I would like to know which ship in the Winthrop Fleet Richard Gridley & family were on.
Richard Gridley, a mason, is my 10 great-grandfather. He, his wife Grace, and two sons, Joseph and Abraham, were members of the Winthrop Fleet in 1630. I would like to know which of the 11 ships of the fleet they were on. If anyone can tell me or suggest where I might find such a list, I would greatly appreciate your help. Thank you in advance.

Hi, I have looked and was not able to find much. I did see a web page where you probably got your information. I am listing it here. https://www.packrat-pro.com/ships/shiplist.htm
Boston seemed to be their destination and none of the Winthrop ships went to Boston's harbor in 1630 all went to Salem's harbor. this is not far from Boston and that could have gone the rest of the way by land. Under the people tab, this website only lists Abraham and Richard But the ship list has them all. I have some clips I am sending. Now if you can find their landing date by hotel lists you could narrow it down using the landing dates on the web page listed. I would also point out that there were 12 not 11 ships the Willam & Francis are different ships I believe but are listed together.
I hope this is some help. If I find more I will let you know. please keep me updated on your progress
