29 October 1642: John Resbury, 150 acres lying in Wards Cr., near the Mill, NNE on Cross Cr., dividing same from land of John Freeman, ESE on the Cr. over against land of John Reddish and SSW on Edward Clooynes land.  Records regarding the transportation of three persons.

The 1642 date above is the latest date I have for placing John Reddish in Virginia.  Would love to hear from other James Island researchers, and find exactly when he arrived and on what ship!
