Harold,
True. However, we do know that the British (in the form of the West Indies
Company) had established trading stations in Barbados in the very early 1600s
so by the time Elizabeth arrived there would have been a considerable English
presence there. One wonders just what purpose the English authorities had in
mind in sending what are presumably now free (or, at least, unrestrained) and
poor English citizens to the Barbados. The typical practice was to use
"native" inhabitants as the workforce so it would seem that wasn't the
intended
use for them.

The date puts it well after "The Merry Monarch," Charles II, was restored in
1660. Although criminal activity could get you executed or transported
(quite possibly as what was basically a slave) to some place like Barbados,
other offenses such as being too free in expressing your opinion coudl get
you as bad or worse. I seem to remember that one of the inspirations for
our First Amendment was the case of a printer (whose name I do not recall)
who had printed something that was deemed unrespectful to Charles II who had
him drawn and quartered. In this same general period Daniel Defoe was
sentenced to the pillory for some similar offense (the pillory was capital
punishment because the government fastened you in it and generally allowed
the London mob to do what they what to you without hindrance--few survived).
So without further info it's hard to say what type of criminal Elisabeth
Carle might have been.
