, this work provides an exhaustive list of immigrants to Virginia, 1623-1666,
who were
not
original patentees of land. As the records stand, it is almost impossible to discover names of persons who came to Virginia
unless they were patentees of land, and the great majority of immigrants to the colony were not patentees.
Nearly 25,000 names have been collected from the original records in the Virginia State Land Office and arranged in alphabetical order.
Every immigrant from 1623 (when the records begin) down to 1666 is noted with the name of the patentee or party acting as sponsor, and
the date and place of residence.
As the author remarks,
“The search has been systemic and thorough and every name from 1623 (when the records begin) down to 1666 has
been noted with date of appearance.”
In June 1624, King James I assumed responsibility for the colony of Virginia after he dissolved the Virginia Company of London. He ordered Virginia’s leaders to make a record of the colony’s inhabitants and their provisions. This census-known as the 1624/5 Muster-is the first comprehensive account of households in British North America. In addition, it is the only extant census for seventeenth-century Virginia. A 1623/4 list of the colony’s habitants noted who survived the 1622 Indian attack and where they lived. This list did not include details about the relations among the settlers or their ages.
The 1624/5 Muster is a house-to-house survey that contains information about the location of households in Virginia, the individuals in each household and the ties that connected the colony’s early residents to one another. The census-takers also made note of each household’s provisions, buildings, boats, arms and ammunition, and livestock. The names of individuals who died during 1624 is part of the muster.
