The underwriters of this voyage were John BEEX, Robert RICH and Will. GREEN. It was recorded May 13, 1652

Some of the Scotchmen found their way to Block Island, after being freed, and became a respectable section of the early settlers of that island. some had worked at Lynn and others at the branch works in Braintree. They must have belonged to the Dunbar Contingent. Their names are Alexander Innes, Robert Guthrie, Thormut (or Dermot) Rose, William Tosh, James Danielson, and possibly a few others.

. They all probably were taken at the battle of Dunbar Sept. 3, 1650 (or the Battle of Worchester 1651), when Oliver Cromwell was victorious and four thousand were slain and ten thousand made prisoners.
