“In an era, when the eldest son usually inherited everything, haring off to the new world might seem less chancey than hoping big brother didn’t turn you out.”

A couple of my Brit ancestors were not the first born and were apparently from wealthy families, Their parents paid their way and financed them to go to the new world.

One such fellow was a sea going Brit Captain, and his parents bought him a ship, paid for a crew sent him to NC to live. On his way over he bought a female Greek slave and married her.

Many apparently well funded Englishmen from well established families and were paid to come to the new world. That well funded group preferred the New England area and north Virginia areas.

My later Scottish, Irish and German ancestors were not well funded!
