PREWITT - PRUITT RECORDS OF VIRGINIA By Richard A. Prewitt PREWITT - PRUITT RECORDS OF VIRGINIA DATE MICROFILMED f/tfAf /?<?f ITEM #-,// . .., PROJECT and G.S. ROLL # CALL # By Richard A. Prewitt 1800 N.W. 81st St. Des Moines, IA 50325 1996 FAMILY HISTORY LIBRA BY 35 NORTH WEST TEMPLE SALT LAKE CITY, UTAH 84150 VIRGINIA State - 1788 The name Virginia was given by Queen Elizabeth to the country explored by Sir. Walter Raleigh in 1584. On April 10, 1606, James I granted a territory 200 miles wide to two companies, usually called the London and Plymouth Companies. The London Company, that held the southern grant, was organized under Sir. Thomas Smith. Christopher Newport sailed for America with the first colonists and arrived at Cape Henry on April 26, 1607. Having explored Chesapeake Bay, Newport entered the James River and founded Jamestown on May 14, 1607, the first permanent English settlement in America. Malaria, Indian hostility, insufficient provisions, and unaccustomed labor reduced the number of Jamestown settlers to half in less than four months. When Captain Newport returned on Jan. 12, 1608, only 38 men were left. John Smith was elected president of the colony in 1608. Captain John Smith provided the strong leadership needed by the fledgling settlement. Through several harsh winters the colony struggled to stay alive, new supplies and immigrants came each year. A new charter in 1609 incorporated the London Company and enlarged its territory. John Rolfe established the tobacco growing industry in 1612, and in 1614 married Pocahontas, daughter of the powerful Indian Powhatan, thus improving relations between the colonists and the Indians. -

PREFACE What are the origins and the fortunes of any idea that has taken shape? These must be interesting questions always, and not least so in the case of an academic institution in a new country. Southside Virginia has been a tobacco country from the first. Who have been those of the region that have been formally identified with efforts looking to the maintenance of the academic tradition? The following pages give an answer for Hampden Sidney College, which, with William and Mary and Washington and Lee, has survived in Virginia from a colonial foundation. Hampden Sidney and Washington and Lee, repre- senting the south and the west in the State, mark the beginnings of the positive Revolution ; the history of William and Mary, stand- ing for the colony, is now dim with the circumstances of age. -
