Thanks 2ndDivisionVet. You know, I got banned for a year here because of "spamming the keywords", and yet, some miserable ****head put "brainlessdrivel" in there, apparently without consequence.
The Great Migration was not mostly made up of Puritans. People were taking a big chance on the crappy vessels being hired out to transport them across the ocean to deposit them on a foreign, hostile shore, and anything they didn't have to sell to raise the money for their new start in life, or give away, they took with them. My surname ancestors came over in the 1630s aboard a vessel that went down three voyages later, during its return to Britain.
How is American historical archaeology brainless drivel?
