- Quoted in J. Gardner Bartlett, Newberry Genealogy
(Boston: The author, 1914), 35, and in Charles Henry Pope, A History
of the Dorchester Pope Family (Boston: the author, 1888), 14. Both Bartlett
and Pope are documented, but the Pope's documentation falls short of
present-day standards. For example, Pope merely says that the original
manuscript diary is in the British Museum. One has to turn to Bartlett
to find the diary more specifically cited as part of Egerton Mss. 784.
Pope also states that he examined only a copy of the diary made by Mr.
James Phinney Baxter of Portland, Maine.
- A comparative timetable can be reconstructed for
a contemporary voyage; one ship, apparently the Neptune of Coldham's
list, left Weymouth ten days after the Recovery and arrived in July
1634. See Coldham. "Genealogical Gleanings oin England," 172;

should be corroborated by other evidence.
