For decades, second sons of lesser nobility, merchant's factors, and land speculators herded sickly throngs aboard, betting that the purchase of these laborers and their landrights would establish them as wealthy planters in the New World. Governor Berkeley of Virginia called them all "a wild beast multitude." Only a small fraction of the whole survived their journey and a year in America. The seasoned survivors persisted, prayed, and multiplied. For millions of Americans, today, they are the source of distant family connections. 588 0 Print version record. 650 0 Immigrants|zVirginia|vFiction. 650 0 Immigrants|zNorth Carolina|vFiction. 650 0 Emigration and immigration|vFiction. 650 0 Ships|vFiction. 650 7 FICTION|xHistorical.|2bisacsh 650 7 Emigration and immigration.|2fast|0(OCoLC)fst00908690 650 7 Immigrants.|2fast|0(OCoLC)fst00967712 650 7 Ships.|2fast|0(OCoLC)fst01116439 651 0 Great Britain|xEmigration and immigration|y17th century |vFiction. 651 0 Virginia|xEmigration and immigration|vFiction. 651 7 North Carolina.|2fast|0(OCoLC)fst01204304 651 7 Virginia.|2fast|0(OCoLC)fst01204597 655 7 Fiction.|2fast|0(OCoLC)fst01423787 655 7 Historical fiction.|2gsafd 776 08 |iPrint version:|aBatchelor, Donald.|tBecoming Americans. |dRaleigh, N.C. : Boson Books, 1996|z1886420254 914 ocm49852127 994 93|bGTK
