In 1666 James Henderson was given 400 acres for transporting, among others, Edw. Top.I believe him to be Edw. Toft as it was frequent to use phonetic spellings.As landowners in upper Accomack, the following Tofts are listed:Annabella, Arcadia, Attlanta, and Ann.They are somewhat-a couple of miles-neighbors of James-as are most of the persons he transported.It appears, but I'm not sure, that he transported mostly relatives of his neighbors.
I'm most interested from where the Tofts came as it might provide me clues for James.
Hope this provides some clues for you.
