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 +The volumes of manuscripts contained, upon an average, 425 pages each, and were filled +with valuable historical documents, of many of which no copies had ever been seen on +this continent since the originals were sent from the Colony of Virginia.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 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 £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 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> + +<p><span style="margin-left: 3em;">Respectfully submitted,</span><br /> +<span style="margin-left: 5em;">by your obedient servants,</span></p> + +<table width="70%" border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" style="margin-left: 10em;" summary="bracket"> + <tr> + <td><span style="margin-left: 2em;">THOS.

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.

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 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 +body, though he errs a little in the date by an inference from Rolfe's narrative, +which the words do not warrant.</p> + +<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.

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 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> + +<p style="margin-left: 27em;">GEORGE BANCROFT.</p> + +<p style="margin-left: 2em;"><span class="smcap">New York</span>, <i>October 3, 1856</i>.</p> + +<div class="footnotes"><h3>FOOTNOTES</h3> + +<div class="footnote"><p><a name="Footnote_A_1" id="Footnote_A_1"></a><a href="#FNanchor_A_1"><span class="label">[A]</span></a> "A Briefe Declaration of the Plantation of Virginia during the first twelve yeares, when Sir Thomas Smyth was Governor, +of the Companie, and downe to this present tyme.

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 <i>Triall</i> 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.

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 <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.—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.

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.</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 36]</a></span></p> + +<hr /> + +<p><span class='pagenum'><a name="Page_37" id="Page_37">[Pg 37]</a></span></p>

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>—"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<span class='pagenum'><a name="Page_68" id="Page_68">[Pg 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—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.—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.

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 & 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.</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 & 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 & 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<span class='pagenum'><a name="Page_70" id="Page_70">[Pg 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, &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, & +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.</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, &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.</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 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, & 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<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 & 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,<span class='pagenum'><a name="Page_72" id="Page_72">[Pg 72]</a></span> +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<sup>r</sup> & Capt. Gen<sup>l</sup> 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.</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 73]</a></span> +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.</p> + +<p>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.</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.

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.

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.

Gates and Sir +Thos.

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 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, &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 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 & 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 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—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 +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 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.

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 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.

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.

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—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.</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 curé "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."—Hen.

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."—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—whichever version being correct—Admiral +Newport gave Powhatan a boy, named Thomas Salvage, in exchange for "Na<span class='pagenum'><a name="Page_106" id="Page_106">[Pg 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.

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.

Newby + 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> + +*** END: FULL LICENSE *** +</pre> +</body> +</html> |
