A List of Servants Transported by Samuell Gibbons of Bristoll in the Ship 
Batchelor of Bristoll

=========================================================================

Judging from entries from "The Bristol Registers of Servants sent to 
Foreign Plantations 1654-86" by Peter Wilson Coldham, the "Batchelor of 
Bristol" was clearly picking up passengers from Bristol, England in the 
1670's. The voyage from Bristol, England to St. Mary's, Maryland would 
have taken the ship around the south of Ireland, passing the ports at 
Dublin, Wexford, Waterford and Cork, all and any of which would be natural 
emigration ports, especially for Catholics, who would wish to go to 
Maryland, rather than Virginia, which was chiefly Church of England.
