Migration of the Barbott family
Thousands of English families in this era began to emigrate the New World in search of land and freedom from religious and political persecution. Although the passage was expensive and the ships were dark, crowded, and unsafe, those who made the voyage safely were rewarded with opportunities unavailable to them in their homeland. Research into passenger and immigration lists has revealed some of the very first Barbotts to arrive in North America: George Barbet, who came to Maryland in 1743; John Barbet, who arrived in Marblehead, MA in 1751; Anthony Barbot, who arrived in Charles Town [Charleston], South Carolina in 1817.
