I have found found records of Richard Heritage Born about 1640 in Brailes Warwickshire, England , died Sutton New Garden , USA August 16 1702 and his son Joseph Born Sutton Bedfordshire , England April 24 1675 and died November 13 1756 .

Here is a link that helps support this .

What I can't find is how they got there . I have researched all passenger ship list I can find and they do not appear on any of them . If anyone could provide another avenue of which I could explore it would be greatly appreciated .

Welcome to rootschat.

It may simply be that not all ships kept passenger lists, or not all passenger lists survive.

Yes that is a consideration , also a possibility is that they worked a cargo ship for their passage . I am content with the fact I may never know . I believe it is a safe bet that they put to sea through the Bristol Channel .

If the son was born in England in 1675, the date of immigration is going to be later than 1665!

There are very few passenger lists from that time period.  It would be surprising if you did find them.

Gosh I can not begin to tell you all how kind and thoughtful y'all have been . Very much appreciated !

So why or what would be the attraction for someone who lives in Burton Dorset to travel or go to Warwickshire from say 1450 ish to 1545 . Famine drought plague ?

How do you know the movements of these people?

People often moved to wherever they could secure work. In 1450 I couldn't even hazard a guess. And a guess would be all it could ever be.

Doubt it would be drought in Dorset though ....

Could this be Burton Dassett about 10mls. from Brailes ?
