Note 8 — [Boston Daily Advertiser, May 31, 1866.] POPHAM AGAIN AND FINALLY.

For the date of Popham's death, we have followed Foss rather than Campbell. The latter fixes the date as June 1, 1607, only one day after the colonists sailed. Campbell has fallen into a mistake in making Popham's age seventy-two; for Campbell himself, and the other authorities, give the date of his birth as 1531.
