In another article in the Abridged Compendium of

the addition of two more generatons.

Jonathon (ca 1660-1724) of Accomack Co, VA m. (1708) Margaret

article}
There is a nine page article about "The Settling of Virginia's Eastern
Shores in the Seventeenth Century" which gives information on a Henrick
Wagamon who arrived in Virginia about 1660. He was born in Amsterdam,
Holland about 1625. Wagamon appears to have come to Virginia via
New Amstedam.. In 1649, he is listed as having sailed on the
ship Fulcone to New Amsterdam, where was employed as a carpenter...........He
died in 1682, survived by his wife, three sons and a daughter. Aside
from two horses, his will mentions few specific possessions....."
The URL for this article is :
Henricus/Henrik
Eastern Shores
With a little speculation, this appears to be the same family. Ruth
