1621 Muster Roll
« on: Sunday 02 January 05 18:35 GMT (UK) »
I am in possession of a copy of a 1621 Muster Roll for Londonderry listing 110 males by name in the defense force. I also have a copy of the  "Overseers" report of 1621 to the London Companies reporting on the status of the settlement. I can only read a few words here and there as its in what was called "High Secretary English" beautiful document and penmanship.

Hi - rumour has it that our ANDERSON's were part of the plantation - family names Joseph, Hugh, Alexander etc.  I have traced them back to only 1800, so if there is mention of any Anderson's, I'd be appreciative.

Thanks,

Les
