Note 136 — Chapter XIV · SOCIETY IN THE OLD DOMINION.

Bruce, Economic History of Virginia, i. 609; Gardiner, History of the Commonwealth, i. 464. It is commonly said that many of the prisoners condemned for taking part in Monmouth’s rebellion, 1685, were sent to Virginia (see Bancroft, Hist. of U. S. i. 471; Ballagh, J. H. U. Studies, xiii. 293). But an examination of the lists shows that nearly all were sent to Barbadoes, and probably none to Virginia. See Hotten, Original Lists of Persons of Quality, Emigrants, Religious Exiles, Political Rebels, etc., pp. 315-344.
