Although the ocean trips took many lives, those who did get to North America were instrumental in building the necessary groundwork for what would become for new powerful nations. Some of the first immigrants to cross the Atlantic and come to North America bore the name Apeltry, or a variant listed above: Richard Appletree who arrived in Virginia in 1652.
