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. To secure labor

>le who were williDg lo apprentice
hemselves for five years to hard serviude
to those who had grants of land,
ind men were punished for their mislemeanors
by being transported,
tometimes, and not infrequently, disputable
women came over as servants
ud they were such till freed. 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.

There were only one hundred and
seventy women in all, and of these not
thirty were unmarried, and perhape
most of these were "royal servants."
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.

There were 100 souls in the firs

ter and yet the descendants of tb<
Pilgrims in Atlanta alone woulc
populate a small city. Of course the^
are mistaken, but if a fair lady eve"
claims descent from duke or earl o

The price paid for their passage in ar
