  • Article 4 Contact 1607 to 1614 Final
    Article 4 The Contact Period – Arrival of first colonists thru the starving time The Powhatan Tribes had been inhabiting the shores of the James River for several centuries when the sun rose on May 13, 1607. On this day the lives of these Indians and many others changed forever. This is the day that 104 English colonists landed at Jamestown Island with the intent of creating a permanent settlement in the New World. This article will provide the reader with insights into the establishment of Jamestown and a brief window into the precarious nature of its existence for its first several years. There were four primary reasons that King James I of England chartered the Virginia Company to go forth and explore the New World. The Crown and the Company investors hoped to find the elusive all-water route to the Orient and all of its treasures; to convert the indigenous population of the New World to Christianity; to find gold for England’s treasury; and finally to export raw and manufactured goods for investor profit. None of these goals were ever really met as the Indians resisted proselytizing, manufacturing projects were clearly not lucrative, and there was no gold for the taking. The Virginia Company charter of 1606 granted the investors an area of 100 miles along the coastline and 100 miles inland. This area included what we now know as Governor’s Land at the mouth of the Chickahominy River. The charter was revised in 1609 giving the Virginia Company 200 miles of coastline north and south of the mouth of the James River and all the land east and west from sea to sea.

  • With So Many Sick, John Smith Became the Lead Trade Negotiator
    John Smith and Jamestown: A Different Interpretation--Part II Written by Mr. Schloeder Taken from Marooned : Jamestown, ​ Shipwreck and a New History of America’s Origin by Joseph Kelly and ​ "Abundance of Blood Shed on Both Sides": England's First Indian War, 1609-1614 by J. Frederick Fausz ​ ​ With so many sick, John Smith became the lead trade negotiator for the colony -- his title was the “cape merchant.” Smith revels in his writing of all the success he has trading. What is left out by Smith and the other Gentlemen is that the only reason the Indians traded with Jamestown was because their newest tribesmen (the former colonists) asked Wahunsonacock and informed him that Jamestown had many valuable items to trade for food. Smith’s success angered the Gentlemen and fractions amongst the colonists arose. Ratcliffe and Archer wanted to sail the pinnace back to England. Smith and John Martin wanted the pinnace to trade further up river. Goerge Kendall, a follower of Smith, was accused of being a Spanish spy and executed. John Smith leaves Jamestown to trade and is kidnapped. It is here that the legend of Pocahontas was born. In fact, it was another character from Blood on the River that Wahunsonacock turned to for ​ advice as to what to do with Smith and the Jamestown colony. Namontack, although a teenager, was trusted by Wahunsonacock because of his loyalty as if he were family. Namontack was intelligent, subtle and circumspect and Wahunsonacock schooled him on the diplomacy of being an important member of the Powhatan nation. It is not an accident that Namontack appears in Jamestown frequently and travels to England twice in his lifetime.

  • JAMESTOWN, Founding of a Nation and the Anglican Communion
    JAMESTOWN, Founding of a Nation and the Anglican Communion ...by Rev. Richard W. Davies How did the Anglican Communion begin? The simple answer is to note the beginning of a parish church outside of the British Isles. That answer will take us to Jamestown, Virginia, and the year of our Lord, 1607. In 1603, one of King James I interests was to colonize a new part of the world. The King was encouraged by the Rev. Richard Hakluyt, and priest of the Church of England, as an explorer and geographer. So the King issued letter patent to English businessmen to form a business venture called the Virginia Company (name for Elizabeth I, the “virgin queen.”) and to found a settlement and an English parish in the new world of America. The King named Hakluyt as the rector, and he named an English priest, Robert Hunt, to be his vicar and chaplain to the Virginia Company. Robert Hunt was born about 1560. He had been the vicar of the parish of Reculver in Kent, the historic church which marked the landing of St. Augustine in 597 and the first Christian settlement in England brought from Europe. He later was the Vicar of Heathfield, in Sussex. On December 19, 1606, three ships, Susan Constant, Godspeed, and Discovery left England for the new colony. The journey was storm-tossed and therefore delayed. Hunt almost died from illness, but he continued to minister to the irritable crew and businessmen. Hunt alone was shown respect and trust. On April 19, 1607, the expedition touched American land and they erected a cross, prayed at a point they called Cape Henry.

    PEOPLE MENTIONED IN CAPE COD: CAPTAIN BARTHOLOMEW GOSNOLD “NARRATIVE HISTORY” AMOUNTS TO FABULATION, THE REAL STUFF BEING MERE CHRONOLOGY “Stack of the Artist of Kouroo” Project Captain Bartholomew Gosnold HDT WHAT? INDEX THE PEOPLE OF CAPE COD:CAPTAIN BARTHOLOMEW GOSNOLD 1572 John Donne was born in London to a prominent Roman Catholic family at a time when anti-Catholic feeling in England was near its height and Catholics were subject to constant harassment by the Elizabethan secret police (he would be a convert to Anglicanism during the 1590s). THE BISHOP’S BIBLE was printed by Richard Jugge in London (there had been a previous edition of this Black Letter Bible in 1568). It was an attempt of English ecclesiastics to replace the Geneva (or “Breeches”) version of Miles Coverdale, of the popularity of which they were jealous. The ornate Woodcut Initials, some showing scenes from the Classics, had been originally intended for an edition of Ovid and caused such a storm of criticism that they would not again be used in a Bible. This would sometimes be referred to as the “Leda Bible” because it used a Leda-and-the-Swan woodcut at the opening of the Book of Hebrews (and sometimes as the “Treacle Bible” because in Jeremiah 8:22 the word “treacle” was used instead of “balm”). TROSTSPIEGEL was printed in Frankfort by Christian Egenolff, a German translation of Petrarch’s prose treatise “De Remediis” (the woodcuts in this volume were by Hans Weiditz of the Ausburg school, had been in existence since 1520, and had already been used in 1532).

Reid, Hartford, Connecticut The Church of England in Colonial Virginia by Edgar Legare Pennington, S. T. D. The first efforts of the English to colonise Virginia had the support and co-operation of the Church of England clergy. Cap- tain Bartholomew Gosnold, who had made a voyage to Virginia in 1602, was so impressed with the prospects of development that he solicited assistance from his friends in a settlement of the country. "After some Years spent in vain, he at last prevailed with Capt. John Smith, Mr. Edward-Maria Wingfield, the Rev. Mr. Robert Hunt, and divers others to join in the Undertaking."^ On account of the burden and expense involved, he applied to the nobility, the gentry, and the merchants, who responded. Among those who were enthusiastic for the project we find the Reverend Richard Hakluyt, prebendary of Westminster and one of the world's most celebrated compilers of narratives of discovery and exploration.

  • Cape Henry: Spiritual Roots of a Nation by Craig Von Buseck
    Print settings for printable version with background image, print the following pages: Print pages: 2 ~ 8 Print settings for printable version without background image, print the following pages: Print pages: 9 ~ 15 Cape Henry: Spiritual Roots of a Nation By Craig von Buseck It was a warm, clear day in April, 1607, as an Anglican priest named Robert Hunt led a group of English colonists up a windswept dune to where they had erected a rough-hewn cross, carried over from England. The sound of the pounding surf contrasted with the high-pitched calls of the seagulls overhead as they walked through the sands of what they named Cape Henry – after the son of their King James. Lifting his eyes toward heaven, Hunt led them in a providential prayer that would forever mark the future of the nation that would rise from these shores – and would impact the destiny of other nations around the world. But this prophetic moment in time came, in part, as a result of more than half a century of labor and prayer by another Englishman – an Anglican priest who was also one of the world’s leading experts on exploration. His name was Richard Hakluyt. Born in 1552, and orphaned at a young age, Hakluyt became the ward of his older cousin of the same name. The elder Richard Hakluyt was a lawyer and a noted geographer who helped pave the way for the lad to become a Queen’s Scholar at Westminster school. While there, Hakluyt visited his elder cousin, who had a passion for navigation and cosmography.

INDEX THE PEOPLE OF CAPE COD: CAPTAIN GABRIEL ARCHER CAPE COD: Cape Cod is commonly said to have been discovered in 1602. PEOPLE OF We will consider at length under what circumstances, and with what CAPE COD observation and expectations, the first Englishmen whom history clearly discerns approached the coast of New England. According to GABRIEL ARCHER the accounts of Archer and Brereton (both of whom accompanied JOHN BRERETON Gosnold), on the 26th of March, 1602, old style, Captain Bartholomew Gosnold set sail from Falmouth, England, for the North Part of Virginia, in a small bark called the Concord, they being in all, says one account, “thirty-two persons, whereof eight mariners and sailors, twelve purposing upon the discovery to return with the ship for England, the rest remain there for population.” This is regarded as “the first attempt of the English to make a settlement within the limits of New England.” Pursuing a new and a shorter course than the usual one by the Canaries, “the 14th of April following” they “had sight of Saint Mary’s, an island of the Azores.” As their sailors were few and “none of the best,” (I use their own phrases,) and they were “going upon an unknown coast,” they were not “over-bold to stand in with the shore but in open weather”; so they made their first discovery of land with the lead.
