Sailed with Penn?

[edit]

I removed the claim that Anthony Duche sailed with William Pitt. No Duche appears on the passenger list of the Welcome, http://www.genealogybranches.com/welcome1682.html. See also, editors' note for footnote 1 here: http://www.jstor.org/stable/20084327 This seems to be a fable oft repeated. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.240.114.80 (talk) 12:58, 5 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Of course, you mean William Penn. What you deleted, as well as the article on Jacob Duché, Sr., say nothing about Penn's ship the Welcome. That article says rather that he accompanied Penn in 1700 (which date seems incorrect), which corresponds roughly to Penn's second voyage to his colony on the Canterbury (ship).--BillFlis (talk) 15:15, 5 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]
