Biography
The link from Captain John Gurley to his supposed children has not been confirmed by primary sources, but is suggested by dates and locations.
He may be related to Thomas Gurley who was in Nevis in 1656.
Lt. Governor Hamilton's Journal of proceedings in St. Kitts, Jan. 27—Feb. 25, 1705/6.[1]
- Jan. 30. I sent out the sloop Mayflower, Capt. John Gurley, for intelligence.
- Feb. 3. Capt. Gurley returned having sighted the French fleet off Guardeloupe. I wrote to warn Nevis, and to Montserrat, whence Capt. Gurley returned with news of the French fleet.
- Feb. 4. I ordered the Windward forces to the Jesuites Colledge near to Basseterre. About 3 p.m. the French Fleet came round Nevis Point and stood in between that Island and this. I marched to Palmeta Point Frontier, and wrote to Lt. Governor Johnson and sent Mr. Cunynghame to the Old Road to dispatch Capt. Gurley with my letter for Antigua.
