On what ship did my ancestor John Crossman, b. 1588? arrive in MBC.2. Parents of John Crossmans

Question

Much information can be found on John Crossman but cannot discover vital information on his arrival in America.  There is also a lack of verified information on his family in 16the Century England.

Comments

Excuse my ignorance - but what is MBC.2., please?

Answer 1

Massachusetts Bay Colony....I could not spell out because of word limit

Answer 2

I searched in the Great Migration database and only found one reference to John Crossman and that was a land transaction. Robert (a brother?) was mentioned several times but no reference to a ship or arrival dates.

The Great Migration is about the best source for early settlement in the area. New information does occasionally get found but this source is quite thorough.

Thanks, and I do have the land record.  Robert was his son.

While I wouldn't give up searching for his arrival, you may well never find it. Not all records were preserved.

Thanks Doug, I have been searching for 50 years but I am persistent.
