List of foreigners imported in the Bilander Towns!-- head, Thomas Thompson, Master, from Amsterdam. Qualified Oct. 5, 1737.
This is taken from either the A or B list, which is fairly notorious for being incomplete and inconsistent. The C list (pledge and oath in front of city officials) is generally better although it was not mandatory. As there were supposedly 200+ on the ship I think and it only included males of majority age there appear to be lots missing.
On a webpage compiled by Judy Robbins, you can find some more historical facts on Valentine and his family.
