G. & 1 Tbe Importation Of Wives FOr The Mayflower Pilgrims. My Good friend, Dr. R. H. Earle. of Marietta, is very indignant ?t the false charges, as scurrilous as fal?e, cpade by jne whom he calls "an obscure Englishman," ou Virginia woraeu, especially on those of the humbler class, who were brought over by the London jompany to supply the colonists with wives, and sends me the followiug exTact from Mr. Bryan's paper, "The Commoner;" "A Louiwianan, who has recently >een examining some old documents elating to the colonizing of Virginia, lays that he has discovered that the jurchase of young women as wives vas in vogue in the early settlement >f that state. Speaking to a represenative of the New Orleaus Times-Denocrat, this gentleman says: 'A Jeter accompanying one of these shipnents, and dated London, Aug. 121621, u illustrative of the simplicity of the imes, and the concern for the welfare if the colony. It is as follows: "We; end you, in the ship, one widow and leven maids for wives for the people f Virginia; there has been especial care lad in tbe choice of them; for there lath not any of them been received trnrnI VL-miin ni->nHht iiin? Tn IU t upvu gWU <VVVujujvMv.m..v?v, aae they can not be presently married, ye desire that tbey be put with several louseholders that have wives, till they an be provided with husbands. There re nearly fi-ty more that are shortly o come, and are sent by our most lonorable Lord aud Treasurer, the Carl of Southampton, aud certain worthy gentlemen, who taking into onsideration that the plantation can ever flourish till families be planted, nd the respect of wives and children ar tbeir people on the soil; therefore, ave given this fair beginning, for the eimbursement of whose charges it is rdered that every man that marries hem gives 120 pounds of best leaf abacco for each of them. Though we re desirous that the marriage be free, ccording to the law of nature, yet we rould not have these maids deceived nd married to servants, but only to uch freemen or tenants as have means 5 maintain them. We pray you, herefore, to be fathers to them in this U8iness; not enforcing them to marry gainst their wills." Partisan historians have taken every ipportunity to detract from the old ommonwealth and this fact of her tttKinh non nnf ho rloniod ttllj UiOWiJ TT liivu VMU MWW vv MVM.VM aa been very pron.ineotly set forth, 'bose who told the glorious history of be old commonwealth have somehow arefully avoided allusion to this inideut, while they did not deny it they uietly ignored it. It is well enough to state the case as ; really was, and to do this we must Bview somewhat the history of the jondon company. Great companies >r developing trade were in high repute a these early days of the 17th century, 'he East India company, and the Afican company, were coiring money jr the adventurers; Spain had found i South America a mine of immense realth, and Holland had found a rich reasure tn the far east, aud now there ras a prospect of as rich a harvest in fie new colony of Virginia. A great ompany known as the Loudon comany was formed. Dukes, earls, lords, larquises, squires, bishops, rectors, uilds, drapers, blacksmiths, anchormitbs, dowager spinsters, all took bares in the company, and with high opes the first colonists came across ba seas in 1607. They were all rrfen, nd most of them young men of good imilies. The story of the first fourteen years f their effort to develope the colony ? a sad one. It was a hard life and rought poor returns.

Their mployers were the men who owned be land and bought them from the hip owners for five years. There cere lew marriageable women in the olony. Rich ladies had no desire to eave the fair fields of England to find , husband in a wild frontier, and give ip a palace for a cabin. Those romanic dreamers who love to speak of the 'egance of the colonial homes and the ardens of their ancestors are simply musing in teir simplicity. The planers were most of them gentlemen and ccording to Bancroft bad about eighty >lantations in 1622. Of the 1,200 peo>le, many were servants and a commratively lew were land owners. I lave gone through with Hatten's aention of the planters in Virginia in February, 1623, after the Indian masacre. The settlements mentioned here were the "Calledv" lands, the 'Neak" of land, Sherley Hundred, ordau's Journey, Flowerdeu Hundred \'eBt Islaud, Chaplain's Choice, James ;ity, On the Maine, On James Island, {e Keck of Land, Over the River, )ver Against James City, The Glass iosue, Martin's Hundred, Warwick - mi? r?3i "mi: jqur&ke, xne luumu -luiukhih, ?jii?u>eth "Citye," Buck's now, Bass Choice, The Eastern Short.

Many of the freeholders were of good EDgli6h stock and unwilling to marry servant girls. There were some gentlemen and some yeomen who needed wives sadly. There was a great deal of discontent which thecompauy was anxious to remove. So it was decided to send ovei some srood young women who were willing to go to a new land to find a good husband aud a good home. They were carefully selected. They were perhaps country bred maidens, or working girls from the crowded cities, whose characters were untarnished. They were not to be sold nor to be forced to take a husband not ol tbeir choice. The shipowners were willing to take the risk of getting their passage money. The planters came to Old Point to inspect the cargo and when the girl to suit him was found he simply paid her passage money, called the parson and took his bride home. Burke says : "At the instance and advise of the treasurer one hundred virgins were sent over as wives." Campbell Bays, in 1621 there were ninety sent. "The wives were sold to the colonists for 150 pounds of tobacco. There was no sale, the colonists simply paid the passage monej and it was money well expended. Ttie Clipping lrULLI IUO WU11UIBB1UUCJ is very valuable as giving a correct account of thiB procedure. Tha shipment of virgins aud widowt was discontinued after the- massacre in 1622 aDd it the course of a' few years the children of the colony {mated without the intervention ol the sea captains. Will there ever come a time when history will be truly told? When partisans will not endeavor to make facts to suit their wishes or theii prejudices? Virginia has suffered more from romancers than ony other but that of the Mayflower people. The fear ful amount of new statement about who composed the little colony who landed on Plymouth Rock would &1J many a volume. While I have Holten I will copy the list of the Pilfrims with the certain assurance that will bring on my devoted head the wrath of many a dame whose bos si has been that she was most certainly descended from one who came in the Mayflower. Holten gives the liat and tells what befell the first coemrs. They were: Mr. John Carver and his wife, Katherine; Disen Minters returned to England and died; John Howland, a servant married and hac ten children; Roger Wilder, diec unmarried; William Latham, a boy died in Bahsma; a maid servant mar ried and died in two years; William Brewster and May, his wife; Love nmcMter hia snn: "Rinhard Moore and brother; Richard married, his brothel died; Edward Winslow, two children Ellen Moore, a child died; William Bradford, George and Arthur; George B. had five children; Isaac Alltston two children In New England; Joht Hook servant died first winter; 8am uel Fuller and two children; Willian Butler, servant, died on the way John Crackston and son, both diec early; Captain Myles standish; Rose his wife died early; had four chil dren by second marriage; Christophe; Martin and wife; Sol Pruder, Johr Lang were all servants, died early William Mullens and wife; Joseph bis son ; Priscila M.
