Overview

 * Winthrop Fleet
 * Immigrant Ships To America/First Families/Winthrop Fleet

Winthrop wrote to his wife just before they set sail in 1630 that there were seven hundred passengers. Six months after their arrival, Thomas Dudley wrote to Bridget Fiennes, Countess of Lincoln and mother of Lady Arbella and Charles Fiennes, that over two hundred passengers had died between their landing April 30 and the following December, 1630. That letter traveled via the Lyon April 1, 1631 and reached England four week later.
