Passengers of the Christian


Master John White


Voyage of 1635



This table details the roll of passengers of the Christian, which sailed from London in March, 1634/35, Julian calendar, bound for New England. The ship arrived safe at Massachusetts Bay, although some of the persons listed below may not have debarked. The rolls represent persons who were ready to embark at the date of record, which often preceded the actual sailing by several weeks. Some may have decided not to sail. Some servants may have run away. And there usually was some loss of life among the passengers from disease and malnutrition during the passage.

This information was transcribed in the 19th century by Michael Tepper from records found at the Public Rolls Office, London.


For each common date of record, groupings of persons in consecutive order in the roll often indicate some relation by kinship, household or town origin. Either the persons were present in person before the scribe at that time and queued up in their natural groupings to enroll, or the documents of fealty arrived to the scribe from particular sources and were registered in order as received.

Spelling and Abbreviations:


The surnames are spelled as Savage, Tepper and their English collaborators could best decipher the old handwritten passenger rolls. Expect a few mistakes in interpretation, as well as errors by the original 16th century scribe. Savage's later corrections have been used. These spellings are antique and often curious, so if you are searching a particular name, try all imaginable variations.

We have generally given prenames their modern spelling. In many cases the spelling of a prename was unusual or doubtful, or the interpretation of the original abbreviated form is uncertain. If so we have left it as originally recorded. This is most notably the case for the abbreviation "Jo:" which can mean either John or Joseph or perhaps other names. Where a given name beginning with the letters "Jo..." is fully spelled out here, it was found that way in the original, or the intention is otherwise certain. Variants of "Anne" have been left as in the original, since many times "Hannah" is meant. Elisa may mean Elizabeth. "Francis" was nearly always spelled the same and might be male or female. Recall that Christian and Bennett were usually female names in those times.

The information found comes from the church records of St. Andrew, Enfield,


London, England. It includes the marriage of John and Rachael, and the


christening of their first two children, namely Henry Stiles, and John


Stiles. The dates match perfectly with dates approximated from genealogical


research up to this point, and there is little doubt that this must be the


marriage of the John that went to Windsor, Connecticut.



Information found from St. Andrew, Enfield, London, England church records:



Married, John Styles and Rachell Beadells, on 24 May 1629 at St. Andrew.



Christened, Henry Styles, Son of John and Rachell Styles, on 13 Jun 1630 at


St. Andrew.



Christened, John Styles, Son of John and Rachaell Styles, on 18 May 1634 at


St. Andrew.



These are the only two children christened at St. Andrew. I also looked for


anything regarding the surname Beadells, and other variations, and found


just one record.



Christened, Edward Beadelles, Son of Henry Beadelles, on 3 Sep 1620 at St.
