Transcriber's Notes:
Families are grouped
* 103, 104 & 128 Members of the advance party of three
* 134 Mary Roberts is the daughter, no age given
1: The ages stated cannot be established beyond doubt. Different versions
of the passengers' list give different ages for some individuals.
2: It seems that the emigrants assembled at certain points prior to
boarding the 'Mimosa'. It is these places that are listed above in
accordance to the list of passengers given by the Revd Abraham Matthews.
They are not the places of origin of the various families.
3: It is difficult to square up the precise number of emigrants who
sailed out to Patagonia on the 'Mimosa', but the best authorities have
concluded that it was 164. The advance party added a further three to the
original contingent.
4: This is a summary of more complete notes. Contact Jeremy Howat for more details
of what happened to each family.

Emigrating to Argentina
Correspondence 04/21/2005 passengers #77-80 Jenkins
The name of my mother is Arianwen Jenkins, my grand father is Howell Jenkins.
Howell jenkins is son of Richard Jenkins the son of Mimosa passenger Aaron Jenkins.
My great-great-grandfather Aaron Jenkins arrived when he was 35 years
old on the 28th of June 1865, with 152 other Welsh that landed facing
what is today the city of Puerto Madryn. The sea trip lasted two months.
The first few years were the hardest since the majority weren't farmers
and the desert made the crops of wheat fail. They were very hungry and deprived.
It was in 1868 when Aaron Jenkins discovered the right form of irrigation,
the ground diverting part of the water from the Chubut river. In March the
first crop of wheat was made.
In January 1876 the Argentine government decided to appoint a civil authority
in the colony that didn't seem to agree with the inhabitants, among other reasons,
because of their nationality.
Antonio Oneto (Italian born) was appointed as the "national commissioner" and
received instructions from Juan Dillon, from the Department of Immigration, to
respect the autonomy of the settlement.
The Welsh were allowed self government through a council and a magistrate and
judgment of the jury etc, but would report periodically to the authorities in
Buenos Aires on the development of the colony.
These instructions were respected and complied with by Oneto, except in the case
of a murder whose perpetrator was detained and judged by the settlers and sent
(for petition of the commissioner) to Buenos Aires where it had to be judged for
official request. In less than three years the murderer was free and was able to
return to the Chubut valley.
Oneto stayed until April 1879 and was succeeded in provisional form by Petit Murat
in 1879, during the period of the assassination of one of the most popular colonists,
Aaron Jenkins, at the hand of a Chilean.
Before the passivity of the Argentine authorities, the Welsh decided to capture
and kill the murderer and thus, since then, according to reports, they were never
bothered by the "mixed race Indian-Argentines that frightened the area.
Aaron Jenkins is buried in the cemetery in Gaiman.
Aaron (35) and Rachel (32) Jenkins were from Mountain Ash and they had two
children, James (2) and Richard (1).
My great-great-grand-father, Aaron Jenkins, was married to Rachel Evans and
had a son, Richard, who was my great-grandfather.
