From the Thomas R. Cole Collection

The Journal of James Yonge (1641-1721), Plymouth Surgeon, ed., F.N.L.Poynter, (London).

An Account of the Ships and Planters that fished in St. Johns, 1669, the Marigold Admiral, together with the number of men each ship had.

A list of Planters and Interlopers:

Boats Men Mr. Dennis Loany 3 15 Mr. Furze 3 15 Mrs Grace Porter 2 10 Mr Nicho Hopkings 2 10 Mr Andrew Blase 1 5 Mr Rogers 2 10 Mr Andrew Holeman 1 5 Goodman Coke 1 5 Goodman Bennett 2 10 Mr Downing 2 10 John Lashly 1 5 Mr. Durdell 2 10 Mark Bickford 3 15 (Intr.) Jno Bickford 2 10 Jno Woods 2 10 Old Mr Cullen 1 5 Mr Roger Andrews 2 10 (Intr.) Mr Tho: Grigs 2 10 Old Churchwood 1 5. Note from Thomas Cole: The first captain to arrive in the Spring got to be admiral over all others who followed him (and lawgiver to any settlers who overwintered): the captain of the Marigold (the well known Christopher Martin, a true Newfoundland hero) was admiral in 1669. Surprisingly there is little mention of Martin's defense of St. John's against the Dutch.
