Sarah Bradley, Why would someone be in Virginia in 1695?

I found a Sarah Bradley (may be an ancestor) she was born in 1662 in Old Swinford, Worcs. - she may have gone to Gloucester but died in Virginia in 1695 age 33. Why would she have been there? Would she have been transported? Just interested. (I got this info from FamilySearch.
Many thanks,
Sheri
 
Barrie, thank you - it makes interesting reading - I wonder what she did? There's always another question isn't there.

The poor soul had probably stolen a slice of bread because she was starving, they were cruel times Sheri.

Sheri she could have possibly been on the mayflower 1620, but anyway she would have been amongst the earliest of the new world emigrants to the Carolinas and Virginia's English settlements. The New England ancestry society in the USA are very proud of their Ancestry and would welcome any enquiry's from the UK I am sure.

Thank you Barrie and Paul, I don't think she'd have been on the Mayflower as she wasn't born until 1662 in Old Swinford but a funny thing is that on the FamilySearch I found it said she was christened at St May DeCript Gloucester and then went to Virginia where she died. I suspect she is not one of mine but they were a big family.
