Transcriber's Notes:

In transcribing I have tried to keep the original case size of each word 
and spelling of this document and have not changed any punctuation or any 
known abbreviations.

Several words were abbreviated.

ats - seems to be "also known as" or an alias

*the money abbreviation which looks like a written small e is over both 

these numbers.  I have been unable to find out what these represent.

*Kingham could be Hingham



The contributor of this document states that there is more information 

available in the book "Bondage Passengers to America" by Wilson Coldham.  

There was a mutiny on this ship and it was forced into port at Vigo, Spain 

where 15 were put ashore.  This is a list of the people that left the 

Thames in London but which ones actually got off at York River, Virginia

is unknown.
