was much desired but left to his own liking to go or stay when he came here; but
he stayed and married here.
John Allerton and Thomas English
were both hired, the latter to go master of a shallop here, and the other was
reputed as one of the company but was to go back (being a seaman) for the help
of others behind. But they both died here before the ship
returned.
There were also other two seamen hired to stay a year here
in the country, William Trevor, and one Ely. But when their time
was out they both returned.
These being about a hundred
souls, came over in this first ship and began this work, which God of
His goodness hath hitherto blessed. Let His holy name have the
praise.
