Pàgina 40 - Edmund Plowden, who had been in Virginia about seven years. He came first with a patent of a county Palatine for Delaware Bay, but wanting a pilot for that place, he went to Virginia, and there having lost the estate he brought over, and all his people scattered from him, he came hither to return to England for supply, intending to return and plant Delaware, if he could get sufficient strength to dispossess the Swedes.
Pàgina 104 - ... application, I suppose the party would, if they thought his want of success was owing to you, make such another outcry as they did when they were disappointed in getting the Collectorship of New Castle for one Morris, in whose behalf they had greatly interested themselves.
