The Sea Venture is the ship that was wrecked off the coast of Bermuda, the one that is thought to be the basis of "The Tempest". All 150 passengers got to land safely. Then they used the salvage from the Sea Venture supplemented with local timber to build two new ships, the Deliverance and the Patience. These two ships sailed on to Jamestown in 1610, arriving there after the "starving time" to find only 60 survivors. John Proctor was among those who arrived on the Deliverance and the Patience. I don't know his age, but it seems to me the birth date of 1608/09 is probably not correct because if he had been a baby, surely that fact would have been mentioned. Next info: John Proctor is listed in the 1624/5 Muster as Head of Household at Pace's Paines (but there is more than one person listed as Head of Household at Pace's Paines). He has a wife named Allis, who arrived in 1621 on the George. There are four servants in his household. So it does not tell us anything more than we already knew about when Pace's Paines was established or when Richard and Isabella arrived. I suggest that if George Proctor was born in 1647 he probably was not the son of John Proctor and Allis; perhaps he was their grandson. em "Betty A.

It does suggest that Pace's Paines had been established as early as 1609/10. Could it be that Richard Pace came over on the same ship?
