Many of the settlers who survived the journey went on to make important contributions to the transplanted cultures of their adopted countries. The Pallistar were among these contributors, for they have been located in early North American records: James Pallister who settled in Barbados in 1634; Rich Pallison, who arrived in Virginia in 1677; Thomas Palliser, who arrived in Virginia in 1682; Patrick Palliser, who came to America in 1740.
