- Tobacco_Wives abstract "Tobacco wives were women who chose to emigrate from England to the American New World in the 17th Century and were purchased by their Colonial husbands with tobacco. Before these women were shipped over to Jamestown, Virginia, there were only men working and building upon the new land and therefore no chance of population growth. Tobacco wives are also known as mail order brides, king's daughters, casket girls, and Jamestown brides. They were well respected and happy to be in the New World. Like their colonial husbands, most shipped themselves overseas in search of opportunity and adventure. The first shipment of women was in 1620, and any man could purchase a partner's travel fees with 120 pounds of tobacco.".
