Ferdinando Alton - 1661 @ Wainoke, VA
From a letter written in NY dated 1 Sept. 1661
"... and he would that you should repair in a ship to James River to the upper part of Wainoke to the house of Mr. Ferdinando Alton and he will write where you may be accommodated until you inform him of your arrival. Meanwhile he will write to inform you of the way. Do not omit to let him, and no one else hear from you by every opportunity, for he alone is and will be your servant. He requests that you will write to him as if from his mother in London to her son, and from Wannoke in James River as if to your friend... "
