Gabriel WHELDON

Notes:

MYTH: Gabriel WHELDON a fisherman came to Salem in 1629 on the ship "Lyons Whelp", later removed in 1638 to Yarmouth, MA. This apparently comes from Plymouth Colony Records, 2:21.
FACT: PCR Vol. II, p. 21 (Court Orders, 1641-1651), while including a reference to Gabriel Whelden, has nothing to do with Salem or the Lyons' Whelp. It is an event that is dated 17-Jun-1641, and reads:
Will[ia]me Lumpkine & Hugh Tilly shall pay to Gabriell Wheildon 15s. for his third part of the skiff or boat they were partners in, & his damage sustained in the want thereof to fetch fish to fish his corn withal, and the boat or skiff to be theirs.
In addition, he does not appear on the partial passenger list in Banks' "Planters," which apparently lists passengers on the "Lyons Whelp."
