----- Original Message ----- From: pepperjaq To: TheShipsList-L@rootsweb.com Sent: Tuesday, May 16, 2006 7:05 AM Subject: Fw: ship Gift of God, 1600's I am trying to find some record of a ship "Gift of God", which one source quite a long time ago said, brought immigrants to this side of the Atlantic. The only record I have found of this ship, anywhere, is in the 1930 publication "Pioneers On Maine Rivers", 1607 and later. My original ancestor, Joshua Proctor is said by that one source, to have come from England on that ship circa 1650. I have contacted most known museums, mariner/ship locations, etc. looking for a record of this ship with no luck. Does ANYONE have a idea or suggestion as to where to find a record of this long ago ship? Thanks for ANY help? Bettye---pepperjaq@comcast.net
