  • Notes 
    • In July 1622, two ships, (Swan and Charitie) arrive at Plymouth with a different group of adventures. They stay a couple of months before moving to establish a nearby at Weymouth (or Wessagusset). This groups is financed by Mr Thomas Weston. They are joined by a 3rd ship (Sparrow) with Phineas Pratt aboard. This groups fares badly with the Indians and is forced to abandon their settlement after a rescue by Plymouth militia.
      Bowman in MD 4:87, 129 relates much of what is known about Pratt, including his role in alerting the Plymouth settlers about the plight of the Wessagusset settlers. See Pratt's own Petition, found in Mass. Historical Society Collections - 4:479 (4th Series).
      In Sept 1623, the ship Katherine arrives with a group of settlers financed by Sir Ferdinando Gorges. They stop shortly at Plymouth before continuing onwards to the Weymouth Settlment.
