[8] For the date of Popham's death, we have followed Foss rather than
Campbell. The latter fixes the date as June 1, 1607, only one day
after the colonists sailed. Campbell has fallen into a mistake in
making Popham's age seventy-two; for Campbell himself, and the other
authorities, give the date of his birth as 1531.
