The John Evangelist was a pinnace, a light sailing ship with two or three masts, that was part of Governor John White's second attempt to relieve the Roanoke colonists. Reliable sources list William Lane as captain. It could well be that the oral tradition about Caleb Williams, David O'Neal, and Elijah Scarborough are all fiction. Further research is definitely called for. <br /><br />The other ships in the 1590 expedition were:<br /><br />Conclude, a pinnace of 20-30 tuns, Joseph Harris, captain <br /><br />Hopewell (also known as the Harry and John), 140-160 tuns; Abraham Cocke, captain <br /><br />Little John (120 tuns), Christopher Newport, captain<br /><br />Moonlight (formerly Mary Terlayne), 80 tuns, commanded by Captain Edward Spicer. <br /><br />Two shallops lost under tow in the waters just off Plymouth.Philiphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01572532603071469799noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6559692.post-1727696782099386632010-10-21T10:52:55.895-04:002010-10-21T10:52:55.895-04:00John Williams (abt 1727-1787) purchased one half o...John Williams (abt 1727-1787) purchased one half of Ocracoke Island from William Howard in 1759.<br />He was the progenitor of all of the Ocracoke Island Williamses.<br /><br />As I mentioned, the story of the wreck of the John Evangelist in 1586, some say 1590, (captained by Caleb Williams) is oral tradition. It has never been verified. If accurate, Caleb Williams is probably the ancestor (maybe the gr-gr-gr-gr-gr-grandfather) of John Williams. <br /><br />I doubt we will ever know for sure.Philiphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01572532603071469799noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6559692.post-44737051913247774032010-10-21T09:50:13.361-04:002010-10-21T09:50:13.361-04:00Goood morning Philip, Re: lst post ...Goood morning Philip, Re: lst post I thought JOHN WILLIAMS (pilot & part owner l759) was the ancestor of all the Williams of Ocracoke.
