Genealogical Dictionary of the First Settlers of New England

[Coldham]

I have a note of possibly three Luffmans in Virginia: Daniel (3 mentions) and William (1 mention) included in my books/cds "Complete Book of Emigrants." These are available in most US genealogical libraries if you not come across them before. I suspect Daniel and William were closely related since both are listed in December 1666, the former as a transportee and the latte as the contractor in Bristol. Hope this helps,snd good luck.

Thanks for that Peter. According to the will of James Luffman spelt Loughfman! They were his sons' James was a saddler in the city of London who died around that time. As I have so far been unable to find a record of his death I suspect it was during the great plague of London, and his death like thousands of others went unrecorded.I seem to recollect too, that the transportation had been engineered in order to get a free passage to Virginia.
