+THE PROCEEDINGS
+
+OF THE
+
+FIRST ASSEMBLY OF VIRGINIA,
+
+_Held July 30th, 1619._
+
+
+
+
+INTRODUCTION.
+
+
+The documents herewith presented are printed from copies obtained from
+the Public Record Office of Great Britain. When the question of the
+boundary line between Maryland and Virginia was before the Legislature
+of the latter State, in 1860, Colonel Angus W. McDonald was sent to
+England to obtain the papers necessary to protect the interests of
+Virginia. He brought back "nine volumes of manuscripts and one book
+containing forty-eight maps" (see his report, Virginia Legislative
+Documents, No. 39, 1861,). The volumes of manuscripts contained, upon an
+average, 425 pages each, and were filled with valuable historical
+documents, of many of which no copies had ever been seen on this
+continent since the originals were sent from the Colony of Virginia. In
+a conversation with the writer, held soon after his return from England,
+in March, 1861, Colonel McDonald stated that having obtained copies of
+all the documents relating to the question of the boundary line which
+could be found, and having more money left of the appropriation made
+than was needed to pay the expenses of his return home, he decided to
+devote the surplus to obtaining copies of papers relating to the early
+history of the State, without reference to the question of the boundary
+line. This statement will, we presume, satisfactorily account for the
+presence in his collection of such papers as do not relate to the
+subject upon which he was engaged. That he was well qualified to select
+such papers is evident from an examination of the list which he made
+out.
+
+During the occupation of the State capital building by the Federal
+troops and officials, after the surrender of the Confederate authorities
+in April, 1865, a very large quantity of the official documents filed in
+the archives of the State were removed from that building, and at the
+same time four of the nine volumes and the portfolio of maps above
+mentioned. Nothing has been heard from any of them since. In 1870, the
+question of the boundary line being again before the Legislature of
+Virginia, the Governor sent the Hon. D.C. De Jarnette upon the same
+errand that Colonel McDonald had so well performed, and the result was
+the obtaining of such papers as he could find relating to the subject
+under consideration, including duplicates of some of those which though
+useful in this connection, are included in the five volumes remaining of
+those collected by Col. McDonald; also, charters of great length, but
+which are to be found in print in the histories and statutes of the
+State, and many of the miscellaneous papers which Colonel McDonald had
+copied under the circumstances above named. Among the latter is the
+account of the first meeting of the Assembly at Jamestown in 1619. When
+Colonel McDonald visited the State Paper Office (as it was then called)
+in 1860, this great repository of historical materials had not been
+thrown open to the public, and he tells us in his report that it was
+"twenty days after his arrival in London before he could obtain
+permission to examine the archives of the State Paper Office." A year or
+two afterwards all of the restrictions which had existed were removed,
+the papers arranged chronologically, and an index made by which they
+could be referred to. Farther, W. Noel Sainsbury, Esq., one of the
+officers of what is now called the Public Record Office, had published a
+calendar of all the papers relating to the British colonies in North
+America and the West Indies, from the first discoveries to 1660 (soon be
+followed by another coming down to the period of the independence of the
+United States), which contains a brief abstract of every paper included
+in the above named period, so that enquirers upon subjects embraced in
+this calendar can by reference see what the office has on file relating
+to it, and obtain copies of the documents required, at a much less cost
+than a voyage to England. Acting upon this knowledge, the Library
+Committee of the Virginia Legislature has made a contract with Mr.
+Sainsbury for copies of the titles and copious abstracts of every paper
+in the Public Record Office, and other repositories, which relates to
+the history of Virginia while a Colony. All of which he proposes to
+furnish for about �250, being less than one-half the cost of either of
+the missions sent, which have obtained only a small fraction of the
+papers which we are to receive. He is performing his work in a most
+satisfactory manner; so much is he interested in the task that he has
+greatly exceeded his agreement by furnishing gratuitously full and
+complete copies of many documents of more than ordinary interest. Yet
+notwithstanding the known facilities afforded by the British Government
+and its officials, Mr. De Jarnette complains that he was refused
+permission to examine the Rolls Office and the State Paper Office (see
+his report, Senate Documents Session 1871-'2, p. 12); and further, on
+page 15, he informs us that the papers which he obtained "had to be dug
+from a mountain of Colonial records with care and labor." His troubles
+were further increased by the fact that "the Colonial papers are not
+arranged under heads of respective Colonies, but thrown promiscuously
+together and constitute an immense mass of ill kept and badly written
+records," ib. p. 22.
+
+The reader will infer from the preceding remarks that the State has two
+complete copies of the record of the proceedings of the first Assembly
+which met at Jamestown, viz: the McDonald and the De Jarnette copies,
+and also an abstract furnished by Mr. Sainsbury. Bancroft, the
+historian, obtained a copy of this paper, which was printed in the
+collections of the New York Historical Society for 1857. We have
+therefore been enabled to compare three different versions, and in a
+measure, a fourth. The De Jarnette copy being in loose sheets, written
+on one side only, was selected as the most convenient for the printer,
+and the text is printed from it. Where this differs from either of the
+others the foot notes show the differences, and, when no reference is
+made it is because all of them correspond.
+
+When these papers were submitted as a part of the report of the
+Commissioners on the Boundary Line a joint resolution was adopted by
+both houses of the Legislature authorizing the Committee on the Library
+to print such of the papers as might be selected, provided the consent
+of the Commission could be obtained. Application was made to allow the
+first and second papers in this pamphlet to be printed but it was
+refused. The Commission having been dissolved the Committee on the
+Library have assumed the responsibility and herewith submit this
+instalment of these interesting documents, which were written before the
+Colony of Maryland was known, and all of which, save the first, were
+never before printed.
+
+The Report of the proceedings of the first Assembly is prefaced with the
+introductory note published with Mr. Bancroft's copy, to which a few
+notes explanatory have been added.
+
+Trusting that this instalment of these historical records of the Ancient
+Dominion will be acceptable to the students of our early history, and
+sufficiently impress the members of the Legislature with their value to
+move them to make an appropriation sufficient to print all that has been
+obtained, this is
+
+Respectfully submitted,
+by your obedient servants,

+
+_INTRODUCTORY NOTE._
+
+
+Virginia, for twelve years after its settlement, languished under the
+government of Sir Thomas Smith, Treasurer of the Virginia Company in
+England. The Colony was ruled during that period by laws written in
+blood; and its history shows how the narrow selfishness of despotic
+power could counteract the best efforts of benevolence. The colonists
+suffered an extremity of distress too horrible to be described.
+In April, 1619, Sir George Yeardley arrived. Of the emigrants who had
+been sent over at great cost, not one in twenty then remained alive. "In
+James Citty were only those houses that Sir Thomas Gates built in the
+tyme of his government, with one wherein the Governor allwayes dwelt,
+and a church, built wholly at the charge of the inhabitants of that
+citye, of timber, being fifty foote in length and twenty foot in
+breadth." At Henrico, now Richmond, there were no more than "three old
+houses, a poor ruinated Church, with some few poore buildings in the
+Islande."[1] "For ministers to instruct the people, he founde only three
+authorized, two others who never received their orders." "The natives he
+founde uppon doubtfull termes;" so that when the twelve years of Sir
+Thomas Smith's government expired, Virginia, according to the
+"judgements" of those who were then members of the Colony, was "in a
+poore estate."[A]
+
+From the moment of Yeardley's arrival dates the real life of Virginia.
+He brought with him "Commissions and instructions from the Company for
+the better establishinge of a Commonwealth heere."[B] He made
+proclamation, "that those cruell lawes by which we" (I use the words of
+the Ancient Planters themselves) "had soe longe been governed, were now
+abrogated, and that we were to be governed by those free lawes which his
+Majesties subjectes live under in Englande." Nor were these
+considerations made dependent on the good will of administrative
+officers.
+
+"And that they might have a hande in the governinge of themselves," such
+are the words of the Planters, "yt was graunted that a generall
+Assemblie shoulde be helde yearly once, whereat were to be present the
+Gov^r and Counsell w^{th} two Burgesses from each Plantation, freely to
+be elected by the Inhabitants thereof, this Assemblie to have power to
+make and ordaine whatsoever lawes and orders should by them be thought
+good and proffitable for our subsistance."[C]
+
+In conformity with these instructions, Sir George Yeardley "sente his
+summons all over the country, as well to invite those of the Counsell of
+Estate that were absente, as also for the election of Burgesses;"[D] and
+on Friday, the 30th day of July, 1619, the first elective legislative
+body of this continent assembled at James City.
+
+In the relation of Master John Rolfe, inserted by Captain John Smith in
+his History of Virginia,[E] there is this meagre notice of the Assembly:
+"The 25 of June came in the _Triall_ with Corne and Cattell in all
+safety, which tooke from vs cleerely all feare of famine; then our
+gouernor and councell caused Burgesses to be chosen in all places and
+met at a generall Assembly, where all matters were debated thought
+expedient for the good of the Colony."
+This account did not attract the attention of Beverley, the early
+historian of Virginia, who denies that there was any Assembly held there
+before May, 1620.[F]
+
+The careful Stith, whose work is not to be corrected without a hearty
+recognition of his superior diligence and exemplary fidelity, gives an
+account[G] of this first legislative body, though he errs a little in
+the date by an inference from Rolfe's narrative, which the words do not
+warrant.
+
+The prosperity of Virginia begins with the day when it received, as "a
+commonwealth," the freedom to make laws for itself. In a solemn address
+to King James, which was made during the government of Sir Francis
+Wyatt, and bears the signature of the Governor, Council, and apparently
+every member of the Assembly, a contrast is drawn between the former
+"miserable bondage," and "this just and gentle authoritye which hath
+cherished us of late by more worthy magistrates. And we, our wives and
+poor children shall ever pray to God, as our bounden duty is, to give
+you in this worlde all increase of happines, and to crowne you in the
+worlde to come w^{th} immortall glorye."[H]
+
+A desire has long existed to recover the record of the proceedings of
+the Assembly which inaugurated so happy a revolution. Stith was unable
+to find it; no traces of it were met by Jefferson; and Hening,[I] and
+those who followed Hening, believed it no longer extant. Indeed, it was
+given up as hopelessly lost.
+
+Having, during a long period of years, instituted a very thorough
+research among the papers relating to America in the British State Paper
+Office, partly in person and partly with the assistance of able and
+intelligent men employed in that Department, I have at last been so
+fortunate as to obtain the "Proceedings of the First Assembly of
+Virginia."[5] the document is in the form of "a reporte" from the
+Speaker; and is more fall and circumstantial than any subsequent
+journal of early legislation in the Ancient Dominion.
+
+Many things are noticeable. The Governor and Council sat with the
+Burgesses; and took part in motions and debates. The Secretary of the
+Colony was chosen Speaker, and I am not sure that he was a Burgess.[6]
+This first American Assembly set the precedent of beginning legislation
+with prayer. It is evident that Virginia was then as thoroughly a Church
+of England colony, as Connecticut afterwards was a Calvinistic one. The
+inauguration of legislative power in the Ancient Dominion preceded the
+existence of negro slavery, which we will believe it is destined also to
+survive. The earliest Assembly in the oldest of the original thirteen
+States, at its first session, took measures "towards the erecting of" a
+"University and Colledge." Care was also taken for the education of
+Indian children. Extravagance in dress was not prohibited, but the
+ministers were to profit by a tax on excess in apparel. On the whole,
+the record of these Proceedings will justify the opinion of Sir Edward
+Sandys, that "they were very well and judiciously carried." The
+different functions of government may have been confounded and the laws
+were not framed according to any speculative theory; but a perpetual
+interest attaches to the first elective body representing the people of
+Virginia, more than a year before the Mayflower, with the Pilgrims, left
+the harbor of Southampton, and while Virginia was still the oldest
+British Colony on the whole Continent of America.

+1623-'4 as "the earliest now extant."
+
+[3] "These Burgesses met the Governor and Council at Jamestown in 1620,
+and sat in consultation in the same house with them as the method of the
+Scots Parliament is." "This was the first Generall Assembly that ever
+was held there."--Beverley.--ED.
+
+[4] "And about the latter end of June (1619) he (Sir George Yeardley,
+Governor,) called the first General Assembly that was ever held in
+Virginia. Counties were not yet laid of, but they elected their
+representatives by townships. So that the Burroughs of Jamestown,
+Henrico, Bermuda Hundred, and the rest, each sent their members to the
+Assembly." * * * * "and hence it is that our lower house of Assembly was
+first called the House of Burgesses," Stith, p. 160. "In May, this year
+(1620), there was held another Generall Assembly, which has, through
+mistake, and the indolence and negligence of our historians in searching
+such ancient records as are still extant in the country, been commonly
+reported the first General Assembly," Ib. p. 182. We do not see that
+Stith "errs" even "a little in the data." Rolfe says, "The 25 of June
+came in the _Triall_ with Corne and Cattell in all safety, which took
+from us cleerely all feare of famine, then our gouernor and councell
+caused Burgesses to be chosen in all places, and met at a general
+Assembly," Smith, p. 128. Stith says, "And about the latter end of June
+he called," &c., Stith, p. 160. Neither intimate _when_ the Assembly
+_met_, only that the governor called them to the latter part of
+June.--ED.
+
+[5] The first published notice of the existence of this paper occurred
+in the proceedings of the annual meeting of the Virginia Historical
+society, held December 15, 1853. In the report of the Executive
+Committee the chairman, Conway Robinson, Esq., states that he had seen
+the original report in the State Paper Office in London, on a recent
+visit to that city.--See Virginia Historical Reporter, Vol. I., 1854.
+Whatever question there may be in regard to priority of discovery, it is
+to be regretted that it was left to the Historical Society of another
+State to publish a document of so much value to the one to which it
+solely relates.--ED.
+
+[6] The Secretary of the Colony and Speaker of the first Assembly was
+John Pory. If he had been one of the Burgesses his name would have
+appeared with the others. Through the influence of the Earl at Warwick
+he was made Secretary to the Virginia Company. Campbell says, "He was
+educated at Cambridge, where he took the Master of Arts in April, 1610.
+It is supposed he was a member of the House of Commons. He was much of a
+traveller, and was at Venice in 1613, at Amsterdam in 1617, and shortly
+after at Paris." "Sir George Yeardley appointed him one of his
+Council."--Campbell, p. 139. The record shows that he acted as the
+presiding officer of the first Assembly, whether _ex officio_ or by
+selection is not stated. It will be seen that a typographical error in
+Bancroft's pamphlet makes his name Povy. In Smith's General Historie
+there is a paper styled "The observations of Master John Pory,
+Secretarie of Virginia, in his travels;" it gives an account of his
+voyage to the eastern shore.--Smith, p. 141. Neill says of him, "John
+Pory was a graduate of Cambridge, a great traveller and good writer, but
+gained the reputation of being a chronic tipler and literary vagabond
+and sponger." When young he excited the interest of Hakluyt, who, in a
+dedication to the third volume of his, remarks: "Now, because long since
+I did foresee that my profession of Divinitie, the care of my family;
+and other occasions, might call or divert me from these kind of
+endeavour, I, therefore have, for these three years last past,
+encouraged and gathered in these studies of Cosmographia and former
+histories my honest, industrious and learned friend, Mr. John Porey, one
+of speciall skill and extraordinary hope, to perform great matters in
+the same, and beneficial to the Commonwealth." "Pory, in 1600, prepared
+a _Geographical History of Africa_, but he soon disappointed the
+expectations of his friends."
+
+A letter from London, dated July 26, 1623, says: "Our old acquaintance,
+Mr. Porey, is in poore case, and in prison at the Terceras, whither he
+was driven by contrary winds, from the north coast of Virginia, where he
+had been upon some discovery, and upon his arrival he was arraigned and
+in danger of being hanged for a pirate." "He died about 1635." For
+further particulars from contemporary authorities, see Neill's History
+of the Virginia Company of London. Albany, Munsell, 1869.--ED.

+The most convenient place we could finde to sitt in was the Quire of the
+Churche Where Sir George Yeardley, the Governour, being sett downe in
+his accustomed place, those of the Counsel of Estate sate nexte him on
+both handes, excepte onely the Secretary then appointed Speaker, who
+sate right before him, John Twine, clerke[12] of the General assembly,
+being placed nexte the Speaker, and Thomas Pierse, the Sergeant,
+standing at the barre, to be ready for any service the Assembly shoulde
+comaund[13] him. But forasmuche as men's affaires doe little prosper
+where God's service is neglected, all the Burgesses tooke their places
+in the Quire till a prayer was said by Mr. Bucke, the Minister, that it
+would please God to guide and sanctifie all our proceedings[14] to his
+owne glory and the good of this Plantation. Prayer being ended, to the
+intente that as we[15] had begun at God Almighty, so we[16] might
+proceed w^{th} awful and due respecte towards the Lieutenant, our most
+gratious and dread Soveraigne, all the Burgesses were intreatted to
+retyre themselves into the body of the Churche, w^{ch} being done,
+before they were fully admitted, they were called in order and by name,
+and so every man (none staggering at it) tooke the oathe of Supremacy,
+and then entred[17] the Assembly. At Captaine Warde the Speaker tooke
+exception, as at one that without any Comission or authority had seatted
+himselfe either upon the Companies, and then his Plantation would not be
+lawfull, or on Captain Martin's lande, and so[18] he was but a limbe or
+member of him, and there could be but two Burgesses for all. So Captaine
+Warde was comanded to absente himselfe till such time as the Assembly
+had agreed what was fitt for him to doe. After muche debate, they
+resolved on this order following:
+
+[7] Boyes, McDonald.
+[8] Guiste, Bancroft.
+
+[9] Gourgainy, McDonald and Bancroft.
+
+[10] Ensign, Bancroft.
+
+[11] Ensign, Bancroft.
+
+[12] Clerk, McDonald.
+
+[13] Comand, McDonald.
+
+[14] Proceedinges, Bancroft.
+
+[15] wee, McDonald.
+
+[16] wee, McDonald.
+
+[17] entered, McDonald.
+
+[18] soe, McDonald.
+
+     An order concluded by the General assembly concerning Captaine
+     Warde, July 30^{th},[19] 1619, at the opening of the said
+     Assembly.
+
+At the reading of the names of the Burgesses, Exception was taken
+against Captaine Warde as having planted here in Virginia without any
+authority or comission from the Tresurer, Counsell and Company in
+Englande. But considering he had bene at so great chardge and paines to
+augmente this Colony, and had adventured his owne person in the action,
+and since that time had brought home a good[20] quantity of fishe, to
+relieve the Colony by waye of trade, and above all, because the
+Comission for authorising the General Assembly admitteth of two
+Burgesses out of every plantation w^{th}out restrainte or exception.
+Upon all these considerations, the Assembly was contented to admitt of
+him and his Lieutenant (as members of their body and Burgesses) into
+their society. Provided, that the said Captaine Warde, w^{th} all
+expedition, that is to saye between this and the nexte general assembly
+(all lawful impediments excepted), should procure from the Tresurer,[21]
+Counsell and Company in England a comission lawfully to establish[22]
+and plant himselfe and his Company as the Chieffs[23] of other
+Plantations have done. And in case he doe neglect this he is to stande
+to the censure of the nexte generall assembly. To this Captaine Warde,
+in the presence of us all, having given his consente and undertaken to
+performe the same, was, together w^{th} his Lieutenant, by voices of the
+whole Assembly first admitted to take the oath of Supremacy, and then to
+make up their number and to sitt amongst them.
+
+[19] 30, Bancroft.
+
+[20] goode, McDonald.
+
+[21] Treasurer, McDonald.
+
+[22] establishe, McDonald, Bancroft.
+
+[23] Chiefes, McDonald.
+
+This being done, the Governour himselfe alledged that before we
+proceeded any further it behooved us to examine whither it were fitt,
+that Captaine Martin's Burgesses shoulde[24] have any place in the
+Assembly, forasmuche as he hath a clause in his Patente w^{ch} doth not
+onely exempte him from that equality and uniformity of lawes and orders
+w^{er}[25] the great charter faith are to extende[26] over the whole
+Colony, but also from diverse such lawes as we must be enforced[27] to
+make in the General Assembly. That clause is as followeth: Item. That it
+shall and may be lawfull to and for the said Captain John Martin, his
+heyers, executours and assignes to governe and comaunde all suche[28]
+person or persons as at this time he shall carry over with him, or that
+shalbe[29] sente him hereafter, free from any comaunde of the Colony,
+excepte it be in ayding and assisting the same against[30] any forren or
+domestical enemy.
+
+[24] should, Bancroft.
+
+[25] W^{ch}, McDonald and Bancroft.
+
+[26] extend, Bancroft.
+
+[27] inforced, McDonald.
+
+[28] such, McDonald.
+
+[29] shall be, McDonald.
+
+[30] ag^{st}, McDonald.
+
+Upon the[31] motion of the Governour, discussed the same time in the
+assembly, ensued this order following:
+
+     An order of the General Assembly touching a clause in
+     Captain[32] Martin's Patent at James Citty, July 30, 1619.
+
+After all the Burgesses had taken the oath of Supremacy and were
+admitted into the house, and all sett downe in their places, a Copie of
+Captain[33] Martin's Patent[34] was produced by the Govern^{or}[35] out
+of a Clause whereof it appeared that when the general[36] assembly had
+made some kinde of lawes requisite for the whole Colony, he and his
+Burgesses and people might deride the whole company and chuse whether
+they would obay[37] the same or no.[M] It was therefore ordered in
+Courte that the foresaid two Burgesses should w^{th}drawe themselves out
+of the assembly till suche time as Captaine Martin had made his
+personall appearance before them. At what time, if upon their motion, if
+he would be contente to quitte and give over that parte of his Patente,
+and contrary therunto woulde submitte himselfe to the general forme of
+governemente as all others did, that then his Burgesses should be
+readmitted, otherwise they were utterly to be excluded as being spies
+rather than[43] loyal Burgesses, because they had offered themselves to
+be assistant at the making of[44] lawes w^{ch} both themselves and those
+whom they represented might chuse whether they would obaye[45] or not.
+
+[M] The following passage is a side note on the margin of the McDonald
+and De Jarnette copies, but Bancroft includes it in the text:--The
+authority of Captaine[38] Martin's Patent graunted by the Counsell &
+Company under their Comon[39] Seale, being of an higher condition[40]
+and of greatter[41] force then any Acte of the General[42] Assembly.
+
+[31] this, McDonald and Bancroft.

+[32] Captaine, McDonald.
+
+[33] Captaine, McDonald.

+[34] Patente, McDonald and Bancroft.
+

+
+[36] Generall, McDonald and Bancroft.

+[37] obey, McDonald; obaye, Bancroft.

+[39] Common, McDonald.

+
+[42] Generall.
+
+[43] then, McDonald.
+
+[44] of the, McD.
+
+[45] obeye, McDonald; obaye, Bancroft.
+
+Then came there in a complainte against Captain[46] Martin, that having
+sente his Shallop to trade for corne into the baye, under the commaunde
+of one Ensigne Harrison, the saide Ensigne should affirme to one Thomas
+Davis, of Paspaheighe,[47] Gent. (as the said Thomas Davis deposed upon
+oathe,) that they had made a harde voiage, had they not mett w^{th} a
+Canoa coming out of a creeke where their shallop could not goe. For the
+Indians refusing to sell their Corne, those of the shallop entered the
+Canoa w^{th} their armes and tooke it by force, measuring out the corne
+w^{th} a baskett they had into the Shallop and (as the said Ensigne
+Harrison saith) giving them satisfaction in copper beades[48] and other
+trucking stuffe.
+
+Hitherto Mr. Davys upon his oath.
+
+[46] Captaine, McDonald and Bancroft.
+
+[47] Paspaheighs, McDonald, Banc'ft.
+
+[48] beads, McDonald.
+
+Furthermore it was signified from Opochancano to the Governour that
+those people had complained to him to procure them justice.[49] For
+w^{ch} considerations and because suche[50] outrages as this might
+breede danger and loss[51] of life to others of the Colony w^{ch} should
+have leave to trade in the baye hereafter, and for prevention of the
+like violences against the Indians in time to come, this order following
+was agreed on by the general assembly:
+
+     A second order against Captain Martin, at James citty, July 30,
+     1619.
+
+It was also ordered by the Assembly the same daye that in case Captaine
+Martin and the ging of his shallop would[52] not throughly answere an
+accusation of an outrage comitted against a certaine Canoa of Indians in
+the baye, that then it was thought reason (his Patent,[53]
+notw^{th}standing the authority whereof, he had in that case abused) he
+shoulde[54] from henceforth take leave of the Governour[55] as other
+men, and should putt[56] in security, that his people shall comitte no
+such[57] outrage any more.
+
+[49] iustice, McDonald.
+
+[50] such, McDonald.
+
+[51] losse, McDonald.
+
+[52] could, McDonald, Bancroft.
+
+[53] Patente, McDonald and Bancroft.
+
+[54] should, Bancroft.
+
+[55] Governor, McDonald.
+
+[56] put, McDonald.
+
+[57] suche, McDonald and Bancroft.
+
+Upon this a letter or warrant was drawen in the name of the whole
+assembly to sumon Captaine Martin to appeare before them in forme
+following:
+
+     By the Governo^r[58] and general assembly of Virginia.
+
+     Captaine Martine, we are to request[59] you upon sight hereof,
+     with all convenient speed to repaire hither to James citty to
+     treatt and conferre w^{th} us about some matters of
+     especial[60] importance, w^{ch} concerns[61] both us and the
+     whole Colony and yourself. And of this we praye you not to
+     faile.
+
+     James citty, July 30, 1619.
+
+     To our very loving friend, Captain John Martin, Esquire, Master
+     of the ordinance.
+
+[58] Governour, Bancroft.
+
+[59] request, McDonald.
+
+[60] especiall, McDonald.
+
+[61] concerne, McDonald and Bancroft.
+
+These obstacles removed, the Speaker, who a long time had bene extreame
+sickly, and therefore not able to passe through long harangues,
+delivered in briefe to the whole assembly the occasions of their
+meeting. Which[62] done, he read unto them the comission for
+establishing the Counsell of Estate and the general[63] Assembly,
+wherein their duties were described to the life.
+
+Having thus prepared them, he read over unto them the greate Charter, or
+comission of priviledges, orders and lawes, sent by Sir George Yeardley
+out of Englande.[64] Which[65] for the more ease of the Committies,
+having divided into fower books, he read the former two the same
+forenoon for expeditious[66] sake, a second time over, and so they were
+referred to the perusall of twoe Comitties, w^{ch} did reciprocally
+consider of either, and accordingly brought in their opinions. But some
+man may here objecte to what ende we should presume to referre that to
+the examination of Comitties w^{ch} the Counsell and Company in
+England[67] had already resolved to be perfect, and did expecte
+nothing[68] but our assente thereunto?[69] To this we answere, that we
+did it not to the ende to correcte or controll anything therein
+contained, but onely in case we should finde ought not perfectly
+squaring w^{th} the state of this Colony or any lawe w^{ch} did presse
+or binde too harde, that we might by waye of humble petition, seeke to
+have it redressed, especially because this great Charter is to binde us
+and our heyers for ever.

+
+After dinner the Governo^r and those that were not of the Comitties[70]
+sate a seconde time, while the said Comitties[71] were employed in the
+perusall of those twoe bookes. And whereas the Speaker had propounded
+fower severall objects for the Assembly to confider on: namely, first,
+the great charter of orders, lawes and priviledges; Secondly, which of
+the instructions given by the Counsel in England to my lo: la:
+warre,[72] Captain Argall or Sir George Yeardley, might conveniently
+putt on the habite of lawes; Thirdly, what lawes might issue out of the
+private conceipte of any of the Burgesses, or any other of the Colony;
+and lastly, what petitions were[73] fitt to be sente home for England.
+It pleased the Governou^r[74] for expedition[75] sake to have the second
+objecte[76] of the fower to be examined & prepared by himselfe and the
+Non-Comitties. Wherin after having spente some three howers'[77]
+conference, the twoe Committies[78] brought in their opinions concerning
+the twoe former bookes, (the second of which beginneth at these wordes
+of the Charter: And forasmuche as our intente is to establish one equall
+and uniforme kinde of government over all Virginia &c.,)[79] w^{ch} the

+SATTURDAY, July 31.
+
+The nexte daye, therefore, out of the opinions of the said
+Comitties,[81] it was agreed, these[82] Petitions ensuing should be
+framed, to be presented to the Treasurer, Counsel & Company in England.
+Upon the Comitties'[83] perusall of the first booke,[84] the General[85]
+Assembly doe become most humble suitours to their lo^{ps} and to the
+rest of that hon^{ble} Counsell and renowned Company, that albeit they
+have bene pleased[86] to allotte unto the Governo^r[87] to themselves,
+together w^{th} the Counsell of Estate here, and[88] to the officers of
+Incorporations, certain lande[89] portions of lande to be layde out
+w^{th}in the limites of the same, yet that[90] they woulde vouchsafe
+also,[91] that[92] groundes as heretofore had bene granted by patent to
+the antient[93] Planters by former Governours that had from the Company
+received comission[94] so to doe, might not nowe after so muche labour
+and coste, and so many yeares habitation be taken from them. And to the
+ende that no man might doe or suffer any wrong in this kinde, that they
+woulde favour us so muche (if they meane to graunte this our petition)
+as to sende us notice, what comission or authority for graunting of
+landes they have given to eache[95] particular Governour in times paste.

+[81] Comittees, McDonald.

+[83] Comittees, McDonald.
+
+[84] book, McDonald.
+
+[85] Generall, McDonald.
+
+[86] pleas'd, McDonald.
+
+[87] Govern^r, McDonald; Gov^r, Bancroft.
+
+[88] &, McDonald.
+
+[89] large, McDonald.
+
+[90] Bancroft omits "that."

+
+[92] McDonald has such and Bancroft suche after that.
+
+[93] ancient, McDonald.
+
+[94] Comiss^n, Bancroft.
+
+[95] each, Bancroft.
+
+The second petition of the General assembly framed by the Comitties[96]
+out of the second book is. That the Treasurer[97] & Company in England
+would be pleased w^{th} as muche convenient speed[98] as may be to sende
+men hither to occupie their landes belonging to the fower
+Incorporations, as well for their owne[99] behoofe and proffitt as for
+the maintenance of the Counsel[100] of Estate, who are nowe[101] to
+their extream hindrance often drawen far from their private busines and
+likewise that they will have a care to sende[102] tenants to the
+ministers of the fower Incorporations to manure their gleab, to the
+intente that the allowance they have allotted them of 200 G.[103] a
+yeare may the more easily be raised.
+
+[96] Comittess, McDonald.
+
+[97] Tresurer, McDonald.
+
+[98] speede, McDonald.
+
+[99] own, Bancroft.
+
+[100] Counsell, McDonald and Bancroft.
+
+[101] now, McDonald.
+
+[102] send, McDonald.
+
+[103] �200, Bancroft.
+
+The thirde Petition humbly presented by this General Assembly to the
+Treasurer, Counsell & Company is, that it may plainely be expressed in
+the great Comission (as indeed it is not) that the antient Planters of
+both sortes, viz., suche as before Sir Thomas Dales' depart[104] were
+come hither upon their owne chardges,[105] and suche also as were
+brought hither upon the Companie's coste, maye have their second, third
+and more divisions successively in as lardge and free manner as any
+other Planters. Also that they wilbe pleased to allowe to the male
+children, of them and of all others begotten in Virginia, being the
+onely hope of a posterity, a single share a piece, and shares for their
+issues or[106] for themselves, because that in a newe plantation it is
+not knowen whether man or woman be the more necessary.
+
+[104] In the McDonaldcopy this was just written departure, then "ure"
+crossed out with a pen, and the word made department. Bancroft has
+departure.
+
+[105] Charges, McDonald.
+
+[106] McDonald and Bancroft both have "wives as," instead of "issues
+or," the former being evidently the proper words.
+
+Their fourth Petition is to beseech the Treasurer, Counsell & Company
+that they would be pleased to appoint a Sub-Tresurer[107] here to
+collecte their rents,[108] to the ende that[109] the Inhabitants of this
+Colony be not tyed to an impossibility of paying the same yearly to the
+Treasurer in England, and that they would enjoine the said Sub-Treasurer
+not precisely according to the letter of the Charter to exacte mony of
+us (whereof we have none at all, as we have no minte), but the true
+value of the rente in comodity.
+
+[107] Treasurer, McDonald.
+[108] rentes, McDonald, Bancroft.
+
+[109] McDonald and Bancroft both omit that.
+
+The fifte Petition is to beseeche the Treasurer, Counsell & Company
+that, towards the erecting of the University and Colledge, they will
+sende, when they shall thinke[110] it most convenient, workmen of all
+sortes, fitt for that purpose.
+
+[110] McDonald and Bancroft omit it.
+
+The sixte and laste is, they wilbe[111] pleased to change the savage
+name of Kiccowtan, and to give that Incorporation a newe name.
+
+[111] will be, McDonald.
+
+These are the general Petitions drawen by the Comitties out of the two
+former bookes w^{ch} the whole general assembly in maner and forme
+above[112] sett downe doe most humbly offer up and present[113] to the
+honourable construction of the Treasurer, Counsell and Company in
+England.
+
+[112] sette, Bancroft.
+
+[113] presente, McDonald and Bancroft.
+
+These petitions thus concluded on, those twoe Comitties broughte me[114]
+a reporte what they had observed in the two latter bookes, w^{ch} was
+nothing else but that the perfection of them was suche as that[115] they
+could finde nothing therein subject to exception, only the
+Governo^{rs}[116] particular opinion to my selfe in private hathe bene
+as touching a clause in the thirde booke, that in these doubtfull times
+between us and the Indians, it would beehoove[117] us not to make
+as[118] lardge distances between Plantation and Plantation as ten miles,
+but for our more strength ande security to drawe nearer together.
+
+[114] In, McDonald, Bancroft.
+
+[115] McDonald and Bancroft omit that.
+
+[116] Govn^{rs}, McDonald; Gov^{rs}, Bancroft.
+
+[117] Behoove, McDonald, Bancroft.
+
+[118] So, McDonald, Bancroft.
+
+At the same time, there remaining no[119] farther scruple in the mindes
+of the Assembly touching the said great Charter of lawes, orders and
+priviledges, the Speaker putt the same to the question, and so it had
+both the general assent and the applause of the whole assembly, who, as
+they professed themselves in the first place most submissively thankfull
+to almighty god, therefore so they commaunded the Speaker to returne (as
+nowe he doth) their due and humble thankes to the Treasurer, Counsell
+and company for so many priviledges and favours as well in their owne
+names as in the names of the whole Colony whom they represented.
+
+[119] Noe, McDonald.
+
+This being dispatched we fell once more[120] debating of suche
+instructions given by the Counsell in England to several[121]
+Governo^{rs}[122] as might be converted into lawes, the last whereof was
+the Establishment of the price of Tobacco, namely, of the best at
+3d[123] and the second at 18d the pounde. At the reading of this the
+Assembly thought good to send for Mr. Abraham Persey, the Cape marchant,
+to publishe this instruction to him, and to demaunde[124] of him if he
+knewe of any impediment why it might not be admitted of? His
+answere[125] was that he had not as yet received any suche order from
+the Adventurers of the[126] ---- in England. And notw^{th}standing he
+sawe the authority was good, yet was he unwilling to yield, till suche
+time as the Governo^r[127] and Assembly had layd their commandment upon
+him, out of the authority of the foresaid Instructions as followeth:
+
+By the General Assembly.
+
+We will and require you, Mr. Abraham Persey, Cape Marchant, from this
+daye forwarde to take notice, that, according to an article in the
+Instructions confirmed by the Treasurer, Counsell[128] and Company in
+Englande at a general quarter courte, both by[129] voices and under
+their hands[130] and the Comon seall,[131] and given to Sir George
+Yeardley, knight, this present governour, Decemb.[132] 3, 1618, that
+you are bounde to accepte of the Tobacco of the Colony, either for
+commodities or upon billes,[133] at three shillings the beste[134] and
+the second sorte at 18d the pounde, and this shalbe[135] your sufficient
+dischardge.
+
+James citty out of the said General Assembly, July 31,[136] 1619.
+
+[120] McDonald and Bancroft insert to.
+
+[121] Severall, McDonald.
+
+[122] Govern^{rs}, McDonald; Gov., Bancroft.
+[123] The text, which follows the De Jarnette copy, is evidently wrong.
+The McDonald copy is blotted and illegible. Bancroft has 3.s. and

+
+MUNDAY,[140] Aug. 2.
+
+Captain John Martin (according to the sumons sent him on Fryday,[141]
+July 30,) made his personall appearance at the barre, whenas the Speaker
+having first read unto him the orders of the Assembly that concerned
+him, he pleaded lardgely for himself[142] to them both and
+indevoured[143] to answere some other thinges[144] that were objected
+against[145] his Patente. In fine, being demanded out of the former
+order whether he would quitte that clause of his Patent[146] w^{ch}
+(quite otherwise then Sir William Throckmorton's, Captain Christopher
+Dawnes'[147] and other men's patentes) exempteth himselffe and his
+people from all services of the Colonie excepte onely in case of warre
+against[148] a forren or domesticall enemie. His answere[149] was
+negative, that he would not infringe any parte[150] of his Patente.
+Whereupon it was resolved by the Assembly that his Burgesses should have
+no admittance.
+
+[140] Monday, McDonald and Bancroft.
+
+[141] Friday, McDonald.

+
+[148] ag^{st}, McDonald.
+
+[149] answer, Bancroft.
+
+[150] part, McDonald and Bancroft.
+
+To the second order his answere was affirmative, namely, that (his
+Patent[151] notwithstanding) whensoever he should send into the baye to
+trade, he would[152] be contente to putt in security to the
+Governour[153] for the good behaviour of his people towardes[154] the
+Indians.
+
+[151] patente, McDonald.
+[152] woulde, McDonald.
+
+[153] Gov^r, Bancroft.
+
+[154] towards, Bancroft.
+
+It was at the same time further ordered by the Assembly that the
+Speaker, in their names, should (as he nowe doth[155]) humbly
+demaunde[156] of the Treasurer, Counsell[157] and Company an exposition
+of this one clause in Captaine[158] Martin's Patente, namely, where it
+is saide That he is to enjoye[159] his landes in as lardge[160] and
+ample manner, to all intentes and[161] purposes, as any lord of any
+manours in England dothe holde his grounde out of w^{ch} some have
+collected that he might by the same graunte protecte men from paying
+their debts and from diverse other dangers of lawe. The least the
+Assembly can alledge against this clause is, that it is obscure, and
+that it is a thing impossible for us here to knowe the Prerogatives of
+all the manours in Englande. The Assembly therefore humbly beseeche[162]
+their lo^{pps}[163] and the rest of that hon^{ble} house[164] that in
+case they shall finde any thing in this or in any other parte of his
+graunte wherby that clause towardes the conclusion of the great charter,
+(viz., that all grauntes aswell of the one sorte as of the other
+respectively, be made w^{th} equall favour, & graunts[165] of like
+liberties & imunities[166] as neer as may be, to the ende that all
+complainte[167] of partiality and indifferency[168] may be avoided,)
+might[169] in any sorte be contradicted or the uniformity and
+equality[170] of lawes and[171] orders extending over the whole Colony
+might be impeached, That they would be pleased to remove any such
+hindrance as may diverte out of the true course the free and[172]
+publique current of Justice.

+general[176] assembly that if in that other clause w^{ch} exempteth
+Captaine[177] Martin and his people from all services of the Colony &c.,
+they shall finde any resistance against[178] that equality and[179]

+him for his personal[182] adventure and[183] for his adventure of �70
+besides, doth claim 500 acres a share, that the Treasurer, Counsell and
+Company woulde vouchsafe to give notice to the Governour[184] here, what

+Captaine William Powell presented a Petition to the generall[302]
+Assembly against[303] one Thomas Garnett, a servant of his, not onely
+for extreame neglect of his business to the great loss[304] and
+prejudice of the said Captaine, and for openly and impudently abusing
+his house, in sight both of Master and Mistresse, through wantonnes[305]
+w^{th} a woman servant of theirs, a widdowe, but also for falsely
+accusing him to the Governo^r[306] both of Drunkenes &[307] Thefte, and
+besides for bringing all[308] his fellow servants to testifie[309] on
+his side, wherein they justly failled[310] him. It was thought fitt by
+the general assembly (the Governour himselfe[311] giving sentence), that
+he should stand[312] fower dayes with his eares nayled to the Pillory,
+viz: Wednesday, Aug. 4^{th}, and so likewise Thursday, fryday and
+Satturday[313] next following, and every of those fower dayes should be
+publiquely whipped. Now, as touching the neglecte of his worke, what
+satisfaction ought to be made to his M^r for that is referred to the
+Governour and Counsell of Estate.

+unseemly[317] and amisse of certaine thinges[318] wherein he was never
+faulty, and besides, casteth some aspersion upon the present government,
+w^{ch} is the most temperate and juste[319] that ever was in this
+country, too milde, indeed, for many of[320] this Colony, whom
+unwoonted[321] liberty hath made insolente and not to knowe[322]

+
+All these lawes being thus concluded and consented to as aforesaide[413]
+Captaine Henry Spellman[414] was called to the barre to answere to
+certaine misdemeano^{rs} layde to his chardge by Robert Poole,
+interpretour, upon his oath (whose examination the Governo^r sente into
+England in the Prosperus), of w^{ch} accusations of Poole some he
+acknowledged for true, but the greattest[415] part he denyed. Whereupon
+the General[416] Assembly, having throughly heard and considered his
+speaches, did constitute this order following against him:
+
+AUG. 4^{th}, 1619.
+
+This day Captaine Henry Spelman[417] was convented before the General
+Assembly and was examined by a relation upon oath of one Robert Poole,
+Interpreter, what conference had passed between the said Spelman[418]
+and Opochancano at Poole's meeting with him in Opochancano's courte.
+Poole chardgeth him he spake very unreverently and maliciously
+against[419] this present Govern^r,[420] wherby the honour and dignity
+of his place and person, and so of the whole Colonie, might be brought
+into contempte, by w^{ch} meanes what mischiefs might ensue from the
+Indians by disturbance of the peace or otherwise, may easily be
+conjectured. Some thinges of this relation Spelman confessed, but the
+most parte he denyed, excepte onely one matter of importance, & that was
+that he hade informed Opochancano that w^{th}in a yeare there would come
+a Governo^r[421] greatter then[422] this that nowe is in place. By
+w^{ch} and by other reportes it seemeth he hath alienated the minde of
+Opochancano from this present Governour, and brought him in much
+disesteem, both w^{th} Opochancano[423] and the Indians, and the whole
+Colony in danger of their slippery designes.

+
+The general assembly upon Poole's testimony onely not willing to putt
+Spelman to the rigour and extremity of the lawe, w^{ch} might, perhaps
+both speedily and deservedly, have taken his life from him (upon the
+witness[424] of one whom he muche excepted against) were pleased, for
+the present, to censure him rather out of that his confession above
+written then[425] out of any other prooffe. Several and sharpe
+punishments were pronounced against[426] him by diverse of the Assembly,
+But in fine the whole course[427] by voices united did encline to the
+most favourable, w^{ch} was that for this misdemeanour[428] he should
+first be degraded of his title of Captaine,[429] at the head of the
+troupe, and should be condemned to performe seven yeares service to the
+Colony in the nature of Interpreter to the Governour.

+
+This sentence being read to Spelman he, as one that had in him more of
+the Savage then of the Christian, muttered certaine wordes to himselfe
+neither shewing any remorse for his offences, nor yet any thankfulness
+to the Assembly for theire sofavourable censure, w^{ch} he at one time
+or another (God's grace not wholly abandoning him) might w^{th} some one
+service have been able to have redeemed.[O]

+
+This day also did the Inhabitants of Paspaheigh, alias Argall's towne,
+present a petition to the general assembly to give them an absolute
+dischardge from certaine bondes wherin they stand bound to Captain
+Samuell Argall for the paym^t of 600^G,[430] and to Captain William
+Powell, at Captaine Argall's appointment, for the paym^t of 50^G[431]
+more. To Captaine Argall for 15 skore acres of wooddy ground, called by
+the name of Argal's[432] towne or Paspaheigh; to Captaine Powell in
+respect of his paines in clearing the grounde and building the houses,
+for w^{ch} Captaine[433] Argal ought to have given him satisfaction.
+Nowe,[434] the general assembly being doubtful whether they have any
+power and authority to dischardge the said bondes, doe by these
+presents[435] (at the Instance of the said Inhabitants[436] of
+Paspaheighs, alias Martin's hundred people) become most humble sutours
+to the Tresurer, Counsell and Company in England that they wilbe[437]
+pleased to gett the said bondes for 600^G[438] to be cancelled;
+forasmuche as in their great comission they have expressly and by name
+appointed that place of Paspaheigh for parte of the Governo^r's[439]
+lande. And wheras Captain[440] William Powell is payde[441] his 50^G
+w^{ch} Captaine[442] Argall enjoined the saide Inhabitantes to presente
+him with, as parte[443] of the bargaine, the general assembly, at their
+intreaty, do become sutours on their behalfe, that Captaine Argall, by
+the Counsell & Company in England, may be compelled either to restore
+the said 50^G[444] from thence, or else that restitution therof be made
+here out of the goods of the said Captaine Argall.

+AUG. 4^{th}, 1619.
+
+It is fully agreed at this generall[445] Assembly that in regarde of the
+great[446] paines and labour of the[447] Speaker of this Assembly (who
+not onely[448] first formed the same Assembly and to their great ease &
+expedition reduced all matters to be treatted of into a ready method,

+
+In conclusion, the whole Assembly comaunded[452] the Speaker (as nowe he
+doth) to present their humble excuse to the Treasurer[453] Counsell &
+Company in England for being constrained by the intemperature of the
+weather and the falling sick of diverse of the Burgesses to breake up so
+abruptly--before they had so much as putt their lawes to the ingrossing.
+This they wholly comited to[454] the fidelity of their speaker, who
+therin[455] (his conscience telles him) hath done the parte[456] of an
+honest man, otherwise he would be easily founde[457] out by the
+Burgesses themselves, who w^{th} all expedition are to have so many
+bookes of the same lawes as there be both Incorporations and Plantations
+in the Colony.

+[457] woulde easily be found, McDonald; would easily be founde,
+Bancroft.
+
+In the seconde place, the Assembly doth most humbly crave pardon that in
+so shorte[458] a space they could bring their matter to no[459] more
+perfection, being for the present enforced to sende home titles rather
+then lawes, Propositions rather then resolutions, Attemptes then
+Acchievements, hoping their courtesy will accepte our poore indevour,
+and their wisedome wilbe[460] ready to supporte the weaknes of this
+little flocke.
+
+[458] short, McDonald.
+
+[459] no, omitted by McDonald.

+
+Thirdly, the General Assembly doth humbly beseech[461] the said
+Treasurer,[462] Counsell & Company, that albeit it belongeth to them
+onely to allowe or to abrogate any lawes w^{ch} we shall here make,[463]
+and that it is their right so to doe,[464] yet that it would please them
+not to take it in ill parte if these lawes w^{ch} we have nowe brought
+to light, do passe currant[465] & be of force till suche time as we[466]
+may knowe their farther pleasure out of Englande: for otherwise this
+people (who nowe at length have gotte[467] the raines[468] of former
+servitude into their owne swindge) would in shorte time growe so
+insolent, as they would shake off all government, and there would be no
+living among them.

+for establishing the Counsel[472] of Estate & the General[473] Assembly,
+namely, that they will give us power to allowe or disallowe of their

+_EDITORS' NOTE._
+
+
+The paper from which this document is printed is to be found in the
+first volume of the McDonald papers. It is such a census of the
+inhabitants of the colony as the historical student would like to see
+made out at several other periods of our colonial history. We can find
+no legal enactment requiring such a census to be taken, and no order to
+that effect, save in the Instructions to Governor Wyatt, dated 24th
+July, 1621, where, among other things, he is directed "To make a
+catalogue of the people in every plantation, and their conditions; and
+of deaths, marriages and christenings."--Hening, Vol. I., p. 115.
+
+The entries are as brief as possible, no middle names are given, and
+foreigners are entered according to nationality, or not more than one
+name allowed them. Not the least curious is the small number of negroes.
+Rolfe states, "About the last of August (1619) came in a Dutch man of
+warre that sold us twenty Negors" (Smith, p. 126), and nearly five years
+after, when this census was taken, there were but twenty-two in the
+Colony.

+that ten thousand acres of land should be laid off for the University at
+Henrico, a place formerly resolved on for that purpose. This was
+intended as well for the colledge for the education of the Indians as
+also to lay the foundation of a seminary of learning for the
+English."--Stith, London ed., p. 163.
+
+"On the northerly side of James river, from the falls down to Henrico,
+containing ten miles in length, are the public lands reserved and laid
+out, whereof ten thousand are for the University lands, three thousand
+are for the company's lands, with other lands belonging to the
+College."--MS. in the McDonald paper, entitled "Particulars of Land in
+Virginia," which was made out in 1625 or '6, the communication of the
+Governor in which he informs their lordships that he sends it, being
+dated May 17, 1626. McDonald papers, Vol. I., pp. 295-307.
+
+At the first meeting of the Burgesses (1619) the College had no
+representative, but at the meeting held Oct. 16, 1629, the Burgesses
+"For the plantations at the Colledge were Leftn't Thomas Osborne and

+Northern Neck, between the Patowmeck and Rappahannock rivers.
+
+"The neck between Rappahannock and York rivers, within which Pamunkey
+Neck is included.
+
+"The neck between York and James rivers," &c., &c.--Beverly, Book IV.,
+chap. ii.
+
+This list being made up at James city this neck might be the one nearest
+to that place, and therefore the last one named by Beverly would be the
+one referred to; but inasmuch as in this MS. list it follows immediately
+after the College land, and in the list of Burgesses for 1629, occupies
+the same position, it is not improbable that it refers to the peninsula
+opposite Henrico, known on all the maps of the State as Farrar's island,
+and which has been made an island in reality by the completion of the
+canal begun by the United States army during the late civil war and
+afterwards finished by the engineer department of the same, under the
+direction of Col. W.P. Craighill. Hening reports Serit Sharpe a Burgess
+for this place in 1629, and Serjeant William Sharp is named in the text

+[S] _West & Sherlow Hundred._--Sir Thomas Dale annexed to New Bermuda
+"many miles of champion and wood land ground in several hundreds, by the
+names of Nether Hundred, Shirley Hundred," &c.--Stith, p. 124-'5; Smith,
+General Historie, 1627, p. 111. Hening names Burgesses (1629) from
+Shirley Hundred island and Shirley Hundred maine, and among the latter
+is the name of John Harris, which appears in the text.--Heming Vol. I.,
+p. 138.
+
+The name of Shirley appears on the Fry and Jefferson map only at the
+place where the same is now located, opposite Bermuda Hundred, and well
+known as the residence of Hill Carter, Esq. A short distance below is an
+island not named on that map, but on modern maps as Eppes island, which
+we may presume was Shirley island. We do not find the name of West in
+the connection except in a paper entitled John Rolfe's relation to the
+State of Virginia, written in 1616, in which we learn that West and
+Shirley Hundred was about thirty-seven miles above James citie, which
+corresponds with the location above named. See Virginia Historical

+the ground cultivated. During the war the soil was thrown up into
+fortifications, and pieces of armor, sword hilts, calthorps, gold,
+silver and copper coins were found. All that remains of the city is a
+portion of the brick tower which belonged to the church, and which
+attracts the attention of travellers on the river with an interest
+similar to that of Mount Vernon on the Potomac. Though visited by very
+few persons, yet the relic-hunters have removed all of the tombstones,
+and have attacked what remains of the church tower.

+Burgesses (after James Citty) for the other side of the water, Capt.
+John West, Capt ffelgate; as John West's name appears in the text under
+this head, we presume the places are identical and refer to probably
+some place on the opposite side of the James river not more definitely
+designated.

+  Mrs. Bernardo.
+
+[Y] _The Glass House._--We find frequent references to but no notice of
+the erection of this building. Smith, in his account of the attempt to
+murder him by the Dutchmen in 1608, says, "They sent Francis, their
+companion, disguised like a Salvage, to the Glasse-house, a place in the
+woods neare a myle from Iames Toune," &c., Smith attempted to apprehend
+him, but he escaped, and after he had sent "20 shot after him; himself
+returning from the Glasse House alone," when he encountered the king of
+the Paspa heigh whom he defeated and "led him prisoner to Iames Toune
+and put him in chaynes." Smith (1627) pp. 83, 84.
+
+Stith says after the return of Newport from his expedition of discovery
+up James river "No sooner were they landed but the President (Smith)
+dispersed as many as were able, some to make Glass and others for
+Pitch," &c.; and in 1609, "And now the Colony pursued their business
+with alacrity and success. They made three or four lasts of Tar, Pitch,
+and Soap ashes and produced a trial of glass," &c., &c. And in 1621,
+speaking of the subscriptions opened in England, he says, "The third
+roll was for a glass furnace to make beads, which was the current coin
+in the Indian trade; and one Captaine Norton, with some Italian workmen,
+was sent over for that purpose." See also Stith, pp. 95, 97, 197, 198.
+As the names of Vincentio and Benardo appear in the text, we may infer
+that some of the Italian workmen survived the massacre of 1622.

+stream called Skies creek, on the north side of James river. In the
+proceedings of the Assembly in 1619 it is referred to as Paspaheigh's,
+alias Martin's Hundred, see ante p. 30. In the "Particulars of Land in
+Virginia," before mentioned, we read, "Martin's Hundred, containing
+80,000 acres, part planted." Captaine Martin was made president by Capt.
+John Smith in 1609, but he did not desire the position and resigned. At
+the Assembly in 1619, he and the privileges named in his patent, and
+certain charges against him of unfair dealing with the Indians occupied
+no little attention.--See ante, pp. 12 and 13. For further particulars
+in regard to his attempts at imposition on the Company and like charges,
+the reader is referred to Stith, pp. 219, 220, 221.

+on the south side of James river, and about fifteen or twenty miles
+below Jamestown, and is spelt Waraskorack, and on page 59 he spells it
+Waraskoyack; Fry and Jefferson locate it on Burwell's bay, and call it
+Warnicqueack. Stith calls it Warrasqueake, and gives an interesting
+account of "the King of that town," and his hospitable treatment of
+Capt. Smith on the night of the 29th of December, 1608: p. 85. In the
+"Particulars of Land," McDonald MS. above referred to, it is spelt as
+shown in the following extract: "Warosquoiacke Plantation conteyning
+downewardes from Hogg island, 14 miles by the ryver side," &c., &c., p.
+313.
+
+Hening has it Warrosquoiack, Vol. I., p. 149. In 1634 "the country

+_EDITOR'S NOTE._
+
+
+The reader will perceive that the foregoing list of the dead reports
+only those who had died "since April last" (1622), consequently does not
+include the victims of the Indian massacre, which occurred on the 22d of
+March of that year. The number which fell by that diabolical conspiracy,
+as reported by Smith, amounted to 347, and in his Generall Historie, at
+page 149, he has a list of the numbers murdered at different places.
+Neill copies from the Records of the Virginia Company (now in the
+Congressional Library at Washington) a list of their names--see his
+"History of the Virginia Company," pp. 339-346--and considering that it
+is proper to annex this to the list preceding we herewith give it. The
+total corresponds with the statement in Smith's Historie.
+
+The number of deaths in the census list shows a mortality amounting in
+one year to upwards of twenty per cent. of the whole population,
+exceeding the number which fell in the massacre by twenty-four. The
+fullest details of this and many other matters relating to the Colony
+while under the Virginia Company, can be found more fully shown in
+Neill's History of the Virginia Company than in any other work we have
+seen.

+A BRIEFE DECLARATION
+OF THE
+PLANTATION OF VIRGINIA
+
+DURINGE THE FIRST TWELVE YEARES, WHEN
+SIR THOMAS SMITH WAS GOVERNOR OF
+THE COMPANIE, & DOWNE TO THIS
+PRESENT TYME.
+
+BY THE
+
+ANCIENT PLANTERS NOWE REMAINING ALIVE IN VIRGINIA.
+
+1624.
+
+
+
+
+PREFACE.
+
+
+The next paper presented in this collection is a copy of the one from
+which Mr. Bancroft quotes in his introductory note to the meeting of the
+first Assembly, referring to it as "MS. in my possession." This is
+printed from the copy among the McDonald papers, and with its title and
+endorsements no intimation is given as to the date of its preparation,
+its author or authors, to whom it was addressed, or the use intended to
+be made of it. These questions are, however, answered almost entirely by
+reference to the entries in "Sainsbury's Calendar of State Papers,"
+which, on pp. 65-'6, has the following: "1624. July. Petition of Gov.
+Sir Francis Wyatt, the Council and Assembly of Virginia to the King.
+Have understood that his Majesty, notwithstanding the unjust
+disparagement of the Plantation, has taken it under his especial care;
+intreat that credit may not be given to the late declarations presented
+to his Majesty concerning the happy, but indeed miserable, estate of the
+Colony during the first twelve years (of Sir Thos. Smith's government),
+nor to the malicious imputations which have been laid upon the late
+government. Inclose the true state of both, and earnestly request that
+the present government may be continued. Pray that the King's tender
+compassion will not allow them to fall into the hands of Sir Thos. Smith
+or his confidents." Signed by Sir Fran. Wyatt, Capt. Fan. West, Sir
+George Yeardley and eighty-six others. _Inclose._--"Brief Declaration of
+the Plantation," &c., giving the whole title of this paper, verbatim,
+and a copious abstract of its contents. The earliest account of the
+horrors it relates is to be found in Smith's History, p. 105, in what is
+called "the examinations of Doctor Simons." This writer gives full
+details of the straits to which the Colonists were reduced and the
+expedients to which they resorted to appease hunger in 1609; adding,
+after the statements in regard to eating the Indian who had been buried
+several days and their eating "one another boyled, and stewed with
+rootes and herbes," the account of the man who "did kill his wife,
+powdered her, and had eaten part of her before it was known," and adding
+with a grim humour, "now whether shee was better roasted, boyled or
+carbonado'd, I know not, but of such a dish as powdered wife, I never
+heard of." His statements are copied, with more or less variation, by
+Beverley, Stith, Keith and Burke, but not one of them go into the
+disgusting and improbable details named in the "Brief Declaration."
+Campbell also reports the stories, but adds, in regard to the wife
+murderer, "upon his trial it appeared that cannibalism was feigned to
+palliate the murder," p. 93. Neill quotes from the Records of the
+Virginia Company, "The Tragical Relation of Virginia Assembly," which
+was transmitted to England about 1621; this was intended as a reply to a
+petition of Alderman Johnson and others, who had represented to the King
+that the reports in regard to Sir Thos. Smith's management were false,
+and desiring an investigation. These petitioners were members of a
+faction which desired to break up the Virginia Company. In the Relation
+of the Assembly, Smith is charged with all the cruelties to the
+Colonists which are mentioned in this "Brief Declaration"; torturing
+and starving to death being the punishments for minor offences; and
+asserting their confidence in the truth of these statements by
+concluding it with these words: "And rather to be reduced to live under
+the like government we desire his Ma^{ties} commissioners may be sent
+over w^{th} authoritie to hange us." This is signed by thirty members of
+the General Assembly, including among the names, those of George Sandys,
+the poet, traveller and Secretary of the Colony, and Raph Hamor, the
+chronicler--See Neill, pp. 407-411.
+
+There is another reference to this starving time (as it is called) and
+its accompanying horror, which should not be allowed to pass without
+notice. As above stated, the worst state of affairs was reported to have
+existed in 1609, and in the next year a pamphlet with the following
+title was issued, "A true declaration of the estate of the Colonie of
+Virginia, with a refutation of such scandalous reports as haue tended to
+the disgrace of so worthy an enterprise. Published by aduise and
+direction of the Councell of Virginia. London, 1610." The writer of
+which, after referring to the slanders which had been circulated in
+regard to Sir Thos. Smith's government, and especially of the story of
+the wife-eater, says, "Sir Thomas Gates thus relateth the tragedie," and
+then follows a long passage to the effect that "one of the companie
+mortally hated his wife," and having killed her and secreted her body
+after cutting it into peices; when it was found out he said she died and
+he had hid her to satiafie his hunger, and had fed daily upon her, but
+upon searching his house they found a large quantity of provisions.--See
+Force's tracts, Vol. III. The writers of the "Brief Declaration," and
+the "True Declaration," must have seen this statement published ten or
+twelve years before they wrote, and it is a little remarkable that they
+should have persisted in repeating a story which was far from being well
+authentitcated, especially as the true statement did not need this
+addition to increase the odium incurred by the mismanagement of Sir
+Thos. Smith, the evidences of which are herein set forth.
+
+Stith reports the stories of the Indian "that had been slain and buried"
+being taken up and eaten, and "so did several others, one another that
+died," and also that of the man who "killed his wife and powdered her
+up, and eat the greater portion before it was discovered;" and adds, for
+many years after it was "remembered by the name of the _starving time_,"
+p. 116-117. For many particulars nowhere else given, see Neill's
+History, pp. 407-411.

+     A BREIFE DECLARATION _of the Plantation of Virginia duringe the
+     first Twelve Yeares, when Sir Thomas Smith was Governor of the
+     Companie, & downe to this present tyme. By the Ancient Planters
+     nowe remaining alive in Virginia._
+
+Wheras in the beginninge of Sir Thomas Smith's twelve yeares government,
+it was published in printe throughout the Kingdome of Englande that a
+Plantation should be settled in Virginia for the glorie of God in the
+propogation of the Gospell of Christ, the conversion of the Savages, to
+the honour of his Majesty, by the enlargeinge of his territories and
+future enrichinge of his kingdome, for which respects many noble & well
+minded persons were induced to adventure great sums of money to the
+advancement of soe pious & noble a worke, who have from the very first
+been frustrate of their expectation, as wee conceive, by the
+misgovernment of Sir Thomas Smith, aiminge at nothinge more then a
+perticular gaine, to be raised out of the labours of such as both
+voluntarilie adventured themselves and were otherwise sent over at the
+common charge. This will cleerely appeare in the examination of the
+first expedition & severall supplies in the tyme of his government.
+
+The first Plantation in Virginia consisted of one hundred persons, so
+slenderly provided for that before they had remained halfe a yeare in
+this new Collony they fell into extreame want, not havinge anything left
+to sustein them save a little ill conditioned Barley, which ground to
+meal & pottage made thereof, one smale ladle full was allowed each
+person for a meale, without bread or aught else whatsoever, so that had
+not God, by his great providence, moved the Indians, then our utter
+enemies, to bringe us reliefe, we had all utterlie by famine perished.
+How unable so small a companye of people, soe poorely sent over, were to
+make way for such as shoulde followe, may easily be judged.
+
+The first supplie beinge two shippes, the John & Francis & Phenix, with
+one hundred & twenty persons, worse every way provided for then the
+former, arrived heere about eight or nine months after & found the
+Collony consistinge of no more then forty persons (of those) tenn only
+able men, the rest at point of death, all utterly destitute of howses,
+not one as yet built, so that they lodged in cabbins & holes within the
+grounde; victualls they had none, save some small reliefe from the
+Indians, as some yet living weare feelinge witnesses, neither were we
+for our future and better maintenance permitted to manure or till any
+grounde, a thing in a new Plantation principally to be regarded, but
+weare by the direction of Sir Thomas Smith, and his officers heere,
+wholly imployed in cuttinge downe of masts, cedar, blacke wallnutt,
+clapboarde, &c., and in digginge gould oare (as some thought) which
+beinge sent for England proved dirt. These works to make retorne of
+present proffit hindered others of more necessary consequence of
+Plantation.
+
+After this first supplie there were some few poore howses built, &
+entrance made in cleeringe of grounde to the quantitye of foure acres
+for the wholl Collony, hunger & sickness not permitting any great
+matters to bee donne that yeare.
+
+The second supplie was a ship called the Mary Margett, which arrived
+here nine months after, about the time of Michaellmas, in her sixty
+persons, most gentlemen, few or no tradesmen, except some Polanders to
+make Pitch, tarre, potashes, &c., to be retorned for present gaine, soe
+meanly likewise were these furnished forth for victualles, that in lesse
+then two monthes after their arrivall, want compelled us to imploye our
+time abroad in trading with the Indians for corne; whereby though for a
+time we partly relieved our necessities, yet in Maye followinge we weare
+forced (leavinge a small guarde of gentlemen & some others about the
+president at James Towne) to disperse the wholl Collony, some amongst
+the Salvadges but most to the Oyster Banks, where they lived uppon
+oysters for the space of nine weekes, with the allowance only of a pinte
+of Indian corne to each man for a week, & that allowance of corne
+continued to them but two weekes of the nine, which kinde of feeding
+caused all our skinns to peele off, from head to foote, as if we had
+beene flead. By this time arrived Captaine Samuell Argall in a small
+Barque, with him neither supplie of men nor victualls from the Company;
+but we understandinge that he had some small provisions of bread and
+wine, more then would serve his owne companie, required him and the
+master of the Barque to remaine ashoare whilst we might bring his sailes
+ashoare the better to assure us of his ship & such provisions as coulde
+be spared, whereunto he seemed willingly to condescend. Those
+provisions, at a small allowance of Biskett, cake, and a small measure
+of wine or beere to each person for a Daye some what relieved us for the
+space of a month, at the end of which time arrived the thirde supplie,
+called Sir Thomas Gates, his fleet, which consisted of seaven shippes &
+neere five hundred persons with whom a small proportion of victuall, for
+such a number, was landed; howses few or none to entertain them, so that
+being quartered in the open feilde they fell uppon that small quantitye
+of corne, not beinge above seaven acres, which we with great penury &
+sufferance had formerly planted, and in three days, at the most, wholly
+devoured it.
+
+These numbers, thus meanly provided, not being able to subsist and live
+together weare soone after devided into three parties and dispersed
+abroad for their better reliefe. The first under commande of Captaine
+Francis West to feat at the head of the River; a second under commande
+of Captaine John Smith, then President, at James Towne, & the other,
+with Capt. John Martin, in the River at Nansamun, which divisions gave
+occasions to the Indiens treacherously to cutt off divers of our men &
+boates, and forced the rest at the end of sixe weekes, havinge spent
+those small provisions they had with them, to retire to James Town &
+that in the depth of winter, when by reason of the colde, it was not
+possible for us to endure to wade in the water (as formerly) to gather
+oysters to satisfie our hungry stomacks, but constrained to digge in the
+grounde for unwholesome rootes whereof we were not able to get so many
+as would suffice us, in respect of the frost at that season & our
+poverty & weakness, so that famine compelled us wholly to devoure those
+Hogges, Dogges & horses that weare then in the Collony, together with
+rates, mice, snakes, or what vermin or carryon soever we could light on,
+as alsoe Toadstooles, Jewes eares, or what els we founde growing upon
+the grounde that would fill either mouth or belly; and weare driven
+through unsufferable hunger unnaturallie to eat those thinges which
+nature most abhorred, the flesh and excrements of man, as well of our
+owne nation as of an Indian, digged by some out of his grave after he
+had laien buried three daies & wholly devoured him; others, envyinge the
+better state of boddie of any whom hunger had not yet so much wasted as
+there owne, lay waight and threatened to kill and eat them; one amonge
+the rest slue his wife as she slept in his bosome, cutt her in peeces,
+powdered her & fedd uppon her till he had clean devoured all partes
+saveinge her heade, & was for soe barbarouse a fact and cruelty justly
+executed. Some adventuringe to seeke releife in the woods, dyed as they
+fought it, & weare eaten by others who found them dead. Many putt
+themselves into the Indians' handes, though our enemies, and were by
+them slaine. In this extremitye of famine continued the Collony till the
+twenteth of Maye, when unexpected, yet happely, arrived Sir Thomas Gates
+& Sir George Somers in two small Barques[FF] which they had built in the
+Sommer Islands after the wreake of the Sea adventure wherin they sett
+forth from Englande, with them one hundred persons barely provided of
+vittel for themselves. They founde the Collony consistinge then of but
+sixty persons most famished and at point of death, of whom many soone
+after died; the lamentable outcries of theirs soe moved the hartes of
+those worthies, not being in any sorte able long to releive their wantes
+they soone resolved to imbarque themselves & this poore remainder of the
+Collonye, in those two pinnaces & two other small Barques then in the
+River, to sett saile for Newfoundland where they might releive their
+wants & procure one safer passage for Englande. Every man, glad of this
+resolution, laboured his uttmost to further it, so that in three weekes
+we had fitted those barques and pinnaces (the best we could) & quitted
+James Towne, leaving the poore buildings in it to the spoile of the
+Indians, hopeinge never to retorne to re-possess them. When we had not
+sailed downe the River above twelve miles but we espied a boat which
+afterwards we understoode came from the right Honourable Lorde La Ware,
+who was then arived at Point Comfort with three good shipps, wherin he
+brought two hundred and fifty persons with some store of Provisions for
+them; but by reason he founde the Collony in so great want was forced to
+put both his owne people & the rest of the Collony to a very meane
+allowance, which was seven pounde of English meale for a man a weeke, &
+five pounds for every woman, without the addition of any victuall
+whatsoever, except, in the stead of meale, we took valuablie either
+pease or oatmeale. Uppon the arrival of that boat, Sir Thomas Gates
+understandinge from the Lord La Ware, that his Lordship was arrived with
+commission from the Company to be Gov^r & Capt. Gen^l of Virginia, & had
+brought men & provisions for the subsistinge & advancing of the
+Plantation, he the very next daye, to the great griefe of all his
+Company (only except Capt. John Martin), as winde and weather gave
+leave, retorned his whole company with charge to take possession againe
+of those poore ruinated habitations at James Towne which he had formerly
+abandoned; himselffe in a boate proceeded downeward to meete his
+Lordship who, making all speede up, arrived shortly after at James
+Towne. The time of the yeare being then most unseasonable, by
+intemperate heat, at the end of June his people suddenly fallinge
+generally into most pestilent diseases of Callentures and feavors, not
+lesse then one hundred & fifty of them died within few moneths after, &
+that chiefly for want of meanes to comfort them in their weak estates.
+The residue alsoe disabled by reason of sicknes could performe nothing
+that yeare to the advancement of the Collony, yet with the help of those
+people which had arrived with Sir Thomas Gates, together with some of
+the ancient Planters, who by use weare growen practique in a hard way of
+livinge, two small forts weare erected neare the rivers mouth at
+Kicoughtun, encompassed with small younge trees, haveinge for housing in
+the one, two formerlie built by the Indians & covered with bark by them,
+in the other a tent with some few thatcht cabbins which our people built
+at our comming thether. We founde divers other Indian Howses built by
+the natives which by reason we could make no use of we burnt, killinge
+to the number of twelve or fourteene Indians, & possessinge such corne
+as we founde growinge of their plantinge. We remained there untill
+harvest, when we reaped (besides what we spent) about the quantitie of
+one hundred and fiftie bushells of corne, which, by order from the Lord
+La Ware, was transported to James Towne.

+from the Lord Delaware, Governor of Virginia to the patentees in
+England.--Introduction to Strachey's _Virginia Brittania_, p. xxiii.
+
+His Lordship intendinge to send up certain forces to march towardes the
+mountaines for the discoverie of gold or silver mines at the end of
+October, sent his Patents to Captaine Yardley and Captaine Holcroft,
+commanders of those two forts at Kicoughtan, wherin his Lordship gave
+order that they should be forthwith abandoned & the people with all
+speede to be brought to James Citie, there to prepare for his intended
+march.
+
+At that time there arrived a small ship called the daintie, with twelve
+men & one woman, some little provision of victuall, two or three horses
+& some other slight necessaries for the Collony. Soon after we sett
+forward for our intended march, havinge for our leaders Captaine Edwarde
+Brewster & Captaine George Yeardley, being in number one hundred
+persons, furnished with all such necessary provisions, as the Collony at
+that time out of its poverty was able to provide. This designe was
+hindered by reason of the unfortunate losse of all our chieffe men
+skillfull in findeinge out mines, who weare treacherously slaine by the
+Salvadges (inviteinge them ashoare to eat victualls which they wanted)
+even when the meate was in theire mouthes, they careinge only to fill
+their bellies, foresaw not to prevent this danger which befell them.
+
+This injury we revenged for the present (as we coulde) by killinge some
+Indians and burninge many houses, but by reason of this disaster we
+proceeded not farther on our journey then the head of the River, where
+we spent about three moneths doinge little but induringe much; his
+Lordship was there in person for the most part of that time, but his
+disease of body groweinge much upon him he resolved to retire to James
+Towne, givinge order that the fort which we had built there shoulde bee
+quitted and the troupe drawn downe, which accordingly was done. His
+Lordship then in regarde of his sickness was advised to putt to Sea in
+his ship, the Delaware, to seeke remedie in some other parts for the
+health of his bodye. At his going he left Captaine George Percie Deputie
+Governor, the people (remaining under his command) provided for three
+months at a short allowance of victuals. The calamities of these times
+would not any way permit workes of great importance to bee performed,
+sith that we did was as much as we coulde doe to live and defende our
+selves.
+
+The Plantations helde at his Lordships departure were only James Towne
+and Pointe Comforte, where was a small Fort fenced with Pallisadoes, in
+it one slight howse, a store and some few thatcht cabbins, which shortly
+after by casualtie was burnt with fire; some few great ordinance were
+slenderlye mounted at James Towne and Pointe Comfort.
+
+A fortnight after his Lordship's departure arrived a small ship called
+the Hercules, with some thirty people and some provisions for them. The
+tweife of May followeinge arrived Sir Thomas Dale with three ships and
+three hundred persons, his provisions for them of such qualitie (for the
+most part) as hogges refused to eat, some whereof were sent backe to
+England to testifie the same, and that the rest was not better was
+justified upon oath before the Hono^{ble} the Lorde Cheife Justice of
+the Common Pleas, at Guilde hall in London, by Sir Thos. Gates & two
+other gentlemen.
+
+Sir Thomas Dale, takinge into consideration the precedent times not to
+have succeeded accordinge to the greedy desire of Sir Thomas Smith,
+presently imployed the general Colony about the lading of those three
+ships with such freight as the country then yealded, but a little before
+the ships were readie to depart, Sir Thomas Gates arrived with three
+ships and three carvills, with him three hundred persons meanly provided
+with victualls for such a number. In this fleet, to our remembrance,
+arrived sixtie cowes and some swine; it was his care to dispatch those
+shipps and carvills fraighted (as aforesaid) to the neglect of workes of
+greater importance. Sir Thomas Dale imediately uppon his arrival, to add
+to that extremitye of miserye under which the Collonye from her infancie
+groaned, made and published most cruell and tiranous lawes, exceeding
+the strictest rules of marishall discipline, which lawes were sent over
+by Sir Thomas Dale to Sir Thomas Smith by the hande of Mr. William
+Starchey,[GG] then Secretarie to the State, and were retorned in print,
+with approbation, for our future government, as in divers bookes yet
+extant more fully appeareth.
+
+[GG] Mr. Strachey, sailed with Lord Delaware on the 1st of April, 1610,
+and arrived at the Capes on the 15th of May. He remained about two
+years. He left a well written manuscript account of his observations,
+with this title: "The Historie of travaile into Virginia Brittania,
+* * * gathered and discovered as well by those who went first hither, as
+collected by William Strachey, Gent., the first secretary of the
+Colony;" which, edited by R.A. Major, Esq., of the British Museum, was
+published by the Hakluyt society in 1849.
+
+At Michaellmas then next followinge, Sir Thomas Dale removed himself
+with three hundred persons for the buildinge of Henrico Towne, where
+being landed he oppressed his whole companye with such extraordinarye
+labors by daye and watchinge by night, as maye seeme incredible to the
+eares of any who had not the experimentall triall thereof. Wante of
+houses at first landinge in the colde of winter, and pinchinge hunger
+continually bitinge, made those imposed labours moft insufferable, and
+the best fruits and effects therof to be noe better then the slaughter
+of his Majesty's free subjects by starveinge, hangeinge, burneinge,
+breakinge upon the wheele and shootinge to deathe, some (more than halfe
+famished) runninge to the Indians to gett reliefe beinge againe retorned
+were burnt to death. Some for stealinge to satisfie their hunger were
+hanged, and one chained to a tree till he starved to death; others
+attemptinge to run awaye in a barge and a shallop (all the Boates that
+were then in the Collonye) and therin to adventure their lives for their
+native countrye, beinge discovered and prevented, were shott to death,
+hanged and broken upon the wheele, besides continuall whippings,
+extraordinary punishments, workinge as slaves in irons for terme of
+yeares (and that for petty offences) weare dayly executed. Many famished
+in holes and other poore cabbins in the grounde, not respected because
+sicknes had disabled them for labour, nor was their sufficient for them
+that were more able to worke, our best allowance beinge but nine ounces
+of corrupt and putrified meale and haife a pinte of oatmeale or pease
+(of like ill condition) for each person a daye. Those provisions were
+sent over by one Winne, a Draper, and Caswell, a baker, by the
+appointment (as we conceave) of Sir Thomas Smith. Under this Tiranus
+Government the Collony continued in extreame slavery and miserye for the
+space of five yeares, in which time many, whose necessities enforced the
+breach of those lawes by the strictness and severitye therof, suffered
+death and other punishments. Divers gentlemen both there and at Henrico
+towne, and throughout the wholl Collonye (beinge great adventurers and
+no trendes or alliance to Sir Thomas Smith) weare feeling members of
+those generall calamities, as far forth as the meanest fellow sent over.
+
+The buildings and fortifications of that Towne, or thereabouts, were noe
+way extraordinary, neither could want, accompanied with bloode and
+crueltie, effect better.
+
+Fortification against a foreign enemy there was none, only two or three
+peeces of ordenance mounted, and against a domestic noe other but a pale
+inclosinge the Towne to the quantitye of foure acres, within which those
+buildings that weare erected, coulde not in any man's judgement, neither
+did stande above five yeares and that not without continuall
+reparations; true it is that there was a Bricke Church intended to be
+built, but not soe much as the foundation therof ever finished, but we
+contentinge our selves with a church of wood answerable to those houses.
+Many other workes of like nature weare by him donne at Henrico and the
+precincts therof, but so slightly as before his departure hence, he
+himself saw the ruine and desolation of most of them.
+
+Sir Thomas Gates likewise in his time erected some buildinges in and
+about James Towne, which by continuall cost in repaireinge of them doe
+yet for the most part in some sort remaine.
+
+A framed Bridge was alsoe then erected, which utterly decayed before the
+end of Sir Thomas Smith's government, that being the only bridge (any
+way soe to be called) that was ever in the country. At this time in all
+these labours, the miserye throughout the wholl Collony, in the
+scarcitye of foode was equall; which penurious and harde kinde of
+liveinge, enforced and emboldened some to petition to Sir Thomas Gates
+(then Governor) to grant them that favor that they might employ
+themselves in husbandry, that therby they and all others by plantinge of
+corne, might be better fed then those supplies of victual which were
+sent from Englande woulde afforde to doe, which request of theirs was
+denied unlesse they woulde paye the yearlye rent of three barrels of
+corne and one monthe's worke to the Collonye, although many of them had
+been imployed in the generall workes and services of the Collony from
+the beginninge of the Plantation, which harde condition of Tenantship
+was then accepted rather then they woulde continue in those generall
+services and employments noe waye better then slavery. Most part of the
+time that Sir Thomas Gates and Sir Thos. Dale governed we were at warre
+with the natives, so that by them divers times were many of our people
+slaine, whose blood Sir Thomas Dale neglected not to revenge, by divers
+and sundry executions, in killinge many, cuttinge downe and takinge away
+their corne, burninge their houses, spoiling their weares, &c.[HH]
+
+[HH] "Their weares in which they take their fish, which are certain
+enclosures made with reedes, and framed in the fashion of a laborinth or
+maze, sett a fathome deepe in the water, with divers chambers or bedds,
+out of which the entangled fish cannot returne or gett out, being once
+in."--Strachey, p. 68.
+
+In this time alsoe the two fortes, fort Henry and fort Charles, at
+Kicoughton, were againe erected with such buildings as were formerly
+expressed, not fortified at all against a forreine enemye, and against
+the Indian that common order of a pale or pallisadoe.
+
+The supplies sent out of Englande while Sir Thos. Gates and Sir Thos.
+Dale governed were these; a small barque called the John and Francis,
+which brought few men and less victual; the next a small ship called the
+Sarah, with the like number of men and victuall; the next ship called
+the Tresorer, wherin came Capt. Samuell Argoll, bringinge with him to
+the number of fiftie good men, which ship and men were wholly imployed
+in Trade and other services for relevinge of the Collonye; the next
+ship, called the Elizabeth, with about thirteene persons, for them
+little provision; the next the same Elizabeth came againe, with some
+small store of provisions only; in her Sir Thos. Gates went for
+Englande, leavinge the government with Sir Thomas Dale.
+
+A little before the departure of Sir Thomas Gates many of the ancient
+planters (by the instigation of Sir Thomas Dale), uppon the promise of
+an absolute freedome after three yeares more to be expired (havinge most
+of them already served the Collonye six or seaven yeares in that
+generall slavery) were yet contented to worke in the buildinge of
+Charles Citty and Hundred, with very little allowance of clothinge and
+victuall, and that only for the first yeare, being promised one moneth
+in the yeare, and one daye in the weeke from Maye daye till harvest, to
+gett our maintenance out of the earth without any further helpe; which
+promise of Sir Thos. Dale was not performed, for out of that small time
+which was allowed for our maintenance we were abridged of nere halfe,
+soe that out of our daily taskes we were forced to redeeme time wherin
+to labour for our sustenance, therby miserably to purchase our freedome.
+Yet so fell it out that our State (by God's mercy) was afterwardes more
+happie then others who continued longer in the aforementioned slaverye;
+in which time we built such houses as before and in them lived with
+continual repairs, and buildinge new where the old failed, untill the
+massacre.
+
+For matter of fortification in all this time, were only foure peeces of
+ordinance mounted for our defence against the natives. Soone after we
+weare seated at Charles Hundred, Sir Thomas Dales resolved of a journey
+to Pamonkey River, there to make with the Salvadges either a firme
+league of friendship or a present warre; they percieving his intent
+inclined rather for peace (more for feare then love) which was then
+concluded betwixt them. That donne we retorned to our habitations, where
+great want and scarcitye, oppressed us, that continuinge and
+increasinge, (our first harvest not yet being ripe) caused in many an
+intended mutinye, which beinge, by God's mercy, discovered, the prime
+actors were duly examined and convicted, wherof sixe beinge adjudged and
+condemned were executed.
+
+After this, arrived for supply a small ship called the John and Francis,
+with about twenty persons and little or noe provisions for them. The
+next ship, called the Tresorer, arived heere with the number of twenty
+persons and as little provisions as the former, in which ship after many
+other designes were effected by Sir Thos. Dale, as makinge spoile of the
+Keschiacks[II] and Wariscoyacks, impaling some necks of Lande, for
+defence against the Salvadges, and in fishing for our reliefe, &c., he
+departed from Virginia, and left the Government to Captain George
+Yardley, under whom the Collony lived in peace and best plentye that
+ever it had till that time, yet most part of the people for that yeare
+of his Government continued in the generall services followinge their
+labors as Sir Thos. Dale left them by order.
+

+
+At Michaelmas followinge arrived a small ship called the Susan, her
+lading (beinge the first Magazin) consistinge of some necessarye
+provisions of clothinge, as our wants required, which goods were sould
+by Sir Thos. Smith's factor, as we suppose, for a sufficient proffit,
+exchanginge with us their commodities for our Tobacco.
+
+At Christmas then followinge, just occasion beinge given by the Indians
+of Chiquohomini in many and severall kindes of abuses, and in deridinge
+of our demandes, wherunto they had formerly agreed and conditioned with
+Sir Thomas Dale to paye us yearlye tribute, viz: a bushell of corne for
+every Boweman, for which, by agreement, we were to give to each man one
+peece of copper and one iron tomahawke, and to the eight chiefe men each
+a suit of redd cloth, which clothes and truckinge stuffe we esteemed of
+more worth then their corne. These and the like grosse abuses moved our
+Governor, Captaine George Yeardley, to levye a company of men, to the
+number of eighty-four, to bee revenged uppon those contemptuous Indians,
+which he, accordinge to his desire, fully executed, and returned home
+with the spoile of them; concludinge, before his departure from them, a
+more firme league in appearance than formerly was, for that it continued
+unviolated almost the space of two yeares; our people freely travelinge
+from Town to Towne (both men, women and children) without any armes, and
+were by the Salvadges lodged in their houses, every way kindly intreated
+and noe way molested.
+
+In March followinge, our three yeares' time beinge expired, as it was
+our due, we of Charles Hundred demanded our long desired freedome from
+that common and generall servitude; unto which request Captaine George
+Yeardley, freely and willingly assented, to our great joy and comfort.
+Yet remained the most part of the Collony in the former servitude; part
+of whom were farmers, the rest imployed in such workes as Sir Thomas
+Dale gave order for before his departure.
+
+We that were freed, with our humble thankes to God, fell cheerfully to
+our perticular labours, wherby to our great comfort, through his
+blessinge, we reaped a plentifull harvest.
+
+In May followinge arived Captain Samuell Argoll with commission to be
+Governor. He brought with him to the number of a hundred persons, partly
+at the charge of the Company and partly at the charge of private
+adventurers; with them was brought a very little provision for that
+nomber. At his arrival heere he founde the Collony in all parts well
+stored with corne, and at Charles Hundred a granery well furnished by
+rentes lately raised and received from the farmers, which corne he tooke
+possession of, but how it was imployed himselfe can best give an
+account. Whilest he governed, the Collony was slenderly provided of
+munition, wherby a strict proclamation was made for restraint of
+wastinge or shooting away of powder, under paine of great punishment;
+which forbiddinge to shoot at all in our peeces caused the losse of much
+of oure corne then growinge uppon the grounde; the Indians perceivinge
+our forbearance to shoote (as formerly) concluded thereuppon that our
+peeces were, as they saide, sicke and not to be used; uppon this, not
+longe after they were boulde to presume to assault some of our people,
+whom they slew, therin breakinge that league, which before was so fairly
+kept.
+
+Duringe his time of Government most of the people of the Collony
+remained (as formerly) in the common service, their freedome not beinge
+to be obtained without extraordinary payement.
+
+The next ship that arrived heere was the George, sett forth, as we
+supose, at the charge of private adventurers, but came soe meanly
+provided with victuall, that had not we, the old Planters, relieved them
+most of them had been starved. The next ships, called the Neptune and
+Treasurer, arived in August followinge, set out at the charge of the
+Right Hono^{ble} the Lord Laware, his noble associates, and some other
+private adventurers. The people w^{ch} arived were soe poorely
+victualled that had they not been distributed amongst the old Planters
+they must for want have perished; with them was brought a most pestilent
+disease (called the Bloody flux) which infected all most all the whole
+Collonye. That disease, nothstanding all our former afflictions, was
+never knowne before amongst us.
+
+The next supply weare two ships called the William & Thomas and the
+Guift, which arived in Januarie; the Guift beinge sett forth at the
+charge of the Societie of Martin's Hundred, the other by the Magazin and
+some private adventurers.
+
+The next, a small ship called the Elinor (sett forth at whose charge we
+know not), arived heere in Aprill after, and in her Capt. Samuell
+Argoll, leaving his Government, shipt himselfe for Englande. Whatsoever
+els befell in the time of his Government we omit to relate, much beinge,
+uppon our oathes, alreadie sufficiently examined and our answers sent
+for Englande.
+
+By all which hath heertofore beene saide concerninge this Collony, from
+the infancie therof and untill the expiration of Sir Thomas Smith's
+government, may easily be perceived and plainly understood what just
+cause he or any els have to boast of the flourishing estate of those
+times, wherin so great miseries and callamities were indured, and soe
+few workes of moment or importance performed, himselfe beinge justly to
+be charged as a prime author therof, by his neglect of providinge and
+alloweinge better meanes to proceede in so great a worke, and in
+hindering very many of our frendes from sendinge much releife and meanes
+who beinge earnestly solicited from hence by our letters--wherin we
+lamentablie complained unto them--have often besought Sir Thomas Smith
+that they might have leave to supplie us at their owne charge both with
+provision of victuall and all other necessaries, wherin he utterlie
+denied them so to doe, protestinge to them that we were in noe want at
+all, but that we exceeded in abundance and plentie of all things, so
+that therby our frendes were moved both to desist from sendinge and
+to doubt the truth of our letters, most part of which weare by him
+usually intercepted and kept backe; farther giveinge order by his
+directions to the Governor heere, that all men's letters should be
+searched at the goinge away of ships, and if in anye of them weare
+founde that the true estate of the Collony was declared, they were
+presented to the Governor and the indighters of them severely punished;
+by which meanes noe man durst make any true relation to his frendes of
+his owne or the Collonye's true estate; neither was it permitted to anye
+to have passe to goe home, but by force were kept heere and employed as
+we have saide (save some few), one of whom receved his passe from the
+Kinge, and that closely made up in a garter, least it should have been
+seized uppon and he kept heere notwithstandinge. Those whom their
+frendes procured their passe in open courte from the Companye were, by
+private direction, neverthelesse made staye of, others procuringe
+private letters having been lett goe.
+
+We must alsoe noat heere, that Sir Thos. Dale, at his arivall finding
+himself deluded by the aforesaid protestations, pulled Capt. Newport by
+the beard, and threatninge to hange him, for that he affirmed Sir Thos.
+Smith's relation to be true, demandinge of him whether it weare meant
+that the people heere in Virginia shoulde feed uppon trees.
+
+Soe may we heere conclude, as some have concluded for him, to what great
+growth of perfection (with the expence of that seaventie thousand
+poundes) the Plantation was advanced in the time of his 12 years'
+government, but whether, as it is saide, he be to be praised for the
+managaing of these affaires, with much unanimity, moderation, integritie
+and judgment, we leave it to censure.
+
+At the end of this twelve yeares arived Sir George Yeardley to be Gov^r
+and founde the Collony in this estate and thus furnished, vizt: For
+fortification against a forreign ennemie there was none at all; two demy
+culverin only were mounted uppon rotten carriages and placed within
+James Citty, fitter to shoot downe our houses then to offend an ennemie.
+At Charles Hundred, which were mounted by Sir Thos. Dale, two demy
+culverin and one sacre; fortifications against a domestique enimie very
+mean. For Forts, Towns and Plantations he founde these: James Citty,
+Henrico, Charles Citty and Hundred, Shirley Hundred, Arrahattock, Martin
+Brandon and Kicoughton, all w^{ch} were but poorely housed and as ill
+fortified; for in James Cittie were only those houses that Sir Thom.
+Gates built in the time of his government, with one wherin the Gov^r
+allwayes dwelt, an addition beinge made therto in the time of Captaine
+Sam^l Argoll, and a church, built, wholly at the charge of the
+inhabitants of that cittie, of Timber, beinge fifty foote in length and
+twenty foot in breadth; at Paspahayes alsoe weare some few slight houses
+built; at Henrico, two or three old howses, a poore ruinated church with
+some few poore buildings in the Island; Coxen Dale and the Maine and att
+Arrahatocke one house, at Charles Cittie sixe howses much decayed, and,
+that we may not be too tedious, as these, soe were the rest of the
+places furnisht.
+
+For people then alive about the nomber of foure hundred, very many of
+them in want of corne, utterlie destitute of cattle, twine, Poultrie and
+other Provisions to nourish them.
+
+For Barques, Pinnaces, Shallops, Barges and Boates he founde only one
+olde Frigott, which belonged to the Sommer Islandes, one olde Shallopp
+built in Sir Thos. Dale's time, one boat built in Sir Sam'l Argoll's
+time, with two small boates belonginge to private men. For munition a
+very small quantitye, the most part thereof beinge very bad and of
+little use. For ministers to instruct the people he founde only three
+authorized, two others who never received their orders.
+
+For staple commodities at his arrivall he founde none afoot save only
+Tobacco. The natives he founde uppon doubtfull termes, neither did we
+ever perceive that at any time they voluntarilie yealded themselves
+subjects or servants to our Gracious Soveraigne, neither that ever they
+tooke any pride in that title, nor paide they at any time any yearly
+contribution of corne for the sustentation of the Collony, nor could we
+at any time keepe them in such goode respect or correspondencie that
+they and we did become mutuallie helpfull or proffitable, each to other,
+but to the contrary, whatsoever at any time was done uppon them
+proceeded from fear without love, for such help as we have had from them
+have been procured by sworde or trade. And heere can we noe way approve
+of that which hath lately beene saide in the behalfe of Sir Thos. Smith,
+by some of his new frendes, that a flourishinge plantation in Virginia,
+erected in the time of his 12 yeares government, hath since been
+distroyed through the ignorance of succeedinge Governors heere, for that
+by what we have already saide all the worlde may judge in what a
+flourishinge estate it was, and to what growth of perfection it was
+advanced, at the arivall of Sir Geo. Yeardley to be Gov^r here, it
+beinge then in our judgements, that were members of the colony, in a
+poore estate.
+
+The whole 12 yeares expired.
+
+_Aprill, 1619._--Arived Sir Geo. Yeardeley, bringing certain commissions
+and instructions from the Company for the better establishinge of a
+Commonwealth heere, wherin order was taken for the removing of all those
+grievances which formerly were suffred and manifested the same by
+publishinge a Proclamation that all those that were residend heere
+before the departure of Sir Thos. Dale should be freed and acquitted
+from such publique services and labours which formerly they suffered,
+and that those cruell lawes by which we had soe longe been governed were
+now abrogated, and that we were now to be governed by those free lawes
+which his Ma^{ty's} subjects live under in Englande. And farther that
+free libertie was given to all men to make choice of their dividents of
+lande and, as their abilities and meanes w^d permitt, to possesse and
+plant uppon them. And that they might have a hande in the governinge of
+themselves, it was granted that a general assemblie should be helde
+yearly once, wherat were to be present the Gov^r and Counsell with two
+Burgesses from each Plantation freely to be elected by the inhabitants
+thereof; this assembly to have power to make and ordaine whatsoever
+lawes and orders should by them be thought good and proffittable for our
+subsistance. The effect of which proceedinge gave such incouragement to
+every person heere that all of them followed their perticular labours
+with singular alacrity and industry, soe that, through the blessinge of
+God uppon our willinge labors, within the space of three yeares, our
+countrye flourished with many new erected Plantations, from the head of
+the River to Kicoughtan, beautifull and pleasant to the spectators, and
+comfortable for the releife and succor of all such as by occasion did
+travaile by land or by water; every man giveinge free entertainment,
+both to frendes or others. The plenty of these times likewise was such
+that all men generally were sufficiently furnished with corne, and many
+alsoe had plenty of cattle, swine, poultry and other good provisions to
+nourish them. Monethly courtes were held in every precinct to doe
+justice in redressinge of all small and petty matters, others of more
+consequence beinge referred to the Gov^r, Counsell and Generall
+Assemblie. Now alsoe were begunne and sett a foote the erectinge of Iron
+Workes, plantinge of vines and mulberrie trees for the nourishinge of
+silke wormes; a trial made for silke grasse tillage for English graine,
+gardeninge, and the like, which gave great hopes of present and future
+plenty in their severall perticulars, wherin no doubt but much more had
+been effected had not great sicknes and mortalitie prevented.
+
+Those yeares fallinge out to be generally contagious through this
+continent, the people alsoe sent over arrived heere at the most
+unseasonable time of the yeare, beinge at the heat of Sommer, and divers
+of the ships brought with them most pestilent infections, wherof many of
+their people had died at Sea, soe that these times alsoe of plenty and
+libertie were mixed with the calamities of sicknes and mortalitie.
+
+       *       *       *       *       *
+
+_In October, 1621_, Arived Sir Fras. Wyatt, Knight, with commission to
+be Gov^r and Capt. Gen^l of Virginia. He ratified and confirmed all the
+afore mentioned liberties, freedomes and priveledges, to our great
+happines and content; the country alsoe flourished and increased in her
+former proceedinges, as iron workes, plantinge of vines and mulberrie
+for silke, &c. A ship alsoe was sent to the Summer Islandes for such
+commodities as that place afforded, as Potatoes, Fig Trees, Orange and
+Lemon Trees, and such like, many of which prosper and growe very likely
+to increase. But amidst this happines was the Hande of God sett against
+us, in great part, no doubt, for the punishment of our ingratitude in
+not being thankefull but forgettfull that by his mercye we were
+delivered from such bondage and calamitie as before time we had
+suffered. Justly likewise were we punished for our greedy desires of
+present gaine and proffit, wherin many showed themselves insatiable and
+covetous; we beinge too secure in trustinge of a treacherous enimie, the
+Salvadges, they, whilest we entertained them frendley in our houses,
+tooke their opportunities and suddenly fell uppon us, killing and
+murdering very many of our people, burninge and devastinge their houses
+and plantations, this happeninge uppon the _two and twenteth of March_
+followinge (1622), stroocke so at the life of our wellfare by blood and
+spoile, that it almost generally defaced the beautie of the wholl
+Collonye, puttinge us out of the way of bringinge to perfection those
+excellent workes wherin we had made soe faire a beginninge.
+
+This deadly stroake being given to the great amazement and ruine of our
+State, caused our Governor and Counsell, withall speede, for the safetie
+of the rest (lest the Indians shoulde take courage to pursue what they
+had begunne), to re-collect the straglinge and woefull Inhabitants, soe
+dismembered, into stronger bodies and more secure places. This enforced
+reducement of the Collony into fewer bodies, together with the troble of
+warre then in hande, caused the year following a slender harvest to be
+reaped, wherby we weare constrained to relye upon hopes for our reliefe
+by shippinge out of Englande, and by trading with the more remote
+Salvadges, most part of which supplies from Englande unfortunately
+miscarried by the waye, the Salvadges, likewise, from whome we hoped to
+have helpes by trade, proved our most treacherous ennemies, cunninglye
+circumventinge and cruellie murderinge such as were employed abroade to
+gett reliefe from them, by all which misaccidents we fell that yeare
+into great want and scarcitye; which since, by the blessinge of God,
+through our supplies we have had from the Company, together with a
+plentifull harvest, hath bene abundantly restored. Our Gov^r, Counsell
+and others have used their uttermost and Christian endeavours in
+prosequtinge revenge against the bloody Salvadges, and have endeavoured
+to restore the Collonye to her former prosperitye, wherin they have used
+great diligence and industrye, imployinge many forces abroade for the
+rootinge them out of severall places that therby we may come to live in
+better securitie, doubtinge not but in time we shall clean drive them
+from these partes, and therby have the free libertie and range for our
+cattle, the increase of whom may bringe us to plentie, and maye alsoe
+more freely goe on againe with setting up those staple commodities which
+we hoped by this time to have brought to good perfection.
+
+For the supplies of shippinge, men, cattle and provisions that have
+arived heere since Sir Thomas Smith left his government we can not nowe
+well reckon up, they beinge manye, but must referre you to the printed
+bookes and to the Lists and Invoices retorned by Sir Geo. Yeardley.
+
+For the State of the Collony at this present we leave to the report of
+such commissioners as are nowe sent over by the Right Hon. the Lordes of
+his Ma^{tie's} privie counsell.
+
+This being reade in the Gen^l Assemblie received full approbation.

+
+
+
+PREFACE.
+
+
+The three succeeding papers are printed from the De Jarnette collection.
+The first is a census in gross without any details of sex, age or social
+condition. In these respects it lacks the interest which one feels in
+the list made out in 1623.
+
+In February, 1623, there were living in the Colony 1277 persons, and
+including 371 who had died during the preceding year, _i.e._ since
+April, 1622; it is evident that the greatest number of inhabitants
+during the year ending February 16, 1623--not including those murdered
+in the massacre--amounted to 1648; and in 1634, eleven years afterwards,
+they amounted to 5,119, being an increase of 3,471, or an average of
+about 315 per annum, by birth and immigration. Accustomed as we are to
+the rapid growth of new countries this seems but a small increase, but
+when it is remembered that they made the voyage in sailing vessels only,
+and that it then not unfrequently lasted three or four months, we have
+little cause for wonder.
+
+The next paper is a copy of a letter from His Majesty Charles II., to
+the Governor, Sir Wm. Berkeley, returning his thanks for a present of
+silk grown in Virginia. The first settlers were very anxious for success
+in this department of industry, and the House of Burgesses in 1657-'8
+passed a law offering a premium of 5,000 pounds of tobacco to any one
+who made "100 pounds of wound silke in any one year," and in the next
+session, 1658-'9, the premium was made 10,000 pounds of tobacco for 50
+pounds of "wound silke." We have frequently heard repeated a tradition
+to the effect that Charles II. wore a robe made of Virginia silk at his
+coronation. The circumstance of which this document is evidence, is
+probably the nearest approach to any thing of the sort that ever
+occurred, and hereafter this with the foolish and groundless story of
+one of the Lees going to see him when an exile at Breda, to offer him a
+crown and a refuge in Virginia, must be consigned to that oblivion which
+is likely, soon, we hope, to receive many of the mythical legends which
+have heretofore passed current for the history of Virginia.
+
+The third is a list of the parishes and their ministers in 1680, the
+number of the latter showing that the people were poorly provided for in
+this respect, and that some of the parishes had no ministers. This
+deficiency was, however, in a measure provided for by the appointment of
+"readers" under the operation of acts passed February 1632-'3, by which
+if a minister's cur� "is so large that he cannot be present on the
+Saboth and other holy days. _It is thought fit_ That they appoint
+deacons for the readinge of common prayer in their absence;" and
+further, in March, 1661-'2, it was enacted "That every parish not
+haveing a minister to officiate every Sunday doe make choice of a grave
+and sober person to read divine service at the Parish church."--Hen.

+
+ADDENDA.
+
+
+The following additions to the text and notes are suggested as
+explanatory, without being considered superfluous.
+
+Page 16.--"The sixte petition, to change the sauage name of Kicowtan,"
+was granted. In 1621, Treasurer Sandys in his report to the Company
+informed them that the name had been changed to Elizabeth
+Cittie.--Neill's history, page 178.
+
+Page 25.--The word "howes" inserted in connection with various kinds of
+dogs, is our modern word hoe; Smith has it hows on page 86, and howes on
+page 162.
+
+Page 29.--Capt. Henry Spelman, was the third son of the distinguished
+antiquary, Sir Henry Spelman, of Conghan, Norfolk, England. He was about
+twenty-one years of age when he came to Virginia, in 1609, for which he
+accounts as follows: "Beinge in displeasuer of my frendes, and desirous
+to see other countryes. After three months' sayle we cum with prosperus
+winds in sight of Virginia." Afterwards he says, "I was carried by Capt.
+Smith, our President, to ye Fales, to ye litell Powhatan, wher, vnknowne
+to me he sould me to him for a towne called Powhatan."--Spilman's
+Relation, pp. 15, 16. Dr. Simons, in Smith's General Historie, says:
+"Captain West and Captain Sickelmore sought abroad to trade; Sickelmore,
+upon the confidence of Powhatan, with about thirty other as careless as
+himselfe, were all slaine, onely Jeffrey Shortridge escaped, and
+Pokahontas, the King's daughter, saued a boy called Henry Spilman, that
+liued many yeeres after, by her meanes, among the Patawmokes;" this
+occurred in 1609.--Smith, p. 105. He remained with the Indians but
+little more than one year, for in 1610 Capt. Argall being sent to the
+"riuer Patawmoke to trade for corne," where finding him, used Spelman's
+influence to secure the loading of his vessel with corn, and Spelman
+returned with him to Jamestown.--Smith, p. 108. Spelman adds, "and
+brought into England," p. 221. We then lose sight of him until he is
+arraigned before the Assembly at Jamestown in 1619 (_ante_ p. 29) He
+makes his final appearance in 1623, when we are told, he was sent with a
+bark and twenty-six men to "trucke in the River Patawmek," where at some
+place, the name of which was to his companions unknown, he landed with
+twenty-one of his companions, when the savages made hostile
+demonstrations "and presently after they" (the five left in the bark)
+"heard a great brute amongst the Saluages ashore, and saw a man's head
+thrown downe the banke, whereupon they weighed Anchor and returned home,
+but how he was surprised or slaine is vncertaine."--Smith p. 161.
+Spelman wrote a short account of his observations while among the
+Indians, and it laid in obscurity until the sale of Dawson Turner's
+library, in 1859, when it was bought by Mr. Joseph Lilly and, by
+accident, again lost; and at the sale of Mr. Lilly's library, in 1871,
+it was again discovered and purchased for James F. Hunniwell, Esq., who
+has had one hundred copies printed for private circulation.
+
+Spelman was not the only Englishman with the savages. In the same year
+that Spelman was sold for a town, or saved by Pocahontas--whichever
+version being correct--Admiral Newport gave Powhatan a boy, named Thomas
+Salvage, in exchange for "Namontack, his trustie seruant." Spelman says
+Savage was murdered by the Indians, but there is a tradition that he
+lived nearly all his life with them; became possessor of a tract of land
+on the eastern shore by gift and that it remained in his family until
+within the last ten years, when it was sold by some of his descendants
+then living in Philadelphia. The authority for this statement is
+obtained in correspondence with Hon. Hugh B. Grigsby, LL. D., President
+of the Virginia Historical Society.
+
+Page 39.--To note to Jordan's Journey it may be added that a reference
+to this place is doubtless made when Smith says: "After the massacre
+many of the inhabitants fortified themselves against other attacks, and
+Master Samuel Iorden gathered but a few about him at Begger's Bush" (the
+title of one of Fletcher's comedies) "where he fortified."--Smith, p.
+150; Campbell, p. 164.
+
+Page 47.--The following may be added to the note on Glass House: "For
+glass they," the Indians, "knowe not, though the country wants not
+sal-sodiack enough to make glasse, and of which we have made some store
+in a goodly house sett up for the same purpose, a little without the
+island where Jamestown stands."--Strachey's Virginia Brittania (1612),
+p. 71. "To take care of Capt. Wm. Norton and certaine Italians sent to
+sitt a glass house."--Instructions to Sir Francis Wyatt (1621), Hening
+I., p. 116.
+
+Page 47.--To note on Warwick-Squrake add: "In the autumn of 1607, Capt.
+Smith, with "six or seaven in company," went to Kicoughtan to get food
+from the Indians by trade. On his return he discovered the town and
+county of Warraskoyack."--Smith, page 45.

+1.F.
+
+1.F.1.  Project Gutenberg volunteers and employees expend considerable
+effort to identify, do copyright research on, transcribe and proofread
+public domain works in creating the Project Gutenberg-tm
+collection.  Despite these efforts, Project Gutenberg-tm electronic
+works, and the medium on which they may be stored, may contain
+"Defects," such as, but not limited to, incomplete, inaccurate or
+corrupt data, transcription errors, a copyright or other intellectual
+property infringement, a defective or damaged disk or other medium, a
+computer virus, or computer codes that damage or cannot be read by
+your equipment.
+
+1.F.2.  LIMITED WARRANTY, DISCLAIMER OF DAMAGES - Except for the "Right
+of Replacement or Refund" described in paragraph 1.F.3, the Project
+Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation, the owner of the Project
+Gutenberg-tm trademark, and any other party distributing a Project
+Gutenberg-tm electronic work under this agreement, disclaim all

+fees.  YOU AGREE THAT YOU HAVE NO REMEDIES FOR NEGLIGENCE, STRICT

+defect in this electronic work within 90 days of receiving it, you can
+receive a refund of the money (if any) you paid for it by sending a
+written explanation to the person you received the work from.  If you
+received the work on a physical medium, you must return the medium with

+is also defective, you may demand a refund in writing without further
+opportunities to fix the problem.
+
+1.F.4.  Except for the limited right of replacement or refund set forth
+in paragraph 1.F.3, this work is provided to you 'AS-IS', WITH NO OTHER

+
+1.F.5.  Some states do not allow disclaimers of certain implied
+warranties or the exclusion or limitation of certain types of damages.
+If any disclaimer or limitation set forth in this agreement violates the
+law of the state applicable to this agreement, the agreement shall be
+interpreted to make the maximum disclaimer or limitation permitted by
+the applicable state law.  The invalidity or unenforceability of any
+provision of this agreement shall not void the remaining provisions.
+
+1.F.6.  INDEMNITY - You agree to indemnify and hold the Foundation, the
+trademark owner, any agent or employee of the Foundation, anyone
+providing copies of Project Gutenberg-tm electronic works in accordance
+with this agreement, and any volunteers associated with the production,
+promotion and distribution of Project Gutenberg-tm electronic works,
+harmless from all liability, costs and expenses, including legal fees,
+that arise directly or indirectly from any of the following which you do
+or cause to occur: (a) distribution of this or any Project Gutenberg-tm
+work, (b) alteration, modification, or additions or deletions to any
+Project Gutenberg-tm work, and (c) any Defect you cause.
+
+
+Section  2.  Information about the Mission of Project Gutenberg-tm
+
+Project Gutenberg-tm is synonymous with the free distribution of
+electronic works in formats readable by the widest variety of computers
+including obsolete, old, middle-aged and new computers.  It exists
+because of the efforts of hundreds of volunteers and donations from
+people in all walks of life.
+
+Volunteers and financial support to provide volunteers with the
+assistance they need, is critical to reaching Project Gutenberg-tm's
+goals and ensuring that the Project Gutenberg-tm collection will
+remain freely available for generations to come.  In 2001, the Project
+Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation was created to provide a secure
+and permanent future for Project Gutenberg-tm and future generations.
+To learn more about the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation
+and how your efforts and donations can help, see Sections 3 and 4
+and the Foundation web page at http://www.gutenberg.org/fundraising/pglaf.

+Section 4.  Information about Donations to the Project Gutenberg
+Literary Archive Foundation
+
+Project Gutenberg-tm depends upon and cannot survive without wide
+spread public support and donations to carry out its mission of
+increasing the number of public domain and licensed works that can be
+freely distributed in machine readable form accessible by the widest
+array of equipment including outdated equipment.  Many small donations
+($1 to $5,000) are particularly important to maintaining tax exempt
+status with the IRS.
+
+The Foundation is committed to complying with the laws regulating
+charities and charitable donations in all 50 states of the United
+States.  Compliance requirements are not uniform and it takes a
+considerable effort, much paperwork and many fees to meet and keep up
+with these requirements.  We do not solicit donations in locations
+where we have not received written confirmation of compliance.  To
+SEND DONATIONS or determine the status of compliance for any
+particular state visit http://www.gutenberg.org/fundraising/donate
+
+While we cannot and do not solicit contributions from states where we
+have not met the solicitation requirements, we know of no prohibition
+against accepting unsolicited donations from donors in such states who
+approach us with offers to donate.
+
+International donations are gratefully accepted, but we cannot make
+any statements concerning tax treatment of donations received from
+outside the United States.  U.S. laws alone swamp our small staff.
+
+Please check the Project Gutenberg Web pages for current donation
+methods and addresses.  Donations are accepted in a number of other
+ways including checks, online payments and credit card donations.

+Section 5.  General Information About Project Gutenberg-tm electronic
+works.
+
+Professor Michael S. Hart is the originator of the Project Gutenberg-tm
+concept of a library of electronic works that could be freely shared
+with anyone.  For thirty years, he produced and distributed Project
+Gutenberg-tm eBooks with only a loose network of volunteer support.
+
+Project Gutenberg-tm eBooks are often created from several printed
+editions, all of which are confirmed as Public Domain in the U.S.
+unless a copyright notice is included.  Thus, we do not necessarily
+keep eBooks in compliance with any particular paper edition.
+
+Most people start at our Web site which has the main PG search facility:
+
+     http://www.gutenberg.org
+
+This Web site includes information about Project Gutenberg-tm,
+including how to make donations to the Project Gutenberg Literary
+Archive Foundation, how to help produce our new eBooks, and how to
+subscribe to our email newsletter to hear about new eBooks.

+
+<h2 class="space">INTRODUCTION.</h2>
+
+<p>The documents herewith presented are printed from copies obtained from the Public
+Record Office of Great Britain. When the question of the boundary line between
+Maryland and Virginia was before the Legislature of the latter State, in 1860, Colonel
+Angus W. McDonald was sent to England to obtain the papers necessary to protect the
+interests of Virginia. He brought back "nine volumes of manuscripts and one book containing
+forty-eight maps" (see his report, Virginia Legislative Documents, No. 39, 1861,).
+The volumes of manuscripts contained, upon an average, 425 pages each, and were filled
+with valuable historical documents, of many of which no copies had ever been seen on
+this continent since the originals were sent from the Colony of Virginia. In a conversation
+with the writer, held soon after his return from England, in March, 1861, Colonel
+McDonald stated that having obtained copies of all the documents relating to the
+question of the boundary line which could be found, and having more money left of the
+appropriation made than was needed to pay the expenses of his return home, he decided
+to devote the surplus to obtaining copies of papers relating to the early history of the
+State, without reference to the question of the boundary line. This statement will, we
+presume, satisfactorily account for the presence in his collection of such papers as do not
+relate to the subject upon which he was engaged. That he was well qualified to select
+such papers is evident from an examination of the list which he made out.</p>
+
+<p>During the occupation of the State capital building by the Federal troops and
+officials, after the surrender of the Confederate authorities in April, 1865, a very large
+quantity of the official documents filed in the archives of the State were removed from
+that building, and at the same time four of the nine volumes and the portfolio of maps
+above mentioned. Nothing has been heard from any of them since. In 1870, the question
+of the boundary line being again before the Legislature of Virginia, the Governor sent
+the Hon. D.C. De Jarnette upon the same errand that Colonel McDonald had so well
+performed, and the result was the obtaining of such papers as he could find relating to
+the subject under consideration, including duplicates of some of those which though useful
+in this connection, are included in the five volumes remaining of those collected by Col.
+McDonald; also, charters of great length, but which are to be found in print in the
+histories and statutes of the State, and many of the miscellaneous papers which Colonel
+McDonald had copied under the circumstances above named. Among the latter is the
+account of the first meeting of the Assembly at Jamestown in 1619. When Colonel
+McDonald visited the State Paper Office (as it was then called) in 1860, this great
+repository of historical materials had not been thrown open to the public, and he
+tells us in his report that it was "twenty days after his arrival in London before he
+could obtain permission to examine the archives of the State Paper Office." A year or
+two afterwards all of the restrictions which had existed were removed, the papers<span class='pagenum'><a name="Page_iv" id="Page_iv">[Pg&nbsp;iv]</a></span>
+arranged chronologically, and an index made by which they could be referred to.
+Farther, W. Noel Sainsbury, Esq., one of the officers of what is now called the Public
+Record Office, had published a calendar of all the papers relating to the British colonies
+in North America and the West Indies, from the first discoveries to 1660 (soon
+be followed by another coming down to the period of the independence of the United
+States), which contains a brief abstract of every paper included in the above named period,
+so that enquirers upon subjects embraced in this calendar can by reference see
+what the office has on file relating to it, and obtain copies of the documents required,
+at a much less cost than a voyage to England. Acting upon this knowledge, the Library
+Committee of the Virginia Legislature has made a contract with Mr. Sainsbury for copies
+of the titles and copious abstracts of every paper in the Public Record Office, and other
+repositories, which relates to the history of Virginia while a Colony. All of which he proposes
+to furnish for about &pound;250, being less than one-half the cost of either of the missions
+sent, which have obtained only a small fraction of the papers which we are to receive.
+He is performing his work in a most satisfactory manner; so much is he interested in
+the task that he has greatly exceeded his agreement by furnishing gratuitously full and
+complete copies of many documents of more than ordinary interest. Yet notwithstanding
+the known facilities afforded by the British Government and its officials, Mr.
+De Jarnette complains that he was refused permission to examine the Rolls Office and
+the State Paper Office (see his report, Senate Documents Session 1871-'2, p. 12); and
+further, on page 15, he informs us that the papers which he obtained "had to be dug
+from a mountain of Colonial records with care and labor." His troubles were further
+increased by the fact that "the Colonial papers are not arranged under heads of respective
+Colonies, but thrown promiscuously together and constitute an immense mass
+of ill kept and badly written records," ib. p. 22.</p>
+
+<p>The reader will infer from the preceding remarks that the State has two complete
+copies of the record of the proceedings of the first Assembly which met at Jamestown,
+viz: the McDonald and the De Jarnette copies, and also an abstract furnished by Mr.
+Sainsbury. Bancroft, the historian, obtained a copy of this paper, which was printed in
+the collections of the New York Historical Society for 1857. We have therefore been
+enabled to compare three different versions, and in a measure, a fourth. The De Jarnette
+copy being in loose sheets, written on one side only, was selected as the most convenient
+for the printer, and the text is printed from it. Where this differs from either
+of the others the foot notes show the differences, and, when no reference is made it is
+because all of them correspond.</p>
+
+<p>When these papers were submitted as a part of the report of the Commissioners on
+the Boundary Line a joint resolution was adopted by both houses of the Legislature authorizing
+the Committee on the Library to print such of the papers as might be selected,
+provided the consent of the Commission could be obtained. Application was made to
+allow the first and second papers in this pamphlet to be printed but it was refused. The
+Commission having been dissolved the Committee on the Library have assumed the responsibility
+and herewith submit this instalment of these interesting documents, which
+were written before the Colony of Maryland was known, and all of which, save the first,
+were never before printed.</p>
+
+<p>The Report of the proceedings of the first Assembly is prefaced with the introductory
+note published with Mr. Bancroft's copy, to which a few notes explanatory have
+been added.<span class='pagenum'><a name="Page_v" id="Page_v">[Pg&nbsp;v]</a></span></p>
+
+<p>Trusting that this instalment of these historical records of the Ancient Dominion
+will be acceptable to the students of our early history, and sufficiently impress the members
+of the Legislature with their value to move them to make an appropriation sufficient
+to print all that has been obtained, this is</p>

+<h2 class="space"><i>INTRODUCTORY NOTE.</i></h2>
+
+<p>Virginia, for twelve years after its settlement, languished under the government of
+Sir Thomas Smith, Treasurer of the Virginia Company in England. The Colony was
+ruled during that period by laws written in blood; and its history shows how the narrow
+selfishness of despotic power could counteract the best efforts of benevolence. The colonists
+suffered an extremity of distress too horrible to be described.</p>
+
+<p>In April, 1619, Sir George Yeardley arrived. Of the emigrants who had been sent
+over at great cost, not one in twenty then remained alive. "In James Citty were only
+those houses that Sir Thomas Gates built in the tyme of his government, with one
+wherein the Governor allwayes dwelt, and a church, built wholly at the charge of the
+inhabitants of that citye, of timber, being fifty foote in length and twenty foot in
+breadth." At Henrico, now Richmond, there were no more than "three old houses, a
+poor ruinated Church, with some few poore buildings in the Islande."<a name="FNanchor_1_5" id="FNanchor_1_5"></a><a href="#Footnote_1_5" class="fnanchor">[1]</a> "For ministers
+to instruct the people, he founde only three authorized, two others who never received
+their orders." "The natives he founde uppon doubtfull termes;" so that when the
+twelve years of Sir Thomas Smith's government expired, Virginia, according to the
+"judgements" of those who were then members of the Colony, was "in a poore
+estate."<a name="FNanchor_A_1" id="FNanchor_A_1"></a><a href="#Footnote_A_1" class="fnanchor">[A]</a></p>
+
+<p>From the moment of Yeardley's arrival dates the real life of Virginia. He brought
+with him "Commissions and instructions from the Company for the better establishinge
+of a Commonwealth heere."<a name="FNanchor_B_2" id="FNanchor_B_2"></a><a href="#Footnote_B_2" class="fnanchor">[B]</a> He made proclamation, "that those cruell lawes by
+which we" (I use the words of the Ancient Planters themselves) "had soe longe been
+governed, were now abrogated, and that we were to be governed by those free
+lawes which his Majesties subjectes live under in Englande." Nor were these considerations
+made dependent on the good will of administrative officers.</p>
+
+<p>"And that they might have a hande in the governinge of themselves," such are the
+words of the Planters, "yt was graunted that a generall Assemblie shoulde be helde
+yearly once, whereat were to be present the Gov<sup>r</sup> and Counsell w<sup>th</sup> two Burgesses from
+each Plantation, freely to be elected by the Inhabitants thereof, this Assemblie to have
+power to make and ordaine whatsoever lawes and orders should by them be thought
+good and proffitable for our subsistance."<a name="FNanchor_C_3" id="FNanchor_C_3"></a><a href="#Footnote_C_3" class="fnanchor">[C]</a></p>
+
+<p>In conformity with these instructions, Sir George Yeardley "sente his summons all
+over the country, as well to invite those of the Counsell of Estate that were absente, as
+also for the election of Burgesses;"<a name="FNanchor_D_4" id="FNanchor_D_4"></a><a href="#Footnote_D_4" class="fnanchor">[D]</a> and on Friday, the 30th day of July, 1619, the first
+elective legislative body of this continent assembled at James City.<span class='pagenum'><a name="Page_vii" id="Page_vii">[Pg&nbsp;vii]</a></span></p>
+
+<p>In the relation of Master John Rolfe, inserted by Captain John Smith in his History
+of Virginia,<a name="FNanchor_E_7" id="FNanchor_E_7"></a><a href="#Footnote_E_7" class="fnanchor">[E]</a> there is this meagre notice of the Assembly: "The 25 of June came
+in the <i>Triall</i> with Corne and Cattell in all safety, which tooke from vs cleerely all
+feare of famine; then our gouernor and councell caused Burgesses to be chosen in all
+places and met at a generall Assembly, where all matters were debated thought expedient
+for the good of the Colony."</p>
+
+<p>This account did not attract the attention of Beverley, the early historian of Virginia,
+who denies that there was any Assembly held there before May, 1620.<a name="FNanchor_F_8" id="FNanchor_F_8"></a><a href="#Footnote_F_8" class="fnanchor">[F]</a></p>
+
+<p>The careful Stith, whose work is not to be corrected without a hearty recognition
+of his superior diligence and exemplary fidelity, gives an account<a name="FNanchor_G_9" id="FNanchor_G_9"></a><a href="#Footnote_G_9" class="fnanchor">[G]</a> of this first legislative

+
+<p>The prosperity of Virginia begins with the day when it received, as "a commonwealth,"
+the freedom to make laws for itself. In a solemn address to King James,
+which was made during the government of Sir Francis Wyatt, and bears the signature of
+the Governor, Council, and apparently every member of the Assembly, a contrast is
+drawn between the former "miserable bondage," and "this just and gentle authoritye
+which hath cherished us of late by more worthy magistrates. And we, our wives and
+poor children shall ever pray to God, as our bounden duty is, to give you in this worlde
+all increase of happines, and to crowne you in the worlde to come w<sup>th</sup> immortall
+glorye."<a name="FNanchor_H_10" id="FNanchor_H_10"></a><a href="#Footnote_H_10" class="fnanchor">[H]</a></p>
+
+<p>A desire has long existed to recover the record of the proceedings of the Assembly
+which inaugurated so happy a revolution. Stith was unable to find it; no traces of it
+were met by Jefferson; and Hening,<a name="FNanchor_I_11" id="FNanchor_I_11"></a><a href="#Footnote_I_11" class="fnanchor">[I]</a> and those who followed Hening, believed it no
+longer extant. Indeed, it was given up as hopelessly lost.</p>
+
+<p>Having, during a long period of years, instituted a very thorough research among
+the papers relating to America in the British State Paper Office, partly in person and
+partly with the assistance of able and intelligent men employed in that Department, I
+have at last been so fortunate as to obtain the "Proceedings of the First Assembly of
+Virginia."<a name="FNanchor_5_14" id="FNanchor_5_14"></a><a href="#Footnote_5_14" class="fnanchor">[5]</a> the document is in the form of "a reporte" from the Speaker; and is<span class='pagenum'><a name="Page_viii" id="Page_viii">[Pg&nbsp;viii]</a></span>
+more fall and circumstantial than any subsequent journal of early legislation in the
+Ancient Dominion.</p>
+
+<p>Many things are noticeable. The Governor and Council sat with the Burgesses;
+and took part in motions and debates. The Secretary of the Colony was chosen Speaker,
+and I am not sure that he was a Burgess.<a name="FNanchor_6_15" id="FNanchor_6_15"></a><a href="#Footnote_6_15" class="fnanchor">[6]</a> This first American Assembly set the precedent
+of beginning legislation with prayer. It is evident that Virginia was then as
+thoroughly a Church of England colony, as Connecticut afterwards was a Calvinistic
+one. The inauguration of legislative power in the Ancient Dominion preceded the existence
+of negro slavery, which we will believe it is destined also to survive. The earliest
+Assembly in the oldest of the original thirteen States, at its first session, took measures
+"towards the erecting of" a "University and Colledge." Care was also taken for the
+education of Indian children. Extravagance in dress was not prohibited, but the ministers
+were to profit by a tax on excess in apparel. On the whole, the record of these
+Proceedings will justify the opinion of Sir Edward Sandys, that "they were very well
+and judiciously carried." The different functions of government may have been confounded
+and the laws were not framed according to any speculative theory; but a perpetual
+interest attaches to the first elective body representing the people of Virginia,
+more than a year before the Mayflower, with the Pilgrims, left the harbor of Southampton,
+and while Virginia was still the oldest British Colony on the whole Continent of
+America.</p>

+his name would have appeared with the others. Through the influence of the Earl at Warwick he was made Secretary to the
+Virginia Company. Campbell says, "He was educated at Cambridge, where he took the Master of Arts in April, 1610. It is
+supposed he was a member of the House of Commons. He was much of a traveller, and was at Venice in 1613, at Amsterdam
+in 1617, and shortly after at Paris." "Sir George Yeardley appointed him one of his Council."&mdash;Campbell, p. 139. The record
+shows that he acted as the presiding officer of the first Assembly, whether <i>ex officio</i> or by selection is not stated. It will be seen
+that a typographical error in Bancroft's pamphlet makes his name Povy. In Smith's General Historie there is a paper styled
+"The observations of Master John Pory, Secretarie of Virginia, in his travels;" it gives an account of his voyage to the eastern
+shore.&mdash;Smith, p. 141. Neill says of him, "John Pory was a graduate of Cambridge, a great traveller and good writer, but gained
+the reputation of being a chronic tipler and literary vagabond and sponger." When young he excited the interest of Hakluyt,
+who, in a dedication to the third volume of his, remarks: "Now, because long since I did foresee that my profession of Divinitie,
+the care of my family; and other occasions, might call or divert me from these kind of endeavour, I, therefore have, for these
+three years last past, encouraged and gathered in these studies of Cosmographia and former histories my honest, industrious
+and learned friend, Mr. John Porey, one of speciall skill and extraordinary hope, to perform great matters in the same, and
+beneficial to the Commonwealth." "Pory, in 1600, prepared a <i>Geographical History of Africa</i>, but he soon disappointed the
+expectations of his friends."
+</p>
+
+<p>A letter from London, dated July 26, 1623, says: "Our old acquaintance, Mr. Porey, is in poore case, and in prison at the
+Terceras, whither he was driven by contrary winds, from the north coast of Virginia, where he had been upon some discovery,
+and upon his arrival he was arraigned and in danger of being hanged for a pirate." "He died about 1635." For further particulars
+from contemporary authorities, see Neill's History of the Virginia Company of London. Albany, Munsell, 1869.&mdash;<span class="smcap">Ed.</span></p></div></div>

+<p>The most convenient place we could finde to sitt in was the Quire
+of the Churche Where Sir George Yeardley, the Governour, being
+sett downe in his accustomed place, those of the Counsel of Estate sate
+nexte him on both handes, excepte onely the Secretary then appointed
+Speaker, who sate right before him, John Twine, clerke<a name="FNanchor_12_24" id="FNanchor_12_24"></a><a href="#Footnote_12_24" class="fnanchor">[12]</a> of the General
+assembly, being placed nexte the Speaker, and Thomas Pierse, the Sergeant,
+standing at the barre, to be ready for any service the Assembly
+shoulde comaund<a name="FNanchor_13_25" id="FNanchor_13_25"></a><a href="#Footnote_13_25" class="fnanchor">[13]</a> him. But forasmuche as men's affaires doe little
+prosper where God's service is neglected, all the Burgesses tooke their
+places in the Quire till a prayer was said by Mr. Bucke, the Minister,
+that it would please God to guide and sanctifie all our proceedings<a name="FNanchor_14_26" id="FNanchor_14_26"></a><a href="#Footnote_14_26" class="fnanchor">[14]</a> to
+his owne glory and the good of this Plantation. Prayer being ended,
+to the intente that as we<a name="FNanchor_15_27" id="FNanchor_15_27"></a><a href="#Footnote_15_27" class="fnanchor">[15]</a> had begun at God Almighty, so we<a name="FNanchor_16_28" id="FNanchor_16_28"></a><a href="#Footnote_16_28" class="fnanchor">[16]</a> might
+proceed w<sup>th</sup> awful and due respecte towards the Lieutenant, our most
+gratious and dread Soveraigne, all the Burgesses were intreatted to
+<span class='pagenum'><a name="Page_11" id="Page_11">[Pg&nbsp;11]</a></span>retyre themselves into the body of the Churche, w<sup>ch</sup> being done, before
+they were fully admitted, they were called in order and by name, and
+so every man (none staggering at it) tooke the oathe of Supremacy,
+and then entred<a name="FNanchor_17_29" id="FNanchor_17_29"></a><a href="#Footnote_17_29" class="fnanchor">[17]</a> the Assembly. At Captaine Warde the Speaker
+tooke exception, as at one that without any Comission or authority had
+seatted himselfe either upon the Companies, and then his Plantation
+would not be lawfull, or on Captain Martin's lande, and so<a name="FNanchor_18_30" id="FNanchor_18_30"></a><a href="#Footnote_18_30" class="fnanchor">[18]</a> he was but
+a limbe or member of him, and there could be but two Burgesses for
+all. So Captaine Warde was comanded to absente himselfe till such
+time as the Assembly had agreed what was fitt for him to doe. After
+muche debate, they resolved on this order following:</p>
+
+<div class="blockquot"><p>An order concluded by the General assembly
+concerning Captaine Warde, July 30<sup>th</sup>,<a name="FNanchor_19_31" id="FNanchor_19_31"></a><a href="#Footnote_19_31" class="fnanchor">[19]</a>
+1619, at the opening of the said Assembly.</p></div>
+
+<p>At the reading of the names of the Burgesses, Exception was
+taken against Captaine Warde as having planted here in Virginia
+without any authority or comission from the Tresurer, Counsell and
+Company in Englande. But considering he had bene at so great
+chardge and paines to augmente this Colony, and had adventured his
+owne person in the action, and since that time had brought home a
+good<a name="FNanchor_20_32" id="FNanchor_20_32"></a><a href="#Footnote_20_32" class="fnanchor">[20]</a> quantity of fishe, to relieve the Colony by waye of trade, and
+above all, because the Comission for authorising the General Assembly
+admitteth of two Burgesses out of every plantation w<sup>th</sup>out restrainte or
+exception. Upon all these considerations, the Assembly was contented
+to admitt of him and his Lieutenant (as members of their body and
+Burgesses) into their society. Provided, that the said Captaine Warde,
+w<sup>th</sup> all expedition, that is to saye between this and the nexte general
+assembly (all lawful impediments excepted), should procure from the
+Tresurer,<a name="FNanchor_21_33" id="FNanchor_21_33"></a><a href="#Footnote_21_33" class="fnanchor">[21]</a> Counsell and Company in England a comission lawfully to
+establish<a name="FNanchor_22_34" id="FNanchor_22_34"></a><a href="#Footnote_22_34" class="fnanchor">[22]</a> and plant himselfe and his Company as the Chieffs<a name="FNanchor_23_35" id="FNanchor_23_35"></a><a href="#Footnote_23_35" class="fnanchor">[23]</a> of other
+Plantations have done. And in case he doe neglect this he is to stande
+to the censure of the nexte generall assembly. To this Captaine
+Warde, in the presence of us all, having given his consente and undertaken
+to performe the same, was, together w<sup>th</sup> his Lieutenant, by voices
+of the whole Assembly first admitted to take the oath of Supremacy,
+and then to make up their number and to sitt amongst them.</p>
+
+<p>This being done, the Governour himselfe alledged that before we
+proceeded any further it behooved us to examine whither it were fitt,
+that Captaine Martin's Burgesses shoulde<a name="FNanchor_24_36" id="FNanchor_24_36"></a><a href="#Footnote_24_36" class="fnanchor">[24]</a> have any place in the Assembly,
+forasmuche as he hath a clause in his Patente w<sup>ch</sup> doth not

+make in the General Assembly. That clause is as followeth: Item.
+That it shall and may be lawfull to and for the said Captain John Martin,
+his heyers, executours and assignes to governe and comaunde all
+suche<a name="FNanchor_28_40" id="FNanchor_28_40"></a><a href="#Footnote_28_40" class="fnanchor">[28]</a> person or persons as at this time he shall carry over with him,

+
+<p>Upon the<a name="FNanchor_31_44" id="FNanchor_31_44"></a><a href="#Footnote_31_44" class="fnanchor">[31]</a> motion of the Governour, discussed the same time in

+they not mett w<sup>th</sup> a Canoa coming out of a creeke where their shallop

+(as the said Ensigne Harrison saith) giving them satisfaction in copper

+extreame sickly, and therefore not able to passe through long harangues,

+easily be raised.</p>
+
+<p>The thirde Petition humbly presented by this General Assembly to
+the Treasurer, Counsell &amp; Company is, that it may plainely be expressed
+in the great Comission (as indeed it is not) that the antient Planters of
+both sortes, viz., suche as before Sir Thomas Dales' depart<a name="FNanchor_104_118" id="FNanchor_104_118"></a><a href="#Footnote_104_118" class="fnanchor">[104]</a> were come

+hither upon the Companie's coste, maye have their second, third and
+more divisions successively in as lardge and free manner as any other
+Planters. Also that they wilbe pleased to allowe to the male children,
+of them and of all others begotten in Virginia, being the onely hope of
+a posterity, a single share a piece, and shares for their issues or<a name="FNanchor_106_120" id="FNanchor_106_120"></a><a href="#Footnote_106_120" class="fnanchor">[106]</a> for
+themselves, because that in a newe plantation it is not knowen whether
+man or woman be the more necessary.</p>
+
+<p>Their fourth Petition is to beseech the Treasurer, Counsell &amp; Company
+that they would be pleased to appoint a Sub-Tresurer<a name="FNanchor_107_121" id="FNanchor_107_121"></a><a href="#Footnote_107_121" class="fnanchor">[107]</a> here to

+be not tyed to an impossibility of paying the same yearly to the Treasurer
+in England, and that they would enjoine the said Sub-Treasurer
+not precisely according to the letter of the Charter to exacte mony of
+us (whereof we have none at all, as we have no minte), but the true
+value of the rente in comodity.</p>
+
+<p>The fifte Petition is to beseeche the Treasurer, Counsell &amp; Company
+that, towards the erecting of the University and Colledge, they
+will sende, when they shall thinke<a name="FNanchor_110_124" id="FNanchor_110_124"></a><a href="#Footnote_110_124" class="fnanchor">[110]</a> it most convenient, workmen of all

+name of Kiccowtan, and to give that Incorporation a newe name.</p>
+
+<p>These are the general Petitions drawen by the Comitties out of

+the honourable construction of the Treasurer, Counsell and Company
+in England.</p>
+
+<p>These petitions thus concluded on, those twoe Comitties broughte<span class='pagenum'><a name="Page_17" id="Page_17">[Pg&nbsp;17]</a></span>
+me<a name="FNanchor_114_128" id="FNanchor_114_128"></a><a href="#Footnote_114_128" class="fnanchor">[114]</a> a reporte what they had observed in the two latter bookes, w<sup>ch</sup>
+was nothing else but that the perfection of them was suche as that<a name="FNanchor_115_129" id="FNanchor_115_129"></a><a href="#Footnote_115_129" class="fnanchor">[115]</a>
+they could finde nothing therein subject to exception, only the Governo<sup>rs</sup><a name="FNanchor_116_130" id="FNanchor_116_130"></a><a href="#Footnote_116_130" class="fnanchor">[116]</a>
+particular opinion to my selfe in private hathe bene as touching
+a clause in the thirde booke, that in these doubtfull times between
+us and the Indians, it would beehoove<a name="FNanchor_117_131" id="FNanchor_117_131"></a><a href="#Footnote_117_131" class="fnanchor">[117]</a> us not to make as<a name="FNanchor_118_132" id="FNanchor_118_132"></a><a href="#Footnote_118_132" class="fnanchor">[118]</a> lardge
+distances between Plantation and Plantation as ten miles, but for our
+more strength ande security to drawe nearer together.</p>
+
+<p>At the same time, there remaining no<a name="FNanchor_119_133" id="FNanchor_119_133"></a><a href="#Footnote_119_133" class="fnanchor">[119]</a> farther scruple in the
+mindes of the Assembly touching the said great Charter of lawes, orders
+and priviledges, the Speaker putt the same to the question, and
+so it had both the general assent and the applause of the whole assembly,
+who, as they professed themselves in the first place most submissively
+thankfull to almighty god, therefore so they commaunded the
+Speaker to returne (as nowe he doth) their due and humble thankes
+to the Treasurer, Counsell and company for so many priviledges and
+favours as well in their owne names as in the names of the whole Colony
+whom they represented.</p>
+
+<p>This being dispatched we fell once more<a name="FNanchor_120_134" id="FNanchor_120_134"></a><a href="#Footnote_120_134" class="fnanchor">[120]</a> debating of suche instructions

+at 18d the pounde. At the reading of this the Assembly thought
+good to send for Mr. Abraham Persey, the Cape marchant, to publishe
+this instruction to him, and to demaunde<a name="FNanchor_124_138" id="FNanchor_124_138"></a><a href="#Footnote_124_138" class="fnanchor">[124]</a> of him if he knewe of any

+Captaine Henry Spellman<a name="FNanchor_414_428" id="FNanchor_414_428"></a><a href="#Footnote_414_428" class="fnanchor">[414]</a> was called to the barre to answere
+to certaine misdemeano<sup>rs</sup> layde to his chardge by Robert Poole, interpretour,
+upon his oath (whose examination the Governo<sup>r</sup> sente into
+England in the Prosperus), of w<sup>ch</sup> accusations of Poole some he acknowledged
+for true, but the greattest<a name="FNanchor_415_429" id="FNanchor_415_429"></a><a href="#Footnote_415_429" class="fnanchor">[415]</a> part he denyed. Whereupon
+the General<a name="FNanchor_416_430" id="FNanchor_416_430"></a><a href="#Footnote_416_430" class="fnanchor">[416]</a> Assembly, having throughly heard and considered his
+speaches, did constitute this order following against him:</p>
+
+<p class="center"><span class="smcap">Aug.</span> 4<sup>th</sup>, 1619.</p>
+
+<p>This day Captaine Henry Spelman<a name="FNanchor_417_431" id="FNanchor_417_431"></a><a href="#Footnote_417_431" class="fnanchor">[417]</a> was convented before the
+General Assembly and was examined by a relation upon oath of one
+Robert Poole, Interpreter, what conference had passed between the
+said Spelman<a name="FNanchor_418_432" id="FNanchor_418_432"></a><a href="#Footnote_418_432" class="fnanchor">[418]</a> and Opochancano at Poole's meeting with him in
+Opochancano's courte. Poole chardgeth him he spake very unreverently
+and maliciously against<a name="FNanchor_419_433" id="FNanchor_419_433"></a><a href="#Footnote_419_433" class="fnanchor">[419]</a> this present Govern<sup>r</sup>,<a name="FNanchor_420_434" id="FNanchor_420_434"></a><a href="#Footnote_420_434" class="fnanchor">[420]</a> wherby the
+honour and dignity of his place and person, and so of the whole Colonie,
+might be brought into contempte, by w<sup>ch</sup> meanes what mischiefs might
+ensue from the Indians by disturbance of the peace or otherwise, may
+easily be conjectured. Some thinges of this relation Spelman confessed,
+but the most parte he denyed, excepte onely one matter of importance,
+&amp; that was that he hade informed Opochancano that w<sup>th</sup>in a yeare
+there would come a Governo<sup>r</sup><a name="FNanchor_421_435" id="FNanchor_421_435"></a><a href="#Footnote_421_435" class="fnanchor">[421]</a> greatter then<a name="FNanchor_422_436" id="FNanchor_422_436"></a><a href="#Footnote_422_436" class="fnanchor">[422]</a> this that nowe is in
+place. By w<sup>ch</sup> and by other reportes it seemeth he hath alienated the
+minde of Opochancano from this present Governour, and brought him
+in much disesteem, both w<sup>th</sup> Opochancano<a name="FNanchor_423_437" id="FNanchor_423_437"></a><a href="#Footnote_423_437" class="fnanchor">[423]</a> and the Indians, and the
+whole Colony in danger of their slippery designes.</p>
+
+<p>The general assembly upon Poole's testimony onely not willing to
+putt Spelman to the rigour and extremity of the lawe, w<sup>ch</sup> might, perhaps
+both speedily and deservedly, have taken his life from him (upon
+the witness<a name="FNanchor_424_438" id="FNanchor_424_438"></a><a href="#Footnote_424_438" class="fnanchor">[424]</a> of one whom he muche excepted against) were pleased,
+for the present, to censure him rather out of that his confession above
+written then<a name="FNanchor_425_439" id="FNanchor_425_439"></a><a href="#Footnote_425_439" class="fnanchor">[425]</a> out of any other prooffe. Several and sharpe punishments
+were pronounced against<a name="FNanchor_426_440" id="FNanchor_426_440"></a><a href="#Footnote_426_440" class="fnanchor">[426]</a> him by diverse of the Assembly, But
+in fine the whole course<a name="FNanchor_427_441" id="FNanchor_427_441"></a><a href="#Footnote_427_441" class="fnanchor">[427]</a> by voices united did encline to the most favourable,
+w<sup>ch</sup> was that for this misdemeanour<a name="FNanchor_428_442" id="FNanchor_428_442"></a><a href="#Footnote_428_442" class="fnanchor">[428]</a> he should first be degraded
+of his title of Captaine,<a name="FNanchor_429_443" id="FNanchor_429_443"></a><a href="#Footnote_429_443" class="fnanchor">[429]</a> at the head of the troupe, and should
+be condemned to performe seven yeares service to the Colony in the
+nature of Interpreter to the Governour.</p>
+
+<p>This sentence being read to Spelman he, as one that had in him
+more of the Savage then of the Christian, muttered certaine wordes to<span class='pagenum'><a name="Page_30" id="Page_30">[Pg&nbsp;30]</a></span>
+himselfe neither shewing any remorse for his offences, nor yet any
+thankfulness to the Assembly for theire sofavourable censure, w<sup>ch</sup> he at
+one time or another (God's grace not wholly abandoning him) might
+w<sup>th</sup> some one service have been able to have redeemed.<a name="FNanchor_O_444" id="FNanchor_O_444"></a><a href="#Footnote_O_444" class="fnanchor">[O]</a></p>

+
+<p>The paper from which this document is printed is to be found in the first volume of
+the McDonald papers. It is such a census of the inhabitants of the colony as the historical
+student would like to see made out at several other periods of our colonial
+history. We can find no legal enactment requiring such a census to be taken, and no
+order to that effect, save in the Instructions to Governor Wyatt, dated 24th July, 1621,
+where, among other things, he is directed "To make a catalogue of the people in every
+plantation, and their conditions; and of deaths, marriages and christenings."&mdash;Hening,
+Vol. I., p. 115.</p>
+
+<p>The entries are as brief as possible, no middle names are given, and foreigners are
+entered according to nationality, or not more than one name allowed them. Not the
+least curious is the small number of negroes. Rolfe states, "About the last of August
+(1619) came in a Dutch man of warre that sold us twenty Negors" (Smith, p. 126), and
+nearly five years after, when this census was taken, there were but twenty-two in the
+Colony.<span class='pagenum'><a name="Page_36" id="Page_36">[Pg&nbsp;36]</a></span></p>

+<p>This list being made up at James city this neck might be the one nearest to that place, and therefore

+Farrar's island, and which has been made an island in reality by the completion of the canal begun by the
+United States army during the late civil war and afterwards finished by the engineer department of the same,

+Smith, in his account of the attempt to murder him by the Dutchmen in 1608, says, "They sent Francis,
+their companion, disguised like a Salvage, to the Glasse-house, a place in the woods neare a myle from
+Iames Toune," &amp;c., Smith attempted to apprehend him, but he escaped, and after he had sent "20 shot
+after him; himself returning from the Glasse House alone," when he encountered the king of the Paspa
+heigh whom he defeated and "led him prisoner to Iames Toune and put him in chaynes." Smith (1627)
+pp. 83, 84.</p>
+
+<p>Stith says after the return of Newport from his expedition of discovery up James river "No sooner
+were they landed but the President (Smith) dispersed as many as were able, some to make Glass and others for
+Pitch," &amp;c.; and in 1609, "And now the Colony pursued their business with alacrity and success. They
+made three or four lasts of Tar, Pitch, and Soap ashes and produced a trial of glass," &amp;c., &amp;c. And
+in 1621, speaking of the subscriptions opened in England, he says, "The third roll was for a glass furnace
+to make beads, which was the current coin in the Indian trade; and one Captaine Norton, with some
+Italian workmen, was sent over for that purpose." See also Stith, pp. 95, 97, 197, 198. As the names of
+Vincentio and Benardo appear in the text, we may infer that some of the Italian workmen survived the
+massacre of 1622.</p></div>

+80,000 acres, part planted." Captaine Martin was made president by Capt. John Smith in 1609, but he did
+not desire the position and resigned. At the Assembly in 1619, he and the privileges named in his

+
+<p>The reader will perceive that the foregoing list of the dead reports only those who
+had died "since April last" (1622), consequently does not include the victims of the Indian
+massacre, which occurred on the 22d of March of that year. The number which fell
+by that diabolical conspiracy, as reported by Smith, amounted to 347, and in his Generall
+Historie, at page 149, he has a list of the numbers murdered at different places. Neill
+copies from the Records of the Virginia Company (now in the Congressional Library at
+Washington) a list of their names&mdash;see his "History of the Virginia Company," pp.
+339-346&mdash;and considering that it is proper to annex this to the list preceding we herewith
+give it. The total corresponds with the statement in Smith's Historie.</p>
+
+<p>The number of deaths in the census list shows a mortality amounting in one year
+to upwards of twenty per cent. of the whole population, exceeding the number which
+fell in the massacre by twenty-four. The fullest details of this and many other matters
+relating to the Colony while under the Virginia Company, can be found more fully
+shown in Neill's History of the Virginia Company than in any other work we have seen.</p>

+<h2 class="space">PREFACE.</h2>
+
+<p>The next paper presented in this collection is a copy of the one from which Mr.
+Bancroft quotes in his introductory note to the meeting of the first Assembly, referring to
+it as "MS. in my possession." This is printed from the copy among the McDonald
+papers, and with its title and endorsements no intimation is given as to the date of its
+preparation, its author or authors, to whom it was addressed, or the use intended to be
+made of it. These questions are, however, answered almost entirely by reference to the
+entries in "Sainsbury's Calendar of State Papers," which, on pp. 65-'6, has the following:
+"1624. July. Petition of Gov. Sir Francis Wyatt, the Council and Assembly
+of Virginia to the King. Have understood that his Majesty, notwithstanding the unjust
+disparagement of the Plantation, has taken it under his especial care; intreat that
+credit may not be given to the late declarations presented to his Majesty concerning the
+happy, but indeed miserable, estate of the Colony during the first twelve years (of Sir
+Thos. Smith's government), nor to the malicious imputations which have been laid
+upon the late government. Inclose the true state of both, and earnestly request that
+the present government may be continued. Pray that the King's tender compassion will
+not allow them to fall into the hands of Sir Thos. Smith or his confidents." Signed by
+Sir Fran. Wyatt, Capt. Fan. West, Sir George Yeardley and eighty-six others. <i>Inclose.</i>&mdash;"Brief
+Declaration of the Plantation," &amp;c., giving the whole title of this paper, verbatim,
+and a copious abstract of its contents. The earliest account of the horrors it relates
+is to be found in Smith's History, p. 105, in what is called "the examinations of Doctor
+Simons." This writer gives full details of the straits to which the Colonists were reduced
+and the expedients to which they resorted to appease hunger in 1609; adding,
+after the statements in regard to eating the Indian who had been buried several days
+and their eating "one another boyled, and stewed with rootes and herbes," the account
+of the man who "did kill his wife, powdered her, and had eaten part of her before it
+was known," and adding with a grim humour, "now whether shee was better roasted,
+boyled or carbonado'd, I know not, but of such a dish as powdered wife, I never heard
+of." His statements are copied, with more or less variation, by Beverley, Stith, Keith
+and Burke, but not one of them go into the disgusting and improbable details named in
+the "Brief Declaration." Campbell also reports the stories, but adds, in regard to the
+wife murderer, "upon his trial it appeared that cannibalism was feigned to palliate the
+murder," p. 93. Neill quotes from the Records of the Virginia Company, "The Tragical
+Relation of Virginia Assembly," which was transmitted to England about 1621; this
+was intended as a reply to a petition of Alderman Johnson and others, who had represented
+to the King that the reports in regard to Sir Thos. Smith's management were
+false, and desiring an investigation. These petitioners were members of a faction which
+desired to break up the Virginia Company. In the Relation of the Assembly, Smith
+is charged with all the cruelties to the Colonists which are mentioned in this "Brief<span class='pagenum'><a name="Page_68" id="Page_68">[Pg&nbsp;68]</a></span>
+Declaration"; torturing and starving to death being the punishments for minor offences;
+and asserting their confidence in the truth of these statements by concluding it with
+these words: "And rather to be reduced to live under the like government we desire
+his Ma<sup>ties</sup> commissioners may be sent over w<sup>th</sup> authoritie to hange us." This is signed by
+thirty members of the General Assembly, including among the names, those of George
+Sandys, the poet, traveller and Secretary of the Colony, and Raph Hamor, the chronicler&mdash;See
+Neill, pp. 407-411.</p>
+
+<p>There is another reference to this starving time (as it is called) and its accompanying
+horror, which should not be allowed to pass without notice. As above stated, the worst
+state of affairs was reported to have existed in 1609, and in the next year a pamphlet
+with the following title was issued, "A true declaration of the estate of the Colonie of
+Virginia, with a refutation of such scandalous reports as haue tended to the disgrace of
+so worthy an enterprise. Published by aduise and direction of the Councell of Virginia.
+London, 1610." The writer of which, after referring to the slanders which had
+been circulated in regard to Sir Thos. Smith's government, and especially of the story
+of the wife-eater, says, "Sir Thomas Gates thus relateth the tragedie," and then follows
+a long passage to the effect that "one of the companie mortally hated his wife," and
+having killed her and secreted her body after cutting it into peices; when it was
+found out he said she died and he had hid her to satiafie his hunger, and had fed daily
+upon her, but upon searching his house they found a large quantity of provisions.&mdash;See
+Force's tracts, Vol. III. The writers of the "Brief Declaration," and the "True Declaration,"
+must have seen this statement published ten or twelve years before they
+wrote, and it is a little remarkable that they should have persisted in repeating a story
+which was far from being well authentitcated, especially as the true statement did not
+need this addition to increase the odium incurred by the mismanagement of Sir Thos.
+Smith, the evidences of which are herein set forth.</p>
+
+<p>Stith reports the stories of the Indian "that had been slain and buried" being
+taken up and eaten, and "so did several others, one another that died," and also that of
+the man who "killed his wife and powdered her up, and eat the greater portion before it
+was discovered;" and adds, for many years after it was "remembered by the name of
+the <i>starving time</i>," p. 116-117. For many particulars nowhere else given, see Neill's
+History, pp. 407-411.</p>

+duringe the first Twelve Yeares, when Sir
+Thomas Smith was Governor of the Companie,
+&amp; downe to this present tyme. By the Ancient
+Planters nowe remaining alive in Virginia.</i></p></div>
+
+<p>Wheras in the beginninge of Sir Thomas Smith's twelve yeares
+government, it was published in printe throughout the Kingdome of
+Englande that a Plantation should be settled in Virginia for the glorie
+of God in the propogation of the Gospell of Christ, the conversion of
+the Savages, to the honour of his Majesty, by the enlargeinge of his
+territories and future enrichinge of his kingdome, for which respects
+many noble &amp; well minded persons were induced to adventure great
+sums of money to the advancement of soe pious &amp; noble a worke, who
+have from the very first been frustrate of their expectation, as wee conceive,
+by the misgovernment of Sir Thomas Smith, aiminge at nothinge
+more then a perticular gaine, to be raised out of the labours of such as
+both voluntarilie adventured themselves and were otherwise sent over
+at the common charge. This will cleerely appeare in the examination
+of the first expedition &amp; severall supplies in the tyme of his government.</p>
+
+<p>The first Plantation in Virginia consisted of one hundred persons,
+so slenderly provided for that before they had remained halfe a yeare
+in this new Collony they fell into extreame want, not havinge anything
+left to sustein them save a little ill conditioned Barley, which ground
+to meal &amp; pottage made thereof, one smale ladle full was allowed each
+person for a meale, without bread or aught else whatsoever, so that had
+not God, by his great providence, moved the Indians, then our utter
+enemies, to bringe us reliefe, we had all utterlie by famine perished.
+How unable so small a companye of people, soe poorely sent over,
+were to make way for such as shoulde followe, may easily be judged.</p>
+
+<p>The first supplie beinge two shippes, the John &amp; Francis &amp; Phenix,
+with one hundred &amp; twenty persons, worse every way provided for
+then the former, arrived heere about eight or nine months after &amp;
+found the Collony consistinge of no more then forty persons (of those)
+tenn only able men, the rest at point of death, all utterly destitute of
+howses, not one as yet built, so that they lodged in cabbins &amp; holes
+within the grounde; victualls they had none, save some small reliefe from
+the Indians, as some yet living weare feelinge witnesses, neither were<span class='pagenum'><a name="Page_70" id="Page_70">[Pg&nbsp;70]</a></span>
+we for our future and better maintenance permitted to manure or till
+any grounde, a thing in a new Plantation principally to be regarded,
+but weare by the direction of Sir Thomas Smith, and his officers heere,
+wholly imployed in cuttinge downe of masts, cedar, blacke wallnutt,
+clapboarde, &amp;c., and in digginge gould oare (as some thought) which
+beinge sent for England proved dirt. These works to make retorne of
+present proffit hindered others of more necessary consequence of Plantation.</p>
+
+<p>After this first supplie there were some few poore howses built, &amp;
+entrance made in cleeringe of grounde to the quantitye of foure acres for
+the wholl Collony, hunger &amp; sickness not permitting any great matters
+to bee donne that yeare.</p>
+
+<p>The second supplie was a ship called the Mary Margett, which arrived
+here nine months after, about the time of Michaellmas, in her
+sixty persons, most gentlemen, few or no tradesmen, except some Polanders
+to make Pitch, tarre, potashes, &amp;c., to be retorned for present
+gaine, soe meanly likewise were these furnished forth for victualles, that
+in lesse then two monthes after their arrivall, want compelled us to imploye
+our time abroad in trading with the Indians for corne; whereby though
+for a time we partly relieved our necessities, yet in Maye followinge we
+weare forced (leavinge a small guarde of gentlemen &amp; some others
+about the president at James Towne) to disperse the wholl Collony,
+some amongst the Salvadges but most to the Oyster Banks, where
+they lived uppon oysters for the space of nine weekes, with the allowance
+only of a pinte of Indian corne to each man for a week, &amp; that
+allowance of corne continued to them but two weekes of the nine,
+which kinde of feeding caused all our skinns to peele off, from head to
+foote, as if we had beene flead. By this time arrived Captaine Samuell
+Argall in a small Barque, with him neither supplie of men nor victualls
+from the Company; but we understandinge that he had some small provisions
+of bread and wine, more then would serve his owne companie,
+required him and the master of the Barque to remaine ashoare whilst
+we might bring his sailes ashoare the better to assure us of his ship &amp;
+such provisions as coulde be spared, whereunto he seemed willingly to
+condescend. Those provisions, at a small allowance of Biskett, cake,
+and a small measure of wine or beere to each person for a Daye some
+what relieved us for the space of a month, at the end of which time arrived
+the thirde supplie, called Sir Thomas Gates, his fleet, which consisted
+of seaven shippes &amp; neere five hundred persons with whom a
+small proportion of victuall, for such a number, was landed; howses
+few or none to entertain them, so that being quartered in the open
+feilde they fell uppon that small quantitye of corne, not beinge above
+seaven acres, which we with great penury &amp; sufferance had formerly
+planted, and in three days, at the most, wholly devoured it.</p>
+
+<p>These numbers, thus meanly provided, not being able to subsist and
+live together weare soone after devided into three parties and dispersed<span class='pagenum'><a name="Page_71" id="Page_71">[Pg&nbsp;71]</a></span>
+abroad for their better reliefe. The first under commande of Captaine
+Francis West to feat at the head of the River; a second under commande
+of Captaine John Smith, then President, at James Towne, &amp; the
+other, with Capt. John Martin, in the River at Nansamun, which divisions
+gave occasions to the Indiens treacherously to cutt off divers of our men
+&amp; boates, and forced the rest at the end of sixe weekes, havinge spent
+those small provisions they had with them, to retire to James Town &amp;
+that in the depth of winter, when by reason of the colde, it was not
+possible for us to endure to wade in the water (as formerly) to gather
+oysters to satisfie our hungry stomacks, but constrained to digge in the
+grounde for unwholesome rootes whereof we were not able to get so many
+as would suffice us, in respect of the frost at that season &amp; our poverty &amp;
+weakness, so that famine compelled us wholly to devoure those Hogges,
+Dogges &amp; horses that weare then in the Collony, together with rates, mice,
+snakes, or what vermin or carryon soever we could light on, as alsoe Toadstooles,
+Jewes eares, or what els we founde growing upon the grounde that
+would fill either mouth or belly; and weare driven through unsufferable
+hunger unnaturallie to eat those thinges which nature most abhorred,
+the flesh and excrements of man, as well of our owne nation as of an Indian,
+digged by some out of his grave after he had laien buried three
+daies &amp; wholly devoured him; others, envyinge the better state of boddie
+of any whom hunger had not yet so much wasted as there owne,
+lay waight and threatened to kill and eat them; one amonge the rest
+slue his wife as she slept in his bosome, cutt her in peeces, powdered her
+&amp; fedd uppon her till he had clean devoured all partes saveinge her
+heade, &amp; was for soe barbarouse a fact and cruelty justly executed.
+Some adventuringe to seeke releife in the woods, dyed as they fought
+it, &amp; weare eaten by others who found them dead. Many putt themselves
+into the Indians' handes, though our enemies, and were by them
+slaine. In this extremitye of famine continued the Collony till the twenteth
+of Maye, when unexpected, yet happely, arrived Sir Thomas Gates
+&amp; Sir George Somers in two small Barques<a name="FNanchor_FF_510" id="FNanchor_FF_510"></a><a href="#Footnote_FF_510" class="fnanchor">[FF]</a> which they had built in the
+Sommer Islands after the wreake of the Sea adventure wherin they sett
+forth from Englande, with them one hundred persons barely provided
+of vittel for themselves. They founde the Collony consistinge then of
+but sixty persons most famished and at point of death, of whom many
+soone after died; the lamentable outcries of theirs soe moved the
+hartes of those worthies, not being in any sorte able long to releive their
+wantes they soone resolved to imbarque themselves &amp; this poore remainder
+of the Collonye, in those two pinnaces &amp; two other small
+Barques then in the River, to sett saile for Newfoundland where they
+might releive their wants &amp; procure one safer passage for Englande.
+Every man, glad of this resolution, laboured his uttmost to further it,<span class='pagenum'><a name="Page_72" id="Page_72">[Pg&nbsp;72]</a></span>
+so that in three weekes we had fitted those barques and pinnaces (the
+best we could) &amp; quitted James Towne, leaving the poore buildings in
+it to the spoile of the Indians, hopeinge never to retorne to re-possess
+them. When we had not sailed downe the River above twelve miles
+but we espied a boat which afterwards we understoode came from
+the right Honourable Lorde La Ware, who was then arived at Point
+Comfort with three good shipps, wherin he brought two hundred and
+fifty persons with some store of Provisions for them; but by reason he
+founde the Collony in so great want was forced to put both his owne
+people &amp; the rest of the Collony to a very meane allowance, which was
+seven pounde of English meale for a man a weeke, &amp; five pounds
+for every woman, without the addition of any victuall whatsoever, except,
+in the stead of meale, we took valuablie either pease or oatmeale.
+Uppon the arrival of that boat, Sir Thomas Gates understandinge from
+the Lord La Ware, that his Lordship was arrived with commission from
+the Company to be Gov<sup>r</sup> &amp; Capt. Gen<sup>l</sup> of Virginia, &amp; had brought
+men &amp; provisions for the subsistinge &amp; advancing of the Plantation,
+he the very next daye, to the great griefe of all his Company (only
+except Capt. John Martin), as winde and weather gave leave, retorned
+his whole company with charge to take possession againe of those poore
+ruinated habitations at James Towne which he had formerly abandoned;
+himselffe in a boate proceeded downeward to meete his Lordship who,
+making all speede up, arrived shortly after at James Towne. The time
+of the yeare being then most unseasonable, by intemperate heat, at the
+end of June his people suddenly fallinge generally into most pestilent
+diseases of Callentures and feavors, not lesse then one hundred &amp; fifty
+of them died within few moneths after, &amp; that chiefly for want of meanes
+to comfort them in their weak estates. The residue alsoe disabled by
+reason of sicknes could performe nothing that yeare to the advancement
+of the Collony, yet with the help of those people which had arrived
+with Sir Thomas Gates, together with some of the ancient Planters,
+who by use weare growen practique in a hard way of livinge, two small
+forts weare erected neare the rivers mouth at Kicoughtun, encompassed
+with small younge trees, haveinge for housing in the one, two formerlie
+built by the Indians &amp; covered with bark by them, in the other a tent
+with some few thatcht cabbins which our people built at our comming
+thether. We founde divers other Indian Howses built by the natives
+which by reason we could make no use of we burnt, killinge to the
+number of twelve or fourteene Indians, &amp; possessinge such corne as we
+founde growinge of their plantinge. We remained there untill harvest,
+when we reaped (besides what we spent) about the quantitie of one
+hundred and fiftie bushells of corne, which, by order from the Lord La
+Ware, was transported to James Towne.</p>
+
+<p>His Lordship intendinge to send up certain forces to march towardes
+the mountaines for the discoverie of gold or silver mines at the
+end of October, sent his Patents to Captaine Yardley and Captaine<span class='pagenum'><a name="Page_73" id="Page_73">[Pg&nbsp;73]</a></span>
+Holcroft, commanders of those two forts at Kicoughtan, wherin his
+Lordship gave order that they should be forthwith abandoned &amp; the
+people with all speede to be brought to James Citie, there to prepare for
+his intended march.</p>
+
+<p>At that time there arrived a small ship called the daintie, with
+twelve men &amp; one woman, some little provision of victuall, two or three
+horses &amp; some other slight necessaries for the Collony. Soon after we
+sett forward for our intended march, havinge for our leaders Captaine
+Edwarde Brewster &amp; Captaine George Yeardley, being in number one
+hundred persons, furnished with all such necessary provisions, as the
+Collony at that time out of its poverty was able to provide. This designe
+was hindered by reason of the unfortunate losse of all our chieffe
+men skillfull in findeinge out mines, who weare treacherously slaine
+by the Salvadges (inviteinge them ashoare to eat victualls which they
+wanted) even when the meate was in theire mouthes, they careinge only
+to fill their bellies, foresaw not to prevent this danger which befell
+them.</p>
+
+<p>This injury we revenged for the present (as we coulde) by killinge
+some Indians and burninge many houses, but by reason of this disaster
+we proceeded not farther on our journey then the head of the River,
+where we spent about three moneths doinge little but induringe much;
+his Lordship was there in person for the most part of that time, but his
+disease of body groweinge much upon him he resolved to retire to James
+Towne, givinge order that the fort which we had built there shoulde bee
+quitted and the troupe drawn downe, which accordingly was done.
+His Lordship then in regarde of his sickness was advised to putt to Sea
+in his ship, the Delaware, to seeke remedie in some other parts for the
+health of his bodye. At his going he left Captaine George Percie
+Deputie Governor, the people (remaining under his command) provided
+for three months at a short allowance of victuals. The calamities
+of these times would not any way permit workes of great importance
+to bee performed, sith that we did was as much as we coulde doe to live
+and defende our selves.</p>
+
+<p>The Plantations helde at his Lordships departure were only James
+Towne and Pointe Comforte, where was a small Fort fenced with Pallisadoes,
+in it one slight howse, a store and some few thatcht cabbins, which
+shortly after by casualtie was burnt with fire; some few great ordinance
+were slenderlye mounted at James Towne and Pointe Comfort.</p>
+
+<p>A fortnight after his Lordship's departure arrived a small ship called
+the Hercules, with some thirty people and some provisions for them.
+The tweife of May followeinge arrived Sir Thomas Dale with three
+ships and three hundred persons, his provisions for them of such qualitie
+(for the most part) as hogges refused to eat, some whereof were sent
+backe to England to testifie the same, and that the rest was not better
+was justified upon oath before the Hono<sup>ble</sup> the Lorde Cheife Justice
+of the Common Pleas, at Guilde hall in London, by Sir Thos. Gates &amp;
+two other gentlemen.<span class='pagenum'><a name="Page_74" id="Page_74">[Pg&nbsp;74]</a></span></p>
+
+<p>Sir Thomas Dale, takinge into consideration the precedent times
+not to have succeeded accordinge to the greedy desire of Sir Thomas
+Smith, presently imployed the general Colony about the lading of those
+three ships with such freight as the country then yealded, but a little
+before the ships were readie to depart, Sir Thomas Gates arrived with
+three ships and three carvills, with him three hundred persons meanly
+provided with victualls for such a number. In this fleet, to our remembrance,
+arrived sixtie cowes and some swine; it was his care to dispatch
+those shipps and carvills fraighted (as aforesaid) to the neglect of
+workes of greater importance. Sir Thomas Dale imediately uppon his
+arrival, to add to that extremitye of miserye under which the Collonye
+from her infancie groaned, made and published most cruell and tiranous
+lawes, exceeding the strictest rules of marishall discipline, which lawes
+were sent over by Sir Thomas Dale to Sir Thomas Smith by the hande
+of Mr. William Starchey,<a name="FNanchor_GG_511" id="FNanchor_GG_511"></a><a href="#Footnote_GG_511" class="fnanchor">[GG]</a> then Secretarie to the State, and were retorned
+in print, with approbation, for our future government, as in
+divers bookes yet extant more fully appeareth.</p>
+
+<p>At Michaellmas then next followinge, Sir Thomas Dale removed
+himself with three hundred persons for the buildinge of Henrico Towne,
+where being landed he oppressed his whole companye with such extraordinarye
+labors by daye and watchinge by night, as maye seeme incredible
+to the eares of any who had not the experimentall triall thereof.
+Wante of houses at first landinge in the colde of winter, and pinchinge
+hunger continually bitinge, made those imposed labours moft insufferable,
+and the best fruits and effects therof to be noe better then the
+slaughter of his Majesty's free subjects by starveinge, hangeinge,
+burneinge, breakinge upon the wheele and shootinge to deathe, some
+(more than halfe famished) runninge to the Indians to gett reliefe beinge
+againe retorned were burnt to death. Some for stealinge to satisfie
+their hunger were hanged, and one chained to a tree till he starved to
+death; others attemptinge to run awaye in a barge and a shallop (all the
+Boates that were then in the Collonye) and therin to adventure their
+lives for their native countrye, beinge discovered and prevented, were
+shott to death, hanged and broken upon the wheele, besides continuall
+whippings, extraordinary punishments, workinge as slaves in irons for
+terme of yeares (and that for petty offences) weare dayly executed.
+Many famished in holes and other poore cabbins in the grounde, not
+respected because sicknes had disabled them for labour, nor was their
+sufficient for them that were more able to worke, our best allowance
+beinge but nine ounces of corrupt and putrified meale and haife a pinte<span class='pagenum'><a name="Page_75" id="Page_75">[Pg&nbsp;75]</a></span>
+of oatmeale or pease (of like ill condition) for each person a daye.
+Those provisions were sent over by one Winne, a Draper, and Caswell,
+a baker, by the appointment (as we conceave) of Sir Thomas Smith.
+Under this Tiranus Government the Collony continued in extreame
+slavery and miserye for the space of five yeares, in which time
+many, whose necessities enforced the breach of those lawes by the
+strictness and severitye therof, suffered death and other punishments.
+Divers gentlemen both there and at Henrico towne, and throughout
+the wholl Collonye (beinge great adventurers and no trendes or alliance
+to Sir Thomas Smith) weare feeling members of those generall calamities,
+as far forth as the meanest fellow sent over.</p>
+
+<p>The buildings and fortifications of that Towne, or thereabouts,
+were noe way extraordinary, neither could want, accompanied with
+bloode and crueltie, effect better.</p>
+
+<p>Fortification against a foreign enemy there was none, only two or
+three peeces of ordenance mounted, and against a domestic noe other
+but a pale inclosinge the Towne to the quantitye of foure acres,
+within which those buildings that weare erected, coulde not in any
+man's judgement, neither did stande above five yeares and that not
+without continuall reparations; true it is that there was a Bricke Church
+intended to be built, but not soe much as the foundation therof ever finished,
+but we contentinge our selves with a church of wood answerable
+to those houses. Many other workes of like nature weare by him donne
+at Henrico and the precincts therof, but so slightly as before his departure
+hence, he himself saw the ruine and desolation of most of them.</p>
+
+<p>Sir Thomas Gates likewise in his time erected some buildinges in
+and about James Towne, which by continuall cost in repaireinge of them
+doe yet for the most part in some sort remaine.</p>
+
+<p>A framed Bridge was alsoe then erected, which utterly decayed
+before the end of Sir Thomas Smith's government, that being the only
+bridge (any way soe to be called) that was ever in the country. At
+this time in all these labours, the miserye throughout the wholl Collony,
+in the scarcitye of foode was equall; which penurious and harde kinde
+of liveinge, enforced and emboldened some to petition to Sir Thomas
+Gates (then Governor) to grant them that favor that they might employ
+themselves in husbandry, that therby they and all others by plantinge
+of corne, might be better fed then those supplies of victual which were
+sent from Englande woulde afforde to doe, which request of theirs was
+denied unlesse they woulde paye the yearlye rent of three barrels of corne
+and one monthe's worke to the Collonye, although many of them had
+been imployed in the generall workes and services of the Collony from
+the beginninge of the Plantation, which harde condition of Tenantship
+was then accepted rather then they woulde continue in those generall
+services and employments noe waye better then slavery. Most part of
+the time that Sir Thomas Gates and Sir Thos. Dale governed we were
+at warre with the natives, so that by them divers times were many of<span class='pagenum'><a name="Page_76" id="Page_76">[Pg&nbsp;76]</a></span>
+our people slaine, whose blood Sir Thomas Dale neglected not to revenge,
+by divers and sundry executions, in killinge many, cuttinge
+downe and takinge away their corne, burninge their houses, spoiling
+their weares, &amp;c.<a name="FNanchor_HH_512" id="FNanchor_HH_512"></a><a href="#Footnote_HH_512" class="fnanchor">[HH]</a></p>
+
+<p>In this time alsoe the two fortes, fort Henry and fort Charles, at
+Kicoughton, were againe erected with such buildings as were formerly
+expressed, not fortified at all against a forreine enemye, and against the
+Indian that common order of a pale or pallisadoe.</p>
+
+<p>The supplies sent out of Englande while Sir Thos. Gates and Sir
+Thos. Dale governed were these; a small barque called the John and
+Francis, which brought few men and less victual; the next a small ship
+called the Sarah, with the like number of men and victuall; the next
+ship called the Tresorer, wherin came Capt. Samuell Argoll, bringinge
+with him to the number of fiftie good men, which ship and men were
+wholly imployed in Trade and other services for relevinge of the Collonye;
+the next ship, called the Elizabeth, with about thirteene persons,
+for them little provision; the next the same Elizabeth came againe, with
+some small store of provisions only; in her Sir Thos. Gates went for
+Englande, leavinge the government with Sir Thomas Dale.</p>
+
+<p>A little before the departure of Sir Thomas Gates many of the
+ancient planters (by the instigation of Sir Thomas Dale), uppon the
+promise of an absolute freedome after three yeares more to be expired
+(havinge most of them already served the Collonye six or seaven yeares
+in that generall slavery) were yet contented to worke in the buildinge
+of Charles Citty and Hundred, with very little allowance of clothinge
+and victuall, and that only for the first yeare, being promised one
+moneth in the yeare, and one daye in the weeke from Maye daye till
+harvest, to gett our maintenance out of the earth without any further
+helpe; which promise of Sir Thos. Dale was not performed, for out of
+that small time which was allowed for our maintenance we were
+abridged of nere halfe, soe that out of our daily taskes we were forced
+to redeeme time wherin to labour for our sustenance, therby miserably
+to purchase our freedome. Yet so fell it out that our State (by God's
+mercy) was afterwardes more happie then others who continued longer
+in the aforementioned slaverye; in which time we built such houses as before
+and in them lived with continual repairs, and buildinge new where
+the old failed, untill the massacre.</p>
+
+<p>For matter of fortification in all this time, were only foure peeces
+of ordinance mounted for our defence against the natives. Soone after
+we weare seated at Charles Hundred, Sir Thomas Dales resolved of a
+journey to Pamonkey River, there to make with the Salvadges either a
+firme league of friendship or a present warre; they percieving his intent
+inclined rather for peace (more for feare then love) which was then<span class='pagenum'><a name="Page_77" id="Page_77">[Pg&nbsp;77]</a></span>
+concluded betwixt them. That donne we retorned to our habitations,
+where great want and scarcitye, oppressed us, that continuinge and increasinge,
+(our first harvest not yet being ripe) caused in many an
+intended mutinye, which beinge, by God's mercy, discovered, the prime
+actors were duly examined and convicted, wherof sixe beinge adjudged
+and condemned were executed.</p>
+
+<p>After this, arrived for supply a small ship called the John and Francis,
+with about twenty persons and little or noe provisions for them. The
+next ship, called the Tresorer, arived heere with the number of twenty
+persons and as little provisions as the former, in which ship after many
+other designes were effected by Sir Thos. Dale, as makinge spoile of
+the Keschiacks<a name="FNanchor_II_513" id="FNanchor_II_513"></a><a href="#Footnote_II_513" class="fnanchor">[II]</a> and Wariscoyacks, impaling some necks of Lande, for defence
+against the Salvadges, and in fishing for our reliefe, &amp;c., he departed
+from Virginia, and left the Government to Captain George
+Yardley, under whom the Collony lived in peace and best plentye that
+ever it had till that time, yet most part of the people for that yeare of
+his Government continued in the generall services followinge their labors
+as Sir Thos. Dale left them by order.</p>
+
+<p>At Michaelmas followinge arrived a small ship called the Susan,
+her lading (beinge the first Magazin) consistinge of some necessarye
+provisions of clothinge, as our wants required, which goods were sould
+by Sir Thos. Smith's factor, as we suppose, for a sufficient proffit, exchanginge
+with us their commodities for our Tobacco.</p>
+
+<p>At Christmas then followinge, just occasion beinge given by the
+Indians of Chiquohomini in many and severall kindes of abuses, and in
+deridinge of our demandes, wherunto they had formerly agreed and
+conditioned with Sir Thomas Dale to paye us yearlye tribute, viz: a
+bushell of corne for every Boweman, for which, by agreement, we were
+to give to each man one peece of copper and one iron tomahawke, and
+to the eight chiefe men each a suit of redd cloth, which clothes and
+truckinge stuffe we esteemed of more worth then their corne. These
+and the like grosse abuses moved our Governor, Captaine George
+Yeardley, to levye a company of men, to the number of eighty-four,
+to bee revenged uppon those contemptuous Indians, which he, accordinge
+to his desire, fully executed, and returned home with the spoile of
+them; concludinge, before his departure from them, a more firme
+league in appearance than formerly was, for that it continued unviolated
+almost the space of two yeares; our people freely travelinge from
+Town to Towne (both men, women and children) without any armes,
+and were by the Salvadges lodged in their houses, every way kindly
+intreated and noe way molested.</p>
+
+<p>In March followinge, our three yeares' time beinge expired, as it
+was our due, we of Charles Hundred demanded our long desired free<span class='pagenum'><a name="Page_78" id="Page_78">[Pg&nbsp;78]</a></span>dome
+from that common and generall servitude; unto which request
+Captaine George Yeardley, freely and willingly assented, to our great
+joy and comfort. Yet remained the most part of the Collony in the
+former servitude; part of whom were farmers, the rest imployed in such
+workes as Sir Thomas Dale gave order for before his departure.</p>
+
+<p>We that were freed, with our humble thankes to God, fell cheerfully
+to our perticular labours, wherby to our great comfort, through
+his blessinge, we reaped a plentifull harvest.</p>
+
+<p>In May followinge arived Captain Samuell Argoll with commission
+to be Governor. He brought with him to the number of a
+hundred persons, partly at the charge of the Company and partly at
+the charge of private adventurers; with them was brought a very little
+provision for that nomber. At his arrival heere he founde the Collony
+in all parts well stored with corne, and at Charles Hundred a granery
+well furnished by rentes lately raised and received from the farmers,
+which corne he tooke possession of, but how it was imployed himselfe
+can best give an account. Whilest he governed, the Collony was slenderly
+provided of munition, wherby a strict proclamation was made for
+restraint of wastinge or shooting away of powder, under paine of
+great punishment; which forbiddinge to shoot at all in our peeces
+caused the losse of much of oure corne then growinge uppon the
+grounde; the Indians perceivinge our forbearance to shoote (as formerly)
+concluded thereuppon that our peeces were, as they saide, sicke
+and not to be used; uppon this, not longe after they were boulde to
+presume to assault some of our people, whom they slew, therin breakinge
+that league, which before was so fairly kept.</p>
+
+<p>Duringe his time of Government most of the people of the Collony
+remained (as formerly) in the common service, their freedome not
+beinge to be obtained without extraordinary payement.</p>
+
+<p>The next ship that arrived heere was the George, sett forth, as we
+supose, at the charge of private adventurers, but came soe meanly provided
+with victuall, that had not we, the old Planters, relieved them
+most of them had been starved. The next ships, called the Neptune
+and Treasurer, arived in August followinge, set out at the charge of
+the Right Hono<sup>ble</sup> the Lord Laware, his noble associates, and some
+other private adventurers. The people w<sup>ch</sup> arived were soe poorely
+victualled that had they not been distributed amongst the old Planters
+they must for want have perished; with them was brought a most pestilent
+disease (called the Bloody flux) which infected all most all the
+whole Collonye. That disease, nothstanding all our former afflictions,
+was never knowne before amongst us.</p>
+
+<p>The next supply weare two ships called the William &amp; Thomas
+and the Guift, which arived in Januarie; the Guift beinge sett forth at
+the charge of the Societie of Martin's Hundred, the other by the Magazin
+and some private adventurers.</p>
+
+<p>The next, a small ship called the Elinor (sett forth at whose charge<span class='pagenum'><a name="Page_79" id="Page_79">[Pg&nbsp;79]</a></span>
+we know not), arived heere in Aprill after, and in her Capt. Samuell
+Argoll, leaving his Government, shipt himselfe for Englande. Whatsoever
+els befell in the time of his Government we omit to relate, much
+beinge, uppon our oathes, alreadie sufficiently examined and our answers
+sent for Englande.</p>
+
+<p>By all which hath heertofore beene saide concerninge this Collony,
+from the infancie therof and untill the expiration of Sir Thomas
+Smith's government, may easily be perceived and plainly understood
+what just cause he or any els have to boast of the flourishing estate of
+those times, wherin so great miseries and callamities were indured, and
+soe few workes of moment or importance performed, himselfe beinge
+justly to be charged as a prime author therof, by his neglect of providinge
+and alloweinge better meanes to proceede in so great a worke,
+and in hindering very many of our frendes from sendinge much releife
+and meanes who beinge earnestly solicited from hence by our letters&mdash;wherin
+we lamentablie complained unto them&mdash;have often besought
+Sir Thomas Smith that they might have leave to supplie us at their
+owne charge both with provision of victuall and all other necessaries,
+wherin he utterlie denied them so to doe, protestinge to them that we
+were in noe want at all, but that we exceeded in abundance and plentie
+of all things, so that therby our frendes were moved both to desist from
+from sendinge and to doubt the truth of our letters, most part of which
+weare by him usually intercepted and kept backe; farther giveinge order
+by his directions to the Governor heere, that all men's letters
+should be searched at the goinge away of ships, and if in anye of them
+weare founde that the true estate of the Collony was declared, they
+were presented to the Governor and the indighters of them severely
+punished; by which meanes noe man durst make any true relation to
+his frendes of his owne or the Collonye's true estate; neither was it
+permitted to anye to have passe to goe home, but by force were kept
+heere and employed as we have saide (save some few), one of whom
+receved his passe from the Kinge, and that closely made up in a garter,
+least it should have been seized uppon and he kept heere notwithstandinge.
+Those whom their frendes procured their passe in open courte
+from the Companye were, by private direction, neverthelesse made
+staye of, others procuringe private letters having been lett goe.</p>
+
+<p>We must alsoe noat heere, that Sir Thos. Dale, at his arivall finding
+himself deluded by the aforesaid protestations, pulled Capt. Newport
+by the beard, and threatninge to hange him, for that he affirmed
+Sir Thos. Smith's relation to be true, demandinge of him whether it
+weare meant that the people heere in Virginia shoulde feed uppon
+trees.</p>
+
+<p>Soe may we heere conclude, as some have concluded for him, to
+what great growth of perfection (with the expence of that seaventie
+thousand poundes) the Plantation was advanced in the time of his
+12 years' government, but whether, as it is saide, he be to be praised<span class='pagenum'><a name="Page_80" id="Page_80">[Pg&nbsp;80]</a></span>
+for the managaing of these affaires, with much unanimity, moderation,
+integritie and judgment, we leave it to censure.</p>
+
+<p>At the end of this twelve yeares arived Sir George Yeardley to
+be Gov<sup>r</sup> and founde the Collony in this estate and thus furnished, vizt:
+For fortification against a forreign ennemie there was none at all; two
+demy culverin only were mounted uppon rotten carriages and placed
+within James Citty, fitter to shoot downe our houses then to offend an
+ennemie. At Charles Hundred, which were mounted by Sir Thos.
+Dale, two demy culverin and one sacre; fortifications against a domestique
+enimie very mean. For Forts, Towns and Plantations he founde
+these: James Citty, Henrico, Charles Citty and Hundred, Shirley Hundred,
+Arrahattock, Martin Brandon and Kicoughton, all w<sup>ch</sup> were but
+poorely housed and as ill fortified; for in James Cittie were only those
+houses that Sir Thom. Gates built in the time of his government, with
+one wherin the Gov<sup>r</sup> allwayes dwelt, an addition beinge made therto
+in the time of Captaine Sam<sup>l</sup> Argoll, and a church, built, wholly at the
+charge of the inhabitants of that cittie, of Timber, beinge fifty foote in
+length and twenty foot in breadth; at Paspahayes alsoe weare some few
+slight houses built; at Henrico, two or three old howses, a poore ruinated
+church with some few poore buildings in the Island; Coxen Dale
+and the Maine and att Arrahatocke one house, at Charles Cittie sixe
+howses much decayed, and, that we may not be too tedious, as these,
+soe were the rest of the places furnisht.</p>
+
+<p>For people then alive about the nomber of foure hundred, very
+many of them in want of corne, utterlie destitute of cattle, twine, Poultrie
+and other Provisions to nourish them.</p>
+
+<p>For Barques, Pinnaces, Shallops, Barges and Boates he founde
+only one olde Frigott, which belonged to the Sommer Islandes, one olde
+Shallopp built in Sir Thos. Dale's time, one boat built in Sir Sam'l Argoll's
+time, with two small boates belonginge to private men. For munition
+a very small quantitye, the most part thereof beinge very bad
+and of little use. For ministers to instruct the people he founde only
+three authorized, two others who never received their orders.</p>
+
+<p>For staple commodities at his arrivall he founde none afoot save
+only Tobacco. The natives he founde uppon doubtfull termes, neither
+did we ever perceive that at any time they voluntarilie yealded themselves
+subjects or servants to our Gracious Soveraigne, neither that
+ever they tooke any pride in that title, nor paide they at any time any
+yearly contribution of corne for the sustentation of the Collony, nor
+could we at any time keepe them in such goode respect or correspondencie
+that they and we did become mutuallie helpfull or proffitable,
+each to other, but to the contrary, whatsoever at any time was done
+uppon them proceeded from fear without love, for such help as we have
+had from them have been procured by sworde or trade. And heere
+can we noe way approve of that which hath lately beene saide in the

+plantation in Virginia, erected in the time of his 12 yeares government,
+hath since been distroyed through the ignorance of succeedinge

+
+<p><i>Aprill, 1619.</i>&mdash;Arived Sir Geo. Yeardeley, bringing certain commissions
+and instructions from the Company for the better establishinge
+of a Commonwealth heere, wherin order was taken for the removing
+of all those grievances which formerly were suffred and manifested the
+same by publishinge a Proclamation that all those that were residend
+heere before the departure of Sir Thos. Dale should be freed and acquitted
+from such publique services and labours which formerly they
+suffered, and that those cruell lawes by which we had soe longe been
+governed were now abrogated, and that we were now to be governed
+by those free lawes which his Ma<sup>ty's</sup> subjects live under in Englande.
+And farther that free libertie was given to all men to make choice of
+their dividents of lande and, as their abilities and meanes w<sup>d</sup> permitt, to
+possesse and plant uppon them. And that they might have a hande in
+the governinge of themselves, it was granted that a general assemblie
+should be helde yearly once, wherat were to be present the Gov<sup>r</sup> and
+Counsell with two Burgesses from each Plantation freely to be elected
+by the inhabitants thereof; this assembly to have power to make and
+ordaine whatsoever lawes and orders should by them be thought good
+and proffittable for our subsistance. The effect of which proceedinge
+gave such incouragement to every person heere that all of them followed
+their perticular labours with singular alacrity and industry, soe
+that, through the blessinge of God uppon our willinge labors, within the
+space of three yeares, our countrye flourished with many new erected
+Plantations, from the head of the River to Kicoughtan, beautifull and
+pleasant to the spectators, and comfortable for the releife and succor of
+all such as by occasion did travaile by land or by water; every man
+giveinge free entertainment, both to frendes or others. The plenty of
+these times likewise was such that all men generally were sufficiently
+furnished with corne, and many alsoe had plenty of cattle, swine, poultry
+and other good provisions to nourish them. Monethly courtes
+were held in every precinct to doe justice in redressinge of all small
+and petty matters, others of more consequence beinge referred to the
+Gov<sup>r</sup>, Counsell and Generall Assemblie. Now alsoe were begunne and
+sett a foote the erectinge of Iron Workes, plantinge of vines and mulberrie
+trees for the nourishinge of silke wormes; a trial made for silke
+grasse tillage for English graine, gardeninge, and the like, which gave
+great hopes of present and future plenty in their severall perticulars,<span class='pagenum'><a name="Page_82" id="Page_82">[Pg&nbsp;82]</a></span>
+wherin no doubt but much more had been effected had not great sicknes
+and mortalitie prevented.</p>
+
+<p>Those yeares fallinge out to be generally contagious through
+this continent, the people alsoe sent over arrived heere at the most unseasonable
+time of the yeare, beinge at the heat of Sommer, and divers
+of the ships brought with them most pestilent infections, wherof many
+of their people had died at Sea, soe that these times alsoe of plenty
+and libertie were mixed with the calamities of sicknes and mortalitie.</p>
+
+<hr class="short" />
+
+<p><i>In October, 1621</i>, Arived Sir Fras. Wyatt, Knight, with commission
+to be Gov<sup>r</sup> and Capt. Gen<sup>l</sup> of Virginia. He ratified and confirmed all
+the afore mentioned liberties, freedomes and priveledges, to our great
+happines and content; the country alsoe flourished and increased in
+her former proceedinges, as iron workes, plantinge of vines and mulberrie
+for silke, &amp;c. A ship alsoe was sent to the Summer Islandes
+for such commodities as that place afforded, as Potatoes, Fig Trees,
+Orange and Lemon Trees, and such like, many of which prosper and
+growe very likely to increase. But amidst this happines was the Hande
+of God sett against us, in great part, no doubt, for the punishment of
+our ingratitude in not being thankefull but forgettfull that by his mercye
+we were delivered from such bondage and calamitie as before time
+we had suffered. Justly likewise were we punished for our greedy desires
+of present gaine and proffit, wherin many showed themselves insatiable
+and covetous; we beinge too secure in trustinge of a treacherous
+enimie, the Salvadges, they, whilest we entertained them frendley
+in our houses, tooke their opportunities and suddenly fell uppon us,
+killing and murdering very many of our people, burninge and devastinge
+their houses and plantations, this happeninge uppon the <i>two and
+twenteth of March</i> followinge (1622), stroocke so at the life of our wellfare
+by blood and spoile, that it almost generally defaced the beautie
+of the wholl Collonye, puttinge us out of the way of bringinge to perfection
+those excellent workes wherin we had made soe faire a beginninge.</p>
+
+<p>This deadly stroake being given to the great amazement and ruine
+of our State, caused our Governor and Counsell, withall speede, for the
+safetie of the rest (lest the Indians shoulde take courage to pursue what
+they had begunne), to re-collect the straglinge and woefull Inhabitants,
+soe dismembered, into stronger bodies and more secure places. This
+enforced reducement of the Collony into fewer bodies, together with
+the troble of warre then in hande, caused the year following a slender
+harvest to be reaped, wherby we weare constrained to relye upon hopes
+for our reliefe by shippinge out of Englande, and by trading with the
+more remote Salvadges, most part of which supplies from Englande
+unfortunately miscarried by the waye, the Salvadges, likewise, from
+whome we hoped to have helpes by trade, proved our most treacherous
+ennemies, cunninglye circumventinge and cruellie murderinge such as<span class='pagenum'><a name="Page_83" id="Page_83">[Pg&nbsp;83]</a></span>
+were employed abroade to gett reliefe from them, by all which misaccidents
+we fell that yeare into great want and scarcitye; which since, by
+the blessinge of God, through our supplies we have had from the Company,
+together with a plentifull harvest, hath bene abundantly restored.
+Our Gov<sup>r</sup>, Counsell and others have used their uttermost and Christian
+endeavours in prosequtinge revenge against the bloody Salvadges, and
+have endeavoured to restore the Collonye to her former prosperitye,
+wherin they have used great diligence and industrye, imployinge many
+forces abroade for the rootinge them out of severall places that therby
+we may come to live in better securitie, doubtinge not but in time we
+shall clean drive them from these partes, and therby have the free
+libertie and range for our cattle, the increase of whom may bringe us
+to plentie, and maye alsoe more freely goe on againe with setting up
+those staple commodities which we hoped by this time to have brought
+to good perfection.</p>
+
+<p>For the supplies of shippinge, men, cattle and provisions that have
+arived heere since Sir Thomas Smith left his government we can not

+<h2 class="space">PREFACE.</h2>
+
+<p>The three succeeding papers are printed from the De Jarnette collection. The first
+is a census in gross without any details of sex, age or social condition. In these respects
+it lacks the interest which one feels in the list made out in 1623.</p>
+
+<p>In February, 1623, there were living in the Colony 1277 persons, and including
+371 who had died during the preceding year, <i>i.e.</i> since April, 1622; it is evident that
+the greatest number of inhabitants during the year ending February 16, 1623&mdash;not including
+those murdered in the massacre&mdash;amounted to 1648; and in 1634, eleven years
+afterwards, they amounted to 5,119, being an increase of 3,471, or an average of about 315
+per annum, by birth and immigration. Accustomed as we are to the rapid growth of
+new countries this seems but a small increase, but when it is remembered that they made
+the voyage in sailing vessels only, and that it then not unfrequently lasted three or
+four months, we have little cause for wonder.</p>
+
+<p>The next paper is a copy of a letter from His Majesty Charles II., to the Governor,
+Sir Wm. Berkeley, returning his thanks for a present of silk grown in Virginia. The
+first settlers were very anxious for success in this department of industry, and the House
+of Burgesses in 1657-'8 passed a law offering a premium of 5,000 pounds of tobacco to
+any one who made "100 pounds of wound silke in any one year," and in the next session,
+1658-'9, the premium was made 10,000 pounds of tobacco for 50 pounds of "wound
+silke." We have frequently heard repeated a tradition to the effect that Charles II.
+wore a robe made of Virginia silk at his coronation. The circumstance of which this
+document is evidence, is probably the nearest approach to any thing of the sort that
+ever occurred, and hereafter this with the foolish and groundless story of one of the
+Lees going to see him when an exile at Breda, to offer him a crown and a refuge in
+Virginia, must be consigned to that oblivion which is likely, soon, we hope, to receive
+many of the mythical legends which have heretofore passed current for the history of
+Virginia.</p>
+
+<p>The third is a list of the parishes and their ministers in 1680, the number of the
+latter showing that the people were poorly provided for in this respect, and that some
+of the parishes had no ministers. This deficiency was, however, in a measure provided for
+by the appointment of "readers" under the operation of acts passed February 1632-'3,
+by which if a minister's cur&eacute; "is so large that he cannot be present on the Saboth and
+other holy days. <i>It is thought fit</i> That they appoint deacons for the readinge of common
+prayer in their absence;" and further, in March, 1661-'2, it was enacted "That every
+parish not haveing a minister to officiate every Sunday doe make choice of a grave and
+sober person to read divine service at the Parish church."&mdash;Hen. Vol. I., p. 208; Vol.
+II., p. 46, 54.</p>

+
+<p>The following additions to the text and notes are suggested as explanatory, without
+being considered superfluous.</p>
+
+<p><a href="#Page_16">Page 16</a>.&mdash;"The sixte petition, to change the sauage name of Kicowtan," was
+granted. In 1621, Treasurer Sandys in his report to the Company informed them that
+the name had been changed to Elizabeth Cittie.&mdash;Neill's history, page 178.</p>
+
+<p><a href="#Page_25">Page 25</a>.&mdash;The word "howes" inserted in connection with various kinds of dogs, is
+our modern word hoe; Smith has it hows on page 86, and howes on page 162.</p>
+
+<p><a href="#Page_29">Page 29</a>.&mdash;Capt. Henry Spelman, was the third son of the distinguished antiquary,
+Sir Henry Spelman, of Conghan, Norfolk, England. He was about twenty-one years of
+age when he came to Virginia, in 1609, for which he accounts as follows: "Beinge in
+displeasuer of my frendes, and desirous to see other countryes. After three months'
+sayle we cum with prosperus winds in sight of Virginia." Afterwards he says, "I was
+carried by Capt. Smith, our President, to ye Fales, to ye litell Powhatan, wher, vnknowne
+to me he sould me to him for a towne called Powhatan."&mdash;Spilman's Relation, pp. 15, 16.
+Dr. Simons, in Smith's General Historie, says: "Captain West and Captain Sickelmore
+sought abroad to trade; Sickelmore, upon the confidence of Powhatan, with about thirty
+other as careless as himselfe, were all slaine, onely Jeffrey Shortridge escaped, and
+Pokahontas, the King's daughter, saued a boy called Henry Spilman, that liued many
+yeeres after, by her meanes, among the Patawmokes;" this occurred in 1609.&mdash;Smith,
+p. 105. He remained with the Indians but little more than one year, for in 1610 Capt.
+Argall being sent to the "riuer Patawmoke to trade for corne," where finding him,
+used Spelman's influence to secure the loading of his vessel with corn, and Spelman
+returned with him to Jamestown.&mdash;Smith, p. 108. Spelman adds, "and brought into
+England," p. 221. We then lose sight of him until he is arraigned before the Assembly
+at Jamestown in 1619 (<i>ante</i> p. 29) He makes his final appearance in 1623, when we
+are told, he was sent with a bark and twenty-six men to "trucke in the River Patawmek,"
+where at some place, the name of which was to his companions unknown, he
+landed with twenty-one of his companions, when the savages made hostile demonstrations
+"and presently after they" (the five left in the bark) "heard a great brute
+amongst the Saluages ashore, and saw a man's head thrown downe the banke, whereupon
+they weighed Anchor and returned home, but how he was surprised or slaine is
+vncertaine."&mdash;Smith p. 161. Spelman wrote a short account of his observations while
+among the Indians, and it laid in obscurity until the sale of Dawson Turner's library, in
+1859, when it was bought by Mr. Joseph Lilly and, by accident, again lost; and at the
+sale of Mr. Lilly's library, in 1871, it was again discovered and purchased for James F.
+Hunniwell, Esq., who has had one hundred copies printed for private circulation.</p>
+
+<p>Spelman was not the only Englishman with the savages. In the same year that
+Spelman was sold for a town, or saved by Pocahontas&mdash;whichever version being correct&mdash;Admiral
+Newport gave Powhatan a boy, named Thomas Salvage, in exchange for "Na<span class='pagenum'><a name="Page_106" id="Page_106">[Pg&nbsp;106]</a></span>montack,
+his trustie seruant." Spelman says Savage was murdered by the Indians, but
+there is a tradition that he lived nearly all his life with them; became possessor of a
+tract of land on the eastern shore by gift and that it remained in his family until within
+the last ten years, when it was sold by some of his descendants then living in Philadelphia.
+The authority for this statement is obtained in correspondence with Hon. Hugh
+B. Grigsby, LL. D., President of the Virginia Historical Society.</p>
+
+<p><a href="#Page_39">Page 39</a>.&mdash;To note to Jordan's Journey it may be added that a reference to this
+place is doubtless made when Smith says: "After the massacre many of the inhabitants
+fortified themselves against other attacks, and Master Samuel Iorden gathered but a few
+about him at Begger's Bush" (the title of one of Fletcher's comedies) "where he fortified."&mdash;Smith,
+p. 150; Campbell, p. 164.</p>
+
+<p><a href="#Page_47">Page 47</a>.&mdash;The following may be added to the note on Glass House: "For glass
+they," the Indians, "knowe not, though the country wants not sal-sodiack enough to
+make glasse, and of which we have made some store in a goodly house sett up for the
+same purpose, a little without the island where Jamestown stands."&mdash;Strachey's Virginia
+Brittania (1612), p. 71. "To take care of Capt. Wm. Norton and certaine Italians
+sent to sitt a glass house."&mdash;Instructions to Sir Francis Wyatt (1621), Hening I.,
+p. 116.</p>
+
+<p><a href="#Page_47">Page 47</a>.&mdash;To note on Warwick-Squrake add: "In the autumn of 1607, Capt. Smith,
+with "six or seaven in company," went to Kicoughtan to get food from the Indians by
+trade. On his return he discovered the town and county of Warraskoyack."&mdash;Smith,

+
+Section  2.  Information about the Mission of Project Gutenberg-tm
+
+Project Gutenberg-tm is synonymous with the free distribution of
+electronic works in formats readable by the widest variety of computers
+including obsolete, old, middle-aged and new computers.  It exists
+because of the efforts of hundreds of volunteers and donations from
+people in all walks of life.
+
+Volunteers and financial support to provide volunteers with the
+assistance they need, is critical to reaching Project Gutenberg-tm's
+goals and ensuring that the Project Gutenberg-tm collection will
+remain freely available for generations to come.  In 2001, the Project
+Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation was created to provide a secure
+and permanent future for Project Gutenberg-tm and future generations.
+To learn more about the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation
+and how your efforts and donations can help, see Sections 3 and 4
+and the Foundation web page at http://www.gutenberg.org/fundraising/pglaf.
+
+
+Section 3.  Information about the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive
+Foundation
+
+The Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation is a non profit
+501(c)(3) educational corporation organized under the laws of the
+state of Mississippi and granted tax exempt status by the Internal
+Revenue Service.  The Foundation's EIN or federal tax identification
+number is 64-6221541.  Contributions to the Project Gutenberg
+Literary Archive Foundation are tax deductible to the full extent
+permitted by U.S. federal laws and your state's laws.
+
+The Foundation's principal office is located at 4557 Melan Dr. S.
+Fairbanks, AK, 99712., but its volunteers and employees are scattered
+throughout numerous locations.  Its business office is located at
+809 North 1500 West, Salt Lake City, UT 84116, (801) 596-1887, email
+business@pglaf.org.  Email contact links and up to date contact
+information can be found at the Foundation's web site and official
+page at http://www.gutenberg.org/about/contact
+
+For additional contact information:

+     Chief Executive and Director
+     gbnewby@pglaf.org
+
+Section 4.  Information about Donations to the Project Gutenberg
+Literary Archive Foundation
+
+Project Gutenberg-tm depends upon and cannot survive without wide
+spread public support and donations to carry out its mission of
+increasing the number of public domain and licensed works that can be
+freely distributed in machine readable form accessible by the widest
+array of equipment including outdated equipment.  Many small donations
+($1 to $5,000) are particularly important to maintaining tax exempt
+status with the IRS.
+
+The Foundation is committed to complying with the laws regulating
+charities and charitable donations in all 50 states of the United
+States.  Compliance requirements are not uniform and it takes a
+considerable effort, much paperwork and many fees to meet and keep up
+with these requirements.  We do not solicit donations in locations
+where we have not received written confirmation of compliance.  To
+SEND DONATIONS or determine the status of compliance for any
+particular state visit http://www.gutenberg.org/fundraising/pglaf
+
+While we cannot and do not solicit contributions from states where we
+have not met the solicitation requirements, we know of no prohibition
+against accepting unsolicited donations from donors in such states who
+approach us with offers to donate.
+
+International donations are gratefully accepted, but we cannot make
+any statements concerning tax treatment of donations received from
+outside the United States.  U.S. laws alone swamp our small staff.
+
+Please check the Project Gutenberg Web pages for current donation
+methods and addresses.  Donations are accepted in a number of other
+ways including checks, online payments and credit card donations.
+To donate, please visit: http://www.gutenberg.org/fundraising/donate
+
+
+Section 5.  General Information About Project Gutenberg-tm electronic
+works.
+
+Professor Michael S. Hart is the originator of the Project Gutenberg-tm
+concept of a library of electronic works that could be freely shared
+with anyone.  For thirty years, he produced and distributed Project
+Gutenberg-tm eBooks with only a loose network of volunteer support.
+
+Project Gutenberg-tm eBooks are often created from several printed
+editions, all of which are confirmed as Public Domain in the U.S.
+unless a copyright notice is included.  Thus, we do not necessarily
+keep eBooks in compliance with any particular paper edition.
+
+Each eBook is in a subdirectory of the same number as the eBook's
+eBook number, often in several formats including plain vanilla ASCII,
+compressed (zipped), HTML and others.
+
+Corrected EDITIONS of our eBooks replace the old file and take over
+the old filename and etext number.  The replaced older file is renamed.
+VERSIONS based on separate sources are treated as new eBooks receiving
+new filenames and etext numbers.
+
+Most people start at our Web site which has the main PG search facility:
+
+<a href="http://www.gutenberg.org">http://www.gutenberg.org</a>
+
+This Web site includes information about Project Gutenberg-tm,
+including how to make donations to the Project Gutenberg Literary
+Archive Foundation, how to help produce our new eBooks, and how to
+subscribe to our email newsletter to hear about new eBooks.
+
+EBooks posted prior to November 2003, with eBook numbers BELOW #10000,
+are filed in directories based on their release date.  If you want to
+download any of these eBooks directly, rather than using the regular
+search system you may utilize the following addresses and just
+download by the etext year.
+
+<a href="http://www.gutenberg.org/dirs/etext06/">http://www.gutenberg.org/dirs/etext06/</a>
+
+    (Or /etext 05, 04, 03, 02, 01, 00, 99,
+     98, 97, 96, 95, 94, 93, 92, 92, 91 or 90)
+
+EBooks posted since November 2003, with etext numbers OVER #10000, are
+filed in a different way.  The year of a release date is no longer part
+of the directory path.  The path is based on the etext number (which is
+identical to the filename).  The path to the file is made up of single
+digits corresponding to all but the last digit in the filename.  For
+example an eBook of filename 10234 would be found at:
+
+http://www.gutenberg.org/dirs/1/0/2/3/10234
+
+or filename 24689 would be found at:
+http://www.gutenberg.org/dirs/2/4/6/8/24689
+
+An alternative method of locating eBooks:
+<a href="http://www.gutenberg.org/dirs/GUTINDEX.ALL">http://www.gutenberg.org/dirs/GUTINDEX.ALL</a>

+
+THE PROCEEDINGS
+
+OF THE
+
+FIRST ASSEMBLY OF VIRGINIA,
+
+_Held July 30th, 1619._
+
+
+
+
+INTRODUCTION.
+
+
+The documents herewith presented are printed from copies obtained from
+the Public Record Office of Great Britain. When the question of the
+boundary line between Maryland and Virginia was before the Legislature
+of the latter State, in 1860, Colonel Angus W. McDonald was sent to
+England to obtain the papers necessary to protect the interests of
+Virginia. He brought back "nine volumes of manuscripts and one book
+containing forty-eight maps" (see his report, Virginia Legislative
+Documents, No. 39, 1861,). The volumes of manuscripts contained, upon an
+average, 425 pages each, and were filled with valuable historical
+documents, of many of which no copies had ever been seen on this
+continent since the originals were sent from the Colony of Virginia. In
+a conversation with the writer, held soon after his return from England,
+in March, 1861, Colonel McDonald stated that having obtained copies of
+all the documents relating to the question of the boundary line which
+could be found, and having more money left of the appropriation made
+than was needed to pay the expenses of his return home, he decided to
+devote the surplus to obtaining copies of papers relating to the early
+history of the State, without reference to the question of the boundary
+line. This statement will, we presume, satisfactorily account for the
+presence in his collection of such papers as do not relate to the
+subject upon which he was engaged. That he was well qualified to select
+such papers is evident from an examination of the list which he made
+out.
+
+During the occupation of the State capital building by the Federal
+troops and officials, after the surrender of the Confederate authorities
+in April, 1865, a very large quantity of the official documents filed in
+the archives of the State were removed from that building, and at the
+same time four of the nine volumes and the portfolio of maps above
+mentioned. Nothing has been heard from any of them since. In 1870, the
+question of the boundary line being again before the Legislature of
+Virginia, the Governor sent the Hon. D.C. De Jarnette upon the same
+errand that Colonel McDonald had so well performed, and the result was
+the obtaining of such papers as he could find relating to the subject
+under consideration, including duplicates of some of those which though
+useful in this connection, are included in the five volumes remaining of
+those collected by Col. McDonald; also, charters of great length, but
+which are to be found in print in the histories and statutes of the
+State, and many of the miscellaneous papers which Colonel McDonald had
+copied under the circumstances above named. Among the latter is the
+account of the first meeting of the Assembly at Jamestown in 1619. When
+Colonel McDonald visited the State Paper Office (as it was then called)
+in 1860, this great repository of historical materials had not been
+thrown open to the public, and he tells us in his report that it was
+"twenty days after his arrival in London before he could obtain
+permission to examine the archives of the State Paper Office." A year or
+two afterwards all of the restrictions which had existed were removed,
+the papers arranged chronologically, and an index made by which they
+could be referred to. Farther, W. Noel Sainsbury, Esq., one of the
+officers of what is now called the Public Record Office, had published a
+calendar of all the papers relating to the British colonies in North
+America and the West Indies, from the first discoveries to 1660 (soon be
+followed by another coming down to the period of the independence of the
+United States), which contains a brief abstract of every paper included
+in the above named period, so that enquirers upon subjects embraced in
+this calendar can by reference see what the office has on file relating
+to it, and obtain copies of the documents required, at a much less cost
+than a voyage to England. Acting upon this knowledge, the Library
+Committee of the Virginia Legislature has made a contract with Mr.
+Sainsbury for copies of the titles and copious abstracts of every paper
+in the Public Record Office, and other repositories, which relates to
+the history of Virginia while a Colony. All of which he proposes to
+furnish for about L250, being less than one-half the cost of either of
+the missions sent, which have obtained only a small fraction of the
+papers which we are to receive. He is performing his work in a most
+satisfactory manner; so much is he interested in the task that he has
+greatly exceeded his agreement by furnishing gratuitously full and
+complete copies of many documents of more than ordinary interest. Yet
+notwithstanding the known facilities afforded by the British Government
+and its officials, Mr. De Jarnette complains that he was refused
+permission to examine the Rolls Office and the State Paper Office (see
+his report, Senate Documents Session 1871-'2, p. 12); and further, on
+page 15, he informs us that the papers which he obtained "had to be dug
+from a mountain of Colonial records with care and labor." His troubles
+were further increased by the fact that "the Colonial papers are not
+arranged under heads of respective Colonies, but thrown promiscuously
+together and constitute an immense mass of ill kept and badly written
+records," ib. p. 22.
+
+The reader will infer from the preceding remarks that the State has two
+complete copies of the record of the proceedings of the first Assembly
+which met at Jamestown, viz: the McDonald and the De Jarnette copies,
+and also an abstract furnished by Mr. Sainsbury. Bancroft, the
+historian, obtained a copy of this paper, which was printed in the
+collections of the New York Historical Society for 1857. We have
+therefore been enabled to compare three different versions, and in a
+measure, a fourth. The De Jarnette copy being in loose sheets, written
+on one side only, was selected as the most convenient for the printer,
+and the text is printed from it. Where this differs from either of the
+others the foot notes show the differences, and, when no reference is
+made it is because all of them correspond.
+
+When these papers were submitted as a part of the report of the
+Commissioners on the Boundary Line a joint resolution was adopted by
+both houses of the Legislature authorizing the Committee on the Library
+to print such of the papers as might be selected, provided the consent
+of the Commission could be obtained. Application was made to allow the
+first and second papers in this pamphlet to be printed but it was
+refused. The Commission having been dissolved the Committee on the
+Library have assumed the responsibility and herewith submit this
+instalment of these interesting documents, which were written before the
+Colony of Maryland was known, and all of which, save the first, were
+never before printed.
+
+The Report of the proceedings of the first Assembly is prefaced with the
+introductory note published with Mr. Bancroft's copy, to which a few
+notes explanatory have been added.
+
+Trusting that this instalment of these historical records of the Ancient
+Dominion will be acceptable to the students of our early history, and
+sufficiently impress the members of the Legislature with their value to
+move them to make an appropriation sufficient to print all that has been
+obtained, this is

+_INTRODUCTORY NOTE._
+
+
+Virginia, for twelve years after its settlement, languished under the
+government of Sir Thomas Smith, Treasurer of the Virginia Company in
+England. The Colony was ruled during that period by laws written in
+blood; and its history shows how the narrow selfishness of despotic
+power could counteract the best efforts of benevolence. The colonists
+suffered an extremity of distress too horrible to be described.
+In April, 1619, Sir George Yeardley arrived. Of the emigrants who had
+been sent over at great cost, not one in twenty then remained alive. "In
+James Citty were only those houses that Sir Thomas Gates built in the
+tyme of his government, with one wherein the Governor allwayes dwelt,
+and a church, built wholly at the charge of the inhabitants of that
+citye, of timber, being fifty foote in length and twenty foot in
+breadth." At Henrico, now Richmond, there were no more than "three old
+houses, a poor ruinated Church, with some few poore buildings in the
+Islande."[1] "For ministers to instruct the people, he founde only three
+authorized, two others who never received their orders." "The natives he
+founde uppon doubtfull termes;" so that when the twelve years of Sir
+Thomas Smith's government expired, Virginia, according to the
+"judgements" of those who were then members of the Colony, was "in a
+poore estate."[A]
+
+From the moment of Yeardley's arrival dates the real life of Virginia.
+He brought with him "Commissions and instructions from the Company for
+the better establishinge of a Commonwealth heere."[B] He made
+proclamation, "that those cruell lawes by which we" (I use the words of
+the Ancient Planters themselves) "had soe longe been governed, were now
+abrogated, and that we were to be governed by those free lawes which his
+Majesties subjectes live under in Englande." Nor were these
+considerations made dependent on the good will of administrative
+officers.
+
+"And that they might have a hande in the governinge of themselves," such
+are the words of the Planters, "yt was graunted that a generall
+Assemblie shoulde be helde yearly once, whereat were to be present the
+Gov^r and Counsell w^{th} two Burgesses from each Plantation, freely to
+be elected by the Inhabitants thereof, this Assemblie to have power to
+make and ordaine whatsoever lawes and orders should by them be thought
+good and proffitable for our subsistance."[C]
+
+In conformity with these instructions, Sir George Yeardley "sente his
+summons all over the country, as well to invite those of the Counsell of
+Estate that were absente, as also for the election of Burgesses;"[D] and
+on Friday, the 30th day of July, 1619, the first elective legislative
+body of this continent assembled at James City.
+
+In the relation of Master John Rolfe, inserted by Captain John Smith in
+his History of Virginia,[E] there is this meagre notice of the Assembly:
+"The 25 of June came in the _Triall_ with Corne and Cattell in all
+safety, which tooke from vs cleerely all feare of famine; then our
+gouernor and councell caused Burgesses to be chosen in all places and
+met at a generall Assembly, where all matters were debated thought
+expedient for the good of the Colony."
+This account did not attract the attention of Beverley, the early
+historian of Virginia, who denies that there was any Assembly held there
+before May, 1620.[F]
+
+The careful Stith, whose work is not to be corrected without a hearty
+recognition of his superior diligence and exemplary fidelity, gives an
+account[G] of this first legislative body, though he errs a little in
+the date by an inference from Rolfe's narrative, which the words do not
+warrant.
+
+The prosperity of Virginia begins with the day when it received, as "a
+commonwealth," the freedom to make laws for itself. In a solemn address
+to King James, which was made during the government of Sir Francis
+Wyatt, and bears the signature of the Governor, Council, and apparently
+every member of the Assembly, a contrast is drawn between the former
+"miserable bondage," and "this just and gentle authoritye which hath
+cherished us of late by more worthy magistrates. And we, our wives and
+poor children shall ever pray to God, as our bounden duty is, to give
+you in this worlde all increase of happines, and to crowne you in the
+worlde to come w^{th} immortall glorye."[H]
+
+A desire has long existed to recover the record of the proceedings of
+the Assembly which inaugurated so happy a revolution. Stith was unable
+to find it; no traces of it were met by Jefferson; and Hening,[I] and
+those who followed Hening, believed it no longer extant. Indeed, it was
+given up as hopelessly lost.
+
+Having, during a long period of years, instituted a very thorough
+research among the papers relating to America in the British State Paper
+Office, partly in person and partly with the assistance of able and
+intelligent men employed in that Department, I have at last been so
+fortunate as to obtain the "Proceedings of the First Assembly of
+Virginia."[5] the document is in the form of "a reporte" from the
+Speaker; and is more fall and circumstantial than any subsequent
+journal of early legislation in the Ancient Dominion.
+
+Many things are noticeable. The Governor and Council sat with the
+Burgesses; and took part in motions and debates. The Secretary of the
+Colony was chosen Speaker, and I am not sure that he was a Burgess.[6]
+This first American Assembly set the precedent of beginning legislation
+with prayer. It is evident that Virginia was then as thoroughly a Church
+of England colony, as Connecticut afterwards was a Calvinistic one. The
+inauguration of legislative power in the Ancient Dominion preceded the
+existence of negro slavery, which we will believe it is destined also to
+survive. The earliest Assembly in the oldest of the original thirteen
+States, at its first session, took measures "towards the erecting of" a
+"University and Colledge." Care was also taken for the education of
+Indian children. Extravagance in dress was not prohibited, but the
+ministers were to profit by a tax on excess in apparel. On the whole,
+the record of these Proceedings will justify the opinion of Sir Edward
+Sandys, that "they were very well and judiciously carried." The
+different functions of government may have been confounded and the laws
+were not framed according to any speculative theory; but a perpetual
+interest attaches to the first elective body representing the people of
+Virginia, more than a year before the Mayflower, with the Pilgrims, left
+the harbor of Southampton, and while Virginia was still the oldest
+British Colony on the whole Continent of America.

+[3] "These Burgesses met the Governor and Council at Jamestown in 1620,
+and sat in consultation in the same house with them as the method of the
+Scots Parliament is." "This was the first Generall Assembly that ever
+was held there."--Beverley.--ED.
+
+[4] "And about the latter end of June (1619) he (Sir George Yeardley,
+Governor,) called the first General Assembly that was ever held in
+Virginia. Counties were not yet laid of, but they elected their
+representatives by townships. So that the Burroughs of Jamestown,
+Henrico, Bermuda Hundred, and the rest, each sent their members to the
+Assembly." * * * * "and hence it is that our lower house of Assembly was
+first called the House of Burgesses," Stith, p. 160. "In May, this year
+(1620), there was held another Generall Assembly, which has, through
+mistake, and the indolence and negligence of our historians in searching
+such ancient records as are still extant in the country, been commonly
+reported the first General Assembly," Ib. p. 182. We do not see that
+Stith "errs" even "a little in the data." Rolfe says, "The 25 of June
+came in the _Triall_ with Corne and Cattell in all safety, which took
+from us cleerely all feare of famine, then our gouernor and councell
+caused Burgesses to be chosen in all places, and met at a general

+_met_, only that the governor called them to the latter part of
+June.--ED.
+
+[5] The first published notice of the existence of this paper occurred
+in the proceedings of the annual meeting of the Virginia Historical
+society, held December 15, 1853. In the report of the Executive
+Committee the chairman, Conway Robinson, Esq., states that he had seen
+the original report in the State Paper Office in London, on a recent
+visit to that city.--See Virginia Historical Reporter, Vol. I., 1854.
+Whatever question there may be in regard to priority of discovery, it is
+to be regretted that it was left to the Historical Society of another
+State to publish a document of so much value to the one to which it
+solely relates.--ED.
+
+[6] The Secretary of the Colony and Speaker of the first Assembly was
+John Pory. If he had been one of the Burgesses his name would have
+appeared with the others. Through the influence of the Earl at Warwick
+he was made Secretary to the Virginia Company. Campbell says, "He was
+educated at Cambridge, where he took the Master of Arts in April, 1610.
+It is supposed he was a member of the House of Commons. He was much of a
+traveller, and was at Venice in 1613, at Amsterdam in 1617, and shortly
+after at Paris." "Sir George Yeardley appointed him one of his
+Council."--Campbell, p. 139. The record shows that he acted as the
+presiding officer of the first Assembly, whether _ex officio_ or by
+selection is not stated. It will be seen that a typographical error in
+Bancroft's pamphlet makes his name Povy. In Smith's General Historie
+there is a paper styled "The observations of Master John Pory,
+Secretarie of Virginia, in his travels;" it gives an account of his
+voyage to the eastern shore.--Smith, p. 141. Neill says of him, "John
+Pory was a graduate of Cambridge, a great traveller and good writer, but
+gained the reputation of being a chronic tipler and literary vagabond
+and sponger." When young he excited the interest of Hakluyt, who, in a
+dedication to the third volume of his, remarks: "Now, because long since
+I did foresee that my profession of Divinitie, the care of my family;
+and other occasions, might call or divert me from these kind of
+endeavour, I, therefore have, for these three years last past,
+encouraged and gathered in these studies of Cosmographia and former
+histories my honest, industrious and learned friend, Mr. John Porey, one
+of speciall skill and extraordinary hope, to perform great matters in
+the same, and beneficial to the Commonwealth." "Pory, in 1600, prepared
+a _Geographical History of Africa_, but he soon disappointed the
+expectations of his friends."
+
+A letter from London, dated July 26, 1623, says: "Our old acquaintance,
+Mr. Porey, is in poore case, and in prison at the Terceras, whither he
+was driven by contrary winds, from the north coast of Virginia, where he
+had been upon some discovery, and upon his arrival he was arraigned and
+in danger of being hanged for a pirate." "He died about 1635." For
+further particulars from contemporary authorities, see Neill's History
+of the Virginia Company of London. Albany, Munsell, 1869.--ED.

+The most convenient place we could finde to sitt in was the Quire of the
+Churche Where Sir George Yeardley, the Governour, being sett downe in
+his accustomed place, those of the Counsel of Estate sate nexte him on
+both handes, excepte onely the Secretary then appointed Speaker, who
+sate right before him, John Twine, clerke[12] of the General assembly,
+being placed nexte the Speaker, and Thomas Pierse, the Sergeant,
+standing at the barre, to be ready for any service the Assembly shoulde
+comaund[13] him. But forasmuche as men's affaires doe little prosper
+where God's service is neglected, all the Burgesses tooke their places
+in the Quire till a prayer was said by Mr. Bucke, the Minister, that it
+would please God to guide and sanctifie all our proceedings[14] to his
+owne glory and the good of this Plantation. Prayer being ended, to the
+intente that as we[15] had begun at God Almighty, so we[16] might
+proceed w^{th} awful and due respecte towards the Lieutenant, our most
+gratious and dread Soveraigne, all the Burgesses were intreatted to
+retyre themselves into the body of the Churche, w^{ch} being done,
+before they were fully admitted, they were called in order and by name,
+and so every man (none staggering at it) tooke the oathe of Supremacy,
+and then entred[17] the Assembly. At Captaine Warde the Speaker tooke
+exception, as at one that without any Comission or authority had seatted
+himselfe either upon the Companies, and then his Plantation would not be
+lawfull, or on Captain Martin's lande, and so[18] he was but a limbe or
+member of him, and there could be but two Burgesses for all. So Captaine
+Warde was comanded to absente himselfe till such time as the Assembly
+had agreed what was fitt for him to doe. After muche debate, they
+resolved on this order following:

+[7] Boyes, McDonald.

+
+     An order concluded by the General assembly concerning Captaine
+     Warde, July 30^{th},[19] 1619, at the opening of the said
+     Assembly.
+
+At the reading of the names of the Burgesses, Exception was taken
+against Captaine Warde as having planted here in Virginia without any
+authority or comission from the Tresurer, Counsell and Company in
+Englande. But considering he had bene at so great chardge and paines to
+augmente this Colony, and had adventured his owne person in the action,
+and since that time had brought home a good[20] quantity of fishe, to
+relieve the Colony by waye of trade, and above all, because the
+Comission for authorising the General Assembly admitteth of two
+Burgesses out of every plantation w^{th}out restrainte or exception.
+Upon all these considerations, the Assembly was contented to admitt of
+him and his Lieutenant (as members of their body and Burgesses) into
+their society. Provided, that the said Captaine Warde, w^{th} all
+expedition, that is to saye between this and the nexte general assembly
+(all lawful impediments excepted), should procure from the Tresurer,[21]
+Counsell and Company in England a comission lawfully to establish[22]
+and plant himselfe and his Company as the Chieffs[23] of other
+Plantations have done. And in case he doe neglect this he is to stande
+to the censure of the nexte generall assembly. To this Captaine Warde,
+in the presence of us all, having given his consente and undertaken to
+performe the same, was, together w^{th} his Lieutenant, by voices of the
+whole Assembly first admitted to take the oath of Supremacy, and then to
+make up their number and to sitt amongst them.
+
+[19] 30, Bancroft.
+
+[20] goode, McDonald.
+
+[21] Treasurer, McDonald.
+
+[22] establishe, McDonald, Bancroft.
+
+[23] Chiefes, McDonald.
+
+This being done, the Governour himselfe alledged that before we
+proceeded any further it behooved us to examine whither it were fitt,
+that Captaine Martin's Burgesses shoulde[24] have any place in the
+Assembly, forasmuche as he hath a clause in his Patente w^{ch} doth not
+onely exempte him from that equality and uniformity of lawes and orders
+w^{er}[25] the great charter faith are to extende[26] over the whole
+Colony, but also from diverse such lawes as we must be enforced[27] to
+make in the General Assembly. That clause is as followeth: Item. That it
+shall and may be lawfull to and for the said Captain John Martin, his
+heyers, executours and assignes to governe and comaunde all suche[28]
+person or persons as at this time he shall carry over with him, or that
+shalbe[29] sente him hereafter, free from any comaunde of the Colony,
+excepte it be in ayding and assisting the same against[30] any forren or
+domestical enemy.
+
+[24] should, Bancroft.
+
+[25] W^{ch}, McDonald and Bancroft.
+
+[26] extend, Bancroft.
+
+[27] inforced, McDonald.
+
+[28] such, McDonald.
+
+[29] shall be, McDonald.
+
+[30] ag^{st}, McDonald.
+
+Upon the[31] motion of the Governour, discussed the same time in the
+assembly, ensued this order following:
+
+     An order of the General Assembly touching a clause in
+     Captain[32] Martin's Patent at James Citty, July 30, 1619.
+
+After all the Burgesses had taken the oath of Supremacy and were
+admitted into the house, and all sett downe in their places, a Copie of
+Captain[33] Martin's Patent[34] was produced by the Govern^{or}[35] out
+of a Clause whereof it appeared that when the general[36] assembly had
+made some kinde of lawes requisite for the whole Colony, he and his
+Burgesses and people might deride the whole company and chuse whether
+they would obay[37] the same or no.[M] It was therefore ordered in
+Courte that the foresaid two Burgesses should w^{th}drawe themselves out
+of the assembly till suche time as Captaine Martin had made his
+personall appearance before them. At what time, if upon their motion, if
+he would be contente to quitte and give over that parte of his Patente,
+and contrary therunto woulde submitte himselfe to the general forme of
+governemente as all others did, that then his Burgesses should be
+readmitted, otherwise they were utterly to be excluded as being spies
+rather than[43] loyal Burgesses, because they had offered themselves to
+be assistant at the making of[44] lawes w^{ch} both themselves and those
+whom they represented might chuse whether they would obaye[45] or not.
+
+[M] The following passage is a side note on the margin of the McDonald
+and De Jarnette copies, but Bancroft includes it in the text:--The
+authority of Captaine[38] Martin's Patent graunted by the Counsell &
+Company under their Comon[39] Seale, being of an higher condition[40]
+and of greatter[41] force then any Acte of the General[42] Assembly.

+
+Then came there in a complainte against Captain[46] Martin, that having
+sente his Shallop to trade for corne into the baye, under the commaunde
+of one Ensigne Harrison, the saide Ensigne should affirme to one Thomas
+Davis, of Paspaheighe,[47] Gent. (as the said Thomas Davis deposed upon
+oathe,) that they had made a harde voiage, had they not mett w^{th} a
+Canoa coming out of a creeke where their shallop could not goe. For the
+Indians refusing to sell their Corne, those of the shallop entered the
+Canoa w^{th} their armes and tooke it by force, measuring out the corne
+w^{th} a baskett they had into the Shallop and (as the said Ensigne
+Harrison saith) giving them satisfaction in copper beades[48] and other
+trucking stuffe.
+
+Hitherto Mr. Davys upon his oath.

+w^{ch} considerations and because suche[50] outrages as this might
+breede danger and loss[51] of life to others of the Colony w^{ch} should
+have leave to trade in the baye hereafter, and for prevention of the
+like violences against the Indians in time to come, this order following
+was agreed on by the general assembly:
+
+     A second order against Captain Martin, at James citty, July 30,
+     1619.
+
+It was also ordered by the Assembly the same daye that in case Captaine
+Martin and the ging of his shallop would[52] not throughly answere an
+accusation of an outrage comitted against a certaine Canoa of Indians in
+the baye, that then it was thought reason (his Patent,[53]
+notw^{th}standing the authority whereof, he had in that case abused) he
+shoulde[54] from henceforth take leave of the Governour[55] as other
+men, and should putt[56] in security, that his people shall comitte no
+such[57] outrage any more.
+
+[49] iustice, McDonald.
+
+[50] such, McDonald.
+
+[51] losse, McDonald.
+
+[52] could, McDonald, Bancroft.
+
+[53] Patente, McDonald and Bancroft.
+
+[54] should, Bancroft.
+
+[55] Governor, McDonald.
+
+[56] put, McDonald.
+
+[57] suche, McDonald and Bancroft.
+
+Upon this a letter or warrant was drawen in the name of the whole
+assembly to sumon Captaine Martin to appeare before them in forme
+following:
+
+     By the Governo^r[58] and general assembly of Virginia.
+
+     Captaine Martine, we are to request[59] you upon sight hereof,
+     with all convenient speed to repaire hither to James citty to
+     treatt and conferre w^{th} us about some matters of
+     especial[60] importance, w^{ch} concerns[61] both us and the
+     whole Colony and yourself. And of this we praye you not to
+     faile.
+
+     James citty, July 30, 1619.
+
+     To our very loving friend, Captain John Martin, Esquire, Master
+     of the ordinance.
+
+[58] Governour, Bancroft.
+
+[59] request, McDonald.
+
+[60] especiall, McDonald.
+
+[61] concerne, McDonald and Bancroft.
+
+These obstacles removed, the Speaker, who a long time had bene extreame
+sickly, and therefore not able to passe through long harangues,
+delivered in briefe to the whole assembly the occasions of their
+meeting. Which[62] done, he read unto them the comission for
+establishing the Counsell of Estate and the general[63] Assembly,
+wherein their duties were described to the life.
+
+Having thus prepared them, he read over unto them the greate Charter, or
+comission of priviledges, orders and lawes, sent by Sir George Yeardley
+out of Englande.[64] Which[65] for the more ease of the Committies,
+having divided into fower books, he read the former two the same
+forenoon for expeditious[66] sake, a second time over, and so they were
+referred to the perusall of twoe Comitties, w^{ch} did reciprocally
+consider of either, and accordingly brought in their opinions. But some
+man may here objecte to what ende we should presume to referre that to
+the examination of Comitties w^{ch} the Counsell and Company in
+England[67] had already resolved to be perfect, and did expecte
+nothing[68] but our assente thereunto?[69] To this we answere, that we
+did it not to the ende to correcte or controll anything therein
+contained, but onely in case we should finde ought not perfectly
+squaring w^{th} the state of this Colony or any lawe w^{ch} did presse
+or binde too harde, that we might by waye of humble petition, seeke to
+have it redressed, especially because this great Charter is to binde us
+and our heyers for ever.

+
+After dinner the Governo^r and those that were not of the Comitties[70]
+sate a seconde time, while the said Comitties[71] were employed in the
+perusall of those twoe bookes. And whereas the Speaker had propounded
+fower severall objects for the Assembly to confider on: namely, first,
+the great charter of orders, lawes and priviledges; Secondly, which of
+the instructions given by the Counsel in England to my lo: la:
+warre,[72] Captain Argall or Sir George Yeardley, might conveniently
+putt on the habite of lawes; Thirdly, what lawes might issue out of the
+private conceipte of any of the Burgesses, or any other of the Colony;
+and lastly, what petitions were[73] fitt to be sente home for England.
+It pleased the Governou^r[74] for expedition[75] sake to have the second
+objecte[76] of the fower to be examined & prepared by himselfe and the
+Non-Comitties. Wherin after having spente some three howers'[77]
+conference, the twoe Committies[78] brought in their opinions concerning
+the twoe former bookes, (the second of which beginneth at these wordes
+of the Charter: And forasmuche as our intente is to establish one equall
+and uniforme kinde of government over all Virginia &c.,)[79] w^{ch} the

+SATTURDAY, July 31.
+
+The nexte daye, therefore, out of the opinions of the said
+Comitties,[81] it was agreed, these[82] Petitions ensuing should be
+framed, to be presented to the Treasurer, Counsel & Company in England.
+Upon the Comitties'[83] perusall of the first booke,[84] the General[85]
+Assembly doe become most humble suitours to their lo^{ps} and to the
+rest of that hon^{ble} Counsell and renowned Company, that albeit they
+have bene pleased[86] to allotte unto the Governo^r[87] to themselves,
+together w^{th} the Counsell of Estate here, and[88] to the officers of
+Incorporations, certain lande[89] portions of lande to be layde out
+w^{th}in the limites of the same, yet that[90] they woulde vouchsafe
+also,[91] that[92] groundes as heretofore had bene granted by patent to
+the antient[93] Planters by former Governours that had from the Company
+received comission[94] so to doe, might not nowe after so muche labour
+and coste, and so many yeares habitation be taken from them. And to the
+ende that no man might doe or suffer any wrong in this kinde, that they
+woulde favour us so muche (if they meane to graunte this our petition)
+as to sende us notice, what comission or authority for graunting of
+landes they have given to eache[95] particular Governour in times paste.
+
+[81] Comittees, McDonald.
+
+[82] those, McDonald.
+
+[83] Comittees, McDonald.
+
+[84] book, McDonald.
+
+[85] Generall, McDonald.
+
+[86] pleas'd, McDonald.
+
+[87] Govern^r, McDonald; Gov^r, Bancroft.
+
+[88] &, McDonald.
+
+[89] large, McDonald.
+
+[90] Bancroft omits "that."
+
+[91] alsoe, Bancroft.
+
+[92] McDonald has such and Bancroft suche after that.
+
+[93] ancient, McDonald.
+
+[94] Comiss^n, Bancroft.
+
+[95] each, Bancroft.
+
+The second petition of the General assembly framed by the Comitties[96]
+out of the second book is. That the Treasurer[97] & Company in England
+would be pleased w^{th} as muche convenient speed[98] as may be to sende
+men hither to occupie their landes belonging to the fower
+Incorporations, as well for their owne[99] behoofe and proffitt as for
+the maintenance of the Counsel[100] of Estate, who are nowe[101] to
+their extream hindrance often drawen far from their private busines and
+likewise that they will have a care to sende[102] tenants to the
+ministers of the fower Incorporations to manure their gleab, to the
+intente that the allowance they have allotted them of 200 G.[103] a
+yeare may the more easily be raised.
+
+[96] Comittess, McDonald.
+
+[97] Tresurer, McDonald.
+
+[98] speede, McDonald.
+
+[99] own, Bancroft.
+
+[100] Counsell, McDonald and Bancroft.
+
+[101] now, McDonald.
+
+[102] send, McDonald.
+
+[103] L200, Bancroft.
+
+The thirde Petition humbly presented by this General Assembly to the
+Treasurer, Counsell & Company is, that it may plainely be expressed in
+the great Comission (as indeed it is not) that the antient Planters of
+both sortes, viz., suche as before Sir Thomas Dales' depart[104] were
+come hither upon their owne chardges,[105] and suche also as were
+brought hither upon the Companie's coste, maye have their second, third
+and more divisions successively in as lardge and free manner as any
+other Planters. Also that they wilbe pleased to allowe to the male
+children, of them and of all others begotten in Virginia, being the
+onely hope of a posterity, a single share a piece, and shares for their
+issues or[106] for themselves, because that in a newe plantation it is
+not knowen whether man or woman be the more necessary.
+
+[104] In the McDonaldcopy this was just written departure, then "ure"
+crossed out with a pen, and the word made department. Bancroft has
+departure.
+
+[105] Charges, McDonald.
+
+[106] McDonald and Bancroft both have "wives as," instead of "issues
+or," the former being evidently the proper words.
+
+Their fourth Petition is to beseech the Treasurer, Counsell & Company
+that they would be pleased to appoint a Sub-Tresurer[107] here to
+collecte their rents,[108] to the ende that[109] the Inhabitants of this
+Colony be not tyed to an impossibility of paying the same yearly to the
+Treasurer in England, and that they would enjoine the said Sub-Treasurer
+not precisely according to the letter of the Charter to exacte mony of
+us (whereof we have none at all, as we have no minte), but the true
+value of the rente in comodity.
+
+[107] Treasurer, McDonald.
+[108] rentes, McDonald, Bancroft.
+
+[109] McDonald and Bancroft both omit that.
+
+The fifte Petition is to beseeche the Treasurer, Counsell & Company
+that, towards the erecting of the University and Colledge, they will
+sende, when they shall thinke[110] it most convenient, workmen of all
+sortes, fitt for that purpose.
+
+[110] McDonald and Bancroft omit it.
+
+The sixte and laste is, they wilbe[111] pleased to change the savage
+name of Kiccowtan, and to give that Incorporation a newe name.
+
+[111] will be, McDonald.
+
+These are the general Petitions drawen by the Comitties out of the two
+former bookes w^{ch} the whole general assembly in maner and forme
+above[112] sett downe doe most humbly offer up and present[113] to the
+honourable construction of the Treasurer, Counsell and Company in
+England.
+
+[112] sette, Bancroft.
+
+[113] presente, McDonald and Bancroft.
+
+These petitions thus concluded on, those twoe Comitties broughte me[114]
+a reporte what they had observed in the two latter bookes, w^{ch} was
+nothing else but that the perfection of them was suche as that[115] they
+could finde nothing therein subject to exception, only the
+Governo^{rs}[116] particular opinion to my selfe in private hathe bene
+as touching a clause in the thirde booke, that in these doubtfull times
+between us and the Indians, it would beehoove[117] us not to make
+as[118] lardge distances between Plantation and Plantation as ten miles,
+but for our more strength ande security to drawe nearer together.
+
+[114] In, McDonald, Bancroft.
+
+[115] McDonald and Bancroft omit that.
+
+[116] Govn^{rs}, McDonald; Gov^{rs}, Bancroft.
+
+[117] Behoove, McDonald, Bancroft.
+
+[118] So, McDonald, Bancroft.
+
+At the same time, there remaining no[119] farther scruple in the mindes
+of the Assembly touching the said great Charter of lawes, orders and
+priviledges, the Speaker putt the same to the question, and so it had
+both the general assent and the applause of the whole assembly, who, as
+they professed themselves in the first place most submissively thankfull
+to almighty god, therefore so they commaunded the Speaker to returne (as
+nowe he doth) their due and humble thankes to the Treasurer, Counsell
+and company for so many priviledges and favours as well in their owne
+names as in the names of the whole Colony whom they represented.
+
+[119] Noe, McDonald.
+
+This being dispatched we fell once more[120] debating of suche
+instructions given by the Counsell in England to several[121]
+Governo^{rs}[122] as might be converted into lawes, the last whereof was
+the Establishment of the price of Tobacco, namely, of the best at
+3d[123] and the second at 18d the pounde. At the reading of this the
+Assembly thought good to send for Mr. Abraham Persey, the Cape marchant,
+to publishe this instruction to him, and to demaunde[124] of him if he
+knewe of any impediment why it might not be admitted of? His
+answere[125] was that he had not as yet received any suche order from
+the Adventurers of the[126] ---- in England. And notw^{th}standing he
+sawe the authority was good, yet was he unwilling to yield, till suche
+time as the Governo^r[127] and Assembly had layd their commandment upon
+him, out of the authority of the foresaid Instructions as followeth:
+
+By the General Assembly.
+
+We will and require you, Mr. Abraham Persey, Cape Marchant, from this
+daye forwarde to take notice, that, according to an article in the
+Instructions confirmed by the Treasurer, Counsell[128] and Company in
+Englande at a general quarter courte, both by[129] voices and under
+their hands[130] and the Comon seall,[131] and given to Sir George
+Yeardley, knight, this present governour, Decemb.[132] 3, 1618, that
+you are bounde to accepte of the Tobacco of the Colony, either for
+commodities or upon billes,[133] at three shillings the beste[134] and
+the second sorte at 18d the pounde, and this shalbe[135] your sufficient
+dischardge.

+At the same[137] the Instructions convertible into lawes were referred

+SUNDAY, Aug. 1.
+
+Mr. Shelley, one of the Burgesses, deceased.
+
+MUNDAY,[140] Aug. 2.
+
+Captain John Martin (according to the sumons sent him on Fryday,[141]
+July 30,) made his personall appearance at the barre, whenas the Speaker
+having first read unto him the orders of the Assembly that concerned
+him, he pleaded lardgely for himself[142] to them both and
+indevoured[143] to answere some other thinges[144] that were objected
+against[145] his Patente. In fine, being demanded out of the former
+order whether he would quitte that clause of his Patent[146] w^{ch}
+(quite otherwise then Sir William Throckmorton's, Captain Christopher
+Dawnes'[147] and other men's patentes) exempteth himselffe and his
+people from all services of the Colonie excepte onely in case of warre
+against[148] a forren or domesticall enemie. His answere[149] was
+negative, that he would not infringe any parte[150] of his Patente.
+Whereupon it was resolved by the Assembly that his Burgesses should have
+no admittance.
+
+[140] Monday, McDonald and Bancroft.
+
+[141] Friday, McDonald.

+
+[148] ag^{st}, McDonald.
+
+[149] answer, Bancroft.
+
+[150] part, McDonald and Bancroft.
+
+To the second order his answere was affirmative, namely, that (his
+Patent[151] notwithstanding) whensoever he should send into the baye to
+trade, he would[152] be contente to putt in security to the
+Governour[153] for the good behaviour of his people towardes[154] the
+Indians.
+
+[151] patente, McDonald.
+[152] woulde, McDonald.
+
+[153] Gov^r, Bancroft.
+
+[154] towards, Bancroft.
+
+It was at the same time further ordered by the Assembly that the
+Speaker, in their names, should (as he nowe doth[155]) humbly
+demaunde[156] of the Treasurer, Counsell[157] and Company an exposition
+of this one clause in Captaine[158] Martin's Patente, namely, where it
+is saide That he is to enjoye[159] his landes in as lardge[160] and
+ample manner, to all intentes and[161] purposes, as any lord of any
+manours in England dothe holde his grounde out of w^{ch} some have
+collected that he might by the same graunte protecte men from paying
+their debts and from diverse other dangers of lawe. The least the
+Assembly can alledge against this clause is, that it is obscure, and
+that it is a thing impossible for us here to knowe the Prerogatives of
+all the manours in Englande. The Assembly therefore humbly beseeche[162]
+their lo^{pps}[163] and the rest of that hon^{ble} house[164] that in
+case they shall finde any thing in this or in any other parte of his
+graunte wherby that clause towardes the conclusion of the great charter,
+(viz., that all grauntes aswell of the one sorte as of the other
+respectively, be made w^{th} equall favour, & graunts[165] of like
+liberties & imunities[166] as neer as may be, to the ende that all
+complainte[167] of partiality and indifferency[168] may be avoided,)
+might[169] in any sorte be contradicted or the uniformity and
+equality[170] of lawes and[171] orders extending over the whole Colony
+might be impeached, That they would be pleased to remove any such
+hindrance as may diverte out of the true course the free and[172]

+Captaine[177] Martin and his people from all services of the Colony &c.,
+they shall finde any resistance against[178] that equality and[179]

+besides, doth claim 500 acres a share, that the Treasurer, Counsell and
+Company woulde vouchsafe to give notice to the Governour[184] here, what

+
+By this present Generall Assembly be it enacted, that no[191] injury or

+whereby the present peace might be disturbed and antient quarrells might

+persuade and incite men, but inforce them also thoroughly and loyally
+to aire their Tobacco before they bring it to the Magazine,[291] be it
+enacted, and by these presents we doe enacte, that if upon the Judgement

+This done, Captaine[298] William Powell presented to the Assembly a
+petition to have justice against a lewde[299] and trecherous servante of
+his who by false accusation given up in writing to the Governo^r[300]
+sought not onely to gett[301] him deposed from his government of James
+citty and utterly (according to the Proclamation) to be degraded from
+the place and title of a Captaine, but to take his life from him also.
+And so out of the said Petition sprang this order following:
+
+Captaine William Powell presented a Petition to the generall[302]
+Assembly against[303] one Thomas Garnett, a servant of his, not onely
+for extreame neglect of his business to the great loss[304] and
+prejudice of the said Captaine, and for openly and impudently abusing
+his house, in sight both of Master and Mistresse, through wantonnes[305]
+w^{th} a woman servant of theirs, a widdowe, but also for falsely
+accusing him to the Governo^r[306] both of Drunkenes &[307] Thefte, and
+besides for bringing all[308] his fellow servants to testifie[309] on
+his side, wherein they justly failled[310] him. It was thought fitt by
+the general assembly (the Governour himselfe[311] giving sentence), that
+he should stand[312] fower dayes with his eares nayled to the Pillory,
+viz: Wednesday, Aug. 4^{th}, and so likewise Thursday, fryday and
+Satturday[313] next following, and every of those fower dayes should be
+publiquely whipped. Now, as touching the neglecte of his worke, what

+unseemly[317] and amisse of certaine thinges[318] wherein he was never
+faulty, and besides, casteth some aspersion upon the present government,
+w^{ch} is the most temperate and juste[319] that ever was in this
+country, too milde, indeed, for many of[320] this Colony, whom
+unwoonted[321] liberty hath made insolente and not to knowe[322]
+themselves. This Petition of M^r Rolfes' was thought fitt to be referred

+
+All these lawes being thus concluded and consented to as aforesaide[413]
+Captaine Henry Spellman[414] was called to the barre to answere to
+certaine misdemeano^{rs} layde to his chardge by Robert Poole,
+interpretour, upon his oath (whose examination the Governo^r sente into
+England in the Prosperus), of w^{ch} accusations of Poole some he
+acknowledged for true, but the greattest[415] part he denyed. Whereupon
+the General[416] Assembly, having throughly heard and considered his
+speaches, did constitute this order following against him:
+
+AUG. 4^{th}, 1619.
+
+This day Captaine Henry Spelman[417] was convented before the General
+Assembly and was examined by a relation upon oath of one Robert Poole,
+Interpreter, what conference had passed between the said Spelman[418]
+and Opochancano at Poole's meeting with him in Opochancano's courte.
+Poole chardgeth him he spake very unreverently and maliciously
+against[419] this present Govern^r,[420] wherby the honour and dignity
+of his place and person, and so of the whole Colonie, might be brought
+into contempte, by w^{ch} meanes what mischiefs might ensue from the
+Indians by disturbance of the peace or otherwise, may easily be
+conjectured. Some thinges of this relation Spelman confessed, but the
+most parte he denyed, excepte onely one matter of importance, & that was
+that he hade informed Opochancano that w^{th}in a yeare there would come
+a Governo^r[421] greatter then[422] this that nowe is in place. By
+w^{ch} and by other reportes it seemeth he hath alienated the minde of
+Opochancano from this present Governour, and brought him in much
+disesteem, both w^{th} Opochancano[423] and the Indians, and the whole
+Colony in danger of their slippery designes.
+
+[413] Aforesaid, Bancroft.

+
+The general assembly upon Poole's testimony onely not willing to putt
+Spelman to the rigour and extremity of the lawe, w^{ch} might, perhaps
+both speedily and deservedly, have taken his life from him (upon the
+witness[424] of one whom he muche excepted against) were pleased, for
+the present, to censure him rather out of that his confession above
+written then[425] out of any other prooffe. Several and sharpe
+punishments were pronounced against[426] him by diverse of the Assembly,
+But in fine the whole course[427] by voices united did encline to the
+most favourable, w^{ch} was that for this misdemeanour[428] he should
+first be degraded of his title of Captaine,[429] at the head of the
+troupe, and should be condemned to performe seven yeares service to the
+Colony in the nature of Interpreter to the Governour.

+
+[429] Capt., McDonald.
+
+This sentence being read to Spelman he, as one that had in him more of
+the Savage then of the Christian, muttered certaine wordes to himselfe
+neither shewing any remorse for his offences, nor yet any thankfulness
+to the Assembly for theire sofavourable censure, w^{ch} he at one time
+or another (God's grace not wholly abandoning him) might w^{th} some one
+service have been able to have redeemed.[O]

+two rows of lines at right angles to each other and diagonally across

+being improperly made or, perhaps, was not official.
+
+This day also did the Inhabitants of Paspaheigh, alias Argall's towne,
+present a petition to the general assembly to give them an absolute
+dischardge from certaine bondes wherin they stand bound to Captain
+Samuell Argall for the paym^t of 600^G,[430] and to Captain William
+Powell, at Captaine Argall's appointment, for the paym^t of 50^G[431]
+more. To Captaine Argall for 15 skore acres of wooddy ground, called by
+the name of Argal's[432] towne or Paspaheigh; to Captaine Powell in
+respect of his paines in clearing the grounde and building the houses,
+for w^{ch} Captaine[433] Argal ought to have given him satisfaction.
+Nowe,[434] the general assembly being doubtful whether they have any
+power and authority to dischardge the said bondes, doe by these
+presents[435] (at the Instance of the said Inhabitants[436] of
+Paspaheighs, alias Martin's hundred people) become most humble sutours
+to the Tresurer, Counsell and Company in England that they wilbe[437]
+pleased to gett the said bondes for 600^G[438] to be cancelled;
+forasmuche as in their great comission they have expressly and by name
+appointed that place of Paspaheigh for parte of the Governo^r's[439]
+lande. And wheras Captain[440] William Powell is payde[441] his 50^G
+w^{ch} Captaine[442] Argall enjoined the saide Inhabitantes to presente
+him with, as parte[443] of the bargaine, the general assembly, at their
+intreaty, do become sutours on their behalfe, that Captaine Argall, by
+the Counsell & Company in England, may be compelled either to restore
+the said 50^G[444] from thence, or else that restitution therof be made
+here out of the goods of the said Captaine Argall.

+[P] This paragraph is in the McDonald and Bancroft copies but not in De
+Jarnette's.
+
+AUG. 4^{th}, 1619.
+
+It is fully agreed at this generall[445] Assembly that in regarde of the
+great[446] paines and labour of the[447] Speaker of this Assembly (who
+not onely[448] first formed the same Assembly and to their great ease &
+expedition reduced all matters to be treatted of into a ready method,
+but also his indisposition notw^{th}standing wrote or dictated all
+orders and other expedients and is yet[449] to write severall bookes for
+all the Generall[450] Incorporations and plantations both of the great
+charter, and of all the lawes) and likewise in respecte of the
+dilligence of the Clerke and sergeant, officers thereto belonging. That
+every man and manservant of above 16 yeares of age shall pay into the
+handes and Custody of the Burgesses of every Incorporation and
+plantation one pound of the best Tobacco, to be distributed to the
+Speaker and likewise to the Clerke and sargeant of the Assembly,
+according to their degrees and rankes, the whole bulke whereof to be
+delivered into the Speaker's handes, to be divided accordingly. And in
+regarde[451] the Provost Marshall of James citty hath also given some
+attendance upon the said Generall Assembly, he is also to have a share

+
+In conclusion, the whole Assembly comaunded[452] the Speaker (as nowe he
+doth) to present their humble excuse to the Treasurer[453] Counsell &
+Company in England for being constrained by the intemperature of the
+weather and the falling sick of diverse of the Burgesses to breake up so
+abruptly--before they had so much as putt their lawes to the ingrossing.
+This they wholly comited to[454] the fidelity of their speaker, who
+therin[455] (his conscience telles him) hath done the parte[456] of an
+honest man, otherwise he would be easily founde[457] out by the
+Burgesses themselves, who w^{th} all expedition are to have so many
+bookes of the same lawes as there be both Incorporations and Plantations
+in the Colony.

+
+In the seconde place, the Assembly doth most humbly crave pardon that in
+so shorte[458] a space they could bring their matter to no[459] more
+perfection, being for the present enforced to sende home titles rather
+then lawes, Propositions rather then resolutions, Attemptes then
+Acchievements, hoping their courtesy will accepte our poore indevour,

+[458] short, McDonald.

+[459] no, omitted by McDonald.

+Thirdly, the General Assembly doth humbly beseech[461] the said
+Treasurer,[462] Counsell & Company, that albeit it belongeth to them
+onely to allowe or to abrogate any lawes w^{ch} we shall here make,[463]
+and that it is their right so to doe,[464] yet that it would please them
+not to take it in ill parte if these lawes w^{ch} we have nowe brought
+to light, do passe currant[465] & be of force till suche time as we[466]
+may knowe their farther pleasure out of Englande: for otherwise this
+people (who nowe at length have gotte[467] the raines[468] of former
+servitude into their owne swindge) would in shorte time growe so
+insolent, as they would shake off all government, and there would be no
+living among them.

+good their promise sett downe[471] at the conclusion of their comission
+for establishing the Counsel[472] of Estate & the General[473] Assembly,
+namely, that they will give us power to allowe or disallowe of their

+_EDITORS' NOTE._
+
+
+The paper from which this document is printed is to be found in the
+first volume of the McDonald papers. It is such a census of the
+inhabitants of the colony as the historical student would like to see
+made out at several other periods of our colonial history. We can find
+no legal enactment requiring such a census to be taken, and no order to
+that effect, save in the Instructions to Governor Wyatt, dated 24th
+July, 1621, where, among other things, he is directed "To make a
+catalogue of the people in every plantation, and their conditions; and
+of deaths, marriages and christenings."--Hening, Vol. I., p. 115.
+
+The entries are as brief as possible, no middle names are given, and
+foreigners are entered according to nationality, or not more than one
+name allowed them. Not the least curious is the small number of negroes.
+Rolfe states, "About the last of August (1619) came in a Dutch man of
+warre that sold us twenty Negors" (Smith, p. 126), and nearly five years
+after, when this census was taken, there were but twenty-two in the
+Colony.

+[R] _Neak of Land._--"There is another division of the country into
+necks of land, which are the boundaries of the Escheators, viz: the
+Northern Neck, between the Patowmeck and Rappahannock rivers.
+
+"The neck between Rappahannock and York rivers, within which Pamunkey
+Neck is included.
+
+"The neck between York and James rivers," &c., &c.--Beverly, Book IV.,
+chap. ii.
+
+This list being made up at James city this neck might be the one nearest
+to that place, and therefore the last one named by Beverly would be the
+one referred to; but inasmuch as in this MS. list it follows immediately
+after the College land, and in the list of Burgesses for 1629, occupies
+the same position, it is not improbable that it refers to the peninsula
+opposite Henrico, known on all the maps of the State as Farrar's island,
+and which has been made an island in reality by the completion of the
+canal begun by the United States army during the late civil war and
+afterwards finished by the engineer department of the same, under the
+direction of Col. W.P. Craighill. Hening reports Serit Sharpe a Burgess
+for this place in 1629, and Serjeant William Sharp is named in the text
+as living there in 1626.

+"many miles of champion and wood land ground in several hundreds, by the
+names of Nether Hundred, Shirley Hundred," &c.--Stith, p. 124-'5; Smith,
+General Historie, 1627, p. 111. Hening names Burgesses (1629) from
+Shirley Hundred island and Shirley Hundred maine, and among the latter
+is the name of John Harris, which appears in the text.--Heming Vol. I.,
+p. 138.
+
+The name of Shirley appears on the Fry and Jefferson map only at the
+place where the same is now located, opposite Bermuda Hundred, and well
+known as the residence of Hill Carter, Esq. A short distance below is an
+island not named on that map, but on modern maps as Eppes island, which
+we may presume was Shirley island. We do not find the name of West in
+the connection except in a paper entitled John Rolfe's relation to the
+State of Virginia, written in 1616, in which we learn that West and
+Shirley Hundred was about thirty-seven miles above James citie, which
+corresponds with the location above named. See Virginia Historical

+silver and copper coins were found. All that remains of the city is a
+portion of the brick tower which belonged to the church, and which
+attracts the attention of travellers on the river with an interest

+
+[Y] _The Glass House._--We find frequent references to but no notice of
+the erection of this building. Smith, in his account of the attempt to
+murder him by the Dutchmen in 1608, says, "They sent Francis, their
+companion, disguised like a Salvage, to the Glasse-house, a place in the
+woods neare a myle from Iames Toune," &c., Smith attempted to apprehend
+him, but he escaped, and after he had sent "20 shot after him; himself
+returning from the Glasse House alone," when he encountered the king of
+the Paspa heigh whom he defeated and "led him prisoner to Iames Toune
+and put him in chaynes." Smith (1627) pp. 83, 84.
+
+Stith says after the return of Newport from his expedition of discovery
+up James river "No sooner were they landed but the President (Smith)
+dispersed as many as were able, some to make Glass and others for
+Pitch," &c.; and in 1609, "And now the Colony pursued their business
+with alacrity and success. They made three or four lasts of Tar, Pitch,
+and Soap ashes and produced a trial of glass," &c., &c. And in 1621,
+speaking of the subscriptions opened in England, he says, "The third
+roll was for a glass furnace to make beads, which was the current coin
+in the Indian trade; and one Captaine Norton, with some Italian workmen,
+was sent over for that purpose." See also Stith, pp. 95, 97, 197, 198.
+As the names of Vincentio and Benardo appear in the text, we may infer
+that some of the Italian workmen survived the massacre of 1622.

+[AA] _Hogg Island._--This is set down on Smith's and all succeeding
+maps. It is six or eight miles below Jamestown island, and its name
+being unchanged, is very well known at the present time. In the text
+John Utie is named as one of the inhabitants, and his name appears in
+Hening as one of the Burgesses in 1629 from "the plantations between
+Archer's Hope and Martins Hundred," which corresponds with its location.

+[BB] _Martin's Hundred._--Martin's Hundred is located On Fry and
+Jefferson's map between Hog island and Mulberry island, and on a small
+stream called Skies creek, on the north side of James river. In the
+proceedings of the Assembly in 1619 it is referred to as Paspaheigh's,
+alias Martin's Hundred, see ante p. 30. In the "Particulars of Land in
+Virginia," before mentioned, we read, "Martin's Hundred, containing
+80,000 acres, part planted." Captaine Martin was made president by Capt.
+John Smith in 1609, but he did not desire the position and resigned. At
+the Assembly in 1619, he and the privileges named in his patent, and
+certain charges against him of unfair dealing with the Indians occupied
+no little attention.--See ante, pp. 12 and 13. For further particulars
+in regard to his attempts at imposition on the Company and like charges,
+the reader is referred to Stith, pp. 219, 220, 221.

+[CC] _Warwick Squrake._--It is difficult to decide upon either the
+spelling or the pronunciation of this word. On Smith's map it is located
+on the south side of James river, and about fifteen or twenty miles
+below Jamestown, and is spelt Waraskorack, and on page 59 he spells it
+Waraskoyack; Fry and Jefferson locate it on Burwell's bay, and call it
+Warnicqueack. Stith calls it Warrasqueake, and gives an interesting
+account of "the King of that town," and his hospitable treatment of
+Capt. Smith on the night of the 29th of December, 1608: p. 85. In the
+"Particulars of Land," McDonald MS. above referred to, it is spelt as
+shown in the following extract: "Warosquoiacke Plantation conteyning
+downewardes from Hogg island, 14 miles by the ryver side," &c., &c., p.
+313.
+
+Hening has it Warrosquoiack, Vol. I., p. 149. In 1634 "the country
+divided into eight shires," and this being one of them. Hening there
+spells it Warrosquyoake. Vol. I., p. 224.

+1629 it was represented as two districts or burroughs, viz; the upper

+_EDITOR'S NOTE._
+
+
+The reader will perceive that the foregoing list of the dead reports
+only those who had died "since April last" (1622), consequently does not
+include the victims of the Indian massacre, which occurred on the 22d of
+March of that year. The number which fell by that diabolical conspiracy,
+as reported by Smith, amounted to 347, and in his Generall Historie, at
+page 149, he has a list of the numbers murdered at different places.
+Neill copies from the Records of the Virginia Company (now in the
+Congressional Library at Washington) a list of their names--see his
+"History of the Virginia Company," pp. 339-346--and considering that it
+is proper to annex this to the list preceding we herewith give it. The
+total corresponds with the statement in Smith's Historie.
+
+The number of deaths in the census list shows a mortality amounting in
+one year to upwards of twenty per cent. of the whole population,
+exceeding the number which fell in the massacre by twenty-four. The
+fullest details of this and many other matters relating to the Colony
+while under the Virginia Company, can be found more fully shown in
+Neill's History of the Virginia Company than in any other work we have
+seen.

+
+
+PREFACE.
+
+
+The next paper presented in this collection is a copy of the one from
+which Mr. Bancroft quotes in his introductory note to the meeting of the
+first Assembly, referring to it as "MS. in my possession." This is
+printed from the copy among the McDonald papers, and with its title and
+endorsements no intimation is given as to the date of its preparation,
+its author or authors, to whom it was addressed, or the use intended to
+be made of it. These questions are, however, answered almost entirely by
+reference to the entries in "Sainsbury's Calendar of State Papers,"
+which, on pp. 65-'6, has the following: "1624. July. Petition of Gov.
+Sir Francis Wyatt, the Council and Assembly of Virginia to the King.
+Have understood that his Majesty, notwithstanding the unjust
+disparagement of the Plantation, has taken it under his especial care;
+intreat that credit may not be given to the late declarations presented
+to his Majesty concerning the happy, but indeed miserable, estate of the
+Colony during the first twelve years (of Sir Thos. Smith's government),
+nor to the malicious imputations which have been laid upon the late
+government. Inclose the true state of both, and earnestly request that
+the present government may be continued. Pray that the King's tender
+compassion will not allow them to fall into the hands of Sir Thos. Smith
+or his confidents." Signed by Sir Fran. Wyatt, Capt. Fan. West, Sir
+George Yeardley and eighty-six others. _Inclose._--"Brief Declaration of
+the Plantation," &c., giving the whole title of this paper, verbatim,
+and a copious abstract of its contents. The earliest account of the
+horrors it relates is to be found in Smith's History, p. 105, in what is
+called "the examinations of Doctor Simons." This writer gives full
+details of the straits to which the Colonists were reduced and the
+expedients to which they resorted to appease hunger in 1609; adding,
+after the statements in regard to eating the Indian who had been buried
+several days and their eating "one another boyled, and stewed with
+rootes and herbes," the account of the man who "did kill his wife,
+powdered her, and had eaten part of her before it was known," and adding
+with a grim humour, "now whether shee was better roasted, boyled or
+carbonado'd, I know not, but of such a dish as powdered wife, I never
+heard of." His statements are copied, with more or less variation, by
+Beverley, Stith, Keith and Burke, but not one of them go into the
+disgusting and improbable details named in the "Brief Declaration."
+Campbell also reports the stories, but adds, in regard to the wife
+murderer, "upon his trial it appeared that cannibalism was feigned to
+palliate the murder," p. 93. Neill quotes from the Records of the
+Virginia Company, "The Tragical Relation of Virginia Assembly," which
+was transmitted to England about 1621; this was intended as a reply to a
+petition of Alderman Johnson and others, who had represented to the King
+that the reports in regard to Sir Thos. Smith's management were false,
+and desiring an investigation. These petitioners were members of a
+faction which desired to break up the Virginia Company. In the Relation
+of the Assembly, Smith is charged with all the cruelties to the
+Colonists which are mentioned in this "Brief Declaration"; torturing
+and starving to death being the punishments for minor offences; and
+asserting their confidence in the truth of these statements by
+concluding it with these words: "And rather to be reduced to live under
+the like government we desire his Ma^{ties} commissioners may be sent
+over w^{th} authoritie to hange us." This is signed by thirty members of
+the General Assembly, including among the names, those of George Sandys,
+the poet, traveller and Secretary of the Colony, and Raph Hamor, the
+chronicler--See Neill, pp. 407-411.
+
+There is another reference to this starving time (as it is called) and
+its accompanying horror, which should not be allowed to pass without
+notice. As above stated, the worst state of affairs was reported to have
+existed in 1609, and in the next year a pamphlet with the following
+title was issued, "A true declaration of the estate of the Colonie of
+Virginia, with a refutation of such scandalous reports as haue tended to
+the disgrace of so worthy an enterprise. Published by aduise and
+direction of the Councell of Virginia. London, 1610." The writer of
+which, after referring to the slanders which had been circulated in
+regard to Sir Thos. Smith's government, and especially of the story of
+the wife-eater, says, "Sir Thomas Gates thus relateth the tragedie," and
+then follows a long passage to the effect that "one of the companie
+mortally hated his wife," and having killed her and secreted her body
+after cutting it into peices; when it was found out he said she died and
+he had hid her to satiafie his hunger, and had fed daily upon her, but
+upon searching his house they found a large quantity of provisions.--See
+Force's tracts, Vol. III. The writers of the "Brief Declaration," and
+the "True Declaration," must have seen this statement published ten or
+twelve years before they wrote, and it is a little remarkable that they
+should have persisted in repeating a story which was far from being well
+authentitcated, especially as the true statement did not need this
+addition to increase the odium incurred by the mismanagement of Sir
+Thos. Smith, the evidences of which are herein set forth.
+
+Stith reports the stories of the Indian "that had been slain and buried"
+being taken up and eaten, and "so did several others, one another that
+died," and also that of the man who "killed his wife and powdered her
+up, and eat the greater portion before it was discovered;" and adds, for
+many years after it was "remembered by the name of the _starving time_,"
+p. 116-117. For many particulars nowhere else given, see Neill's
+History, pp. 407-411.

+
+     A BREIFE DECLARATION _of the Plantation of Virginia duringe the
+     first Twelve Yeares, when Sir Thomas Smith was Governor of the
+     Companie, & downe to this present tyme. By the Ancient Planters
+     nowe remaining alive in Virginia._
+
+Wheras in the beginninge of Sir Thomas Smith's twelve yeares government,
+it was published in printe throughout the Kingdome of Englande that a
+Plantation should be settled in Virginia for the glorie of God in the
+propogation of the Gospell of Christ, the conversion of the Savages, to
+the honour of his Majesty, by the enlargeinge of his territories and
+future enrichinge of his kingdome, for which respects many noble & well
+minded persons were induced to adventure great sums of money to the
+advancement of soe pious & noble a worke, who have from the very first
+been frustrate of their expectation, as wee conceive, by the
+misgovernment of Sir Thomas Smith, aiminge at nothinge more then a
+perticular gaine, to be raised out of the labours of such as both
+voluntarilie adventured themselves and were otherwise sent over at the
+common charge. This will cleerely appeare in the examination of the
+first expedition & severall supplies in the tyme of his government.
+
+The first Plantation in Virginia consisted of one hundred persons, so
+slenderly provided for that before they had remained halfe a yeare in
+this new Collony they fell into extreame want, not havinge anything left
+to sustein them save a little ill conditioned Barley, which ground to
+meal & pottage made thereof, one smale ladle full was allowed each
+person for a meale, without bread or aught else whatsoever, so that had
+not God, by his great providence, moved the Indians, then our utter
+enemies, to bringe us reliefe, we had all utterlie by famine perished.
+How unable so small a companye of people, soe poorely sent over, were to
+make way for such as shoulde followe, may easily be judged.
+
+The first supplie beinge two shippes, the John & Francis & Phenix, with
+one hundred & twenty persons, worse every way provided for then the
+former, arrived heere about eight or nine months after & found the
+Collony consistinge of no more then forty persons (of those) tenn only
+able men, the rest at point of death, all utterly destitute of howses,
+not one as yet built, so that they lodged in cabbins & holes within the
+grounde; victualls they had none, save some small reliefe from the
+Indians, as some yet living weare feelinge witnesses, neither were we
+for our future and better maintenance permitted to manure or till any
+grounde, a thing in a new Plantation principally to be regarded, but
+weare by the direction of Sir Thomas Smith, and his officers heere,
+wholly imployed in cuttinge downe of masts, cedar, blacke wallnutt,
+clapboarde, &c., and in digginge gould oare (as some thought) which
+beinge sent for England proved dirt. These works to make retorne of
+present proffit hindered others of more necessary consequence of
+Plantation.
+
+After this first supplie there were some few poore howses built, &
+entrance made in cleeringe of grounde to the quantitye of foure acres
+for the wholl Collony, hunger & sickness not permitting any great
+matters to bee donne that yeare.
+
+The second supplie was a ship called the Mary Margett, which arrived
+here nine months after, about the time of Michaellmas, in her sixty
+persons, most gentlemen, few or no tradesmen, except some Polanders to
+make Pitch, tarre, potashes, &c., to be retorned for present gaine, soe
+meanly likewise were these furnished forth for victualles, that in lesse
+then two monthes after their arrivall, want compelled us to imploye our
+time abroad in trading with the Indians for corne; whereby though for a
+time we partly relieved our necessities, yet in Maye followinge we weare
+forced (leavinge a small guarde of gentlemen & some others about the
+president at James Towne) to disperse the wholl Collony, some amongst
+the Salvadges but most to the Oyster Banks, where they lived uppon
+oysters for the space of nine weekes, with the allowance only of a pinte
+of Indian corne to each man for a week, & that allowance of corne
+continued to them but two weekes of the nine, which kinde of feeding
+caused all our skinns to peele off, from head to foote, as if we had
+beene flead. By this time arrived Captaine Samuell Argall in a small
+Barque, with him neither supplie of men nor victualls from the Company;
+but we understandinge that he had some small provisions of bread and
+wine, more then would serve his owne companie, required him and the
+master of the Barque to remaine ashoare whilst we might bring his sailes
+ashoare the better to assure us of his ship & such provisions as coulde
+be spared, whereunto he seemed willingly to condescend. Those
+provisions, at a small allowance of Biskett, cake, and a small measure
+of wine or beere to each person for a Daye some what relieved us for the
+space of a month, at the end of which time arrived the thirde supplie,
+called Sir Thomas Gates, his fleet, which consisted of seaven shippes &
+neere five hundred persons with whom a small proportion of victuall, for
+such a number, was landed; howses few or none to entertain them, so that
+being quartered in the open feilde they fell uppon that small quantitye
+of corne, not beinge above seaven acres, which we with great penury &
+sufferance had formerly planted, and in three days, at the most, wholly
+devoured it.
+
+These numbers, thus meanly provided, not being able to subsist and live
+together weare soone after devided into three parties and dispersed
+abroad for their better reliefe. The first under commande of Captaine
+Francis West to feat at the head of the River; a second under commande
+of Captaine John Smith, then President, at James Towne, & the other,
+with Capt. John Martin, in the River at Nansamun, which divisions gave
+occasions to the Indiens treacherously to cutt off divers of our men &
+boates, and forced the rest at the end of sixe weekes, havinge spent
+those small provisions they had with them, to retire to James Town &
+that in the depth of winter, when by reason of the colde, it was not
+possible for us to endure to wade in the water (as formerly) to gather
+oysters to satisfie our hungry stomacks, but constrained to digge in the
+grounde for unwholesome rootes whereof we were not able to get so many
+as would suffice us, in respect of the frost at that season & our
+poverty & weakness, so that famine compelled us wholly to devoure those
+Hogges, Dogges & horses that weare then in the Collony, together with
+rates, mice, snakes, or what vermin or carryon soever we could light on,
+as alsoe Toadstooles, Jewes eares, or what els we founde growing upon
+the grounde that would fill either mouth or belly; and weare driven
+through unsufferable hunger unnaturallie to eat those thinges which
+nature most abhorred, the flesh and excrements of man, as well of our
+owne nation as of an Indian, digged by some out of his grave after he
+had laien buried three daies & wholly devoured him; others, envyinge the
+better state of boddie of any whom hunger had not yet so much wasted as
+there owne, lay waight and threatened to kill and eat them; one amonge
+the rest slue his wife as she slept in his bosome, cutt her in peeces,
+powdered her & fedd uppon her till he had clean devoured all partes
+saveinge her heade, & was for soe barbarouse a fact and cruelty justly
+executed. Some adventuringe to seeke releife in the woods, dyed as they
+fought it, & weare eaten by others who found them dead. Many putt
+themselves into the Indians' handes, though our enemies, and were by
+them slaine. In this extremitye of famine continued the Collony till the
+twenteth of Maye, when unexpected, yet happely, arrived Sir Thomas Gates
+& Sir George Somers in two small Barques[FF] which they had built in the
+Sommer Islands after the wreake of the Sea adventure wherin they sett
+forth from Englande, with them one hundred persons barely provided of
+vittel for themselves. They founde the Collony consistinge then of but
+sixty persons most famished and at point of death, of whom many soone
+after died; the lamentable outcries of theirs soe moved the hartes of
+those worthies, not being in any sorte able long to releive their wantes
+they soone resolved to imbarque themselves & this poore remainder of the
+Collonye, in those two pinnaces & two other small Barques then in the
+River, to sett saile for Newfoundland where they might releive their
+wants & procure one safer passage for Englande. Every man, glad of this
+resolution, laboured his uttmost to further it, so that in three weekes
+we had fitted those barques and pinnaces (the best we could) & quitted
+James Towne, leaving the poore buildings in it to the spoile of the
+Indians, hopeinge never to retorne to re-possess them. When we had not
+sailed downe the River above twelve miles but we espied a boat which
+afterwards we understoode came from the right Honourable Lorde La Ware,
+who was then arived at Point Comfort with three good shipps, wherin he
+brought two hundred and fifty persons with some store of Provisions for
+them; but by reason he founde the Collony in so great want was forced to
+put both his owne people & the rest of the Collony to a very meane
+allowance, which was seven pounde of English meale for a man a weeke, &
+five pounds for every woman, without the addition of any victuall
+whatsoever, except, in the stead of meale, we took valuablie either
+pease or oatmeale. Uppon the arrival of that boat, Sir Thomas Gates
+understandinge from the Lord La Ware, that his Lordship was arrived with
+commission from the Company to be Gov^r & Capt. Gen^l of Virginia, & had
+brought men & provisions for the subsistinge & advancing of the
+Plantation, he the very next daye, to the great griefe of all his
+Company (only except Capt. John Martin), as winde and weather gave
+leave, retorned his whole company with charge to take possession againe
+of those poore ruinated habitations at James Towne which he had formerly
+abandoned; himselffe in a boate proceeded downeward to meete his
+Lordship who, making all speede up, arrived shortly after at James
+Towne. The time of the yeare being then most unseasonable, by
+intemperate heat, at the end of June his people suddenly fallinge
+generally into most pestilent diseases of Callentures and feavors, not
+lesse then one hundred & fifty of them died within few moneths after, &
+that chiefly for want of meanes to comfort them in their weak estates.
+The residue alsoe disabled by reason of sicknes could performe nothing
+that yeare to the advancement of the Collony, yet with the help of those
+people which had arrived with Sir Thomas Gates, together with some of
+the ancient Planters, who by use weare growen practique in a hard way of
+livinge, two small forts weare erected neare the rivers mouth at
+Kicoughtun, encompassed with small younge trees, haveinge for housing in
+the one, two formerlie built by the Indians & covered with bark by them,
+in the other a tent with some few thatcht cabbins which our people built
+at our comming thether. We founde divers other Indian Howses built by
+the natives which by reason we could make no use of we burnt, killinge
+to the number of twelve or fourteene Indians, & possessinge such corne
+as we founde growinge of their plantinge. We remained there untill
+harvest, when we reaped (besides what we spent) about the quantitie of
+one hundred and fiftie bushells of corne, which, by order from the Lord
+La Ware, was transported to James Towne.

+from the Lord Delaware, Governor of Virginia to the patentees in
+England.--Introduction to Strachey's _Virginia Brittania_, p. xxiii.
+
+His Lordship intendinge to send up certain forces to march towardes the
+mountaines for the discoverie of gold or silver mines at the end of
+October, sent his Patents to Captaine Yardley and Captaine Holcroft,
+commanders of those two forts at Kicoughtan, wherin his Lordship gave
+order that they should be forthwith abandoned & the people with all
+speede to be brought to James Citie, there to prepare for his intended
+march.
+
+At that time there arrived a small ship called the daintie, with twelve
+men & one woman, some little provision of victuall, two or three horses
+& some other slight necessaries for the Collony. Soon after we sett
+forward for our intended march, havinge for our leaders Captaine Edwarde
+Brewster & Captaine George Yeardley, being in number one hundred
+persons, furnished with all such necessary provisions, as the Collony at
+that time out of its poverty was able to provide. This designe was
+hindered by reason of the unfortunate losse of all our chieffe men
+skillfull in findeinge out mines, who weare treacherously slaine by the
+Salvadges (inviteinge them ashoare to eat victualls which they wanted)
+even when the meate was in theire mouthes, they careinge only to fill
+their bellies, foresaw not to prevent this danger which befell them.
+
+This injury we revenged for the present (as we coulde) by killinge some
+Indians and burninge many houses, but by reason of this disaster we
+proceeded not farther on our journey then the head of the River, where
+we spent about three moneths doinge little but induringe much; his
+Lordship was there in person for the most part of that time, but his
+disease of body groweinge much upon him he resolved to retire to James
+Towne, givinge order that the fort which we had built there shoulde bee
+quitted and the troupe drawn downe, which accordingly was done. His
+Lordship then in regarde of his sickness was advised to putt to Sea in
+his ship, the Delaware, to seeke remedie in some other parts for the
+health of his bodye. At his going he left Captaine George Percie Deputie
+Governor, the people (remaining under his command) provided for three
+months at a short allowance of victuals. The calamities of these times
+would not any way permit workes of great importance to bee performed,
+sith that we did was as much as we coulde doe to live and defende our
+selves.
+
+The Plantations helde at his Lordships departure were only James Towne
+and Pointe Comforte, where was a small Fort fenced with Pallisadoes, in
+it one slight howse, a store and some few thatcht cabbins, which shortly
+after by casualtie was burnt with fire; some few great ordinance were
+slenderlye mounted at James Towne and Pointe Comfort.
+
+A fortnight after his Lordship's departure arrived a small ship called
+the Hercules, with some thirty people and some provisions for them. The
+tweife of May followeinge arrived Sir Thomas Dale with three ships and
+three hundred persons, his provisions for them of such qualitie (for the
+most part) as hogges refused to eat, some whereof were sent backe to
+England to testifie the same, and that the rest was not better was
+justified upon oath before the Hono^{ble} the Lorde Cheife Justice of
+the Common Pleas, at Guilde hall in London, by Sir Thos. Gates & two
+other gentlemen.
+
+Sir Thomas Dale, takinge into consideration the precedent times not to
+have succeeded accordinge to the greedy desire of Sir Thomas Smith,
+presently imployed the general Colony about the lading of those three
+ships with such freight as the country then yealded, but a little before
+the ships were readie to depart, Sir Thomas Gates arrived with three
+ships and three carvills, with him three hundred persons meanly provided
+with victualls for such a number. In this fleet, to our remembrance,
+arrived sixtie cowes and some swine; it was his care to dispatch those
+shipps and carvills fraighted (as aforesaid) to the neglect of workes of
+greater importance. Sir Thomas Dale imediately uppon his arrival, to add
+to that extremitye of miserye under which the Collonye from her infancie
+groaned, made and published most cruell and tiranous lawes, exceeding
+the strictest rules of marishall discipline, which lawes were sent over
+by Sir Thomas Dale to Sir Thomas Smith by the hande of Mr. William
+Starchey,[GG] then Secretarie to the State, and were retorned in print,
+with approbation, for our future government, as in divers bookes yet
+extant more fully appeareth.
+
+[GG] Mr. Strachey, sailed with Lord Delaware on the 1st of April, 1610,
+and arrived at the Capes on the 15th of May. He remained about two
+years. He left a well written manuscript account of his observations,
+with this title: "The Historie of travaile into Virginia Brittania,
+* * * gathered and discovered as well by those who went first hither, as
+collected by William Strachey, Gent., the first secretary of the
+Colony;" which, edited by R.A. Major, Esq., of the British Museum, was
+published by the Hakluyt society in 1849.
+
+At Michaellmas then next followinge, Sir Thomas Dale removed himself
+with three hundred persons for the buildinge of Henrico Towne, where
+being landed he oppressed his whole companye with such extraordinarye
+labors by daye and watchinge by night, as maye seeme incredible to the
+eares of any who had not the experimentall triall thereof. Wante of
+houses at first landinge in the colde of winter, and pinchinge hunger
+continually bitinge, made those imposed labours moft insufferable, and
+the best fruits and effects therof to be noe better then the slaughter
+of his Majesty's free subjects by starveinge, hangeinge, burneinge,
+breakinge upon the wheele and shootinge to deathe, some (more than halfe
+famished) runninge to the Indians to gett reliefe beinge againe retorned
+were burnt to death. Some for stealinge to satisfie their hunger were
+hanged, and one chained to a tree till he starved to death; others
+attemptinge to run awaye in a barge and a shallop (all the Boates that
+were then in the Collonye) and therin to adventure their lives for their
+native countrye, beinge discovered and prevented, were shott to death,
+hanged and broken upon the wheele, besides continuall whippings,
+extraordinary punishments, workinge as slaves in irons for terme of
+yeares (and that for petty offences) weare dayly executed. Many famished
+in holes and other poore cabbins in the grounde, not respected because
+sicknes had disabled them for labour, nor was their sufficient for them
+that were more able to worke, our best allowance beinge but nine ounces
+of corrupt and putrified meale and haife a pinte of oatmeale or pease
+(of like ill condition) for each person a daye. Those provisions were
+sent over by one Winne, a Draper, and Caswell, a baker, by the
+appointment (as we conceave) of Sir Thomas Smith. Under this Tiranus
+Government the Collony continued in extreame slavery and miserye for the
+space of five yeares, in which time many, whose necessities enforced the
+breach of those lawes by the strictness and severitye therof, suffered
+death and other punishments. Divers gentlemen both there and at Henrico
+towne, and throughout the wholl Collonye (beinge great adventurers and
+no trendes or alliance to Sir Thomas Smith) weare feeling members of
+those generall calamities, as far forth as the meanest fellow sent over.
+
+The buildings and fortifications of that Towne, or thereabouts, were noe
+way extraordinary, neither could want, accompanied with bloode and
+crueltie, effect better.
+
+Fortification against a foreign enemy there was none, only two or three
+peeces of ordenance mounted, and against a domestic noe other but a pale
+inclosinge the Towne to the quantitye of foure acres, within which those
+buildings that weare erected, coulde not in any man's judgement, neither
+did stande above five yeares and that not without continuall
+reparations; true it is that there was a Bricke Church intended to be
+built, but not soe much as the foundation therof ever finished, but we
+contentinge our selves with a church of wood answerable to those houses.
+Many other workes of like nature weare by him donne at Henrico and the
+precincts therof, but so slightly as before his departure hence, he
+himself saw the ruine and desolation of most of them.
+
+Sir Thomas Gates likewise in his time erected some buildinges in and
+about James Towne, which by continuall cost in repaireinge of them doe
+yet for the most part in some sort remaine.
+
+A framed Bridge was alsoe then erected, which utterly decayed before the
+end of Sir Thomas Smith's government, that being the only bridge (any
+way soe to be called) that was ever in the country. At this time in all
+these labours, the miserye throughout the wholl Collony, in the
+scarcitye of foode was equall; which penurious and harde kinde of
+liveinge, enforced and emboldened some to petition to Sir Thomas Gates
+(then Governor) to grant them that favor that they might employ
+themselves in husbandry, that therby they and all others by plantinge of
+corne, might be better fed then those supplies of victual which were
+sent from Englande woulde afforde to doe, which request of theirs was
+denied unlesse they woulde paye the yearlye rent of three barrels of
+corne and one monthe's worke to the Collonye, although many of them had
+been imployed in the generall workes and services of the Collony from
+the beginninge of the Plantation, which harde condition of Tenantship
+was then accepted rather then they woulde continue in those generall
+services and employments noe waye better then slavery. Most part of the
+time that Sir Thomas Gates and Sir Thos. Dale governed we were at warre
+with the natives, so that by them divers times were many of our people
+slaine, whose blood Sir Thomas Dale neglected not to revenge, by divers
+and sundry executions, in killinge many, cuttinge downe and takinge away
+their corne, burninge their houses, spoiling their weares, &c.[HH]
+
+[HH] "Their weares in which they take their fish, which are certain
+enclosures made with reedes, and framed in the fashion of a laborinth or
+maze, sett a fathome deepe in the water, with divers chambers or bedds,
+out of which the entangled fish cannot returne or gett out, being once
+in."--Strachey, p. 68.
+
+In this time alsoe the two fortes, fort Henry and fort Charles, at
+Kicoughton, were againe erected with such buildings as were formerly
+expressed, not fortified at all against a forreine enemye, and against
+the Indian that common order of a pale or pallisadoe.
+
+The supplies sent out of Englande while Sir Thos. Gates and Sir Thos.
+Dale governed were these; a small barque called the John and Francis,
+which brought few men and less victual; the next a small ship called the
+Sarah, with the like number of men and victuall; the next ship called
+the Tresorer, wherin came Capt. Samuell Argoll, bringinge with him to
+the number of fiftie good men, which ship and men were wholly imployed
+in Trade and other services for relevinge of the Collonye; the next
+ship, called the Elizabeth, with about thirteene persons, for them
+little provision; the next the same Elizabeth came againe, with some
+small store of provisions only; in her Sir Thos. Gates went for
+Englande, leavinge the government with Sir Thomas Dale.
+
+A little before the departure of Sir Thomas Gates many of the ancient
+planters (by the instigation of Sir Thomas Dale), uppon the promise of
+an absolute freedome after three yeares more to be expired (havinge most
+of them already served the Collonye six or seaven yeares in that
+generall slavery) were yet contented to worke in the buildinge of
+Charles Citty and Hundred, with very little allowance of clothinge and
+victuall, and that only for the first yeare, being promised one moneth
+in the yeare, and one daye in the weeke from Maye daye till harvest, to
+gett our maintenance out of the earth without any further helpe; which
+promise of Sir Thos. Dale was not performed, for out of that small time
+which was allowed for our maintenance we were abridged of nere halfe,
+soe that out of our daily taskes we were forced to redeeme time wherin
+to labour for our sustenance, therby miserably to purchase our freedome.
+Yet so fell it out that our State (by God's mercy) was afterwardes more
+happie then others who continued longer in the aforementioned slaverye;
+in which time we built such houses as before and in them lived with
+continual repairs, and buildinge new where the old failed, untill the
+massacre.
+
+For matter of fortification in all this time, were only foure peeces of
+ordinance mounted for our defence against the natives. Soone after we
+weare seated at Charles Hundred, Sir Thomas Dales resolved of a journey
+to Pamonkey River, there to make with the Salvadges either a firme
+league of friendship or a present warre; they percieving his intent
+inclined rather for peace (more for feare then love) which was then
+concluded betwixt them. That donne we retorned to our habitations, where
+great want and scarcitye, oppressed us, that continuinge and
+increasinge, (our first harvest not yet being ripe) caused in many an
+intended mutinye, which beinge, by God's mercy, discovered, the prime
+actors were duly examined and convicted, wherof sixe beinge adjudged and
+condemned were executed.
+
+After this, arrived for supply a small ship called the John and Francis,
+with about twenty persons and little or noe provisions for them. The
+next ship, called the Tresorer, arived heere with the number of twenty
+persons and as little provisions as the former, in which ship after many
+other designes were effected by Sir Thos. Dale, as makinge spoile of the
+Keschiacks[II] and Wariscoyacks, impaling some necks of Lande, for
+defence against the Salvadges, and in fishing for our reliefe, &c., he
+departed from Virginia, and left the Government to Captain George
+Yardley, under whom the Collony lived in peace and best plentye that
+ever it had till that time, yet most part of the people for that yeare
+of his Government continued in the generall services followinge their
+labors as Sir Thos. Dale left them by order.
+
+[II] Kiskiack (now Chescake--pronounced Cheesecake) on Smith's map is
+located on the south side of the Pamunck (now York) river about the site
+of Yorktown.--See Campbell, p. 66.
+For Wariscoyack see footnote CC.
+
+At Michaelmas followinge arrived a small ship called the Susan, her
+lading (beinge the first Magazin) consistinge of some necessarye
+provisions of clothinge, as our wants required, which goods were sould
+by Sir Thos. Smith's factor, as we suppose, for a sufficient proffit,
+exchanginge with us their commodities for our Tobacco.
+
+At Christmas then followinge, just occasion beinge given by the Indians
+of Chiquohomini in many and severall kindes of abuses, and in deridinge
+of our demandes, wherunto they had formerly agreed and conditioned with
+Sir Thomas Dale to paye us yearlye tribute, viz: a bushell of corne for
+every Boweman, for which, by agreement, we were to give to each man one
+peece of copper and one iron tomahawke, and to the eight chiefe men each
+a suit of redd cloth, which clothes and truckinge stuffe we esteemed of
+more worth then their corne. These and the like grosse abuses moved our
+Governor, Captaine George Yeardley, to levye a company of men, to the
+number of eighty-four, to bee revenged uppon those contemptuous Indians,
+which he, accordinge to his desire, fully executed, and returned home
+with the spoile of them; concludinge, before his departure from them, a
+more firme league in appearance than formerly was, for that it continued
+unviolated almost the space of two yeares; our people freely travelinge
+from Town to Towne (both men, women and children) without any armes, and
+were by the Salvadges lodged in their houses, every way kindly intreated
+and noe way molested.
+
+In March followinge, our three yeares' time beinge expired, as it was
+our due, we of Charles Hundred demanded our long desired freedome from
+that common and generall servitude; unto which request Captaine George
+Yeardley, freely and willingly assented, to our great joy and comfort.
+Yet remained the most part of the Collony in the former servitude; part
+of whom were farmers, the rest imployed in such workes as Sir Thomas
+Dale gave order for before his departure.
+
+We that were freed, with our humble thankes to God, fell cheerfully to
+our perticular labours, wherby to our great comfort, through his
+blessinge, we reaped a plentifull harvest.
+
+In May followinge arived Captain Samuell Argoll with commission to be
+Governor. He brought with him to the number of a hundred persons, partly
+at the charge of the Company and partly at the charge of private
+adventurers; with them was brought a very little provision for that
+nomber. At his arrival heere he founde the Collony in all parts well
+stored with corne, and at Charles Hundred a granery well furnished by
+rentes lately raised and received from the farmers, which corne he tooke
+possession of, but how it was imployed himselfe can best give an
+account. Whilest he governed, the Collony was slenderly provided of
+munition, wherby a strict proclamation was made for restraint of
+wastinge or shooting away of powder, under paine of great punishment;
+which forbiddinge to shoot at all in our peeces caused the losse of much
+of oure corne then growinge uppon the grounde; the Indians perceivinge
+our forbearance to shoote (as formerly) concluded thereuppon that our
+peeces were, as they saide, sicke and not to be used; uppon this, not
+longe after they were boulde to presume to assault some of our people,
+whom they slew, therin breakinge that league, which before was so fairly
+kept.
+
+Duringe his time of Government most of the people of the Collony
+remained (as formerly) in the common service, their freedome not beinge
+to be obtained without extraordinary payement.
+
+The next ship that arrived heere was the George, sett forth, as we
+supose, at the charge of private adventurers, but came soe meanly
+provided with victuall, that had not we, the old Planters, relieved them
+most of them had been starved. The next ships, called the Neptune and
+Treasurer, arived in August followinge, set out at the charge of the
+Right Hono^{ble} the Lord Laware, his noble associates, and some other
+private adventurers. The people w^{ch} arived were soe poorely
+victualled that had they not been distributed amongst the old Planters
+they must for want have perished; with them was brought a most pestilent
+disease (called the Bloody flux) which infected all most all the whole
+Collonye. That disease, nothstanding all our former afflictions, was
+never knowne before amongst us.
+
+The next supply weare two ships called the William & Thomas and the
+Guift, which arived in Januarie; the Guift beinge sett forth at the
+charge of the Societie of Martin's Hundred, the other by the Magazin and
+some private adventurers.
+
+The next, a small ship called the Elinor (sett forth at whose charge we
+know not), arived heere in Aprill after, and in her Capt. Samuell
+Argoll, leaving his Government, shipt himselfe for Englande. Whatsoever
+els befell in the time of his Government we omit to relate, much beinge,
+uppon our oathes, alreadie sufficiently examined and our answers sent
+for Englande.
+
+By all which hath heertofore beene saide concerninge this Collony, from
+the infancie therof and untill the expiration of Sir Thomas Smith's
+government, may easily be perceived and plainly understood what just
+cause he or any els have to boast of the flourishing estate of those
+times, wherin so great miseries and callamities were indured, and soe
+few workes of moment or importance performed, himselfe beinge justly to
+be charged as a prime author therof, by his neglect of providinge and
+alloweinge better meanes to proceede in so great a worke, and in
+hindering very many of our frendes from sendinge much releife and meanes
+who beinge earnestly solicited from hence by our letters--wherin we
+lamentablie complained unto them--have often besought Sir Thomas Smith
+that they might have leave to supplie us at their owne charge both with
+provision of victuall and all other necessaries, wherin he utterlie
+denied them so to doe, protestinge to them that we were in noe want at
+all, but that we exceeded in abundance and plentie of all things, so
+that therby our frendes were moved both to desist from sendinge and
+to doubt the truth of our letters, most part of which weare by him
+usually intercepted and kept backe; farther giveinge order by his
+directions to the Governor heere, that all men's letters should be
+searched at the goinge away of ships, and if in anye of them weare
+founde that the true estate of the Collony was declared, they were
+presented to the Governor and the indighters of them severely punished;
+by which meanes noe man durst make any true relation to his frendes of
+his owne or the Collonye's true estate; neither was it permitted to anye
+to have passe to goe home, but by force were kept heere and employed as
+we have saide (save some few), one of whom receved his passe from the
+Kinge, and that closely made up in a garter, least it should have been
+seized uppon and he kept heere notwithstandinge. Those whom their
+frendes procured their passe in open courte from the Companye were, by
+private direction, neverthelesse made staye of, others procuringe
+private letters having been lett goe.
+
+We must alsoe noat heere, that Sir Thos. Dale, at his arivall finding
+himself deluded by the aforesaid protestations, pulled Capt. Newport by
+the beard, and threatninge to hange him, for that he affirmed Sir Thos.
+Smith's relation to be true, demandinge of him whether it weare meant
+that the people heere in Virginia shoulde feed uppon trees.
+
+Soe may we heere conclude, as some have concluded for him, to what great
+growth of perfection (with the expence of that seaventie thousand
+poundes) the Plantation was advanced in the time of his 12 years'
+government, but whether, as it is saide, he be to be praised for the
+managaing of these affaires, with much unanimity, moderation, integritie
+and judgment, we leave it to censure.
+
+At the end of this twelve yeares arived Sir George Yeardley to be Gov^r
+and founde the Collony in this estate and thus furnished, vizt: For
+fortification against a forreign ennemie there was none at all; two demy
+culverin only were mounted uppon rotten carriages and placed within
+James Citty, fitter to shoot downe our houses then to offend an ennemie.
+At Charles Hundred, which were mounted by Sir Thos. Dale, two demy
+culverin and one sacre; fortifications against a domestique enimie very
+mean. For Forts, Towns and Plantations he founde these: James Citty,
+Henrico, Charles Citty and Hundred, Shirley Hundred, Arrahattock, Martin
+Brandon and Kicoughton, all w^{ch} were but poorely housed and as ill
+fortified; for in James Cittie were only those houses that Sir Thom.
+Gates built in the time of his government, with one wherin the Gov^r
+allwayes dwelt, an addition beinge made therto in the time of Captaine
+Sam^l Argoll, and a church, built, wholly at the charge of the
+inhabitants of that cittie, of Timber, beinge fifty foote in length and
+twenty foot in breadth; at Paspahayes alsoe weare some few slight houses
+built; at Henrico, two or three old howses, a poore ruinated church with
+some few poore buildings in the Island; Coxen Dale and the Maine and att
+Arrahatocke one house, at Charles Cittie sixe howses much decayed, and,
+that we may not be too tedious, as these, soe were the rest of the
+places furnisht.
+
+For people then alive about the nomber of foure hundred, very many of
+them in want of corne, utterlie destitute of cattle, twine, Poultrie and
+other Provisions to nourish them.
+
+For Barques, Pinnaces, Shallops, Barges and Boates he founde only one
+olde Frigott, which belonged to the Sommer Islandes, one olde Shallopp
+built in Sir Thos. Dale's time, one boat built in Sir Sam'l Argoll's
+time, with two small boates belonginge to private men. For munition a
+very small quantitye, the most part thereof beinge very bad and of
+little use. For ministers to instruct the people he founde only three
+authorized, two others who never received their orders.
+
+For staple commodities at his arrivall he founde none afoot save only
+Tobacco. The natives he founde uppon doubtfull termes, neither did we
+ever perceive that at any time they voluntarilie yealded themselves
+subjects or servants to our Gracious Soveraigne, neither that ever they
+tooke any pride in that title, nor paide they at any time any yearly
+contribution of corne for the sustentation of the Collony, nor could we
+at any time keepe them in such goode respect or correspondencie that
+they and we did become mutuallie helpfull or proffitable, each to other,
+but to the contrary, whatsoever at any time was done uppon them
+proceeded from fear without love, for such help as we have had from them
+have been procured by sworde or trade. And heere can we noe way approve
+of that which hath lately beene saide in the behalfe of Sir Thos. Smith,
+by some of his new frendes, that a flourishinge plantation in Virginia,
+erected in the time of his 12 yeares government, hath since been
+distroyed through the ignorance of succeedinge Governors heere, for that
+by what we have already saide all the worlde may judge in what a
+flourishinge estate it was, and to what growth of perfection it was
+advanced, at the arivall of Sir Geo. Yeardley to be Gov^r here, it
+beinge then in our judgements, that were members of the colony, in a
+poore estate.
+
+The whole 12 yeares expired.
+
+_Aprill, 1619._--Arived Sir Geo. Yeardeley, bringing certain commissions
+and instructions from the Company for the better establishinge of a
+Commonwealth heere, wherin order was taken for the removing of all those
+grievances which formerly were suffred and manifested the same by
+publishinge a Proclamation that all those that were residend heere
+before the departure of Sir Thos. Dale should be freed and acquitted
+from such publique services and labours which formerly they suffered,
+and that those cruell lawes by which we had soe longe been governed were
+now abrogated, and that we were now to be governed by those free lawes
+which his Ma^{ty's} subjects live under in Englande. And farther that
+free libertie was given to all men to make choice of their dividents of
+lande and, as their abilities and meanes w^d permitt, to possesse and
+plant uppon them. And that they might have a hande in the governinge of
+themselves, it was granted that a general assemblie should be helde
+yearly once, wherat were to be present the Gov^r and Counsell with two
+Burgesses from each Plantation freely to be elected by the inhabitants
+thereof; this assembly to have power to make and ordaine whatsoever
+lawes and orders should by them be thought good and proffittable for our
+subsistance. The effect of which proceedinge gave such incouragement to
+every person heere that all of them followed their perticular labours
+with singular alacrity and industry, soe that, through the blessinge of
+God uppon our willinge labors, within the space of three yeares, our
+countrye flourished with many new erected Plantations, from the head of
+the River to Kicoughtan, beautifull and pleasant to the spectators, and
+comfortable for the releife and succor of all such as by occasion did
+travaile by land or by water; every man giveinge free entertainment,
+both to frendes or others. The plenty of these times likewise was such
+that all men generally were sufficiently furnished with corne, and many
+alsoe had plenty of cattle, swine, poultry and other good provisions to
+nourish them. Monethly courtes were held in every precinct to doe
+justice in redressinge of all small and petty matters, others of more
+consequence beinge referred to the Gov^r, Counsell and Generall
+Assemblie. Now alsoe were begunne and sett a foote the erectinge of Iron
+Workes, plantinge of vines and mulberrie trees for the nourishinge of
+silke wormes; a trial made for silke grasse tillage for English graine,
+gardeninge, and the like, which gave great hopes of present and future
+plenty in their severall perticulars, wherin no doubt but much more had
+been effected had not great sicknes and mortalitie prevented.
+
+Those yeares fallinge out to be generally contagious through this
+continent, the people alsoe sent over arrived heere at the most
+unseasonable time of the yeare, beinge at the heat of Sommer, and divers
+of the ships brought with them most pestilent infections, wherof many of
+their people had died at Sea, soe that these times alsoe of plenty and
+libertie were mixed with the calamities of sicknes and mortalitie.
+
+       *       *       *       *       *
+
+_In October, 1621_, Arived Sir Fras. Wyatt, Knight, with commission to
+be Gov^r and Capt. Gen^l of Virginia. He ratified and confirmed all the
+afore mentioned liberties, freedomes and priveledges, to our great
+happines and content; the country alsoe flourished and increased in her
+former proceedinges, as iron workes, plantinge of vines and mulberrie
+for silke, &c. A ship alsoe was sent to the Summer Islandes for such
+commodities as that place afforded, as Potatoes, Fig Trees, Orange and
+Lemon Trees, and such like, many of which prosper and growe very likely
+to increase. But amidst this happines was the Hande of God sett against
+us, in great part, no doubt, for the punishment of our ingratitude in
+not being thankefull but forgettfull that by his mercye we were
+delivered from such bondage and calamitie as before time we had
+suffered. Justly likewise were we punished for our greedy desires of
+present gaine and proffit, wherin many showed themselves insatiable and
+covetous; we beinge too secure in trustinge of a treacherous enimie, the
+Salvadges, they, whilest we entertained them frendley in our houses,
+tooke their opportunities and suddenly fell uppon us, killing and
+murdering very many of our people, burninge and devastinge their houses
+and plantations, this happeninge uppon the _two and twenteth of March_
+followinge (1622), stroocke so at the life of our wellfare by blood and
+spoile, that it almost generally defaced the beautie of the wholl
+Collonye, puttinge us out of the way of bringinge to perfection those
+excellent workes wherin we had made soe faire a beginninge.
+
+This deadly stroake being given to the great amazement and ruine of our
+State, caused our Governor and Counsell, withall speede, for the safetie
+of the rest (lest the Indians shoulde take courage to pursue what they
+had begunne), to re-collect the straglinge and woefull Inhabitants, soe
+dismembered, into stronger bodies and more secure places. This enforced
+reducement of the Collony into fewer bodies, together with the troble of
+warre then in hande, caused the year following a slender harvest to be
+reaped, wherby we weare constrained to relye upon hopes for our reliefe
+by shippinge out of Englande, and by trading with the more remote
+Salvadges, most part of which supplies from Englande unfortunately
+miscarried by the waye, the Salvadges, likewise, from whome we hoped to
+have helpes by trade, proved our most treacherous ennemies, cunninglye
+circumventinge and cruellie murderinge such as were employed abroade to
+gett reliefe from them, by all which misaccidents we fell that yeare
+into great want and scarcitye; which since, by the blessinge of God,
+through our supplies we have had from the Company, together with a
+plentifull harvest, hath bene abundantly restored. Our Gov^r, Counsell
+and others have used their uttermost and Christian endeavours in
+prosequtinge revenge against the bloody Salvadges, and have endeavoured
+to restore the Collonye to her former prosperitye, wherin they have used
+great diligence and industrye, imployinge many forces abroade for the
+rootinge them out of severall places that therby we may come to live in
+better securitie, doubtinge not but in time we shall clean drive them
+from these partes, and therby have the free libertie and range for our
+cattle, the increase of whom may bringe us to plentie, and maye alsoe
+more freely goe on againe with setting up those staple commodities which
+we hoped by this time to have brought to good perfection.
+
+For the supplies of shippinge, men, cattle and provisions that have
+arived heere since Sir Thomas Smith left his government we can not nowe
+well reckon up, they beinge manye, but must referre you to the printed
+bookes and to the Lists and Invoices retorned by Sir Geo. Yeardley.
+
+For the State of the Collony at this present we leave to the report of
+such commissioners as are nowe sent over by the Right Hon. the Lordes of
+his Ma^{tie's} privie counsell.
+
+This being reade in the Gen^l Assemblie received full approbation.

+A LIST
+
+OF THE NUMBER OF
+
+MEN, WOMEN AND CHILDREN
+
+INHABITING IN THE SEVERAL COUNTIES
+
+WITHIN THE COLONY OF VIRGINIA,
+
+_ANNO D^{NE}, 1634_.
+
+
+
+PREFACE.
+
+
+The three succeeding papers are printed from the De Jarnette collection.
+The first is a census in gross without any details of sex, age or social
+condition. In these respects it lacks the interest which one feels in
+the list made out in 1623.
+
+In February, 1623, there were living in the Colony 1277 persons, and
+including 371 who had died during the preceding year, _i.e._ since
+April, 1622; it is evident that the greatest number of inhabitants
+during the year ending February 16, 1623--not including those murdered
+in the massacre--amounted to 1648; and in 1634, eleven years afterwards,
+they amounted to 5,119, being an increase of 3,471, or an average of
+about 315 per annum, by birth and immigration. Accustomed as we are to
+the rapid growth of new countries this seems but a small increase, but
+when it is remembered that they made the voyage in sailing vessels only,
+and that it then not unfrequently lasted three or four months, we have
+little cause for wonder.
+
+The next paper is a copy of a letter from His Majesty Charles II., to
+the Governor, Sir Wm. Berkeley, returning his thanks for a present of
+silk grown in Virginia. The first settlers were very anxious for success
+in this department of industry, and the House of Burgesses in 1657-'8
+passed a law offering a premium of 5,000 pounds of tobacco to any one
+who made "100 pounds of wound silke in any one year," and in the next
+session, 1658-'9, the premium was made 10,000 pounds of tobacco for 50
+pounds of "wound silke." We have frequently heard repeated a tradition
+to the effect that Charles II. wore a robe made of Virginia silk at his
+coronation. The circumstance of which this document is evidence, is
+probably the nearest approach to any thing of the sort that ever
+occurred, and hereafter this with the foolish and groundless story of
+one of the Lees going to see him when an exile at Breda, to offer him a
+crown and a refuge in Virginia, must be consigned to that oblivion which
+is likely, soon, we hope, to receive many of the mythical legends which
+have heretofore passed current for the history of Virginia.
+
+The third is a list of the parishes and their ministers in 1680, the
+number of the latter showing that the people were poorly provided for in
+this respect, and that some of the parishes had no ministers. This
+deficiency was, however, in a measure provided for by the appointment of
+"readers" under the operation of acts passed February 1632-'3, by which
+if a minister's cure "is so large that he cannot be present on the
+Saboth and other holy days. _It is thought fit_ That they appoint
+deacons for the readinge of common prayer in their absence;" and
+further, in March, 1661-'2, it was enacted "That every parish not
+haveing a minister to officiate every Sunday doe make choice of a grave
+and sober person to read divine service at the Parish church."--Hen.
+Vol. I., p. 208; Vol. II., p. 46, 54.

+
+ADDENDA.
+
+
+The following additions to the text and notes are suggested as
+explanatory, without being considered superfluous.
+
+Page 16.--"The sixte petition, to change the sauage name of Kicowtan,"
+was granted. In 1621, Treasurer Sandys in his report to the Company
+informed them that the name had been changed to Elizabeth
+Cittie.--Neill's history, page 178.
+
+Page 25.--The word "howes" inserted in connection with various kinds of
+dogs, is our modern word hoe; Smith has it hows on page 86, and howes on
+page 162.
+
+Page 29.--Capt. Henry Spelman, was the third son of the distinguished
+antiquary, Sir Henry Spelman, of Conghan, Norfolk, England. He was about
+twenty-one years of age when he came to Virginia, in 1609, for which he
+accounts as follows: "Beinge in displeasuer of my frendes, and desirous
+to see other countryes. After three months' sayle we cum with prosperus
+winds in sight of Virginia." Afterwards he says, "I was carried by Capt.
+Smith, our President, to ye Fales, to ye litell Powhatan, wher, vnknowne
+to me he sould me to him for a towne called Powhatan."--Spilman's
+Relation, pp. 15, 16. Dr. Simons, in Smith's General Historie, says:
+"Captain West and Captain Sickelmore sought abroad to trade; Sickelmore,
+upon the confidence of Powhatan, with about thirty other as careless as
+himselfe, were all slaine, onely Jeffrey Shortridge escaped, and
+Pokahontas, the King's daughter, saued a boy called Henry Spilman, that
+liued many yeeres after, by her meanes, among the Patawmokes;" this
+occurred in 1609.--Smith, p. 105. He remained with the Indians but
+little more than one year, for in 1610 Capt. Argall being sent to the
+"riuer Patawmoke to trade for corne," where finding him, used Spelman's
+influence to secure the loading of his vessel with corn, and Spelman
+returned with him to Jamestown.--Smith, p. 108. Spelman adds, "and
+brought into England," p. 221. We then lose sight of him until he is
+arraigned before the Assembly at Jamestown in 1619 (_ante_ p. 29) He
+makes his final appearance in 1623, when we are told, he was sent with a
+bark and twenty-six men to "trucke in the River Patawmek," where at some
+place, the name of which was to his companions unknown, he landed with
+twenty-one of his companions, when the savages made hostile
+demonstrations "and presently after they" (the five left in the bark)
+"heard a great brute amongst the Saluages ashore, and saw a man's head
+thrown downe the banke, whereupon they weighed Anchor and returned home,
+but how he was surprised or slaine is vncertaine."--Smith p. 161.
+Spelman wrote a short account of his observations while among the
+Indians, and it laid in obscurity until the sale of Dawson Turner's
+library, in 1859, when it was bought by Mr. Joseph Lilly and, by
+accident, again lost; and at the sale of Mr. Lilly's library, in 1871,
+it was again discovered and purchased for James F. Hunniwell, Esq., who
+has had one hundred copies printed for private circulation.
+
+Spelman was not the only Englishman with the savages. In the same year
+that Spelman was sold for a town, or saved by Pocahontas--whichever
+version being correct--Admiral Newport gave Powhatan a boy, named Thomas
+Salvage, in exchange for "Namontack, his trustie seruant." Spelman says
+Savage was murdered by the Indians, but there is a tradition that he
+lived nearly all his life with them; became possessor of a tract of land
+on the eastern shore by gift and that it remained in his family until
+within the last ten years, when it was sold by some of his descendants
+then living in Philadelphia. The authority for this statement is
+obtained in correspondence with Hon. Hugh B. Grigsby, LL. D., President
+of the Virginia Historical Society.

+Page 39.--To note to Jordan's Journey it may be added that a reference
+to this place is doubtless made when Smith says: "After the massacre
+many of the inhabitants fortified themselves against other attacks, and
+Master Samuel Iorden gathered but a few about him at Begger's Bush" (the
+title of one of Fletcher's comedies) "where he fortified."--Smith, p.
+150; Campbell, p. 164.

+sal-sodiack enough to make glasse, and of which we have made some store
+in a goodly house sett up for the same purpose, a little without the
+island where Jamestown stands."--Strachey's Virginia Brittania (1612),
+p. 71. "To take care of Capt. Wm. Norton and certaine Italians sent to
+sitt a glass house."--Instructions to Sir Francis Wyatt (1621), Hening

+
+1.B.  "Project Gutenberg" is a registered trademark.  It may only be

+things that you can do with most Project Gutenberg-tm electronic works
+even without complying with the full terms of this agreement.  See

+Gutenberg-tm electronic works if you follow the terms of this agreement
+and help preserve free future access to Project Gutenberg-tm electronic
+works.  See paragraph 1.E below.
+
+1.C.  The Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation ("the Foundation"
+or PGLAF), owns a compilation copyright in the collection of Project
+Gutenberg-tm electronic works.  Nearly all the individual works in the
+collection are in the public domain in the United States.  If an
+individual work is in the public domain in the United States and you are
+located in the United States, we do not claim a right to prevent you from
+copying, distributing, performing, displaying or creating derivative
+works based on the work as long as all references to Project Gutenberg
+are removed.  Of course, we hope that you will support the Project
+Gutenberg-tm mission of promoting free access to electronic works by
+freely sharing Project Gutenberg-tm works in compliance with the terms of
+this agreement for keeping the Project Gutenberg-tm name associated with
+the work.  You can easily comply with the terms of this agreement by
+keeping this work in the same format with its attached full Project
+Gutenberg-tm License when you share it without charge with others.
+
+1.D.  The copyright laws of the place where you are located also govern
+what you can do with this work.  Copyright laws in most countries are in

+before downloading, copying, displaying, performing, distributing or

+or charges.  If you are redistributing or providing access to a work

+1.F.
+
+1.F.1.  Project Gutenberg volunteers and employees expend considerable
+effort to identify, do copyright research on, transcribe and proofread
+public domain works in creating the Project Gutenberg-tm
+collection.  Despite these efforts, Project Gutenberg-tm electronic
+works, and the medium on which they may be stored, may contain
+"Defects," such as, but not limited to, incomplete, inaccurate or
+corrupt data, transcription errors, a copyright or other intellectual
+property infringement, a defective or damaged disk or other medium, a
+computer virus, or computer codes that damage or cannot be read by
+your equipment.
+
+1.F.2.  LIMITED WARRANTY, DISCLAIMER OF DAMAGES - Except for the "Right
+of Replacement or Refund" described in paragraph 1.F.3, the Project
+Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation, the owner of the Project
+Gutenberg-tm trademark, and any other party distributing a Project
+Gutenberg-tm electronic work under this agreement, disclaim all
+liability to you for damages, costs and expenses, including legal
+fees.  YOU AGREE THAT YOU HAVE NO REMEDIES FOR NEGLIGENCE, STRICT
+LIABILITY, BREACH OF WARRANTY OR BREACH OF CONTRACT EXCEPT THOSE
+PROVIDED IN PARAGRAPH F3.  YOU AGREE THAT THE FOUNDATION, THE
+TRADEMARK OWNER, AND ANY DISTRIBUTOR UNDER THIS AGREEMENT WILL NOT BE
+LIABLE TO YOU FOR ACTUAL, DIRECT, INDIRECT, CONSEQUENTIAL, PUNITIVE OR
+INCIDENTAL DAMAGES EVEN IF YOU GIVE NOTICE OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH
+DAMAGE.
+
+1.F.3.  LIMITED RIGHT OF REPLACEMENT OR REFUND - If you discover a
+defect in this electronic work within 90 days of receiving it, you can
+receive a refund of the money (if any) you paid for it by sending a
+written explanation to the person you received the work from.  If you
+received the work on a physical medium, you must return the medium with
+your written explanation.  The person or entity that provided you with
+the defective work may elect to provide a replacement copy in lieu of a
+refund.  If you received the work electronically, the person or entity
+providing it to you may choose to give you a second opportunity to
+receive the work electronically in lieu of a refund.  If the second copy
+is also defective, you may demand a refund in writing without further
+opportunities to fix the problem.
+
+1.F.4.  Except for the limited right of replacement or refund set forth
+in paragraph 1.F.3, this work is provided to you 'AS-IS', WITH NO OTHER
+WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO

+
+1.F.5.  Some states do not allow disclaimers of certain implied
+warranties or the exclusion or limitation of certain types of damages.
+If any disclaimer or limitation set forth in this agreement violates the
+law of the state applicable to this agreement, the agreement shall be
+interpreted to make the maximum disclaimer or limitation permitted by
+the applicable state law.  The invalidity or unenforceability of any
+provision of this agreement shall not void the remaining provisions.
+
+1.F.6.  INDEMNITY - You agree to indemnify and hold the Foundation, the
+trademark owner, any agent or employee of the Foundation, anyone
+providing copies of Project Gutenberg-tm electronic works in accordance
+with this agreement, and any volunteers associated with the production,
+promotion and distribution of Project Gutenberg-tm electronic works,
+harmless from all liability, costs and expenses, including legal fees,
+that arise directly or indirectly from any of the following which you do
+or cause to occur: (a) distribution of this or any Project Gutenberg-tm
+work, (b) alteration, modification, or additions or deletions to any
+Project Gutenberg-tm work, and (c) any Defect you cause.
+
+
+Section  2.  Information about the Mission of Project Gutenberg-tm
+
+Project Gutenberg-tm is synonymous with the free distribution of
+electronic works in formats readable by the widest variety of computers
+including obsolete, old, middle-aged and new computers.  It exists
+because of the efforts of hundreds of volunteers and donations from
+people in all walks of life.
+
+Volunteers and financial support to provide volunteers with the
+assistance they need, is critical to reaching Project Gutenberg-tm's
+goals and ensuring that the Project Gutenberg-tm collection will
+remain freely available for generations to come.  In 2001, the Project
+Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation was created to provide a secure
+and permanent future for Project Gutenberg-tm and future generations.
+To learn more about the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation
+and how your efforts and donations can help, see Sections 3 and 4
+and the Foundation web page at http://www.gutenberg.org/fundraising/pglaf.
+
+
+Section 3.  Information about the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive
+Foundation
+
+The Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation is a non profit
+501(c)(3) educational corporation organized under the laws of the
+state of Mississippi and granted tax exempt status by the Internal
+Revenue Service.  The Foundation's EIN or federal tax identification
+number is 64-6221541.  Contributions to the Project Gutenberg
+Literary Archive Foundation are tax deductible to the full extent
+permitted by U.S. federal laws and your state's laws.

+     Chief Executive and Director
+     gbnewby@pglaf.org
+
+Section 4.  Information about Donations to the Project Gutenberg
+Literary Archive Foundation
+
+Project Gutenberg-tm depends upon and cannot survive without wide
+spread public support and donations to carry out its mission of
+increasing the number of public domain and licensed works that can be
+freely distributed in machine readable form accessible by the widest
+array of equipment including outdated equipment.  Many small donations
+($1 to $5,000) are particularly important to maintaining tax exempt
+status with the IRS.
+
+The Foundation is committed to complying with the laws regulating
+charities and charitable donations in all 50 states of the United
+States.  Compliance requirements are not uniform and it takes a
+considerable effort, much paperwork and many fees to meet and keep up
+with these requirements.  We do not solicit donations in locations
+where we have not received written confirmation of compliance.  To
+SEND DONATIONS or determine the status of compliance for any
+particular state visit http://www.gutenberg.org/fundraising/donate
+
+While we cannot and do not solicit contributions from states where we
+have not met the solicitation requirements, we know of no prohibition
+against accepting unsolicited donations from donors in such states who
+approach us with offers to donate.
+
+International donations are gratefully accepted, but we cannot make
+any statements concerning tax treatment of donations received from
+outside the United States.  U.S. laws alone swamp our small staff.
+
+Please check the Project Gutenberg Web pages for current donation
+methods and addresses.  Donations are accepted in a number of other
+ways including checks, online payments and credit card donations.
+To donate, please visit:

+
+
+Section 5.  General Information About Project Gutenberg-tm electronic
+works.
+
+Professor Michael S. Hart is the originator of the Project Gutenberg-tm
+concept of a library of electronic works that could be freely shared
+with anyone.  For thirty years, he produced and distributed Project
+Gutenberg-tm eBooks with only a loose network of volunteer support.
+
+Project Gutenberg-tm eBooks are often created from several printed
+editions, all of which are confirmed as Public Domain in the U.S.
+unless a copyright notice is included.  Thus, we do not necessarily
+keep eBooks in compliance with any particular paper edition.
+
+Most people start at our Web site which has the main PG search facility:
+
+     http://www.gutenberg.org
+
+This Web site includes information about Project Gutenberg-tm,
+including how to make donations to the Project Gutenberg Literary
+Archive Foundation, how to help produce our new eBooks, and how to
+subscribe to our email newsletter to hear about new eBooks.
