I LOOKED AT A LIBRARY IN STOKES CO. NC AND FOUND A BIT OF INTERESTING INFO IN A SHIPS PASSENGER LOG. THERE WAS A WILLIAM WADFORD SHIPPED TO U.S. OR POSSIBLY CARRIBEAN IN 1685. HE WAS LISTED WITH 800 OR SO OTHER PASSENGERS WHO WERE SENT AS LABORERS. THEY WERE BEING PUNISHED FOR AN ATTEMPT TO OVERTHROW KING JAMES. THE RECORDS SHOW THAT MOST OR ALL OF THEM WERE LATER PARDONED.
