The London Background of the Radisson Problem
THE LONDON BACKGROUND OF THE RADISSON PROBLEM^ Something can be done toward Illuminating the Radisson problem by approaching it from the angle of London and the conditions that obtained there in the years soon after the Restoration. For the purpose of testing the credibility of the last portion of Radisson's narrative, some sentences from It need to be analyzed. I A beginning may be made with the following: "But y" Hollanders being come to y" River of Thames had stopp'd y° passage, soe wee lost that opportunity." Here Radis son speaks the truth, although at first sight it may not ap pear so. It is generally known that the Dutch were in the Thames In 1665. It Is not so well known that on June 1, 1666, the Dutch fleet appeared off the North Foreland. George Monk, Duke of Albemarle, the English admiral, attacked. The North Foreland is the eastward projecting tip of the shire of Kent that guards the entrance to the Thames basin from the south. Major naval engagements took place In this theater of war on June 1, 2, and 3. Thus there was fighting at the very door of London. Naturally, then, Radisson is justified In writing: "So wee were put off till y" next yeare." A short time later the ship In which he and his partner were to have gone out to Hudson Bay " was sent to Virginia and other places to know some news of y" Barbadoes, and to be Informed If that Island was not In danger." ^ ^This article is based upon materials collected in 1934 while the writer was studying in London as a fellow of the John Simon Guggen heim Memorial Foundation.

English Colonization in the 19 Century
English Colonization in the 19th Century Examples of Colonial disunity were not surprising – Reasons: English Crown awarded colonial charters to: 1. Merchants 2. Religious idealists – different types of colonists 3. Adventurers Decisions to Emigrate 1. Rapid Population growth (1580-1650) in England created competition for food and jobs 2. New World was the land of opportunity 3. Institute a purer form of worship 4. Escape poverty, debt, jail terms, bad marriages 5. Religious and political persecution in Spain and England Upon arriving the colonist brought ideas and subcultures of which some were changed by the American environment. The New England colonies, the Middle Colonies, and the Southern Colonies all were distinct in various ways A. Economy B. Religion The Chesapeake: Dreams of Wealth Post Roanoke, New World interest lessened English interest reappeared with English rivalry with Spain Jamestown Colonization was very costly Solution – Joint Stock Company, large amounts of cash available with a stock investment plan, with hopes of high cash returns. 1st charter – London Company – John Smith 30 miles up the James River Problem – wealth was the motivation, not permanent settlement. Wealth rather than farming (planting corn) Captain John Smith – Prevented a Roanoke repeat A. Brought order and prevented anarchy B. Traded with Native American tribes for food C. Mapped the Chesapeake Bay D. Instituted military rule John Smith was rescued by Pocahontas Reorganization in government allowed for joint stock investment to be opened to the general public. Difficulties continue, a supply ship headed to Jamestown crashed in Bermuda John Smith suffered a gun powder injury and returned to England.

New Jersey Genealogy Research
New Jersey Genealogy Research Native American Inhabitants The indigenous peoples of the land now called New Jersey were the Lenape. They occupied the entire basin of the Delaware River in east Pennsylvania and south New York, together with most of New Jersey and Delaware. This was the home territory of the Algonquin peoples, the place from whom most of the tribes originated. Their name means "original people" or "genuine people." They spoke an Algonquian dialect. Though they were considered one tribe, the Lenape were a confederacy. They lived in small communities made up mostly of extended family members. The men would hunt or fish during the day. Depending on the season they might search for clams off the Jersey shore or hunt in the woods. The women worked in the gardens. They grew squash, beans, sweet potatoes, and corn. By priority of political rank and because they occupied the central home territory, the Lenape were accorded the respectful title of “grandfather” by all the Algonquian tribes and by the Huron people. The Nanticoke, Conoy, Shawnee, and Mahican claimed close connection with the Lenape and preserved the tradition of a common origin. The English called them the Delaware, from the name of their principal river; the French called them Loups, ‘wolves,’ a term probably applied originally to the Mahican on the Hudson River, afterward extended to the Munsee division and to the whole group. European Settlement Around 1524, Giovanni de Verrazano became the first European to explore New Jersey. He sailed along the coast and anchored off Sandy Hook. In 1609, Henry Hudson sailed through Newark Bay.

The 24 Proprietors
* Scheduled for publication spring 2021 by American History Press. www.americanhistorypress.com The 24 Proprietors | Donald Johnstone Peck | www.GardenStateLegacy.com GSL 50 December 2020 hen Sir George Carteret died January 14, 1680, his will directed that his East Jersey property should be sold for Wthe benefit of his creditors, but no purchasers appeared interested until 1682. The “Regime of the Twenty-Four Proprietors” began February 2, 1682, when his widow, Lady Elizabeth (after whom the present city of Elizabeth, New Jersey is named) sold the family’s East Jersey interests at public auction, initially to twelve associates. This dozen was headed by William Penn, and eight were members of the Religious Society of Friends (Quakers). They purchased the property for £3,400 and agreed to take in twelve more investors. The Carteret period had come to an end, and a new era begun, bringing with it significant new currents in the development of the province. The motivating force at the beginning of this period was the desire to make East Jersey a haven for persecuted Scottish Sir George Carteret (1610-1680) Quakers. The key figure responsible for this new course was the www.wikipedia.org great Quaker colonizer, William Penn, the most prominent of the non- Scot proprietors. William Penn Penn’s father, Admiral Sir William Penn (an Anglican and not a Quaker), had been First Lord of the Admiralty, commanding the Royal Navy. He had loaned King Charles II £16,000, which was still left unpaid at Admiral Penn’s death. To at last settle the debt, Charles granted Penn junior’s request for a large piece of North America on the west side of the Delaware River for settlement by Quakers and other colonists.
