one of the four servants from Virginia mentioned in the 1638 annual letter of the Jesuits.

to be pure speculation, and no further mention of Francisco beyond the reference in
Father White's headright has been found.

19. The editors of the Archives thought the "Mr Pulton" who hired de Sousa was Alexander
Pulton. Alexander Pulton appeared as attorney for Mrs. Francis White in a law suit in
November of 1642 as noted in the records only a few pages after de Sousa's deposition.
This apparently led the Archives editors to index all references to a "Mr. Pulton" in court
records from 1640-42, including the statement of de Sousa, as references to Alexander
Pulton. In addition, Alexius Pulton served as "surgeon" in a three week expedition
against the Susquehanna indians that began on September 21, 1642. Archives of
Maryland, 3:119, 122. Pulton's activity as surgeon in 1642 suggests that he was the Mr.
Pulton who was paid for "physick" in the accounts for the estate of Richard Lee in 1639.
