Virgil:
My thoughts were that he was probably from a poor/uneducated family in England.Thus logically, little is known of his background in England, his parents, or his wife.No commentary was intended on how well he did in America.Improving one's status was a goal of many who came to America at that time.
Do you have more on his Dutch benefactors and his relationship to them?
Does anyone know what ship Matthew arrived on and when??I have seen 1637 and 1639; but thought there were few enough immigrants and ships back then that maybe more information was known.
Thanks, Russ
