Migration of the Wocky family

To escape the unstable social climate in England of this time, many families boarded ships for the New World with the hope of finding land, opportunity, and greater religious and political freedom. Although the voyages were expensive, crowded, and difficult, those families that arrived often found greater opportunities and freedoms than they could have experienced at home. Many of those families went on to make significant contributions to the rapidly developing colonies in which they settled. Early North American records indicate many people bearing the name Wocky were among those contributors: William Vokey from Jersey settled in Spaniards Bay, Newfoundland, in 1775; Thomas settled in Western Bay in 1783; Philip in Port de Grave in 1787;Nathaniel was a fisherman in Delby'.
