Since the publication of "Hotten's Immigrants," no successful effort has
been made to
gather together, in one volume, a list of the thousands of persons who came into
Virginia
during the early period of her life.
The records of the Land Office in Richmond remain the only source from which these names
can now be obtained. As the records stand, it is simply impossible, without the most
extensive and expensive research, to obtain names of persons who came to Virginia,
unless
they themselves were patentees of land; and the great majority of immigrants to the
colony
do not appear as patentees. A list of the immigrants to Virginia has always been a
desideratum to the genealogist. To descendants of early Virginia immigrants this work
will,
in many cases, offer the only opportunity to trace their ancestry. It will often be the
means of forming the "Missing Link," which is the genealogists' bane.
Nearly twenty-five thousand names have been collected from the original records and
arranged in alphabetical order. The search has been systematic and thorough, and every
name
from 1623 (when the records begin) down to 1666 has been noted, with date of appearance.
NOTE-The first-mentioned name in every instance is the immigrant and the name following
the
word "by" is the patentee or party bringing him over.
