It arrived with 37 new settlers for Plymouth . However, the ship had arrived unexpectedly and also without many supplies, so the additional settlers put a strain on the resources of the colony . Among the passengers of the Fortune were several additional people of the original Leiden congregation, including William Brewster's son Jonathan, Edward Winslow's brother John, and Philip Delano (the family name was earlier "de la Noye") whose descendants include President Franklin Delano Roosevelt . The Fortune also carried a letter from the Merchant Adventurers chastising the colony for failure to return goods with the Mayflower that had been promised in return for their support . The Fortune began its return to England laden with £ 500 worth of goods (equivalent to £ 78 thousand in 2010, or $119 thousand at PPP), more than enough to keep the colonists on schedule for repayment of their debt . However, the Fortune was captured by the French before she could deliver her cargo to England, creating an even larger deficit for the colony . </P> <P> In July 1623, two more ships arrived: the Anne, under the command of Captain "Master" William Peirce and Master John Bridges; and the Little James, under the command of Captain Emanuel Altham . These ships carried 96 new settlers, among them Leideners, including William Bradford's future wife Alice, and William and Mary Brewster's daughters Patience and Fear . Some of the passengers who arrived on the Anne were either unprepared for frontier life or undesirable additions to the colony and returned to England the next year . According to Gleason Archer, "those who remained were not willing to join the colony under the terms of the agreement with the Merchant Adventurers . They had embarked for America upon an understanding with the Adventurers that they might settle in a community of their own, or at least be free from the bonds by which the Plymouth colonists were enslaved . A letter addressed to the colonists and signed by thirteen of the merchants recited these facts and urged acceptance of the new comers on the specified terms ." The new arrivals were allotted land in the area of the Eel River, known as Hobs Hole, which became Wellingsley, a mile south of Plymouth Rock . </P>
