I'm sorry Fred, I'm just not enough of a historian to remember off the top of my head. There are plenty of passenger lists out there. I seem to recall some coming from Liverpool as well, but that may have been later. A lot of indentured servants & military went to the plantations & forts in Barbados first before coming up to Virginia in the mid & late 1600s. I recall that when Cromwell decimated Ireland, there were a lot of children & refugees escaping & sold into New World white slavery, my ancester probably one of them.
