Excerpt from Virginia Company of London: Extracts From Their Manuscript Transactions; With Notes May 26, 1619. - "One Mr. Wyncop commended to the company by the Earl of Lincoln, intending to go in person to Virginia, and there to plant himself and his associates, presented his patent now to the court, which was referred to the committee that meeteth upon Friday morning at Mr. Treasurer´s house, to consider, and if need be, to correct the same." June 17, 1619. - "By reason it grew late, and the court ready to break up, and as yet Mr. John Whincop´s patent for him and his associates to be read, it was ordered that the seal should be annexed unto it, and referred the trust thereof to the auditors, to examine that it agree with original, which if it does not, they have permission to bring it into the court and cancel it." February 2, 1619, old style. - A grant of land to "John Peirce and his associates, their heirs and assigns." "It was ordered all so, by generale consent, that such captaines or leaders of particularr plantations that shall go there to inhabite by virtue of their grants, and plant themselves, their tenants, and servants in Virginia, shall have liberty, till Palfrey, in his accurate History of New England, quoting Bradford, says the patent of the Leyden people was "not taken in the name of any of their own company, but in the name of Mr. John Wincob, a religious gentleman then belonging to the Countess of Lincoln, who intended to go with them." Thomas Clinton, Earl of Lincoln, had three daughters - Frances, the wife of John, a son of Sir Ferdinando Gorges; Susan, the wife of John Humphrey, first deputy governor of Massachusetts bay; Arbella, the wife of Isaac Johnson, one of the settlers of Salem, Massachusetts. The ship Arbella, which landed Winthrop and company at Salem, was so named in compliment to Lady Arbella. In the records this name is also written Wyncopp. Our histories spell it Wencob. Bradford, speaking of Wyncopp, says, "God so disposed, as he never went." The date of this patent has hitherto been unknown to historians, (Palfrey, volume, p. 154.) Bradford in History of New Plymouth, says, "This being sent over for them (at Leyden) to consider." In England the new year commenced on March 25 until 1752, when the Gregorian or New Style was adopted. John Peirce and other traders of London appear to have made a contract with the Leyden people and furnished them with transportation to, and subsistence, after reaching the coast of America, and two or three months before the sailing of the colonists of the Mayflower, endeavored to have intrusted to them a fund given to the Virginia Company for the education of Indian children.
