Very interesting.

The material appears to be mostly derived from Orcutt.
For example, it doesn't say anything about the later trips with more people.

It also includes this final paragraph:

``A very few people who had made the dangerous voyage from Dorchester,
Massachusetts, to South Carolina with the Reverend Lord were still alive;
now, in 1751, they readied themslves for another trip.''

I wonder who was still alive who had made the first trip from Mass.?
Could be quite a few people, actually, since 1751 - 1695 = 56, and
many of our ancestors lived longer than that.

Here are a few, from a hasty scan of the database using the LifeLines alive
report generator.  Note that alive is guessing many dates, marked with c for
circa.  I suppose we could check some of the death dates by seeing who
was listed as an emigrant to Midway.

There are definite dates for at least two of these people,
William Way (III), who was my g6-uncle, and
Michael Bacon.

I would imagine Dane Bowen can probably come up with some others.

I2161   Mehitable Osgood                                    (1694-c1754)
            Mass., Essex, Andover
Her parents emigrated to S.C., so it's safe to assume she did, too.

I2244   William Way                                         (1694-1766)
            S. C., Dorchester
            Ga., Liberty Co., Midway

I3259   Abigail Way                                         (1692-c1752)

I3268   Susannah Chamberlin                                 (1693-c1753)
I3269   Mary Chamberlin                                     (1695-c1755)
Their parents emigrated to S.C., so it's safe to assume they did, too.

I7276   Sarah wife of Moses Way                             (c1691-c1751)
Her husband emigrated to S.C., so it's safe to assume she did, too.

I9116   Richard Andrews                                     (c1694-c1754)
He was associated with the S.C. people.  We don't know where he
came from, but Mass. seems likely.

I11795  Thomas Elliott Jr.                                  (c1695-c1755)
He was associated with the S.C. people.  We don't know where he
came from, but Mass. seems likely.

Here are some S.C. relatives who were still alive:

I2502   Mary Cater                                          (c1692-c1752)

They were married.
