Even the sending of such servants provided with arms, ammunitions and food was likewise rewarded.

And for every weaker servant or female servant over fourteen years, seventy-five acres of land was given.

"Christian servants" were entitled, at the expiration of the term of service, to the land so granted for their own use and benefit.

Philip Carteret, a cousin of Sir George, was appointed governor, and with about thirty emigrants, several of whom were Frenchmen skilled in the art of salt-making, he sailed for New York, where he arrived about the middle of July, 1665.
The vessel having been driven into the Chesapeake Bay the month before, anchored at the mouth of the James River, from whence the governor sent dispatches to New York.
