dbo:abstract
  • Jacob Blakeway (1583–?) was at the centre of a historic incident in seventeenth century England which caused a great scandal and led to the four More children being sent to America on the Mayflower in 1620. For many years genealogists wondered why the More children's father sent young children to the New World on the Mayflower, in the care of others. In 1959, the mystery was solved. Jasper More, a descendant of Samuel More, prompted by his genealogist friend Anthony Wagner, searched and found in his attic a 1622 document, which detailed the legal disputes between Katherine and Samuel More and what actually happened to the More children. It is clear that Samuel did not believe the children to be his offspring. He arranged for them to be sent to the Colony of Virginia. (en)
