GERARD and JONATHAN. These two emigrated to Bar- 
bados. In HOTTEN’S ‘ist of Emigrants is this entry :— 
28 June 1639.—REGINALD ALLEN of Kent, 30 yeares gent. ; GeRarp 
HauGuron 30 yrs. Co. Oxon, gent. and Davip Bix 35 yrs. Com. Kanc. 
gent., free planters of the Barbathoes from Portus Southton, JoHN 
Evenson of Co. Chester and Tuomas Evenson, his brother ANDREW 
Watter 18 yrs. Com.; Hertrorp, HumpuHry Bureiss of 1g yrs. of 
Cornwall and JoHN WETHERED of 22 yrs., servantes to the planters 
above named. They passe in the Bold Adventure of Hampton for 
the Island of Guernsey, fron thence they take shipping for the Barba- 
thoes who have taken the oat 1es vt Supra. 
At that time there \vas considerable emigration from 
England to Barbados where in 1636 some 6,000 English 
had settled. 
GERARD HAWTAYNE, who thirteen yearsafterhis arrival 
in Barbados was a staunch Cavalier, was closely conneéted 
with the Puritan party. His eldest brother, THOMAS of 
Colthorpe had married MARY daughter of Sir WM. DUNCH 
and first cousin of the Proteétor OLIVER CROMWELL, 
while his sister ANN with her husband ROBERT VIVERS, 
Mayor of Banbury on Decr. 11, 1640, gave evidence 
before the House of Lords against the Revd. JOHN 
Howes, Vicar of Banbury for disaffeétion against the 
Parliament, and for “ things said against Lord SAYE and 
SELE,”’ who, it will be remembered opposed the levying 
of shi money.* 
GERARD HAWTAYNE is mentioned as having held 
more than ro acres of land in Barbados in 1638+ so that 
probably his visit in 1639 was not his first settling in that 
Island. There is no record of when JONATHAN went there. 
It may be mentioned that GERARD had another brother 
named HENRY born in 1615, who may have been the
