Talk:Christopher Reynolds (politician)

Doubt & uncertainty

The following was placed on the article page:

Was he born in Gravesend? A published Reynolds genealogy made the assumption from this ship’s list that this Christopher Reynolds was probably born in Gravesend, Kent. But this is based on inadequate research. For one thing, the Port of London was actually located at the mouth of the Thames, at the town of Gravesend. So ships leaving the Port of London actually left from Gravesend. It makes sense that the local minister would administer the oath for ships leaving London, regardless of where the passengers were from. In fact, according to Hotten’s lists, the same minister performed this duty for every one of the 20 ships leaving London in the year 1635. (Not to mention other years.) It seems ridiculous to conclude that every person leaving England was therefore a resident of Gravesend. His connection with Gravesend was merely that his trip originated in London. Also note that there was no reason for a person who was already a Virginia resident to take this oath a second time.
