Well, the ship Virginia carried people among whom the majority was men or those who were young male adults. On this ship there were not many people who traveled in couples or who were married. Majority of these travelers were travelling alone on Virginia boat. As opposed to New England boat on which most people were traveling with families consisting mixed age groups and gender. A simple reason for the later to carry families was that people on that are a bit rich than other and they can afford servants who help them.
