wife, mother, & 3 children, 1 boat, 15 servants in Bay Roberts, Newfoundland, 1675. His will was made in 1714 Bedminster. Interesting too is the mention of John Pym (or is it Pynn?) of Exeter.
