Leonard Calvert's letter of May 30, 1634, he said that
they stopped at Virginia to land some passengers there. 
Those were most likely from amongst the original passengers,
although they could have taken passage from Barbados or
St. Christophers.

Additionally, a letter describing the Christmas celebration
aboard the Ark stated that "30 sickened of fevers and
whereof about a dozen died afterward."
Another mentions "our mades, which we brought along",
indicating that many of the number were household servants,
most of whom the "London Searcher" would likely not have
counted in his report of "about 128" settlers in the party.
