     James Hurst(Tanner) first appears in a dated record in the tax list of 25 March 1633, and from his position in the first list of freemen, he must have attained that status before 1 January 1632/33. But his arrival can be placed even earlier based on the birth of his first grandchild. His only known child, Patience, married Henry Cobb, and their first child was born in Plymouth on 7 June 1632, which would place the marriage of Henry and Patience no later than September 1631. Although it is possible that the marriage took place in England, followed by migration to Plymouth in 1632, it seems more likely that Henry Cobb and Patience first met in Plymouth, so that her father would have arrived in Plymouth by 1631. Given the record of his marriage in Amsterdam, he may well have been in Leiden congregation which came over in 1629 and 1630.
