DelG Posted September 15, 2016 Report Share Posted September 15, 2016 I am hoping someone in Britain or otherwise knowledgeable is able to provide assistance. In 1671, Capt John Boddy (no ship listed) made claim for land for having transported persons into Maryland among whom is believed to be my immigrant Summers ancestor. My questions are, is their the possibility that records exist in Britain of ships departing for the Americas or more generally any ships captained by John Boddy which might help me to ascertain where exactly my ancestor came from? Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DelG Posted September 15, 2016 Author Report Share Posted September 15, 2016 I did find another land bounty to Capt John Boddy in 1676 which lists his ship as the Cecilius. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fortunately, these types of land records are readily available in Maryland but they do not give the information such as what I am seeking i.e. port of original departure.
