One of my practices when examining boxes or bundles of documents has been to look at papers other than those that I am directly interested in to see if there is anything interesting in them. Yesterday, at Kew, I came across a short document in C2 Charles I T29/5/1 that indicated that John and Nicholas Ferrar, two of the men chiefly responsible for the collapse of the Virginia Company of London and the death of between 3,000 and 4,000 colonists in Virginia between 1619 and 1623, were investors in the project to drain the Bedford levels. I have sent off a note to the VA-HIST site on this subject and hope to see it appear there.
