1 For this encounter, there are several accounts, varying in detail; some place the King in his barge, others in his royal yacht. See “Emigration from Yorkshire to West Jersey, 1677,” AHR II (1897), 472-74; Samuel Smith, History of the Colony of Nova Caesaria, or New Jersey (Burlington, 1765), 93; Amelia Mott Gummere, “Friends in Burlington,” PMHB 7 (1883), 249-67, 353-76; New Jersey Archives, II, 239; the details of the royal yacht are taken from her builder’s model in Frank C. Bowen, From Carrack to Clipper; A Book of Sailing-Ship Models (London and New York, 1948), plate 20.
2 Not all Quaker emigrants came to the Delaware. Others went to the West Indies, and a few to the Chesapeake colonies and New England. Many also found their way to Carolina, encouraged by the great Quaker colonizer John Archdale, a country gentleman from Buckinghamshire. Quakers became an important part of North Carolina’s population until the 19th century, when most left the state in a flight from slavery. See Stephen Weeks, Southern Quakers and Slavery (Baltimore, 1896), and Kenneth Carroll’s articles on Maryland Quakers in MDHM 47 (1952), 297-313; 53 (1958), 326-70.
