The voyages were expensive, crowded, and difficult, though, and many arrived in North America sick, starved, and destitute. Those who did make it, however, were greeted with greater opportunities and freedoms that they could have experienced at home. Many of those families went on to make important contributions to the young nations in which they settled. Early immigration records have shown some of the first Jacquelines to arrive on North American shores: Edmund Jackling, who sailed to Boston in 1635; and George Jacklin who was on record in New York in 1862.
