• Notes

  From The Welcome Claimants Proved, Disproved and Doubtful (citation details below): SHORT, MIRIAM, the elder: possible SHORT, MIRIAM, her daughter: highly probable SHORT, ADAM, her son: highly probable SHORT, ANN, her daughter: highly probable The three children appear on Lists S, T and V, and Ann Short is also on List Q. The mother has appeared on no previous list. The discovery that Ann Short was a passenger has been attributed to the late Dr. John G. Herndon. The proof is circumstantial: all three children are later found recorded in Pennsylvania or Delaware, and they were the beneficiaries of their uncle, Isaac Ingram, executed on the Welcome. It would be difficult to see how these two nieces and one nephew could be expected to profit from the goods Ingram had on the ship unless they were also present with him when he died. Moreover, the younger Miriam Short is recorded in Chester County almost immediately after the arrival of the Welcome, then married to the well-known passenger, George Thompson. The reason for thinking that Miriam Short the elder, mother of the other three Shorts, was on the vessel is found in Ingram's will where she is described as "late deceased," a phrase peculiarly appropriate if she had started the voyage and then succumbed to the smallpox. She may well have been the Miriam Short, Quaker, of Kingsbury, Warwickshire, who in 1663 was presented in the Episcopal Visitation for not attending church.
