As compared with the great number of Bristol captains, employed to voyage to the American Colonies, the West Indies, etc. Newfoundland voyages may have been an "unrecorded but included portion", of "recorded voyages England to the American Colonies", in some cases.

To all Christian people to whom these presents shall come. I John Gonning Esquire now Mayor of the City of Bristol send greetings in our Lord God everlasting. Know ye that this present day being the first day of June Anno domini 1646, Simon Wills, Master of the good ship called the "Fortune" of Bristol burthen 300 tons or thereabouts, in her last voyage from New Found Land to the Port of Bristol, and William Gough, ship carpenter aged thirty tears or thereabouts; came and personally appeared before me and did depose and affirm upon their Corporal oaths, voluntarily taken upon the holy evangelist of God. That setting out in the said ship from Mukeete [?Muskeete?] in Newfoundland on or about the 28th day of August last past, and bound home from this Port of Bristol, they Cor 10 days after the City of Bristol was taken by the Parliament forces, and was reduced to ye parliament obedience. And this these deponents know to be true having information of the Certainty of it from Mr. Mayor of Bristol, that then was upon conference with him, after they came in, & besides from many others. All which upon request as is usual, I the said Mayor have thought good to certify with this further. That these two deponents do make oath, that upon their departure from Maskete as aforesaid, and never met with nor had any parley with, any ship or boat, until they came into Kingroad. Nor had speeches with any or their company, nor knew any thing of the taking of the City of Bristol, until they came into the River. Witness my hand & Seal the day and year above written. John Gonning, Mayor. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The 1723 Devon Oath Rolls online.
