I am looking for the ancestors of Garret Supple who departed from Dublin on 09 Mar 1666/67 on the ship "The Dove." He arrived in Accomack County, Virginia in April 1667 and had a number of court appearances:
27 May 1667: Because they came without indentures, four servants to Mrs. Anne Toft had their ages judged by the court: Patrick Easton, 13 years; Owin Murphy, 15 years; Garret Supple, 17 years; and John Murfee, 15 years. The servants themselves acknowledged their ages. They were to serve till attaining the age of 24 years.
18 Nov 1671: Deposition of Ambrose White aged 36 years, 18 November 1671: White was certain that when Garrot Suple arrived aboard the ship Dove, he had an indenture for four years signed by John Boyse. "Garrett Suple did often show it and proffer it to sell on board ship for water, by which means [I] came to take notice of it." Signed Ambrose White. (p. 33)
6 Mar 1672: Deposition of Ambrose White aged about 37 years: To his "certain knowledge" Garret Seple had been given in Dublin, Ireland, an indenture to serve Capt. Pitts for four years after his arrival in Virginia, which was on 23 April 1667. Signed 6 March 1671/72, Ambrose White.
Garret had a number of surnames in the court records: Sapple, Seple, Sipple and Supple. He used Sipple and Supple the majority of the time during his stay in Virginia from 1667 to 1698. After 1698 he lived in Kent County, Delaware and went by the name of Garrett Sipple. Land records in Delaware indicate he was an attorney.
A fellow Sipple researcher has indicated
the Supple surname was also associated with County Cork and Kerry in Ireland.
