2. ↑ The list posted on this page is mostly from the "Adventurer List" posted by The Society of The Ark and The Dove (accessed 22 November 2023). That list displays only one spelling of surnames; alternatives were mostly retained from the list previously posted on this page. The clickable names on the Society's list lead to additional information (including alternative spellings, "status" [e.g., passenger, crew], and source citations). The links on this page are to the person's WikiTree profile.
3. ↑ A comment posted 21 November noted that "128 persons" arrived in Maryland - not sure if that count was intended to include captain and crew. As of 22 November 2023, the posted list has 129 names. From "The Ark and the Dove", by USGenNet Patrons Rhoda Fone & Carole Hammett (2001), posted by USGenNet, accessed 22 November 2023:
   
   

   "Neither the number who boarded at Gravesend (where all were required to take an oath declaring Charles I their true religious leader), nor those who boarded at Cowes (presumably to avoid taking the oath) is known. Lord Baltimore spoke of 300 passengers, but no ships lists are extant, and most evidence as to passengers is secondary."

5. ↑ ^{5.0 5.1 5.2} From an old version of the WikiTree profile of Richard Gerrard (1613-1686) (accessed 22 November 2023): "At the age of 21, he was an investors and passenger, who first went to Maryland with Mr. Calvert, the Lord Baltimore's uncle, proprietor thereof, aboard The Ark and the Dove. His sister Ann Gerard & distant cousin Thomas Gerard were passengers [was a passenger] as well." The USGenNet article lists "Richard Gerrard--Knight Baronet, son of Sir Thomas Gerrard, Lord Baron of Byrne" (citing "Ark and Dove Record, Passengers, Crew and Indentured Servants", Mrs. G. W. Hodges, Register of Maryland's Heraldic Families, Series II, by Alice Norris Parran, 1938) and Ann (Ann Cox, widow, m Greene). The only Thomas Gerrard mentioned is Richard's father, who is not the Thomas represented by Gerard-13. The profile for Richard's father: Sir Thomas Gerrard, 2nd baronet (1584-1630).
6. ↑ That her maiden name was Gerrard is disputed. See her profile: Ann (Cox) Greene (abt.1610-abt.1638).
7. ↑ The list had labeled Richard Gerard "non-immigrant" but this is not supported by the USGenNet article, which has the additional note about him:
   • "Mr. Richard Gerrard, immigrated 1633" has reference of Patents AB&H:66 (Gibb)
     Gibb: A Supplement to Early Colonial Settlers of Maryland by Carson Gibb, published 1997 by the Maryland State Archives
   • Additional notes for him on The Ark and The Dove "Adventurers" page: "Richard Gerard, Esquire (Investor and passenger)".
8. ↑ ^{8.0 8.1} See the discussion on the profile of John Price (1608-1659), "Regarding Black and White John Price", which concludes that "it is therefore believed that one was of a light complexion and the other of a dark complexion, thus being styled as "white" and "black" for differentiation."
9. ↑ From the USGenNet article: "Mathias Tousa," "Mathias Tousa, mulatto" and "Mathias Sousa" (Hodges), and "Mathias Sousa, mulatto" are probably all "Mathias Tousa, transported in 1633" (Patents 1:19, Gibb) and the Ark and Dove Society [previously listed] as "Matthias Zause."
