I would like to explain the word transported to those who do not know. The word transported, There were no less than 150 capital crimes in England for which a man might be "transported." Of course, there were the expected ones of murder, arson, and treason, but there were also lesser ones such as maiming, stealing a cow, cutting down trees along an avenue, sending threatening letters, and standing mute when addressed by a legal official. Some convicts were even people of quality. One gentleman of high birth, for instance, was transported for stealing books out of a library. As a child, George Washington was taught to read and write by a transported convict who had been a schoolmaster. Especially in the countryside, the crimes which resulted in transportation were often very petty. One man was transported for stealing a silver shoebuckle. Another was sent to America and indentured for seven years for the theft of a chicken. Feb. 10 I will start on the census. To save time I will list by state and use first names only {they are all Pattersons.} This list is long so bear with me. Watch for the areas where the names are listed this will help you in your search.
