THE RECORDS OF
THE VIRGINIA COMPANY OF
LONDON
EAE €OU RT BOOK
VOLUME I
Preface
The records, and especially the Court Book, of the Virginia Company of London
have long been regarded as among the most precious manuscript treasures which
have found a lodgment within the United States. Not only is their inherent value
as an historical source very great, as has been explained by the editor in her
introduction, but a sentimental value also attaches to them. This has a twofold
origin. It arises, in the first place, from the fact that they belong at once to the
romantic period of our own beginnings and to the heroic period of England’s great
struggle against absolutism. The men who figure in the pages of this record were at
the same time playing their parts, on the one side or the other, in the controversies
which were then beginning with James I, and which were to broaden and deepen
under his son till England was plunged into the agonies of the great civil war. They
were contemporaries, and in not a few cases associates, of Coke and Eliot and
Hampden, of Bacon and Wentworth and Buckingham. The names of Sandys and
the Ferrars stand high on the roll of patriots by which the first generation of the
Stuart period is distinguished. These same men also, together with a long list of
the merchants and nobles of the time, were deeply interested in discovery and
colonization. As successors of Gilbert and Raleigh they were planting a new
England beyond the Atlantic. About this enterprise still clung some of the spirit
and memories of the Elizabethan seamen and their early struggles with Spain.
In the days when Smythe and Sandys were active the prosaic age of English
colonization had not yet begun. The glamour of romance, of the heroic, attaches to
the founding of Virginia and Plymouth, and makes them fit subjects for the poet.
By the time when the other colonies were founded the glow and inspiration had
giown faint or wholly disappeared. In the Records of the Virginia Company some
reflection may be seen of this early zeal, of the plans and ideals to which it gave rise.
Kiven their pages, cast in a style which is quite unusual in records of this nature,
make ono realize that he is in the company of noble and earnest spirits, men who
wore conscious that they were engaged ina great enterprise. The Court Book itself,
now that it is printed in full, will be found to be a worthy monument of English
speech, as it was used at the close of the Elizabethan epoch and by contemporaries
of Shakespeare and Bacon.
The fate which probably befell the original of this record, and the unusual steps
which it became necessary to take in order to secure and preserve a copy, were nat-
ural consequences of the struggles of the time, and add still further to the interest of

6 RECORDS OF THE VIRGINIA COMPANY
the text as we now possess it. Miss Kingsbury, by her use of the Ferrar papers,
has Leen able to establish by the clearest proof the connection of Nicholas Ferrar
with the transcription, and in many other ways she has added definiteness to the
accounts usually given of the origin and preservation of the record as we now possess
it. The transfer of the copy of the Court Book to Virginia and its transmission
from hand to hand till, through the medium of Thomas Jefferson’s library, it finally
passed into the possession of Congress fittingly concludes the remarkable history of
the preservation of this manuscript.
The high estimate which has been placed on its value is evidenced not only by the
use that has been made of it by historians, but by the long-continued efforts which have
been made to secure its publication. In 1858 Mr. J. Wingate Thornton, in an article
in the ‘‘ Historical Magazine,” explained the nature of the Court Book, told how it
had been preserved, and insisted upon the importance of its being published. ‘‘ As
these volumes are of national rather than of local interest,” said he, ‘reaching back
to the very foundation of the English companies for colonizing America; as they have
escaped the chances and mishaps of two centuries, on either side of the Atlantic,
and as Providence has now placed them in the keeping of our National Congress,
is it not our national duty to have them appropriately edited and published?” The
following year Mr. Thornton published a pamphlet in Boston, in which he outlined
the history of the manuscript and again raised the question of its publication. But
soon the Civil War came on, and plans of that kind, especially so far as they related
to southern history, had to be postponed.
But in 1868, three years after the close of the war, Mr. Edward D. Neill pre-
sented a memorial to Congress, in which he dwelt on the neglect by historians of
these most valuable manuscripts. He stated that, while preparing his book entitled
“Terra Mariae,” he had familiarized himself with the chirography of the records.
He now offered to undertake their editing without compensation, if he might be fur-
nished with two copyists for a limited time and be allowed a small sum for stationery
and contingent expenses. But this offer met with no response, and Mr. Neill was
forced to content himself with the publication of extracts from the manuscript in his
‘History of the Virginia Company of London” (Albany, 1869).
In March, 1877, Mr. Robert A. Brock, of the Virginia Historical Society, pub-
lished in the ‘* Richmond Daily Dispatch” a ‘‘ Plea for the Publication of the Records
of the Virginia Company.” In 1881 Senator John W. Johnston, of Virginia, intro-
duced into Congress a bill which was intended to provide for the publication of the
records. ‘This passed the Senate, but failed in the House.
During three successive sessions between the years 1885 and 1888 Dr. J. Franklin
Jameson applied to the Library Committee of Congress for permission to edit and
publish the records without expense to the Government. His plan was to obtain a
sufficient number of subscribers to justify the issue of the volumes by a private firm
and to meet the cost of the sale. Another suggestion which he also made was the
uppointment of a commission which should concern itself with the publishing of

historical material in the possession of Congress. While occupied with this matter
Dr. Jameson explained the history and value of the records to the Rhode Island
Ilistorical Society, and his address was reviewed in the ‘‘ Magazine of American
History” (vol. 21, January-June, 1889, p. 82).
But meantime some progress had been made with the actual printing of the Court
Book. Mr.-‘Conway Robinson had made copious extracts from it, especially of the
documentary material which is contained in the second volume. His extracts the
Virginia Historical Society published in 1889, under the editorship of Mr. R. A. Brock.
Until the present time this edition, in two volumes, has served the purpose of most
students. But the requirements of historical study in this country have now reached
a point where more complete and critical editions of the sources are needed than have
been common in the past. If this need was to be met, it became at once apparent
that no body of records was better adapted for a beginning than those which related
to the Virginia Company of London. In date and subject matter they stand at the
very threshold of American history. In character they form a distinct and unique
group of material. By the issue of a definitive edition of these records the demand
which scholars have so long made for their publication would be met and satisfied.
It was under the influence of considerations like these that the present work was
undertaken.
In the preparation of this body of records for the press critical accuracy and
helpfulness have been sought in all possible ways. The spelling of the original has
been carefully preserved throughout, for in editing a source of this character and
importance any attempt to modernize the text would be properly regarded as unjusti-
fiable. Not only has the spelling been preserved, but also the signs and abbrevia-
tions which abound, the use of which the men of the period had inherited from still
earlier times. So far as such a thing is possible in print, the text is exactly repro-
duced in these volumes, while an added element of reality is supplied by the photo-
graphs of specimen pages of the original manuscript.
Brief notes have been added where it was necessary to explain or call attention
to obscurities, omissions, or other irregularities in the text, the purpose being to
enable the reader to gain information of this kind from the printed page with the
same certainty as if he were using the manuscript. In the notes, cross references
have also been given to the documents of the company and to its publications, when
they have been found to reproduce, or to illustrate and make more definite, the state-
ments which are contained in the Court Book. In citations of this kind the number
of cach document is given as it appears in the List of Records in the Introduction.
In this way the unity of the records of the company as a whole receives illustration,
and the investigator will be aided in any effort which he may make to learn all which
they have to reveal in reference to any subject. Finally, the index completes the
invaluable service which Miss Kingsbury has rendered in the editorship of the work.

1. Che Character of the Company
The individual effort which had revealed itself at the close of the medieval
period in other phases of the economic development and in the military history of
the past quarter century was especially prominent in the movement in 1606 for a
society of adventurers to trade in Virginia. The commercial advance had been
due chiefly to private enterprise, and the naval expeditions into the West Indies
against the Spanish had been fitted out and prosecuted by such adventurous spirits as
Sir Francis Drake, while the zeal for exploration and for gold, which inspired John
and Sebastian Cabot to search for a passage to Cathay and the East Indies in 1497,
led Sir Humphrey Gilbert and Sir Walter Raleigh a century later to seek out the
resources of the lands from Florida to Newfoundland. It is the same spirit of
adventure which inspired the narratives of John Smith and Henry Spelman as
they told of their relations with the Indians of America. But it is in the progress
of both the commercial and the political life of England that the Virginia Company
is important. For the plantation founded and nourished by a private concern as an
enterprise purely for gain was the social cause from which developed the colony
asa form of government. Its political organization is seen in its relations to the
Crown, of which there were two distinct phases. During the first three years it
was distinctly a creature of the King, the affairs of which were conducted by the
King through a council created by himself and responsible to himself, while to the
investors were left the privileges of raising the funds, furnishing the supplies, and
sending out the expeditions. It was a modification of this form of management to
which the government reverted after the dissolution of the Company in 1624, and
again at the end of the century when royal colonies were substituted for proprietary
and corporate forms throughout America. In the second phase the undertakers
became distinctly proprietary, retaining the commercial responsibilities, but assum-
ing governmental functions in place of the King.
A comy>rison between the royal grants for discovery in the sixteenth century
and those of the Virginia Company shows that there was an increase in the
direct territorial relations between King and subject, a limitation upon monopoly

12 INTRODUCTION
of trade, and a tendency on the part of the Crown to retain directly or indirectly
the powers of government. Thus, in the letters patent to Richard Warde, Thomas
Ashehurst, and associates in 1501,¢ to Sir Humphrey Gilbert in 1578, and to Sir
Walter Raleigh in 1584,’ the Crown conferred proprietorship of land with the
right to grant it out in fee simple at will. But in 1606 the land was held by the
undertakers, and again in 1609 by the adventurers and planters in free and common
socage, as of the manor of Greenwich of the county of Kent. Under the first Vir-
ginia charter it was granted by the King to those approved by the council; under
the second, by the members of the company to anyone who should have adventured
a certain sum of money or his person. The fief, distinctly so called in the early
charters, for which homage was to be rendered, with no service, however, save that
of one-fifth of the gold and silver gained, had disappeared; and the only direct feudal
relation with the King which remained arose from the requirement of a per cent of the
precious metals. The monopoly of trade by which Warde, Gilbert, and Raleigh were
allowed to seize and detain any one who trafficked within two hundred leagues of a set-
tlement was altered in 1606 so that the planters had only the right of collecting a
tax from such interlopers. The rights of government which had been surrendered
absolutely to the grantees in the sixteenth century charters were reserved to the
King by the letters patent of 1606 to be exercised through the council. In 1609
these powers were conferred on the company as an open body, it must be remem-
bered, and thus differed from the earlier grants and from the later proprietary grants
to Lord Baltimore or to William Penn.
Although the charter emphasizes the government of the plantation, the Virginia
Company was purely a commercial enterprise conducted by a private concern, even
before the charter of 1609, as is shown by the history of its early years. It was
backed by the patronage of the King, but only for the purpose of advancing the trade
of the Kingdom in foreign parts and saving the Crown from expense and responsi-
bility, as had been the policy in regard to the other trading companies. Nevertheless,
it was a step toward colonial expansion, for, as has well been said, ‘‘ the explorer is
potentially a colonizer,” and the army of laborers on the plantation became in time
an army of free tenants in a colony.* While in the spirit of its commercial life the
company was closely allied to the efforts for exploration and search for gold, morally
supported by Klizabeth in her feudal grants, in its organization, as well as in its pur-
pose, it resembled the private companies for trade based on ancient charters, and in its
development is to be understood only through a knowledge of both of these earlier
movements.

CHARACTER OF THE COMPANY 13
Thus in order to protect trade, but not for exploration and settlement, the ancient
charters granted to the Merchant Adventurers in 1407 and 1462, and particularly the
one of 1564, incorporated that company into a ‘* Body Politick.” The words of the
grant declared its purpose to be ‘‘for the good Government, Rule and Order of
the * * * Fellowship of Merchants Adventurers * * *, As also of all and
every other of the subject of our heirs * * * using the seate of Trade of the
suid Merchants Adventurers * * *.Ӣ This was ulso the object expressed in
the charter to the East India Company,’ although it contained an additional provi-
sion for the acquisition of lands by purchase. Monopoly of trade and powers of
government over factors, masters, or others in the employ of the company were
conferred, but the exemption from customs was to continue for only four years, and
the only settlements provided for were to have the form of factories. It had been
established as a regulated company, that is, one in which each individual invested his
own capital subject to the rules of the company; but in 1612 by increasing the
importance of the directors and investing sums for a limited period it became a
joint stock company.°
As a prototype of the companies later incorporated both for discovery and
trade, such as the Virginia Company, the Muscovy or Russian Company, known as
the ‘*‘ Merchant Adventurers of England for the discoveries of lands and territories
unknown,” was established in 1555 with a joint stock of £6,000. Sebastian Cabot
was appointed governor for life and with him was associated a board of directors of
+ consuls and 24 assistants. However, this company had also the rights of the compa-
nies for exploration—that is, those of conquest, of acquiring lands, and of seizing the
ships of any who should infringe on their monopoly of trade.¢ In 1583 a committee
from the Muscovy merchants drew up a set of resolutions concerning a conference
with M. Carlile upon his ‘‘ intended discoverie and attempt into the hithermost parts
of America,”’ which was not dissimilar to the plan of Sir Walter Raleigh, and hence
foreshadowed companies of the seventeenth century. It proposed to send forth
100 men for one year, providing £4,000 for the adventure, in order to gain a
“knowledge of the particular estate of the country and gather what commodity

14 INTRODUCTION
may hereafter be looked for.” Also, like the Virginia Company, it provided for a
joint stock consisting of two groups, one of ‘‘adventurers” and one of ‘‘ enterprisers,”
each to have one-half of the lands which should be divided among the members by
the generality, but all trade was to belong to the adventurers and the corporation was
to be closed after the first adventure. ‘The scheme differed from the sixteenth century
enterprises, which were especially intended for exploration, in that no question of
government was considered, but it conformed to the ideas of Gilbert and Raleigh
and of the trading companies, in that its rights over trade were to be purely
monopolistic.
Apparently this plan of the Muscovy Company stands as a connecting link
between the ideas of the explorer and those of the trader and the planter, a plan which
may be said to have been carried out by the Virginia Company. It is significant that
many of the members of the Virginia Company were men who had taken part in the
expeditions of the late sixteenth century and had been interested in certain private
voyages of exploration carried on during the five years preceding the receipt of its
first charter, while most of the leaders of this company were at the same time stock-
holders and even officers in the Muscovy Company, the Company of Merchant
Adventurers, the East India Company, and later of the Turkey, the Guinea, and
the African companies.
It is unnecessary to cite the charters of other companies or to search the history
of the trading corporations of the sixteenth century in order to show that the Virginia
Company was similar in character. But, like the Muscovy Company and the Kast
India Company, it was established to carry on trade in new and uninhabited lands,
and hence had the additional features of a company whose purpose was exploration
and plantation. The latter characteristic appears more especially in the charter, the
former in the instructions and correspondence of the entire period of its life. The
object of its first undertakers was doubtless to search for minerals and for a route to
the southwest, and to secure for trade the materials which were native and peculiar
to those regions. The plantation was a necessity for this purpose, and incidentally,
because of the character of the country, it was forced to become a colony. ‘To estab-
lish a settlement which should become a market for English goods, to advance the
shipping, to spread the religion of the Kingdom were doubtless motives which
aroused sympathy for the undertaking; but the arguments which brought investment
were the opportunities for gain.
The position of the Virginia Company in the development of English exploration
and trade was therefore important, and the study of its history is of value not only
for the light which it throws on Virginia itself but for an understanding of the
economic condition of England as well. Nor is this all. The few private records
which remain of the Merchant Adventurers Company and those of the East India

CHARACTDR OF THE COMPANY 15
Company correspond so closely in form and in subject-matter to the court book of
the Virginia Company that the similarity in form of organization and methods of
conducting business is established. The fact that the private records, the books
from which the knowledge of the actual financial transactions could be obtained,
are missing in most cases, may prove that their loss in the case of the early Virginia
Company is not duc to intentional destruction, but to the general opinion of the
period that such material was valucless.
The only other enterprise of which there is sufficient material for anything like an
exhaustive study is the East India Company, and hence its records combine with
those of the Virginia Company to supply a source of information concerning all of
these companies. ‘The conclusion seems valid, therefore, that the great mass of min-
utes, orders, instructions, letters, and memoranda of the company for Virginia will
aid in the interpretation of the comparatively few records of the earlier associations.
The records of this company are necessary to enable one to comprehend the life
of the other companies, as is its history to the understanding of their development.
It was during the life of the company that the plantation gradually assumed the
aspects of a colony, that the settlement which was originally planned for exploration
and the discovery of gold became a center for the development of the natural and
agricultural resources of the surrounding country. The origin within the colony
of the assembly, of local government, of private ownership of land, and of freedom
of trade is to be found before the dissolution of the company by the Crown. There-
fore the records of the company, as well as those of the colony, form the material
through which the history of the beginnings of English colonies, viewed from the
standpoint of the colonist, is to be gained.
Their value for the comprehension of the development of political institutions
in England is not so patent. The growing correspondence between the Crown and
the company and the interference in the acts of the company stand as evidence of
the gradual increase of the interest of the Crown or its council in the undertaking.
This interest was most apparent when the tobacco trade promised a revenue to the
Crown, but the encouragement of the growth of other staple products, the spasmodic
revival of acts touching English shipping and the balance of trade, and the main-
tenance of staple ports in England are all new activities appearing in the records of
the company. Throughout, also, is apparent the readiness to allow the already
uncertain economic policy to be altered or nullified by the political relations with
Spain, or because of moral or whimsical views.
The gradual definition of policy on the part of the Stuarts, perhaps first apparent
under Charles I, is closely connected with the leaders of the Virginia Company. The
opinions expreS“ed in the courts of the company by the adherents both of the Puritan
party and of the party of the Crown, the correspondence between the Privy Council

16 INTRODUOTION
and the company, the letters and memoranda concerning the company and its policy,
and the story of the formation of the Sandys and the Warwick factions, resulting in
the dissolution of the company, furnish evidence of the gradual development of the
despotic attitude of the Stuarts, especially in their reach for revenue and in their
repression of the principles of freedom, The appointment of the commissions to
investigate the affairs of the company and the condition of the colony, the creation
of a commission for the control of the colony after the overthrow of the charter, the
later appointment of a committee of the Privy Council for the same purpose are all
steps in the growth of a colonial system and of a colonial policy. Although the
maturity of this system and policy is not reached until after the Commonwealth, the
influence of the associates of James I and of Charles I is apparent.
Every phase of colonial development, from the mixed system which existed
under the patent of 1606 to the chartered proprietary company after 1609 and the
royal province after 1624, is here illustrated. The transition from the chartered
to the Royal Government in 1624, the prelude to ‘‘the most important transition in
American history previous to the colonial revolt,” is only to be understood from
these records, since the tendency to self-government in the colony is one of the
pretended reasons for the overthrow of the company. All the steps of the change
are to be traced in the royal correspondence, in the memoranda of the royal party,
and in the record of the suit under the writ of guo warranto. The significance of
such material is best understood from the fact that ‘‘the constitutional law and
practice of the old colonial system has not yet been attempted to be known,” and
as yet no book has been written concerning the forms or functions of the British
Government as employed in colonial administration.

2. Ohe Kerords of the Company under Sir
Chamas Smythe
THE ORGANIZATION OF THE COMPANY AS IN 1606
In the year preceding the grant of a charter to the Virginia Company there had
been movements along two lines for establishing plantations in Virginia, one by
private investment and the other by royal patronage. Examples of the private
interests are the enterprise of the Earl of Southampton in 1605 and that of Lord
Zouch as set forth in his contract? with Captain George Waymouth of October 30,
1605. In this Lord Zouch agreed to secure and provide two ships and 200 men of
‘Carts suitable for a colony,” and to pay £100 to Captain Waymouth for the trans-
portation of the same. The interesting feature is the agreement, suggestive of
feudal relations, that Lord Zouch should be the first officer and have the first choice
of land, while Captain Waymouth as second officer should have second choice of
land, which he was to hold from the former as lord paramount for himself, his
heirs and assigns. At the same time Sir John Popham was busily engaged in the
attempt to form royal colonies by obtaining charters from the Crown, whereby the
territory from 34° to 45° north latitude should be taken under the protection of
the King, and private settlements should thus be excluded.
The plan which obtained followed neither course, though it was bound to result
in « modification of Popham’s scheme. ‘The motives of the grantees and the
arguments which induced the King in 1606 to abandon the policy of Elizabeth and to
give royal patronage to the undertaking, and even to assume royal control, are set
forth in a petition presented to Parliament in 1606, entitled ‘* Reasons for raising a
publique stocke to be imploied in the discovering of such countries as may be found
most convenient * * * .”% It is evident, however, that the unknown plan of
investinent in the adventure of 1606 is not here suggested, since there was no intima-
tion of financial support by the King. ‘The stock was apparently to be raised by a
tax ‘‘ Upon the emoderate gaines of those that contrary to lawe abuse the poore,” and
was not in any way to be ‘‘raised upon the sweat of the poore or the industrie of the

husbandmen, Artificer, or tradisman,” but in such a way that nothing should ‘be
demanded from anie man without presente assurance of gaine and hope of future profit
* * * but in such sorte that the payer shall for every ij‘ paied gaine iiij*.” To the
Kingdom and to the Crown were to redound the greatest gain. Ten thousand pounds
a year were to be added to His Majesty’s receipts by an increase of many thousand
pounds in the imposts and customs; and furthermore it ‘‘ would savior too much of
affectacon of a popular State to levie monies without imparting some convenient
portion to his Majestie.” But the value to shipping was emphasized perhaps more
vigorously as developing a defence to the island, as furnishing a source for the
necessities for ships—cordage, pitch, tar, and resin—and as protecting the shipping -
from decay. The desirability of a revival of the declining export trade, as well as that
of establishing the importation of necessities from a part of the dominions, though
distant, was urged, together with the importance of strengthening by settlement
those countries already acquired by discovery. ‘That such undertakings by private
enterprise had been failures; that it was more honorable for the State to back an
exploitation by public consent than by private monopoly; that public colonies were
bound to be more obedient and industrious because of the greater confidence in the
character of the control, were all reasons which had long before been set forth
whereby to gain the support of the Crown.
CHARTER OF 1606.
The royal aid as finally obtained for a colonial enterprise came in a somewhat
different form. The letters patent to Sir Thomas Gates and others for plantations
to be made in Virginia? show that the investment was made solely by individuals,
and that the joint stock was not public, although in the regulation of affairs in
the colony the body of undertakers was to have little influence, even as far as its
commercial interests in the plantation were concerned. The business management
was left to the joint stock companies, and the magazine was controlled by a treasurer
or cape merchant and by two clerks elected by the President and Council in the
Colony. In fact, the only activity of the adventurers, so far as it is revealed in
the extant documents, consisted in the choice in London of one or more groups of
agents, called ‘* companies,” to manage tho goods sent out and received and to
look after the profits.¢ The undertakers were to have all lands with their resources

which lay within 50 miles of the plantation in any direction, together with the
islands within 100 miles of the coast, and were privileged to inhabit and fortify
the same according as the council for Virginia should direct. The right freely to
transport subjects was granted the investors, while they were permitted customs
free for soven years to export armor, provisions, and all necessities of life for the
colonists. ‘They could impose upon any subjects of the Crown, who were not
adventurers, trafficking in those regions, a tax of 24 per cent of the articles
concerned, and upon foreigners twice that amount, and thus maintain a control of
the trade for twenty-one years.
But the government of the colonies and of the territory of Virginia was
reserved to the Crown through the council of thirteen for Virginia, which was to be
appointed by the King and to reside in England. Instructions* were issued and
signed by the royal hand, which outlined the form of administering affairs in the
settlement and created a council of thirteen in the colony. ‘They conferred upon it
the right to coin money and to pass ordinances which should be valid till altered by
the Crown, provided that they should be consonant with the laws of England. This
council in Virginia was to choose its own president for one year. It could remove
him or any member for just cause and fill the vacancies. All civil causes and all
lesser criminal cases were to be decided by the president and council, the former
having two votes in case of a tie. Cases of manslaughter and the more heinous
crimes were to be tried before a jury and were punishable with death. To the
president and council was reserved the right of pardon.
The council in England nominated to the Crown the persons to whom lands
were to be granted by the King. It had, in fact, the supervision of affairs,
appointed the first council in Virginia, issued orders for the conduct of the first
expedition under Captain Newport,? and provided a paper of advice* as to the
establishment of a fort and of a town.
It is in this latter document that the first indication of the real motive of
the undertaking is found. The orders laid down were to ‘‘make choice” of
toe river ‘‘ which bendeth most toward the North-West, for that way you shall
soonest find the other sea,” while the choice of a healthy location, wise inter-
course with the natives, and the fortification and preparation of a single settle-
‘ment were emphasized. The chief objects, however, were to plant in a place

which should be fitted ‘‘ to receive the trade of all the countries about,” to dis-
cover minerals, and to find the passage to the western sea.
The loss of the records, both of the council and of the “companies” for trade,
covering this period, leaves, as the only source of information, both for affairs in
England and in Virginia, the narratives of the early settlers. Of these the most
important are the reports of Captain Newport, and the relations of John Smith, of
Edward Maria Wingfield, and of George Percy.“ The council had dispatched three
expeditions, all under Captain Newport; one in December, 1606, in three ships
with 120 emigrants; another in October, 1607, with two vessels and about the same
number of passengers; and a third in August of 1608 with about 70 emigrants.
The reports of Newport, Percy, Wingfield, and Smith encouraged the managers
of the enterprise to continue their efforts, but proved that a change in object as well
as in policy would be necessary. From Newport came descriptions of the fruitful-
ness of the soil, of the quantities of fish and of timber, and of clay for making brick,
and enumerations of the possible exports, comprising sturgeon, clapboard, wainscot,
saxafrage, tobacco, dyes, furs, pitch, resin, turpentine, oils, wines, wood and soap
ashes, iron, copper, pearls; but the reports as to the mines were vague. He
declared that the country was rich in gold and copper, and took home with him earth
to be assayed, while Smith, in A Zrue Pelation, states that he had been left to dig a
rock which Captain Newport thought was a mine, but no mention of results is made.
The full description of the country by Newport and also by Captain John Smith
gave the council a clear idea of its geography, as is indicated by the instructions to
Sir Thomas Gates in 1609. But the expedition, which penetrated to a distance of 160
miles up the river, brought the explorers to hostile tribes and left the council still
uncertain, though hopeful of the discovery of a passage to the south sea. Further-
more, Captain Newport positively stated that there could be no commerce with the
Indians, and all evidence shows that the natives were to be a resource for the neces-
sities of life rather than for the exchange of lucrative objects of trade. Hence it is
that the broadside which was issued by the company in 1609,? as an incident of its

UNDER SIR THOMAS SMYTHD o1
attempt to secure capital for the undertaking in its new form, emphasized the rich-
ness of the soil and the resources of the country—which in later years would yield
abundant return—the value of the settlement as a market for English cloths, and the
advantage to shipping and shipbuilding which would come from colonization.
But the effort to develop the resources of the country and to found a settlement
for such purposes rather than for exploration required larger investments and more
men. Then, too, the regulation of the affairs of the colony without any control
from the council in England meant continued jealousies and quarrels among such a
small number of colonists and under such unsettled conditions. According to
Wingfield the provisions for defense seem to have been insufficient, the magazine
was mismanaged, and the relations with the Indians were strained. To John Smith
must be attributed the wisdom of foreseeing the necessity of strong support from
England and of the establishment of permanent colonial settlements and the develop-
ment of the country for self-support.¢
THE CHANGE IN CHARACTER FROM 1606 To 1609
The fact that the source of authority before 1609 was in the Crown is
nowhere so clearly evidenced as in the records themselves. ‘The fundamental
documents emanated from the King and his Council or from the council for
Virginia representing the royal authority, all instructions to officers bore the
sign manual and all letters and reports from Captain Newport, from Edward-
Maria Wingfield, and from his associates were addressed to the council for Virginia.
Furthermore, the president and council appeared in the name of the Crown as the
plaintiffs in a suit by which an attempt was made to enforce the contract with the
master of the ‘‘Guift of God” for supplying provisions to the passengers in a
voyage to North Virginia.? The direct relations of the planters to the Crown are
similarly emphasized by two heretofore unpublished documents, which are in the
Library of Congress, consisting of the oaths administered to the colonists and
to the secretary of the colony.¢
The commercial status of the undertaking is more difficult to determine than the
political. That the company was organized for the purpose of exploration and trade
has been proved, but whether the control of trade was vested in the council or in
companies or groups of undertakers is uncertain. The exact relation of the council
to the plantation and of the Crown to the enterprise must have been stated in the

22 INTRODUOTION
court book, in which were kept the records of the acts of the council and
perhaps of the companies for the administration of trade. This book, covering
the period from the 28th of January, 1606, to the 14th of February, 1615, was in
the possession of the company as late as 1623, but unfortunately no trace of the
book has yet been discovered and even its existence has heretofore been unknown.
Whatever may have been the source of control, the narrations of Captain
Percy, Kdward-Maria Wingfield, and Captain Newport indicate that the busineys of
the company consisted chiefly in raising funds and equipping expeditions to be sent
to Virginia under Captain Newport. This failure of the investment to bring in
returns of gold and silver and of articles for trade, or to accomplish anything in
the way of discovery of trade routes to the East Indies during the first three years,
served to convince both King and undertakers that a change in method of control
was essential. The document known as ‘‘ Reasons against publishing the Kings
title to Virginia. A justification for planting Virginia”? seems to show an agitation
among the investors arising from fear lest the desire to placate Spain, or religious
considerations, might lead the Crown to abandon the scheme. The arguments there
adduced may well explain the readiness of the King to surrender not only the com-
mercial and territorial control but also full rights of government to the corporate
body of the Virginia company, and thus to avoid any rupture with Spain. Certain
it is that the desire for more direct authority and for securing larger investments
were the motives of the petitioners in asking for a new charter.
As a result of this movement the letters patent of 1609 were issued, transform-
ing the undertakers into a body politic. In this case also the documents are
especially characteristic of the organization. Whereas the Crown was formerly the
source of all power, beginning with 1609 the council of the company, acting as a
standing committee for the adventurers rather than in the name of the King,
exercised the controlling authority. After the charter of 1612 had provided for
more frequent meetings of the generality, the council was gradually superseded by
special committees and the tendency arose to decide all matters of importance in
the general quarter courts and to insist upon all communications being addressed
to the company rather than to the council. The act of incorporation erected a
commercial company and made it the overlord of a proprietary province. It at
once strengthened its plantation as x center for traflic and established a system for
joint management of land and trade to extend over a period of seven years, prom-
@When the Privy Council demanded the records of the company, a receipt bearing the date April
21, 1623, was given to the secretary of the company for the ‘‘several court books.’’ This document
was discovered by the Iditor among the Ferrar papers, Magdalene College, Cambridge, in December,
1903. See List of Records, p. 171, No. 470.
®This doc,“.nent was recently found by the Editor in the Bodleian Library. Jbid., p. 121, No. 1.

ising dividends to the adventurer and support to the planter. The records of the
corporation reveal as clearly as do its broadsides and pamphlets that it was a business
venture. These records may be grouped into seven classes.@
Tue Criasses OF RECORDS
I. The fundamental documents of the company were those by virtue of which
it had its legal formation, and consisted of the letters patent, charters, and orders
in council issued by the King and Privy Council.
II. The activity of the adventurers was recorded in the court books, which com-
prised the minutes of the transactions of the company. In those books were kept
the discussions and decisions with regard to the plantation, the granting of land,
and all financial policies and plans for developing the enterprise and increasing the
income.
III. In carrying on its business the company gave commissions to the governors
of the colony, issued regulations for the settlers, and, from time to time, sent
instructions to the goyernor and council of the colony. It also granted lands and
patents, entered into contracts, issued receipts, made pleas in court, and kept
statements of accounts.
IV. From the colony itself came reports, declarations, letters, and complaints.
They were an essential part of the records of the company and often determined its
course of action.
V. To the public, for the purpose of inspiring confidence, securing adventurers,
and maintaining the interest and support of its members, as well as of defending
itself against the accusations of its enemies, the company issued advertisements,
broadsides of its shipping investments, declarations, pamphlets, and sermons.
VI. A large part of the information which came to the company was derived
from private correspondence between members of the company and individual plant-
ers. Furthermore, there was a gradual tendency to permit individuals or groups of
individuals of the company to form stock companies for trade or plantation, and
records of these transactions formed a valuable supplement to those of the company
itself,
VII. To the student of history another group of supplementary material is of
great value. It comes from the records of contemporary companies, corporations,
and towns, as well as from the correspondence of officers of state or of other persons
who were not directly concerned in the transactions of the Virginia Company.
4For the documents in these various classes, see the classifications by Roman numerals at the
left of each entry under the ‘‘ List of Records,’’ post, pp. 121-205.

24 INTRODUOTION
All of these records of the company for the period previous to 1616, so far as
they were known to him, were collected and reprinted in full or cited, if already
available in America, by Alexander Brown, in the year 1890.4
I.— FUNDAMENTAL DOCUMENTS
As far as appears from the evidence of the extant documents, when by the
charters of 1609 and 1612, James I surrendered to the company full rights of trade, as
well as territorial and governmental rights in Virginia he apparently lost all interest
and part in the undertaking, and it was only when the plantation had developed into
the colony, and when at the expiration of the privileges of free importation in 1619,
the business of the corporation had become so good as to offer a prospect of revenue
that the King in his council began to interfere in the affairs of the company.’ In
16138, under the administration of Sir Thomas Smythe, the adventurers were com-
pelled to appeal to the Crown because of the complications with France which arose
from the expedition of Sir Samuel Argall along the northern coasts of America,°
while a similar relation was brought about by the controversy with Spain with regard
to the attack on Spanish vessels by the ship Zreasurer in 1619.“ In both instances
the protection desired was granted. When the financial stringency forced the adven-
turers to grent efforts in 1614, and they appealed unsuccessfully to Parliament for
aid, the Privy Council attempted to arouse confidence in the undertaking throughout
the country. It passed orders urging the city companies of London to invest sums
in the Virginia lottery, and in the following year it addressed similar orders to the
‘*Severa] Cityes and Townes of the Kingdome,”’ with special letters to the lieu-
tenants of County Surrey’
But the aid thus secured was not such as to draw upon the resources of the Crown,
and the attempt of members of the company to gain a monopoly of the tobacco trade
in 1616 met with the same opposition as had similar efforts on the part of the
merchant adventurers in previous years. On the other hand the company was com-

the United States, most of which have recently been discovered, see List of the Records of the Virginia
Company, post, pp. 121-125, Nos. 1-38.
6Tn March, 1619, Abraham and John Jacobs received a grant for the collection of customs or
imports on tobacco, This became an important feature of the business of the company in its later
procedure. See List of Records, pp. 127, 129, Nos. 53, 73.

UNDDR SIR THOMAS SMYTH 25
pelled against its will to submit to the treatment of its plantation as a penal colony
by James I in his spasmodic efforts to develop a policy which should save England
from an overpopulation of vagabonds.¢
With the exception of these unimportant relations with the Crown, the company
seems to have conducted its business independently of royal aid or interference dur-
ing the first decade of its existence as a corporate body.
II.—THE COURT BOOK
It is therefore in the court book of the company and in its instructions, corre-
spondence, and other records suggested under the preceding classifications II and III,
that its activity and methods must be found. That court books were kept under
the administration of Sir Thomas Smythe is known from the receipt in the Ferrar
papers, already referred to. The first book extended from January 28, 1606, to
February 14, 1615, and with it were ‘‘other perticuler writings belonging to the
company.” ‘The second included the period between January 31, 1615, and July 28,
1619. What these books contained can only be surmised from the scope of the two
later volumes, dated April 28, 1619, to May 22, 1622, and May 20, 1622, to April
2, 1623, the contemporary copies of which are now extant and in the Library of
Congress, at Washington.’ The contents of the ‘‘other perticuler writings,” none
of which are now known to be extant, are suggested by a memorandum of Sir
Nathaniel Rich in a document among the Manchester papers. In attempting to
prove the good done during Sir Thomas Smythe’s administration Rich cites certain
records as authority. The first one mentioned was a ‘*‘booke of perticulers” con-
taining the ‘‘Public workes: done in S" T. Smithes tyme”, and showing ‘‘the
plenty of Armes &c left in S* Th. Smithes tyme”; the second was a ‘‘pticular
already deliuered to the Com™.” in which appeared the ‘‘ Staple Comodityes raysed
in St T. Smithes tyme”; while the third formed a ‘‘collet of the publiq, workes
made by S™ Sa. Argall w*" be [comenset]” and was entitled ‘‘The pticulars of
the Boates”. Rich mentions two documents contained in this volume. He states
«There is a series of 14 orders of the Privy Council for the transportation of prisoners to Virginia
in the years 1617 and 1618 not hitherto noted. List of Records, pp. 121-131, Nos. 4, 41, 65, 90. The
transportation thus effected is mentioned by Miss KE. M. Leonard, The Marly History of the English
Poor Relief, pp. 229-280, n.
b This receipt covered these four volumes, ‘‘the other perticuler writings belonging to the
company,’’ and two volumes of the court book of the Somers Islands Company, December 3, 1613, to
January 24, 1620, and February 7, 1620, to. February 19, 1622. However, the second volume of the
court book, which is now in the Library of Congress—the fourth yolume here mentioned—was
continued until June 19, 1624, after the return of the records to the company,

26 INTRODUOTION
that pages ‘11, 12, 13, 14, 15, &c.,” contain the ‘“‘ League of the Natiues,” and
that on pages 51 to 59 was ‘‘Sir T. Dales tre.” In his notes for discussion Rich also
refers to ‘‘The Courte Bookes,” and further declares that ‘‘ Wrott remembers 4
watrants” by which lotteries were erected under the hands of the ‘‘Counsell of
Virginia”. In connection with the lottery he cites ‘‘th’ Accompts” of Gabnell and
declares that ‘‘He kept Tables”.¢ Thus the discovery by the Editor of these two
documents in these two similar collections belonging to the hostile factions has proved
that the company possessed record books; but a knowledge of their contents must be
gained from other sources.
To supply the loss of these documents of the company, both during the control
of the council and after that control had passed into the hands of the company by
virtue of the charter of 1612, there is a considerable mass of material, which affords
a fair outline of the transactions of the company and the life of the colony. But
much of this information is lacking in the completeness and authenticity which
would have been supplied by the court book and the other records. The greatest
loss is perhaps that of definite knowledge concerning the financial status of the
company. The sums adventured by individuals and corporations is preserved in
two alphabetical lists; but, so far as is known, only one of these lists is official, and
that includes the names of the particular adventure about the year 1610.2 The other
is an unpublished list apparently both incomplete and unofficial, and was probably
made somewhat later than 1618 at the order of the court,’ although the date 1618
has been assigned to it in the Manchester papers, where it is to be found. From
the records of the various London companies and from records of English towns,
as also from adventures sealed to individuals by the Virginia Company, comes the
most authentic information concerning the large sums invested during this decade.
In a similar way the knowledge, otherwise to be found in the court book and ‘‘The
pticulers of the Boates,” concerning the ships dispatched and the sums expended for
the equipment of planters, individuals, and companies, is scattering and indefinite.
The broadsides issued are calls for adventurers, planters, and colonists, with the
requirements or statements concerning the lottery schemes; but they do not furnish
the wide information which is found in those of the later period. So far as revenue
is concerned, there was probably little except that which came from new adventurers

and the lotteries, but we have no way of knowing even that resource, while our
knowledge of the income from tobacco and commodities brought from Virginia is
derived from three or four scattering receipts only, found mostly among the papers
of the Earl of De La Warr and of Lord Sackville.
Kven our knowledge as to the economic condition of the colony is most
indefinite and comes only from printed pamphlets issued by the company. Judging
from the sources of information in the later period, this uncertainty is due to the
disappearance of the letters themselves, since, after 1619, the published relations of
individual planters, the declarations by the company, and even the records of the
court books are all more general in character than the letters which were sent from
the colony to the company. Furthermore, in the later period the daily acts of the
colonists and their needs, as reported from time to time by returning ships, afforded
the adventurers a body of information concerning the social condition of the colony
which in form and accuracy left little to be desired. After the time of Captain John
Smith not much was accurately known of the colony until the year 1617, when
Captain John Rolfe and Ralph Hamor supplied statistics as to the numbers, condi-
tion, settlements, and resources of the colony as it then was.
The individual enterprises of this decade in the life of the company are
altogether unknown, except from a few contracts for shipping found here and
there. Such movements must at least have been noted in the court book. Of the
first ‘‘hundred,” established in 1618, nothing is recorded except the single report,
heretofore unknown,’ of a meeting of the committee for Smythes Hundred. But
the greatest loss which we suffer through the disappearance of the court book is
that of material which should throw light on the aims, motives, and unsuccessful
efforts of the company and on the struggles and difficulties through which it passed.
For example, there is a single reference to an attempt to found a college, but no infor-
mation whatever on the subject. The factions which developed and which resulted
finally in the dissolution of the company evidently existed in this period, for a letter
from Chamberlain to Carleton, dated May 8, 1619,¢ in which he speaks of the failure
to reelect Sir Thomas Smythe as treasurer of the Virginia Company as having
been ‘somewhat bettered at a later meeting of the Summers Island Company by his
choice as treasurer of that company,” proves that the change was due to factional
differences, although the extant court books open with the refusal of Sir Thomas
Smythe to continue as treasurer. Similarly, the choice of officers for the company,
the votes received by each candidate, the appointments to positions in the colony,

28 INTRODUCTION
the petitions to the company and its action thereupon, and numerous other acts,
revealing the relations and attitude of the individual members, are all unknown.
III.—DOCUMENTS ISSUED BY THE COMPANY
Of the official documents issued by the company during the decade from 1609 to
1619 the most important have been unknown up to this time. They include the
first instructions ever given to a governor of acolony by an English administrative
body, and the records of the first suits entered by the company in chancery for the
purpose of enforcing the payments of sums adventured in the company and of
securing a part of the income from the lottery, which the company claimed had been
withheld by the agent, William Leveson.?
The knowledge which the administrators of the affairs of the company had
gained from the early settlers, and their grasp of the necessities for exploration, for
trade, and for the conduct of affairs in the plantation, has hitherto been a matter of
surmise based on the relations of the planters. From the ‘‘Instrucéons, orders,
and constituéons to Sir Thomas Gates,” ° in May, 1609, and a similar document
given to ‘‘Sir Thos. West Knight Lo:Lawarr”? in 1609 or 1610 comes a revelation
of the motives of the adventurers, as well as of the policy adopted and of the
methods outlined for the prosecution of their efforts. These instructions to Gates
and De La Warr afforded the authority for the termination of the previous govern-
ment in Virginia, the stated ideas of the company as to locations for settlements,
forts, and magazines, and concerning journeys inland. It also included an interesting
reference to Raleigh’s colonists. The general policy in administering the affairs of
the colonists and the detailed orders as to the relations with the Indians, as far as
they concern guards, trade, and treaties, and the daily life of the inhabitants, indicate
a definiteness in the control of the company which formerly was not understood.
In such a revelation of the knowledge of the country and of the natives there is a
“Scattering information of such a character concerning this period appears in the discussions
and quarrels recorded in the later court books.
bList of Records, pp. 123-124, Nos. 20, 21, 22, 24, 25, 26, 27, 28, 29, 31.
There are three cases recorded in the chancery proceedings in which the company attempted to
enforce the payment of adventured sums. The bill of complaint is identical in each case, with the
exception of the names of the defendant and the sums they underwrote. The bill, dated April 28,
1613, against Sir Henry Nevile, Sir Henry Carye, and eighteen others is printed in Brown’s Genesis of
the United States, 11, pp. 623-631, from a copy found among the Smyth of Nibley papers. It differs
slightly in orthography only from the original record. The five recorded answers supply even more
valuable information than the bills of complaints.

basis for belief that the affairs of the company were managed and its records were
kept in a systematic and businesslike way. i
The company had become convinced that the policy of John Smith was a wise
one, and hence it ordered that a number of plantations should be settled and that
efforts should be immediately directed to building healthful and sufficient houses and
to planting widely cnough for the self-support of the community. Here was the
germ which was to develop into the colony, but the plan was as yet by no means
so far-reaching. A common store, a common magazine, common refectories, labor
by groups with a superintendent for each five or six persons, the prohibition of
trade with the Indians except through the truck merchant were economic methods
which looked to the gain of the adventurer in London rather than to the develop-
ment of a colonial settlement. When the settlers had become self-supporting and
capable of defense, then measures were to be taken to provide returns, so ‘‘ that our
fleetes come not home empty.” Discovery of the seas and of royal mines, exchange
of commodities, the exaction of tribute, and the development of the resources of
the country for the purpose of securing ‘‘ wines, pitche, Tarre, sope-ashes, Steele,
Iron, Pipestaues, hempe, flaxe,” silk grass, fishing for pearls, cod, and sturgeon were
to be the sources of revenue. The instructions placed authority implicitly in the
hands of the governor, who was expected to hear, but not necessarily to heed, the
advice of the council and to judge according to ‘‘naturall right and equity then
vppon the nicenes of the lawe.”
The agents of the corporation—the governor and his council in Virginia—received
their authorization for the exercise of judicial as well as legislative powers through
a commission. The one issued to Sir Thomas Gates is lost, but doubtless is as similar
to that given to Lord La Warr? as are his instructions. With the exception of a set
of ‘‘Instructions for such things as are to be sente from Virginia, 1610,”° these
orders and commissions are the only documents which show anything of the direct
authority exercised by the company over affairs in the plantation until the issue of
the ‘‘Great Charter of privileges, orders, and Lawes” in November, 1618.4
Otherwise, the whole course of the activity of the company under Sir Thomas
Smythe was in strong contrast with the work of Sir Edwin Sandys. It was a con-

30 INTRODUCTION
tinual struggle to arouse such interest in the scheme as would result in investment.
The problem of marketing the products of the colony, which concerned the later
company, did not arise until toward the close of the period, when a single unsuccessful
effort was made to gain a monopoly of the sale of tobacco. In order to increase the
capital stock, the company made personal appeals and issued printed statements and
descriptions which it scattered broadly. ‘The story is told in the lists of adventurers
cited above, in the earnest endeavors to secure new planters and new adventures from
individual town and guild, in the efforts to enforce the payment of ‘sums already
adventured, in a few receipts concerning tobacco, in the lottery schemes, which were
legalized by the charter of 1612, and in printed broadsides and declarations. Thus the
sums adventured by individuals, by the various London companies, and by the towns
of England are given in a series of requests for adventure and in bills of adventure?
issued by the company and found in the records of those companies and towns? as
also in private collections. The chancery proceedings, in three suits, state that the
company attempted to secure an adventure of £18,000 and the equipment of 600
men during the year 1611, and the failure to accomplish its purpose was set forth by
the defendants as a reason for refusing to pay the sums adventured. Incidentally
there was mentioned an income in the year 1613 of £8,000 from the lottery, of
£2,000 from the sale of the Somers Islands, and of £600 or £800 from the disposal
of the ship De La Warr.¢ However, with the exception of an unpublished letter
from Sandys to the mayor of Sandwich? concerning the adventure by that town, in
which he inclosed a list of the subscribers to that particular adventure, with the sums
set down by each,? the official records reveal but little as to the sums which must
have been received by the company.
In a similar manner there are unauthentic records of economic value concerning
the lotteries and the importation of tobacco. Of the latter a few receipts and mem-
oranda among the papers of Lord Sackville’ and the Karl De La Warr? are positively

all there is in existence relating to the origin of a trade which was estimated in 1619
to be worth £100,000. Of the former, there is a ‘* Declaration for the Lottery,”
published in 1615 by the company, and an order of the Privy Council, together with
letters urging the towns of the Kingdom to adventure in this the second great lottery
of the company.® A letter from the governor of the Virginia Company to the
mayor and aldormon of Ipswich? is to the same effect, but none of these documents
tell of the income therefrom. The only record which will give an idea of the value
of the first lottery is in the chancery proceedings, and relates to a suit of the
company with William Leveson to secure moneys from the lottery,’ in which the
sum received in 1618 is here stated to have been £2,793 and 10 shillings. The
answer of Leveson is of further interest in that it alone tells of the methods by
which the business was conducted and of the house built for the lottery west of St.
Paul’s Church.
V.—PUBLICATIONS OF THE COMPANY 4
The struggle for capital and for settlers before 1616 is most apparent from the
advertisements that were issued. The broadsides of the years 1609, 1610, and 1611
are printed as official declarations of an intention on the part of the company to send
voyages to Virginia, and contain the necessary information as to the classes of
emigrants wanted—artificers only—and the conditions and rewards for emigration.
The broadside of February, 1611, is of most value, in that the classes of emigrants
with the numbers of each desired are specified, while that of 1610 is a defense
against the slander of recently returned colonists, and emphasizes the former need
of artificers as colonists. The broadsides of 1613 and 1615 concern the drawing of
the lotteries, the latter declaring in a general way the prosperous condition of the
country and announcing the prizes and rewards, thus affording some conception
of the sums received from such an enterprise.’ ‘The publications of the year 1616
disclose, as well as assert, the prosperity of the settlement and the assurance of its
success, though giving no statistical information. That of April arranges for the
first division of lands among old adventurers and promises the same to new adven-

82 INTRODUOTION
turers, declaring the intention to send a new governor and surveyors to the colony
for the purpose, while that of the winter of the same year announces that any
settlers may return to England who will.
In addition to the advertisements for investment and adventure, both of person
and of money, the company put forth a series of publications, consisting of four
sermons preached before the company at stated intervals, intended to arouse both
interest and confidence in their undertaking. These afford but little if any definite
information, but reveal the spirit of the times, as also the lines of criticism and
resistance which the company had continually to meet.?
But of far greater importance to a comprehension of the attitude of the com-
pany, and especially of the progress of the plantation, are the declarations concern-
ing the colony, which were published by the company.’ They are nine in number,
and bear the following titles and dates:
(1) Nova Britannia. London, 1609.
(2) Virginia richly valued. London, April 15, 1609.
(8) A True and sincere declaration of the purpose and ends of the Plantation,
‘*by the authority of the Governor and Councellors of the Plantation.”
London, 1610. [December 14, 1609.]
(4) Nevves from Virginia—a poem. 1610.
(5) A True declaration of the estate of the colony of Virginia, by the order of
the ‘‘Councell of Virginia.” London, 1610.
(6) De La Warr’s Relation. London, July 6, 1611, with Crashaw’s Epistle
Dedicatorie as a preface.
(7) The New life of Virginea—second part of Noua Britannia, by ‘‘ the Coun-
sell of Virginea.” London, May 1, 1612.
(8) Good Newes from Virginia, by Whittaker. London, 1613.
(9) A booke called an narracon of the present State of Virginia by Ralph
Hammer. London, 1615.
The documents published in 1609 and also the poem of 1610 were efforts on the
part of the company to defend itself against charges of failure in earlier years and to
reveal the advantages which were promised under the new system of government.
This is distinctly the tone and motive of the Vova Sritannia, in which appear argu-

ments in favor of the colony, and the statements of the plans, resources, and needs
of the colony, together with an outline of the government which was now to be
administered.
A True and sincere declaration further explains the unsatisfactory condition
of the colony by reference to the incompetence of previous governors, furnishing
perhaps the best historical narrative which was issued by the company during the
first period of the plantation. It also holds out the promise of improved conditions
under Gates and De La Warr, who are to be shortly sent to Virginia with a complete
outfit of men and provisions. The second document describes the southern part of
the country and cites the advantages of Florida as evidence of the opportunities
in Virginia. After the time of De La Warr the published accounts of the plans,
movements, and successes of the colonists became more complete. While the state-
ments of De La Warr in his felation are a bare outline of the conditions as he
found them and the improvements in trade and discovery to which Captain Argall
had contributed, together with his lordship’s plans for the future, it is of value
as forming, with Hamor’s narrative four years later, a surprisingly accurate and
satisfactory treatment of the development in the colony during those years.
Hamor givesa clear statement of the methods and success of Captain Dale in his
relations with the Indians, of his organization and reform of the colony, and of his
establishment of order therein, and reveals clearly the state of affairs on the arrival
of Gates, the cause of the failure heretofore, and the details of the building of the
successive towns, with descriptions and statistics for each. He gives also an his-
torical narrative of the relations with the various Indian tribes and his knowledge
and statements concerning the resources of the country are equally satisfactory.
While Whittaker’s Good Newes from Virginia and The New Life of Virginea are
of value as corroborative evidence, they add but little to the knowledge of condi-
tions or resources, and evidently were written more in the spirit of the poem of
1610, being intended to inspire confidence in the management of the colony, in the
new system, and in the officers installed, as well as to arouse enthusiasm in the
project.
It is evident that these publications are of more direct value in the study of
the progress of the colony and tell at first hand but little more than the methods
employed by the company to gain its end, but, together with the other reports
from the colony which are preserved in manuscript form, they to an extent supply
what has been lost by the disappearance of the court book. They prove that there
was a gradual change in the motive and means of the company, due entirely to
the exigencies of the case. The failure to discover precious metals forced the

34 INTRODUCTION
company to concern itself with the development of the resources of the country and
with the production of staple articles which were needed in England. Then, too,
the first written laws promulgated by Gates, De La Warr, and Dale in 1610-1612,
martial in form and harsh in character, reveal the type of the plantation which the
company now proposed; the freedom of the individual was to be reduced to a
minimum, all labor was to be regulated as if it were a military discipline and
the produce was to belong to the common store. Thus the evils of the early
settlement were to be avoided. But of necessity this plan was temporary. Argall,
like Smith, was a good colonizer. The explorations of Smith and his trade with the
Indians, together with the order and prosperity which were brought by Dale, resulted
in the founding of various settlements, such as Henrieo and others farther south,
which became self-supporting and independent of the ‘‘supplies” from England.
This meant that the company was to be forced to assume a different attitude toward
the colony; that the common labor, common store, and common trade must be
abandoned. By 1614 private lands had been given to a few inhabitants, every family
had been assured of a house of four rooms, rent free, for one year, and women had
been sent to the colony to aid in keeping the settlers contented and permanent.
Whether the company made any resistance to this development within the set-
tlement, by which the adventurer in London must share the profit with the planter,
will only be known when the court book shall have been discovered, but it is certain
that by 1616 the point of view of the leaders of the company had changed. They
had then come to realize that they were to be the middlemen for the marketing of
the produce of the planters. This is proved by the movement in 1616 for the
monopoly of the importation of the only lucrative staple, tobacco. Again, in 1619,
when the time for free importation from the plantation had expired, they most
eagerly sought an adjustment with the Crown, although, in 1614, Sir Edwin Sandys,
by this time the leading spirit in the company, had been the chairman in the House
committee which reported against monopolies.
To such an extent had the colony now grown that the instructions given to Sir
George Yeardley in November, 1618, called ‘‘The Great Charter of privileges, orders,
and Lawes,” recognized the necessity for local government. They provided for two
houses, the ‘‘Council of State,” to be chosen by the company in its quarter court,
and the general assembly, to consist ‘‘of the Council of State and two Burgesses
“For the Colony of Virginea Britannia, Lawes Divine, Morall and Martiall, &c., entered for publica-
tion on December 13, 1611, is a code first established by Sir Thomas Gates, May 24, 1610, approved by
the lord governor, June 12, 1610, and exemplified and enlarged by Sir Thomas Dale, June 22, 1613.

UNDER SIR THOMAS SMYTHE 35
chosen out of each Town Hundred or other particular Plantation.”* The great dif-
ference between this act of the company and that of nine years before, when the
instructions to Gates were issued and the laws of Dale were approved, is apparent.
Whether it was due entirely to the necessities arising from the changed conditions
in the colony heretofore noted or to the abuse of power by Samuel Arguall, from 1616
to 1619, is uncertain.? Whether it was but a reflection of the growing popular senti-
ment within the company by which the generality exercised the powers of adminis-
tration or whether it was due to the influence of the ‘‘opposition” in parliament can
not be settled without fuller records than are at present extant.
IV.—LETTERS FROM THE PLANTERS AND RECORDS OF THE COLONY
The printed reports from the coJonists and the printed declarations of the company
were of course based on the letters from the planters and on those from the governor
and council of Virginia tothe Virginia Company. There were also letters from indi-
viduals in the colony to officers of the company or to other adventurers in England.
They may perhaps reveal more clearly the condition of affairs in the colony and the
influences which moved the company in its change of policy, since they do not attempt
to conceal, excuse, or palliate any of the circumstances. Six of these narrate the
story of the voyage of Gates and Somers, the misery in the plantation on the arrival
of Gates and of De La Warr in 1610, and the steps that were taken to improve con-
ditions.“ Through other letters from the colony the company gained its knowledge
respecting voyages to Virginia, progress and order in the colony, and the building of
Jamestown,? especially under Sir Thomas Dale, and as to the prosperity of the settlers.
Dale in 1611, outlined his plans and his achievements, urged the sending of 2,000 men,
and suggested that the difficulty of securing planters might be overcome by making
the settlement a penal colony. In 1615, 1616, and 1617 the company received
reassurances from Dale, Hamor, and Rolfe of the prosperity of the colony; but the
publications of the company and the letters from the colony from 1615 to 1618 were
@List of Records, p. 129, No. 72.
>There are extracts from two letters dealing with the alleged misappropriations and abuse of power
by Captain Argall, deputy governor from May, 1617, to April 20, 1619. One of these was addressed to
Captain Argull and bears the date August 22, 1618; the other to Lord De La Warr, August 23, 1618.
They are preserved in the court book of the company under the date of June 19, 1622. See also
Ibid., Nos. 82, 83.
¢ These letters were from the governor and council, July 7, 1610; from John Radcliffe, October 4,
1609, Gabriel Archer, August 31, 1609, and from Captain Somers and Lord La Warr, August, 1610, to
the Earl of Salisbury; and from William Strachey in A True Repertory, July 15, 1610. They are
reprinted in Brown, Genesis, I, 328-382, 400-402, 402-413, 416-417.

86 INTRODUCTION
either very few in number, or have not been preserved. These were the years of the
excessive abuses in the colony under Sir Samuel Argall.¢
The only evidence of records kept by the colonists is an abstract of ‘‘ A Register
book during the Goim' of Sam! Argall Esq’ admiral, and for y® time p®sent, prin
cipal Gout of Virg*” in the year 1618. This abstract was probably made in 1730
under the direction of R. Hickman, deputy clerk of the general court of Virginia
at that time, and has heretofore been unnoticed. From it comes a knowledge of
correspondence between the governor and Bermuda Hundred and Kicoughtan, and
between the governor and the company in London. A complaint of the largeness of
privilege given to Captain Martin in his grant is significant because of the long con-
test during later years, between the company and Captain Martin over this patent.
There are, too, a number of commissions to officers for trade and for command, and
several warrants, edicts, and proclamations. These are very similar in character to
those issued by the governor and council in 1623, and reveal the fact that methods
of government had not altered materially, though the source of authority had been
changed by the great charter of 1618. The severity of penalty and the threats of
reduction to slavery for offense are perhaps the features most characteristic of the
period.?
VI.—PRIVATE PAPERS OF ADVENTURERS
While the company probably did not officially use the private correspondence
received from the colony by individual adventurers, it doubtless profited by the
information which it contained. Thus, the relation of John Rolfe,’ addressed to
Lord Rich and the King in 1616, ranked in value with the descriptions of Ralph
Hamor, for it discussed the water supply of the colony, its food, clothing, houses, and
government and gave statistical information as to the various towns, their location,
the number of their inhabitants, and their officers. There are at least six other
letters extant, similar in character, though of less value.¢
But another series of private papers partakes most strongly of the nature of
documents of the company. These are the contracts and correspondence relating

— UNDHR SIR THOMAS SMYTHD 37
to individual adventures to Virginia or to groups of adventurers. They indicate
a tendency in the company to grant private monopolies and to encourage private
settlements—measures which indicate the growing importance of the undertaking
and the deyelopment of individual trade. Only one series of documents relating to
individual adventures is extant, those by which Lord Zouch’s investment in Virginia
was secured to him. His contracts were made in May, 1618, with John Bargrave
and James Brett. There is also his warrant to John Fenner to pass to Virginia and
trade with the colony and the savages in his pinnace Silver Falcon, in February,
1618/19.4
The other series of documents, which illustrate the legal forms and methods of
the company, as also the way in which the first plantations were undertaken by
private means, concern Smythe’s Hundred and Berkeley Hundred. Among the
Ferrar papers are the minutes of the meeting of the committee for Smythe’s
Hundred on May 8, 1618,° the first record concerning the hundred, which provides
for the sending out and equipment of thirty-five men at an expense of £657 9s. 4d.
VII.—SUPPLEMENTARY CONTEMPORARY CORRESPONDENCE AND RECORDS
In addition to the documents which are either official records or similar to such
records in character, there is a large amount of correspondence between officers
of state in England and other individuals which by its reference throws light
on the affairs of the company or gives additional or corroborative data. All of
this which is earlier in date than 1616 has been published by Alexander Brown.
There are seven letters, the dates of which fall between 1616 and 1619, that
are of the same character; but they add nothing in fact to the other documents,
although two of them reveal the measures taken even at this early date to impress
youths and maidens for Virginia and to send reprieved prisoners to the colony.“ Of
the documents of this character, which are given by Brown, perhaps the correspond-
ence between the Spanish ambassador in London and the King of Spain is the most
valuable, not in the trustworthiness of the data—though much of it confirms other
sources—but in the revelation it contains of the part that Spanish relations played
in the development of the company and especially in its decline during the follow-
ing decade, while its reference to prevalent rumors, reports, and sentiment are
extremely illuminating. There are thirty-seven of these documents in all, including
the correspondence concerning the Spanish ship Chaloner. The Chamberlain-Carleton,
Digby-Salisbury, Cottington-Salisbury, and Lee-Wilson correspondence add occa-
4 ¥or these documents see List of Records, p. 129, Nos. 77, 82, 98, 99.

4. Ohe Collections of Borwments, 1616-1624
GENERAL CHARACTER OF THE RECORDS
The character of the documents of the company after 1619 is fundamentally
the same as in the preceding decade. Virginia was still a proprietary province
with a commercial company as an overlord, and therefore the company was still
the immediate source of all government in the colony. To it came all appeals
from colonial authorities; it exercised control over all commerce, both from and
to Virginia; it granted all land and all privileges. Although the number of doc-
uments emanating from the Crown %—that is, of the first class—is large, they are
rather an indication of the increasing wealth and importance of the company, than
of royal interference. They concern the regulation of trade, complain of the
abuse of power by the company, or provide for the investigation of its acts
rather than assume any authority in the direct administration of its affairs. In
them interference in the management is foreshadowed, but it is not until the
dissolution of the company that the Crown again becomes the proprietor.
The mass of materials which form the records for this period is much
greater than in the carlier decade. This is due on the one hand to their
preservation in two or three collections, and on the other especially to the vast
growth of business in the company and the rapid development from a colony
for exploitation into a colony for settlement. Thus the minutes of the company,
forming the second class of documents, show that it conducted a larger amount
of business than any other proprietary company.’ These minutes comprise two
large volumes of the court book, and fill 741 manuscript pages.“ In the third
class there are nine letters from the company to the governor and council in the
colony, and twelve from the latter body to the company, in addition to a large
number of receipts, commissions, instructions, and laws.¢ A mass of material
belonging distinctly to the plantation serves as a part of the records of the
@See documents under Class I in the List of Records.
>¥or this statement, as also for a full understanding of the character of the company, see Osgood,
The American Colonies in the Seventeenth Century, I, 61.
¢Grouped under Class II in the List of Records.

40 INTRODUCTION
company and at the same time furnishes the story of the beginning of the
political unity of the colony. This group consists of the ‘‘court booke” of the
council of the colony during the last year of the authority of the company,
covering about 65 pages; 54 commissions, orders, proclamations, and warrants to
subordinates in the colony issued by the governor and council in Virginia, and
35 petitions to the same body from the members of the colony. ‘The publica-
tions of the company for this final period of its existence number 3 large
broadsides, 11 declarations containing 168 printed pages, and 4 sermons and
treatises made up of 150 pages.? The supplementary official material found in
the correspondence between individuals of the company and of the colony or
between members of the company in England, in addition to the records of the
private companies within the larger body, includes many documents and memo-
randa.° Sixty-six of these are preserved in the Manchester papers, while 78 are
from the Ferrar papers, which are now first made known and published. The
unofficial material, consisting of records of other companies, of towns, and of
correspondence touching on the affairs of the company or colony, numbers about
40 documents.?
The relative value of the various classes of the records for this period has
been altered by the preservation of the court book which has made the other
material supplementary, or even subsidiary, with the exception of the correspond-
ence; for in it is either recorded or summarized the information which the
company had received from all other sources, or which it imparted to individuals
or to the public by other means. But the fact that the other records are
supplementary does not decrease their value, for they often furnish the data
which are the basis of the acts and conclusions of the company, while some of
them also reveal the legal or political processes of the company, of the colony,
of the courts, or of the sovereign authority, and others are of great value in the
light which they throw on the dissenting party within the company.
The subject-matter of the court book, as well as the character and contents
of the various documents, proves the changed condition which the increase of
business had brought about, since a large proportion of the records deal with the
founding and conducting of private enterprises, and many of them are really
documents of a private nature. It is apparent that the company still looked upon
the colony as a source of income for the investors, but that the ulterior object

THE COLLECTIONS OF DOCUMENTS, 1616-1624 41
had become the development of the resources of Virginia instead of the produc-
tion of wealth through mines and the opening of new trade routes. As a result
of this change in commercial object had come the need of larger, more numerous,
and more scattered settlements in the colony, and of greater co-operation on the
part of the settlers, although it may well be claimed that the latter necessity had
been urged upon the leaders by the mismanagement of Captain Argall during
the three years previous to the change in administration. In order to increase
the number of planters, concessions of privilege had been made to private parties
or groups as early as 1618, since such investments were doubtless easier to secure
when the adventure was under the immediate control of the undertaker. Simi-
larly, for the purpose of stimulating capital and gaining the co-operation of the
planters, the division of land, promised in 1609, was proclaimed in 1616. Free
tenancy was now guaranteed to all individuals, even to indented servants, at the
expiration of seven years. The organization of joint stock companies for the manage-
ment of trade, which supplanted the magazine, was a movement toward private euter-
prize. Hence it is that these subjects, together with those which concern the impor-
tation and sale of tobacco, occupy the greater part of the court book, and must have
consumed most of the attention of the corporation. The burden of discussion in the
courts concerned the best means of marketing the products, whereas in the earlier
decade it must have related to the increase of capital. The records of the colony
were no longer simple reports to the company and instructions from the proprietor,
but assumed the character of political documents, since liberty of land and trade, and
the creation of numerous plantations and scattered settlements resulted in the growth
of ‘‘ political conditions and forces side by side with the commercial and economic.”
The minutes of the colonial legislative assembly, the records of the colonial court, the
petitions to the governor and council, and the commissions and orders granted by that
body are all distinctively new features in the records. Here is evidence of the crea-
tion of the colony, with its body of free citizens, out of the plantation, with its body
of half-servile laborers.
THE JEFFERSON LIBRARY IN THE LIBRARY OF CONGRESS
The records of the company under the administration of Sir Edwin Sandys and
the Earl of Southampton, or the copies of them so far as extant, are to-day scattered
among many public and private collections both in England and in America. The
Library of Congress at Washington possesses by far the largest and most impor-
tant collection in this country. It contains the contemporary certified copy of the
court book from 1619 to 1624, as well as a mass of original correspondence, or
contemporary copies of the same, between the company and the council in Virginia.

42 INTRODUCTION
It also includes many original records of the colony, many eighteenth century tran-
scripts of the original commissions, patents, and other records, and many recent
transcripts and photographs of documents in the collections of England.
The eighteenth century transcripts and the original documents und contemporary
copies came to the Library of Congress from ‘Thomas Jefferson’s collection in two
different groups: the first in 1815, when his library, purchased ‘in a lump as
it stood on the catalogue,” ¢ was secured by Congress for the sum of $23,950; the
second was secured when the books of Mr. Jefferson were sold at auction subsequent
to his death in 1826. ‘The catalogue of the auction sale classified those acquired
by the Library of Congress at the latter date under two numbers as follows: ?
‘*No. 121. Records of the Virginia Company, 2 vols., fol. MS. (the authentic
copy mentioned in Stith’s History).
‘*No, 122. Old Records of Virginia, 4 vols. fol. MS. viz:
‘*A. Letters, proclamations in 1622-23, and correspondence 1625.
(42) Transactions in council and assembly, their petition and his majesty’s
answer.°
‘*B. (9). Orders from Feb. 1622 to Nov. 1627.¢
‘**C, (82) A. Foreign business and Inquisitions from 1665 to 1676.
Transactions of the council from Dec. 9, 1698, to May 20, 1700.”
The volumes of Jefferson manuscripts relating to the company, which became
the property of the Government in 1815, were as follows:
(1) First laws made by the Assembly in Va. anno 16231 (Used by Hening.)
(2) Journal of the Council and Assembly, 1626-1634. (Used by Hening.) %
(3) Miscellaneous Records, 1606-1692, with a small quarto containing abstracts
of Rolls in the offices of State bound into the volume. (Commonly known as the
Bland copy, because so cited by Hening.)
4Manuscript letters of Thomas Jefferson in the Library of Congress. In this letter to William
Hening, March 11, 1815, from Monticello, Mr. Jefferson stated that he could not retain a volume, since
Congress had purchased his library.
bThe ‘‘Catalogue. President Jeffergon’s library .... (as arranged by himself,) .... to be sold
at auction, at the Long Room, Pennsylvania Avenue, Washington .... ...- , 27th of February, 1829,
i. a(R ,’ p. 4, is in the Library of Congress, Miscellaneous Pamphlets, Vol. 859, No. 14.
¢This is classified as one folio manuscript in the catalogue of the Library of Congress, 1830, and
the latter is doubtless the manuscript covering the period from 1626-1634.
@ This manuscript also contains loose papers to 1632.
€Catalogue of the Library of Congress, 1880, p. 167.
Ff Catalogue of the [ibrary of Congress, 1815, p. 73.
9 This is probably the same manuscript as that mentioned above under the Jefferson catalogue as
No. 122 (42). There is no other manuscript in the Library which corresponds to the title here given
or to the description above.

THH COLLECTIONS OF DOCUMENTS, 1616-162} 43
(4) Miscellaneous Papers, 1606-1683. Instructions, Commitons letters of Advice
and admonitions and Public Speectes, Proclamations cc. Collected, transcribed and
diligently ecamined by the Originall Eecords, now extant, belonging to the Assemblie.
The entire set in the first group, acquired in 1829, is composed either of original
documents or of contemporary transcripts, while the second paper of the second
group belongs to the same period. The Miscellaneous Papers, 1606-1683, are a
seventeenth century transcript. The Laws of 1623 and the Miscellaneous Records,
1606-1692, are transcripts of the early eighteenth century and are attested by R.
Hickman, who was clerk of the general court in 1722. The origin and identification
of these various volumes, together with a later copy of the court book of the com-
pany, now in the library of the Virginia Historical Society and commonly known as
the [John] Randolph [of Roanoke] copy, has been a subject of doubt and discussion,
arising from the conflicting descriptions of the volumes by the early historians of
Virginia, William Stith and John D. Burk, and by the editor of many of the
documents in 1809, William Hening.
The following statements with regard to the first group made by Mr. Jefferson
in a letter to Hugh P. Taylor, October 4, 1825,¢ will serve as a basis for the attempt
to ascertain the history and authenticity of those manuscripts:
‘* The only manuscripts I now possess relating to the antiquities of our country
are some folio volumes: Two of these are the proceeding[s] of the Virginia company
in England; the remaining four are of the Records of the Council of Virginia, from
1622 to 1700. The account of the first two volumes, you will see in the preface to
Stiths History of Virginia. They contain the records of the Virginia Company,
copied from the originals, under the eye, if I recollect rightly, of the Earl of South-
ampton, a member of the company, bought at the sale of his library by Doctor
Byrd, of Westover, and sold with that library to Isaac Zane. These volumes
happened at the time of the sale, to have been borrowed by Col. R. Bland,’ whose
library I purchased, and with this they were sent tome. I gave notice of it to Mr.
Zane, but he never reclaimed them.
‘* The other four volumes, I am confident, are the original office records of the
council. My conjectures are, that when Sir John Randolph was about to begin
the History of Virginia which he meant to write, he borrowed these volumes from
the council office to collect from them materials for his work. He died before he
had mado any progress in that work, and they remained in his library, probably
unobserved, during the whole life of the late Peyton Randolph, his son. From his
executor, I purchased his library, in a lump, and these volumes were sent to me as a
part of it. I found the leaves so rotten as often to crumble into dust on being
handled; 1 bound them, therefore together, that they might not be unnecessarily

44 INTRODUCTION
CONTEMPORARY COPY OF THE COURT BOOK
The two volumes referred to by Mr. Jefferson as the ‘‘proceedings of the
Virginia Company in England” are the contemporary copies of the court book
which were secured by the Hon. William Byrd, of Westover, Virginia, from the
estate of the Karl of Southampton, either at the time of his death in 1667 or
later. Since Mr. Byrd was a boy of 15 living in London in 1667, it may have
been when the Virginia estates were left him in 1671, or even in 1687 when he
made a visit to England, that he made the purchase. That the books remained
in the possession of the descendants of Mr. Byrd for a century is proved by
the fact that they are mentioned in a manuscript catalogue of the library of the
third William Byrd, who died in 1777,° but these two volumes were not in the
library of Colonel Byrd, when it was sold by his widow in Philadelphia to Isaac
Zane. Mr. Jefferson’s statement that he purchased them from Colonel Bland may
be accepted,° but it would be difficult to prove whether he is equally reliable when
he states that the volumes had been loaned to Colonel Bland and had not been
returned by him to Colonel Byrd, or whether Mr. Deane is correct in saying that
Colonel Bland, as an antiquary, had secured them. That Stith used these contempo-
rary copies of the court book in his History of Virginia is apparent from his
description of them, as also from his statement that they had been communicated
to him by the ‘‘late worthy president of our council, the Hon. William Byrd, esq.” 4
MANUSCRIPT RECORDS OF THE COMPANY, VOLUME III
The other manuscript volumes, which the Library of Congress acquired from
Mr. Jefferson and which are included under No. 122 of the Jefferson catalogue,
belong to the early seventeenth century. They are the documents which Mr.
Jefferson referred to in his letter to Mr. Taylor as having come from the library of
the Hon. Peyton Randolph in such a fragile condition, and which in a letter to
Mr. Wythe, of January 16, 1795, urging the necessity of publishing the laws of
Virginia, he describes in a similar way.¢
@ William Byrd died December 4, 1704. See Byrd, History of the Dividing Line.
5 ‘Catalogue of the Books in the Library at Westover belonging to William Byrd, Esqr.,’’ p. 437,
in The Writings of Colonel Wiliam Byrd, edited by J. §. Bassett.
¢ For a description of these volumes and the circumstances of their making, see the discussion,
pp. 78-84, post.
“It is hardly possible that Mr. Jefferson’s statement is incorrect and that, instead of having been
acquired by Col. Richard Bland at that time, they passed from Stith to his brother-in-law, Peyton
Randolph, and with the library of the latter to Jefferson. This is one of the solutions suggested by
Justin Winsor. See Narrative and Critical History of the United States, III, 158.

THE OOLLEOTIONS OF DOOUMENTS, 1616-1624 45
That these are the papers discussed by Stith is proved by comparing them with
the Hickman (Bland) transcripts. In his preface, Stith confirms the description
by Mr. Jefferson, but he apparently destroys the latter’s theory that the papers
had been in the possession of Peyton Randolph since the death of Sir John Randolph
in 1736. Mr. Stith wrote his proface in 1746, and suggests that they were at that
time in the possession of the House of Burgesses, although he does not make a
positive statement to that effect. His assertions are worth recording, since they
carry the history of the volumes back thirty years and also throw light on the
Hickman transcripts.
‘I must chiefly depend upon such of our Records, as are still extant. Many of
them doubtless perished in the State-house at James-Town, and by other Accidents;
and those, which have survived the Flames and Injuries of Time, have been so care-
lesly kept, are so broken, interrupted, and deficient, have been so mangled by Moths
and Worms, and lie in such a confused and jumbled State (at least the most ancient
of them) being huddled together in single Leaves and Sheets in Books out of the
Binding, that I foresee, it will cost me infinite Pains and Labour, to reduce and
digest them in any tolerable Order, so as to form from them a just and connected
Narration. And some of them have been lost, even since Mr. Hickman was Clerk of
the Secretary’s Office. For I cannot find, among the Papers in our Offices, some old
Rolls, to which he refers. I have therefore been obliged, in a few Points, to depend
upon the Fidelity of that Gentleman’s Extracts out of our oldest Records, made for
the Use of Sir John Randolph. But these things were so far from discouraging and
rebufiing me, that they were rather an additional Spur to my Industry. For I
thought it highly necessary, before they were entirely lost and destroyed, to apply
them to their proper Use, the forming a good History. But as the House of
Burgesses in a late Session, upon my shewing their moldering and dangerous State
to some of the Members, have justly taken them into their Consideration, and have
ordered them to be reviewed and fairly transcribed, I doubt not, by their Assistance,
and with the Help of the late Sir John Randolph’s Papers, and such others, as are in
the Hands of private Gentlemen in the Country, and will undoubtedly be readily
communicated to further so noble and so useful a Design, to be able to collect and
compose a tolerably regular and complete History of our Country.” 4
Hence, we are again left ina quandary. The papers may have come into Peyton
Randolph’s possession through the arrangement made by the burgesses for their
transcription; but no transcript made directly from the documents as late as 1746
is known to us. Whether they were borrowed from the province by Mr. Stith or
by Peyton Randolph, his brother-in-law, or by some other historian or antiquarian
is not yet proved; and our only evidence that Jefferson secured them from Peyton
Randolph’s executor is his statement made twenty years after the date of the purchase.

46 INTRODUCTION
The papers, sfter almost a century in the Capitol, were ina still more deplorable
condition in 1901 than that described by Mr. Stith, but the loose pages have now
been carefully and skillfully repaired. The order of contents of the volumes (while
not chronologically arranged) may be known from the abstracts made under the
direction of Hickman about 1722. This agrees with an arrangement determined by
the carly pagination, the subject-matter, and the writing. ‘That these manuscripts
are original records or contemporary copies is evidenced by the form of some of them,
by the signatures of others, and by the autographs of the secretaries and clerks of
the period. The supposition is that they escaped destruction when the Province
House was burned in Bacon’s rebellion in 1678, during the administration of Gooch
in 1698, and again during the Revolution, only to be lost to the State in the latter
half of the eighteenth century.
The volume designated as 122, A, in the Jefferson catalogue, and there entitled
‘* Letters, proclamations in 1622-23, and correspondence 1625,” is evidently the one
referred to by page in the Hickman abstract of the rolls as ‘‘the other side of No.
A 42.Ӣ This abstract is a quarto bound into the Miscellaneous Records, 1606-1692,
called by Hening the ‘‘ Bland copy.” In pages 1 to 14a of this volume are eighteen
letters from the colony to the King or to the company between 1621 and 1625, while
pages 15 to 30 contain nine letters from the company to the colony between 1621 and
August 6, 1623. The first group are holographs, but of a secretary or clerk not yet
identified. The second are doubtless in the autograph of Edward Sharpless.? Both
are contemporary copies of the originals.© The documents classed in the Jefferson
catalogue as 122 (42) form the balance of this volume and also probably include the
journal of the council and assembly, 1626-1634. The latter was evidently used by
Hening in compiling his statutes.
Presuming that this fragile document, which is the only one concerning the
company and the colony while controlled by the company, formed one volume, its
contents was as follows:
No. A 42:
1. (a) Miscellaneous letters from the Privy Council to the governor and
council in Virginia in 1623, pp. 1-3¢. An unknown holograph.
(2) Declarations of the condition of the colony and answers thereto in
1628/4, pp. 8-74. An unknown holograph.
@ This volume of correspondence is cited in the List of Records as the ‘‘ Manuscript Records of the
Virginia Company of London, Vol. III, pt. ii,” thus including in Vol. III all of this miscellaneous
manuscript material of the company.
b Edward Sharpless had been a clerk of the secretary of the colony, Christopher Davison, and
succeeded him upon his death in the winter of 1623/4. He remained as acting secretary until his
trial on May 20, 1624, for giving copies of the acts of the assembly to the commissioners of the King;
John Sotherne then took up his duties.
¢ See Plates, post, Vol. II for illustrations of these holographs, and for evidence as to the autographs.

THE COLLECTIONS OF DOCUMENTS, 1616-1624 47
2. Fundamental orders, charters, ordinances, and instructions by the
company in London and laws of the assembly in Virginia, pp. 8-21. Partly
holographs as above.*
No. A 42. ‘‘The other side:”
1. (a) Letters from the colony to the King or to the company between
1621 and 1625. An unknown holograph.
(6) Letters from the company to the colony between 1621 and August 6,
1623. Holographs of Edward Sharpless.
2. Instructions, commissions, proclamations, ‘orders, warrants, and letters
of the governor and captain-general of Virginia and of the assembly, pp. 36-53.
Partly the holograph of Edward Sharpless and partly perhaps of Christopher
Davison, the secretary of the colony from November, 1621, until his death in
the winter of 1623/4.°
4, Petitions to the governor and council in Virginia, pp. 58-63. Holo-
graphs as of the preceding.
5. A miscellaneous collection of letters between the Privy Council and the
Commissioners for Virginia on the one hand and the governor and council in
Virginia on the other, in 1625/6, pp. 68-70; a letter from the Virginia Company
of London in 1626, p. 71, and a census of 1624, pp. 71-75. Unknown holo-
graphs similar to those in the first part of this end of the volume.¢
The first part of the volume thus opens with the letters of the Privy Council —
to the colony on April 28, 1623, when the King first began the action looking toward
the dissolution of the company, and with the first direct correspondence with the
officers of the colony. The writing and the dates place the documents as consecutive
through the entry of the acts of the assembly, March 5, 1623/4, when the assembly
seems to have ceased. After that page, copies of scattered documents appear ina
different writing, commencing on the back of the last assembly record. These are
largely fundamental or constitutional, including the instructions of November 20,
1606, the charter of 1606, the order of 1607 enlarging the council, and the oaths
administered to officials of the colony of the same period. The other part of the
volume opens with the correspondence between the colony and the home government.
After a hiatus of fifteen pages the documents of the governor and assembly begin
as indicated undor tho second division above. The writing is that of Edward Sharp-
less and Christopher Davison, and remains the same throughout the petitions of the
next group. The last group of miscellaneous documents agrees in subject with the

48 INTRODUOTION
letters of the first part and in autograph with the first section of those letters. On
a fly leaf among the loose papers is inscribed the following: ‘‘ Records of W. Clay-
bourne or Claiborne./ p Joseph [Jokeg] / Tho Farloue & / Vpton gent / Thos.
Ba[u]rbag[e]/ Clef Cone”./ This may belong to the records of the period after
May 14, 1626, when William Claybourne was appointed secretary of the colony by
Charles I, or it may have been placed in an earlier volume, or it may indicate that a
part at least of the earlier volume was transcribed under his direction.
Section B (9) of No. 122 in the Jefferson catalogue, cited as orders from
February, 1622, to November, 1627, and including loose pages as late as 1634, is the
only octavo manuscript of these records and has been saved from its almost useless
condition by repair. That this is the original blotter of the court book of the gover-
nor and council in Virginia, containing the original record of suits tried before that
body and of orders issued by it, is proved by the hasty and brief entries, giving the
volume an entirely different character from those of the carefully elaborated tran-
scripts of the clerks. The records of twenty-three courts held as here given and of
the cases considered during the era of the authority of the company, consisting of
about forty-five pages of manuscript, are noted in the list of the records of the
company, but are not printed in this collection since they may be included more
properly in a publication of the ‘‘ Records of the Colony.”
THE TRANSCRIPTS OF THE VIRGINIA RECORDS
RANDOLPH COPY
It is now certain that at least two copies of the court book existed at the
beginning of the nineteenth century, since the so-called John Randolph fof Roanoke]
copy has recently come to light.¢ It bears every evidence of being an eighteenth
century transcript made from the contemporary copy now in the Library of Congress;
the manuscript is of the century following that of the contemporary copy; the
order, paragraphing, form of insertion of documents, and material is identical; but
the omissions and errors arise from illegibility in the earlier manuscript. The
other differences lie in occasional carelessness by the copyist and in the fact that
the ubbreviations are expanded and the spelling and the capitalization are modernized.
The caption of tho first volume of this cighteenth century copy is as follows:
“The Ancient Records of this Colony under The Treasurer and Company.” It
opens with ‘‘A Quarter Court held for Virginia at Sir Thomas Smith’s house in
@The three volumes are in the collection of the Virginia Historical Society in Richmond, but they
are 60 closely associated with the Library of Congress MSS. that they are discussed here rather than
under the MSS. of Richmond.

Philpott Lane, 28th of April 1619,” and ends on page 535 with the court of July 3,
1622. The final statement is as follows: ‘*The rest of the Company’s Acts are
contained in a Second Volume.” Volume II begins with a court of July 17, 1622,
and closes on page 491 with the proceedings of June 7, 1624. It bears the caption,
‘“The Records of the Company of Virginia, Vol. 2%.” Pages 492 to 502 include a
list of *‘The names of the Adventurers for Virginia, as they were in the Year 1620.”
On the inside of the board of this volume is written the name, ‘‘Sam’! Perkins of
Cawson.” There is a third volume of this series of transcripts which is described
by Mr. Robinson thus: ‘‘The other volume begins with the first charter to the
proprietors of Carolina dated the 24th of March, in the fifteenth year of Charles IT,
(1663) and ends page 543 with report of the petition of Philip Laudwell against the
Lord Effingham made by the Lords Committees of Trade and Plantations, Dated at
the Council Chamber 26th of April 1689.” This document ends on page 530. The
volume closes on page 544 with ‘‘A Memorial for obtaining a more perfect Rent
Roll, & advancing Her Majesty’s Quit Rents in Virginia”. On the first cover is the
date, ‘‘Sep 19 1759.”
Mr. Brown thinks that these copies were made for Colonel Richard Bland from
Colonel Byrd’s volumes and passed to Theodorick Bland of the family of Cawson,
the grandfather of John Randolph of Roanoke, to whom they finally came. He
adds that the Byrd volumes went to Mr. Jefferson with the Bland collection, which
he bought about 1776, instead of the copies therefrom.” Mr. Jameson suggests that
John Randolph of Roanoke may have inherited these transcripts from his great
uncle, Sir John Randolph. In this case also they would have been made from Mr.
Byrd’s volumes, and perhaps should have gone to Mr. Jefferson with the Peyton
Randolph library, but this would not account for the name ‘*Cawson” in the
second volume. Furthermore, according to Mr. Stanard, John Randolph of
Roanoke was not an heir to Sir John Randolph, and the families were not even
on friendly terms. Mr. Brown’s supposition, seems the more plausible, since
Theodorick Bland, jr., of Cawson may have received the volumes from the son
of Richard Bland by gift or purchase, though not by inheritance, and, as Theo-
dorick Bland, jr., died without heirs in 1790, the books may have become the
property of his sister’s son, John Randolph of Roanoke.
The location of these volumes since the time of the death of John Randolph
of Roanoke is known. According to Mr. Brown, John Randolph? in a codicil to
@8ee an account of ‘‘Two manuscript volumes now in the Library of Congress, at Washington,
D. C.,” in The Magazine of American History, New York, Vol. 29, April, 1893.
Not to be confused with Sir John Randolph, father of the Peyton Randolph whose library
Jefferson says he purchased in 1778,

50 INTRODUCTION
his will in 1826 left his library to the master and fellows of Trinity College,
Cambridge, but in 1831 so altered the will as to bequeath it to his niece, E. T.
Bryan. Certain it is, however, that for ten years after his death on May 4, 1833, the
volumes remained in his library in Roanoke, for Hon. Hugh Blair Grigsby examined
them at that place on January 11, 1843. -The library was sold in 1845, but it is
evident from the statement of Judge William Leigh, the executor of the estate,
that the Randolph copy of the court book remained in his hands.
The later history of this copy is told by Mr. Leigh Robinson, of Washington,
D. C., as follows:
‘*‘A complete transcript of the Records of the Virginia Company had been in the
possession of John Randolph of Roanoke, and by Mr. Randolph’s executor, Judge
William Leigh, was placed in the hands of my father, shortly after the termination
of the war between the States. The Virginia Historical Society, having then no
shelter of safety for such a work, my father placed it in the Vaults of one of the
banks of Richmond, with a view to transferring it to the Society, as soon as it
could be done with Safety. His death occurred before (in his opinion) this could be
done. After his death, his family transferred to the Society the copy made by him-
self. It was some time before they were able to discover the place of deposit of the
Randolph Copy. But they finally recovered it, and transferred this also to the Vir-
ginia Historical Society, where it now is.”
Mr. Conway Robinson, the father of Mr. Leigh Robinson, prepared for the press
two volumes of abstracts from the court book, which were edited later by R. A.
Brock for the Virginia Historical Society and entitled Virginia Company, 1619-1624.
Robinson states that in the preparation of the volumes he had many transcripts made
through Mr. Mehan from the copy in the Library of Congress, and also from the
Randolph volumes which Judge Leigh had loaned to him.?
The third volume of this Randolph series, which is cited both by Burk and
by Hening’ as ‘‘Ancient Records, Volume III,” was copied from the transcript
attested by R. Hickman. This volume of Miscellaneous Records, 1606-1692, is the
only volume which contains the substance found in the Randolph copy, and is of
«See a manuscript letter to Mr. Worthington C. Ford, Chief of the Division of Manuscripts in the
Library of Congress, December 15, 1902. These volumes, and the third described by Mr. Robingon’s
father are now in the Virginia Historical Society collection in Richmond.
UA letter of Mr. Robinson to Mr. Deane, July 1, 1868. Tor the use of this letter, as also one from
Mr. Deane to Mr. Robinson of July 6, 1868, the Editor is indebted to Mr. J. Franklin Jameson, professor
of history in Chicago University. In amemorandum Mr. Deane states that he inspected these volumes
in April, 1872, at which time they were at the house of Mr. S. A. Myers, the law partner of Mr. Con-
way Robinson.
¢For the extracts from the ‘‘Ancient Records,’’ Vol. III, so called, by Hening, see Statutes at
Large, 1, 76-113 (collated readings given), 113-120, 145, 146, 209, 223.

an earlier date, and, like the original rolls, is less chronological in arrangement.
That the Randolph copy was not made from the original records is evidenced by
the fuct that the abstracts ure identical with those of the Hickman or ** Blind” copy.
That both Hening and Burk used the Randolph copies of the court book and
also the third volume of that series is proved by their descriptions of the volumes,
while the page references to ‘‘Ancient Records” cited by Hening coincide in each
case with these three volumes. Mr. Ilening speaks of three large folio volumes not
in the orthography of the age of the events, and compiled without much regard to
method for the purpose of forming material for a history of Virginia, and states
that the first two volumes are minutes of the proceedings of the London Company,
and the third an epitome of the legislative and judicial acts of authorities in Vir-
ginia, so far as then extant, which were regularly transmitted to England. These,
he continues, were used by John Burk, who got them from John Randolph, and
also by Skelton Jones, 1809, to complete Burk’s History of Virginia.? Mr. Burk
himself declares that there are two large volumes, instead of three, as stated by
Hening, ‘‘containing the minutes of the London Company together with the pro-
ceedings of the Virginia Councils and Assembly, with little interruption to the
middle of the reign of George II.”?
JEFFERSON TRANSCRIPTS
The three volumes containing transcripts of the Virginia Records which came
from the Jefferson Library in 1815 are unique, containing copies of records since
destroyed. ‘Two of them are attested by R. Hickman, the deputy clerk of the
general court in 1722, and the third is the only seventeenth century transcript in
our possession. Unlike the Randolph copies, the two large volumes include copies
of records since destroyed.
Of this group the ‘First laws made by the assembly in Va. Anno 1623”
bears on the back of the last page the following indorsement in Mr. Jefferson’s
hand; ‘‘This was found among the manuscript papers of S' John Randolph and by
the Hofible. Peyton Randolph, esq. his son was given to Tho*. Jefferson,” and is
attested as follows: ‘‘Copia Test R. Hickman D CGC.” This early eighteenth
contury transcript was made by the same copyist as were the Miscellaneous Records,
1606-1692, and is the volume used by Hening and referred to in his first volume,
paves 121-129. It must also be the subject of a letter from Thomas Jefferson to
Hening, April 8, 1815, in which he states that the manuscript marked ‘‘A” contains
laws of 1623-24, thirty-five acts, which was given him by Peyton Randolph from
the materials used by Sir John Randolph, and which Mr. Jefferson declares to
4Hening, Statutes at Large, I, 76 n. (a). bBurk, History of Virginia, I, ch. V; II, 7, 42, 67.

be the ‘‘Only copy extant of those laws!”? In 1803 Mr. Jefferson had declined to
lend to Mr. John D. Burk some of the printed laws of Virginia in his possession,
since they were unique and could not be replaced.’ The internal evidence points to
the fact that Hening also used the other volumes of this set, a fact corroborated
by the following statement of Mr. Jefferson in a letter to Mr. George Watterson,
May 7, 1815: ‘“‘I gaveto Mr. Milligan a note of those folio volumes of the Laws of
Virginia belonging to the Library which being in known hands, will be recovered.
One is a MS. volume from which a printed copy is now preparing for publica-
tion.” Mr. Hening was doubtless using them in the preparation of his later
volumes. Certain it is that these documents form the basis for a part of his first
volume, in which he cites the Journal of the Council and Assembly, 1626-1634, as
belonging to Thomas Jefferson, and as having been ‘‘ purchased by him with the
library of Peyton Randolph, from his executors.” The third, the Jfscellaneous
Records, 1606-1692, he states was bought by Mr. Jefferson ‘‘from the executor of
Richard Bland, dec’d.”¢
The seventeenth century volume, entitled /nstructions, Commizons letters of
Advice and admonitions and Publique Speec'es, Proclamations cc: Collected,
transcribed and diligently examined by the Originall Records, now extant, belonging
to the Assemblie, is a vellum-covered book, with an embossed figure on the back
cover, and with the following: ‘‘E/ 1621/ Publiq, Letters / and Orders.” On the
outside of the front cover upside down is: ‘‘E/ John Bland/ Richard Blan [d] /
Alexander Morrison,” / while on the half that remains of the first fly leaf is the
name ‘‘Nelson.” On the fly leaf in the book in pencil is the statement: ‘‘date of
MSS 1650-1695;” and on the front cover similarly is: ‘*17” Century copie Bland.”
This presence of Richard Bland’s name in the book shows that Mr. Jefferson secured
it with the Bland Library. The writing of the volume is similar to the early seven-
teenth century system in many of the abbreviations, the use of the double f, and the
formation of some of the letters. Evidently this is a collection of correspondence
of the colony, transcribed from the court books and from the miscellaneous papers
of the three volumes of the manuscript records of the company.¢
The second volume of documents from 1606 to 1692 is in an eighteenth century
hand, many of the documents bearing the attestation of R. Hickman. The binding
4Jefferson Letters, in the Library of Congress. This is an error, since a contemporary copy has
been found among the ‘‘fragile papers’’ in Jefferson’s own possession at the time.

in 1809. By an act of the assembly in 1819 the work was completed. In 1823 the first four volumes
were reprinted.

is in calf and bears on the back the red label, ‘‘ Vir/. Records.” Bound into the
back of this volume is a small quarto of twenty-five pages, containing outlines of
documents in the Manuscript Records of the Company, which serves to identify the
loose pages of the original records as Roll A. 42, and an abstract of Captain Argall’s
register during his government.¢ ‘The documents in the folio volume are charters,
instructions, commissions, letters from the Privy Council, and other documents
emanating from the Crown, together with one or two from the company and from
the council in Virginia.? That this volume is the one used by Hening in his Statutes
and referred to as the ‘‘ Bland copy” is indicated by the contents as well as by the
fact that it includes the quarto volume. His reason for citing it as the ‘*‘ Bland copy”
can only be surmised, namely, that he had Mr. Jefferson’s statement that it had been
secured with the Bland library, an erroneous designation as is proved by Stith’s
statement in his preface, that R. Hickman made a copy of the Records for Sir John
Randolph.? But the volume has been known for the past century as the ‘‘ Bland
copy,” although its title as a ‘‘ Hickman” or a ‘*‘ Randolph” volume would be more
appropriate.
The conclusions which have been formed with regard to these original and
contemporary manuscripts and the later transcripts disclose little concerning the
circumstances under which they were made, or the original owners of the volumes.
But the important facts to discover, in order to determine their authenticity, are
the period of the transcript and the documents from which the copies were made,
and these facts in each case have been ascertained.¢
&The documents there referred to by page are noted in the ‘‘List of Records.’ The original
register of Captain Argall has not been found.

54 INTRODUCTION
The Library of Congress has recently acquired a large number of transcripts
of those manuscripts now in the libraries of Great Britain pertaining to the Virginia
Company or to the colony under the authority of the company. It thus possesses
reproductions of all of the Virginia material in the British Museum, the Privy Council
ollico, the Bodleian Library, and the Magdalene College Library, Cambridge. In the
Public Record Oflice all docquet notices on Virginia, all records of suits in chancery
and the admiralty pertaining to Virginia, and the quo warranto in the King’s Bench,
by which the company was dissolved, as well as the most important documents and
correspondence, have been transcribed or photographed for the Library of Congress,
but the correspondence of the planters, the less important correspondence of the
company, and mere memoranda are yet to be transcribed. The latter material is
fairly outlined in the Calendar of State Papers, Colonial Series, 1574 to 1660, and in
the Appendix of the eighth report of the Royal Commission on Historical Manuscripts,
or is printed elsewhere in full.¢
The collection of publications by the company belonging to the Library of
Congress is fairly good. It contains twelve of those which were issued before 1616,
but of the later books it has only three. The Declaration of 1620, the Declaration
by Waterhouse in 1622, and John Donne’s Sermon of the same year, in addition to
Smith’s General History, are the only ones of the eighteen now extant which are in
the Library.
DOCUMENTS IN RICHMOND
The colonial records in Richmond, Virginia, relating to the period of the
company are extremely few in number. Fortunately the original documents,
which are in the Library of Congress, were borrowed or abstracted from the
state house in time to save them from destruction during the Revolution or by
fire in 1865.2. There are, however, two volumes of original records in the Virginia
State land office containing grants of land in 1623 and 1624, which were evidently
entered by William Claybourne, at that time surveyor for the colony. The his-
tory of contemporary documents before 1625, which are located in the district
of the old settlement, may thus be briefly told.
The valuable collections of the Virginia Historical Society in Richmond
embrace the John Randolph of Roanoke transcripts described above, while the
State library has three sets of transcripts and one set of abstracts from the British
Public Record Office. Of the latter the De Jarnette papers, 1606-1691, include only
4 All of these papers are included in the List of Records.

tion, 1908, I, 645-664.

THE COLLECTIONS OF DOCUMENTS, 1616-1624 55
a few of the documents of interest; in the Macdonald and Winder papers are full and
careful copies of several of the long and important documents, following generally
the orthography of the originals; while the Sainsbury abstracts contain comparatively
full outlines of those documents included in the Calendar of State Papers, Colonial
Series.
MANUSCRIPTS IN THE NEW YORK PUBLIC LIBRARY
The New York Public Library is next in importance to the Library of Congress
in manuscript material on the Virginia Company and second only to the John Carter
Brown Library of Providence, Rhode Island, in publications. In the Lenox branch
of the New York Library is to be found a unique set of documents relating to the
settlement of Berkeley Hundred in 1619, known as the Smyth of Nibley papers
which ‘‘are from the collection of Virginia manuscripts originally brought together
by John Smyth (or Smith) of Nibley, the historian of the Berkeleys, who was born
in 1567 and died in 1641. The collection comprises over sixty papers, original and
contemporary transcripts, relating to the settlement of Virginia between 1613 and
1634. After passing into the hands of John Smyth the younger, and more recently
into the Cholmondeley collection at Condover Hall, Shropshire, the manuscripts
were offered for sale in January, 1888, by Mr. Bernard Quaritch, from whom
they were lately bought and given to the New York Public Library by Mr. Alex-
ander Maitland.”* With the exception of the manuscripts in the Ferrar collection
relating to Smythe’s Hundred, these form the only extant records of the important
movement for private plantations in Virginia under the régime of the company.
Two other valuable documents are now in the possession of the Lenox Library,’ the
holographic letter of John Pory, secretary of the colony, dated September 30, 1619,
and Commissioner John Harvey’s declaration of the State of Virginia in 1624.
COLLECTIONS OF AMERICANA
The manuscripts in the Library of Congress, the Smyth of Nibley papers in the
New York Public Library, and the patent books in Virginia are the only original
records of the company or of the colony previous to 1625 now in America. But
there are two public collections of Americana which are extremely valuable for this
period: The John Carter Brown Library in Providence, Rhode Island, which
contains only books on America published before the year 1800, and the New York
Public Library.

56 INTRODUCTION
In the John Carter Brown Library are two royal proclamations, which are the
only documents of the character for the period in America; while a declaration of a
division of land in 1616, which is a supplementary pamphlet in the Declaration by
the Company of June 22, 1620, has no duplicate in existence, although there is an
imperfect copy of the latter in the British Museum. The copy of the 1620 declara-
tion in the Lenox Library is also unique, since it contains a different supplementary
pamphlet of which there is but one other to be found, neither of which has hereto-
fore been noted.“ It is a declaration of November 15, 1620, concerning the dispatch
of supplies, and proves by its date that this is a later edition of the declaration of
June 22. The John Carter Brown Library also contains a-unique treatise by John
Brinsley, bearing the date 1622, the only other copy of which is in the Lenox
Library. It has also two sermons, one by Patrick Copland, entitled Virginia’s God
be Thanked,® with duplicates in the possession of Edward E. Ayer, and of the
Pequot Library, Southport, Connecticut, and one by John Donne, of which there
are copies in the Lenox, the Ayer, and the Congressional libraries. In addition
to these rare books, the Declaration of Edward Waterhouse of 1622, containing
‘* The Inconveniences that have happened, 1622,” and Observations to be followed for
making of fit roomes for silk worms, 1620, including ‘* A valuation of the commodi-
ties growing and to be had in Virginia; rated as they are worth,” are to be found in
the Providence collection, while the latter is also in the Harvard and the Lenox
libraries. In the same year a 7reatise on the art of making silk was published by
John Banoeil, containing a royal letter of encouragement to the Earl of Southampton,
now to be found both in the Brown and the Lenox libraries.
The New York Public Library is second only in value to the John Carter
Brown Library for this subject. Jn addition to the books noted above it contains
two unique publications of the company, the first is a broadside of May 17, 1620,
which is the only copy known to the Editor. A catalogue of Bernard Quaritch, in
«The other copy is in a private collection in New York. This library has also the first editions of
the declaration of 1620; the treatise by Banoeil, reprinted in 1622, containing the letters of the King
and of the council; Patrick Copland’s Virginia's God be Thanked, and his Declaration how the monies

Donne’s Sermon, 1622.
o'Pheroe is wonumuseript copy of this sermon in the Library of Congress.
c T'he Inconveniences’’? was published separately ag a broadside, and copies are to be found in
the Lenox Library and in the collections of the Society of Antiquaries, London. A copy was in the
Cholmondeley collection, which is probably the one mentioned in the Quaritch catalogue of May,
1887. This, as also a copy of the Observations, was sold to Mr. Kalbfleisch. The supposition
that it was originally published as a part of the Declaration of Edward Waterhouse does not seem
valid, since the John Carter Brown copy is the only one containing the broadside, and the page
in that case has evidently been trimmed and inserted.

THE COLLECTIONS OF DOCUMENTS, 1616-1624 57
May, 1887, describes such a broadside, which is known to have been purchased by
Mr. Kalbfleisch. The second is A Wote of the Shipping, etc., sent to Virginia in
1621. The Cholmondeley copy of this also was sold by Mr. Quaritch to Mr.
Kalbfleisch.¢ A third copy of the same is in the collection of printed broadsides
of the Society of Antiquaries in London.
The volumes of printed material relating to the Virginia Company, which are in
the Harvard Library, have been mentioned above.
Two private collections deserve mention for their comparatively large number
of important publications of the company, the private collection in New York
and that of Mr. Edward Ayer, in Chicago, Ilinois.? In addition to twenty other
rare publications of the company Mr. Ayer has a unique book entitled ‘‘Greevovs
Grones for the Poore,” 1621. It refers to the Virginia Company in its address
only, and in the statement of the number of poor that had been sent to Virginia,
but is of value for an understanding of that movement. ‘The other private
collection is of about the same size. It contains the duplicate of the 1620
declaration in the Lenox and the only known copy of a four-page tract entitled
‘Declaration how the monies were disposed (being) collections for the Grammar
Schooles,” by Patrick Copland.¢
@In the catalogue of Bernard Quaritch for May, 1887, the broadside of May 17, 1620, and the
Note of the Shipping, 1621, are both noted as being unique since each contains the final clause: ‘‘ Who-
soever transports himself or any other at his own charge unto Virginia, shall for each person so trans-
ported before mid-summer, 1625, have to him and his heirs forever 50 acres of land upon a first
and 50 acres upon a second division.’’ A copy of the Note of the Shipping, 1621, in the Cholmondeley
collection is similarly described in the fifth report of the Historical Manuscripts Commission, page
341. The Quaritch copies were sold to Mr. Kalbfleisch, whose collection went to Mr. Lefferts, and
finally through the dealers, Geo. H. Richmond or Dodd, Mead & Co., either to a private collection or
to the Lenox Library. But the Lenox copies either do not correspond to these descriptions or were
not purchased from Mr. Lefferts. The volumes of the Lefferts collection, which were not sold in
America, were sent to Sotheby, England, but Mr. Eames of the New York Public Library states that
no early Virginia material was allowed to return to England.
>The collection of Americana belonging to Mr. Ayer is open to the public through the
Newberry Library. For the early Virginia material of the library see Index under ‘‘Ayer,
Edward.”’
¢This tract is described in the Appendix of the Fifth Report of the Historical Manuscripts
Comnnission, as follows: ‘fA Declaration how the monies, viz., 70", 8s. 6d., were disposed, which
was gathered (by Mr. Patrick Copland, preacher in the Royal James) at the Cape of Good Hope
(toward the building of a free schoole in Virginia) of the gentlemen and mariners in the said
ship; a list of whose names are under specified, &c. 4°7 pp. Imprinted at London by F. K. 1622.”

58 INTRODUCTION
TRANSCRIPTS IN THE NEW YORK PUBLIC LIBRARY
Other attempts have been made to secure resources for research in America.
Not only is there the aggregation of excerpts from the English documents in
Richmond, as described above, and the acquisition of transcripts in the Library
of Congress within recent years, but half a century ago a similar interest was
displayed by collectors and historians in New York City, forming three collec-
tions which are to-day in the Lenox Library.
William H. Aspinwall, a merchant, secured among other papers the Chalmers
collection of letters and documents relating to Virginia from 1606 to 1775. They
were in turn sold to Samuel Latham Mitchell Barlow, a lawyer and notable
collector of New York City, from whom a part were purchased by the library,
while others came to the Lenox with the Bancroft transcripts in 1893. Chalmers
had been a clerk in the State paper office and seems to have taken these
extracts, outlines, and sometimes full copies from the Plantation office papers,
since he continually refers to them in his Poldtical Annals. They are modern-
ized transcripts, failing to follow the early orthography, abbreviations, and
capitalization. The writing is cramped and often almost illegible, while the
table of contents is incomplete and useless. ‘They comprise (1) a series of brief
outlines of Privy Council orders; (2) extracts from the Dudley-Carleton papers;
(3) outlines of additional Council orders; (4) a calendar of certain of the colonial
State papers; (5) outlines of council orders dealing with other trading companies.
All of the original documents are at present in the Public Record Office and are
noted in the Bibliographical List of Records following.
The Bancroft papers relating to Virginia and the Simancas Archives are well
bound, clear, and apparently careful, correct, and full copies of the documents
included. ‘The first two volumes of the Bancroft collection bearing on the Virginia
Company are transcripts of many of the documents in the State paper office,
probably made in 1852 by Noel Sainsbury, but the list is not complete. While
the peculiar and characteristic signs of abbreviation are not followed, the orthog-
raphy seems to be accurate throughout. Furthermore, the collection includes
the document entire, unless otherwise indicated. The table of contents is carfeul
and correct.? The ‘‘Simancas Archives” is a volume of transcripts of ‘* Papers
in the Simancas Archives relating to the History of Virginia and other portions
aSee a statement by Victor H. Paltsits, April 14, 1896, inserted in the first volume of these
papers now in the Lenox.
» The documents transcribed in both the Chalmers-Barlow and the Bancroft volumes are noted
in the List of Records under ‘‘ Remarks.’’

THY COLLECTIONS OF DOCUMENTS, 1616-1624 59
of America between 1608 and 1624, made for Alexander Brown and many of
them used by him in his book, Zhe Genesis of the U. S.” The only document
relating to Virginia which is not reproduced in that collection is a repetition
of the proclamation of the King of England concerning tobacco, bearing the date
Novombnr 12, 1624.
COLLECTIONS IN ENGLAND
FERRAR PAPERS
The most unique collection in England for the study of the Virginia Company
is that in the possession of Magdelene College, Cambridge. -As the property of
Nicholas and John Ferrar, who were second only to Sir Edwin Sandys in their
activity in the company, it would be invaluable; but its importance is further
enhanced by the fact that it contains the correspondence and papers of Sir Edwin
Sandys himself. These seventy-eight papers, which are either records of the
company or vitally concern it, cover the period of the Sandys-Southampton influence
from 1617 to the summer of 1623. They were the property of Dr. Peckard,
master of Magdalene College in 1790, and were bequeathed to the college upon his
death. It is probable that the greater part of the collection came from the Ferrar
family through Dr. Peckard’s wife, Martha Ferrar, the great granddaugher of
John Ferrar, since the Virginia papers form but one-third of the group. The remain-
ing papers concern family affairs only, and date from 1601 to the middle of the
eighteenth century. Some of them are doubtless those received from the Earl of
Dorset by Dr. Peckard, when he was preparing his Memoirs of Nicholas Ferrar.¢
The first knowledge of the Ferrar papers in later years was communicated to
the Virginia Magazine of History by Michael Lloyd Ferrar, Little Gidding, Ealing,
Kngland. He sent a number of transcripts and photographs of letters to the maga-
zine for publication, among which were some half dozen bearing on the affairs of
the company, but the number which he was permitted to reproduce was limited
by the college. While Mr. Ferrar was completing a history of the Ferrar family
the entire collection was deposited at his home, and it was therefore in Ealing in the
fall of 1903 that the Editor was first permitted by the authorities of the college to
‘‘see and note the contents” of the papers. Before the following summer Mr. Ferrar
had died and the collection had been returned to Cambridge, where complete trans-
cripts of all letters and photographs of all documents relating to the Virginia
Company were made for the Library of Congress under the supervision of the
Editor.
“In this work Dr. Peckard states that the Earl of Dorset had had his library searched and
had sent him a few loose papers belonging to the Virginia Company.

60 INTRODUCTION
These papers are loose, many of them being much damaged, and it is apparent
that they are a part of a larger collection which must have been neglected while in
the possession of the family. There are some envelopes without letters, many
rough memoranda by both Nicholas and John Ferrar, some account books, and some
rough drafts of petitions to the House of Commons and of discussions on the
silkworm. The autographs which they furnish of both Nicholas and John Ferrar
have been of no little interest, as well as value, for the identification of other papers
in the Public Record Office, and in the Library of Congress. Furthermore, the
proof that Nicholas Ferrar himself supervised the transcript of the court book is
thus gained. :
In this collection are twenty-three papers which are veritable records of the
company.* Two documents give our only knowledge of the financial affairs of
Smythe’s Hundred, slight indeed, but from them comes additional information
concerning the system of organization of the societies for private adventure. Sundry
other unique though scattered documents are among these papers, such as receipts
for money expended, showing the method of business, reports of committees, and of
proceedings of the commissioners, revealing the bitterness of the factions, drafts or
original records of certain courts, forming the only proof of the accuracy of the
copies of the court books, and three new proceedings of the courts of the Somers
Islands Company. One of the latter is evidently a blotter and reveals the methods
used in keeping the court book. The guo warranto in English, which was served
upon the treasurer and company, would have been of the greatest value had not the
original record of the suit in the King’s Bench just been discovered. Another
document of great value is the receipt referred to above, which proves that a court
book was regularly kept by the company from its very beginning. It reveals how
much has been lost.
The series, consisting of twenty letters from Sir Edwin Sandys to John Ferrar,
shows more clearly than any other documents we possess? who the real managers of
the affairs were and what was the spirit of the Sandys faction. The absolute confidence
which Sir Edwin Sandys had in John Ferrar and his great love for both of the brothers
is significant. Moreover, the knowledge of the affairs of the company, the careful
watch over every act and movement affecting the business, the deep and earnest
plans for the advancement of its interests revealed in these Ictters prove that Sir
Kdwin Sandys was the keen financial manager of the undertaking. It was evidently
he who determined what the policy should be; he was apparently the statesman

the quo warranto.

and the politician, directing the method of address to the lords of the council or the
attitude to be assumed toward the Crown, controlling the courts so that he might be
present when there was danger of faction, concealing the information received from
the colony when he feared it would entail criticism. Much of the personal feeling
and animosity that existed is here shown, and much also which reveals actual
financial conditions.
The last group of these papers comprises thirty-five letters, all but one or two
‘of which were written by planters or adventurers, resident in the colony, to Sir
Edwin Sandys.“ Of these, five came from Governor Yeardley, ten from either John
Pory or George Thorpe, secretaries in the colony at different times, and two from
the cape merchant; of the remainder, at least ten are from colonists whose opinions
and reports have not reached us in any other way. These letters are as full of
complaint with regard to the insufficient supplies sent with new planters, as are the
letters in the Manchester papers which Sir Nathaniel Rich and the Earl of Warwick
used as a basis of accusation against the management of the company, but they
differ from the other complaints in that they are kindly in spirit. Mr. Pory’s letters
are full of definite information concerning the affairs, needs, and hopes of the
colony, while Governor Yeardley also gives some valuable statements with regard to
new settlers, the council, the relations with the Indians, and the government of the
colony; both complain of the scant provisioning of the new settlers. The burden of
the Yeardley letters, however, is the investigation of the affairs of Captain Argall
and the consequent criticism drawn upon himself from Lord Rich. Unfortunately,
comparatively few additional data are afforded concerning the Argall affair either by
Pory or by Yeardley. The planters themselves tell much of their condition and of
the districts in which they have settled, but the theme of their letters is most likely
to be a demand for promised payments or a complaint as to the scarcity of provisions
and clothes. The attitude toward Yeurdley is generally favorable, John Rolfe alone
supporting Argall and criticizing the governor. As from all correspondence of
such a character, new ideas are gained, new points of view, and often additional
knowledge of relations with the Indians and with one another. Many of these
letters are annotated by John Ferrar, revealing the degree of importance which he
attached to their various and often conflicting statements.
PUBLIO RECORD OFFICE—MANCHESTER PAPERS
A class of documents, very similar in character but of quite different spirit, is
the Manchester papers, now in the Public Record Office, London. Robert, Earl of
Warwick, and his cousin, Sir Nathaniel Rich, were both members of the company.

62 INTRODUCTION
Sir Nathaniel was a leader in the Warwick faction, while Earl Robert, after the
dissolution of the company in 1624, became a member of the council for Virginia.
The third wife of the Earl was Eleanor, Countess of Sussex, daughter of Richard
Wortley, and she, after the death of the Earl of Warwick, married, as her fourth
husband, Edward Montague, second Earl of Manchester. Thus it is that the
Kimbolton manuscripts, which are the records of the Duke of Manchester, contain
a large collection of petitions, declarations, memoranda, letters, and lists which
emanated from the Warwick faction of the Virginia Company.* Many of these are
holographs of Nathaniel Rich and Alderman Johnson, prime movers in that conflict.
Henry Montague, Viscount Mandeville and later Karl.of Manchester, was at one
time lord president of the Privy Council. Therefore many of the Manchester papers
may have belonged to him. The autographs, however, identify those which concern
the Virginia Company as having belonged to Nathaniel Rich.
The Manchester and the Ferrar papers therefore present the two sides of this
conflict, not in open court or even in private contest, but in the private documents
and memoranda of the leaders. The collections are of about the same size, there
being sixty-six papers in the Manchester series, to seventy-eight in the Ferrar group.
These, also, are unbound, but since the greater part are rough notes of documents,
or drafts of propositions or speeches, they are much more difficult to decipher than
the Ferrar papers. Indeed many of them are almost illegible, and not a few are
unintelligible, having no connecting thought.
A dozen of these papers may be considered documentary; that is, rough copies
of letters, petitions, and declarations, or of acts of the company, or of its members
and officers in an oflicial capacity. A few of these only are to be found among the
other records of the company. Like the rest of the set, they, almost without
exception, concern the accusations against the Sandys-Southampton management.
Three of them are petitions or letters concerning the extent of the tobacco trade,
but the rest are petitions to the King against one faction or the other, and answers
to those petitions. Of these, one of the most important is a copy of the opinion
of counsel concerning the powers conferred on the Virginia Company by the
several letters patent.? Accusation and defense are set forth in these documents,
but the headings of speeches, the drafts of propositions, and the notes from docu-
ments on which the arguments are based proclaim the motives and methods of the
accusers. No proof could be clearer than these memoranda by Alderman Johnson
and Nathaniel Rich that the company was to be overthrown by fair means or foul.
In two or three papers are carefully prepared lists of alleged evil deeds of Sir
«These Manchester papers are calendared by the Royal Commission on Historical Manuscripts,

Edwin Sandys and catalogues of the faults and errors of the company, while the
criticisms of the policy and of the management of the company are set down in
order, based on letters from colonists, of which there are eleven in the collection.
In these criticisms and drafts of propositions much information is afforded
concerning the management, organization, und condition of the colony and com-
pany. ‘Thus, various books kept by the company during Sir ‘Thomas Smythe’s
time, and not otherwise known, are mentioned.“ Five or six rough drafts of
propositions concerning the tobacco and salary question are also to be found
here, as well as numerous statements of sums adventured, of the number of men
sent to the colony, lists of members favorable to one faction or the other and
candidates for office from both parties. Many of the rough notes of both Johnson
and Rich furnish the only source of information concerning the directions given
to the commissioners appointed by the Crown to investigate the condition of the
company and of the colony and their acts and reports, but a fact of greater sig-
nificance is this, that the Warwick collection contains a dozen rough drafts of
directions to those commissioners, of charges against the company to be sent to
that body, of preliminary reports concerning the government of Virginia, and of
projects for the settlement of the government and the colony. The source of the
schism is here revealed, and the accusation by Sandys that accuser and judge were
one is justified.’
COLONIAL AND DOMESTIC STATE PAPERS
The other large group of Virginia records, consisting of over one hundred
and twenty separate documents, is found among the colonial and domestic papers
deposited in the Public Record Office. The source of this collection is uncertain.
Much of it came from the Plantation Office, and perhaps from the Privy Council
Office. The consolidation of depositories took place in 1578, but the efforts of
Dr. Thomas Wilson, the first clerk of the papers, to force the previous and
incumbent magistrates to hand over all documents to the State, were evidently
often unavailing, and hence it was that the creation of a State Paper Office was
not really accomplished until the period of the company. After Sir Thomas
Wilson succeeded his uncle during the reign of James I the aid of the King was
much relied upon, and, though partially successful, the recent revelation of quasi-
public documents in private collections shows that not only earlier but later
officials considered papers of record private property.“ Thus some of the Salis-

64 INTRODUCTION
bury papers, which Wilson failed to secure, are now at Hatfield House; and others
have passed with the Lansdowne collection into the British Museum, where they
are known as the Burghley papers. Similarly, the Cottonian papers in the Museum
originally belonged to Sir Robert Cotton in the time of James I.
Among the State Papers deposited in the Record Office are the letters to
John Ferrar, dated from Virginia in April, 1623, which may have been seized by
the commission appointed on May 9, 1623, to investigate the affairs of the com-
pany. There, too, are found the attested copies of letters and records in the
colony which concern the Harvey Commission, sent to the commission in England
by Edward Sharpless. A few of these papers seem to have belonged to the
company, such as the documents pertaining to the Walloons and dated 1621;
Pory’s report from Virginia, in the same year; and two copies of documents by
Collingwood, dated the latter part of 1623.¢ All of these facts lead to the con-
clusion that a part of the records of the commissions, and a part of the confis-
cated records of the company are here deposited. If so, where are the remainder
of these most valuable documents? ?
The colonial papers and the domestic correspondence include about forty-eight
which are records, and about nineteen which are documentary in character.
The first group contains, umong other papers, many of the petitions and letters
addressed to the King and to the Privy Council, and many others of the council. It
is thus apparent that the royal correspondence of the Privy Council and the Privy
Council papers which should accompany the register are in this collection. To the
second group belong those papers which contain projects presented by individuals and
answers to such propositions, lists of adventures for the company, and also lists
of men sent to the colony and of lands granted in Virginia. Among these papers
are seven letters from colonists, in addition to about fifty which may be consid-
ered subsidiary correspondence in that they refer incidentally to the affairs of
the company. Such are the Mandeville-Conway, Middlesex-Conway, Chamberlain-
Carleton, Conway-Calvert, and Nethersole-Carleton letters.
RECORDS OF COURTS
In the libels of the admiralty court, instance and prize, are found records of
suits in which the Virginia Company is plaintiff. As a part of the controversy in
which William Wye appears as defendant is the suit of Yonge ws. Roberts;
while the fragment of the record of the Earl of Warwick vs. Edward Bruister

THE COLLECTIONS OF DOCUMENTS, 1616-1624 65
concerning the trouble over the ships Meptune and Treasurer completes the list of
cases in that court which in any way affect the Virginia Company. ‘The latter is so
torn and defaced that but for an occasional date or fact, it affords no information of
value. Among the other formal material of the suit against Wye are two valuable
documents, namely, the commission given to Wye and a letter from the treasurer
and council to Sir George Yeardley, dated June 21, 1619. In the latter are valuable
references to Argall, and the complaints against Wye, though torn and illegible,
reveal something of the loss estimated as resulting from the failure to settle the
passengers in Virginia. These records of the admiralty court have not hereto-
fore been published, although they were cited by R. G. Marsden in his discussion
of those documents. But the chancery files, which have furnished the records
of suits by the Virginia Company, have only just been indexed, and hence the
documents have not heretofore been known.
The record of the guo warranto suit by which the Virginia Company was over-
thrown has been erroneously declared to be not extant, a mistake due to a differ-
ence in view with regard to the court out of which such a writ would be issued
and as to the court in which the writ would be returnable. Hence the search
for the document has hitherto been conducted in the Petty Bag of the Chancery
instead of in the coram rege roll of the King’s Bench. It was in the latter roll that
the full record of the writ, the pleadings, and the judgment were discovered by the
Editor in the fall of 1903.2. In A Gudde to the Documents in the Public Record Office
Mr. Bird gives the following explanation of the placita de quo warranto: They
‘‘consist of the pleadings and judgments on writs of ‘quo warranto’ in nature of
writs of right on behalf of the King against those who claimed or usurped any
oftice, franchise, or liberty. The pleadings and judgments on writs of ‘quo war-
ranto’ or of ‘quo titulo clamat’ took place in the King’s Bench or the Exchequer
and are enrolled on the ‘coram rege rolls’ or the ‘memoranda rolls’ accordingly.”¢
The statement in the court book of the company is that the ‘‘company had been
served with process out of the King’s Bench by virtue of a quo warranto.” It was
this clue and that from Mr. Scargill-Bird that.led the Editor to conduct the search
successfully in the coram rege roll.
In the Record Oflice are also the docquet books, which afford some knowledge
of the grants of the King affecting the customs on tobacco, and the patent rolls,
@R. G. Marsden, ‘‘ Records of the Admiralty Court’? in the Transactions of the Royal Historical
Society, new series, Vol. XVI, 90-96. Many parts of these records are undecipherable, and as a
result the transcripts made for the Library of Congress are incomplete.

66 INTRODUCTION
which contain the letters patent of 1606, 1609, and 1612. In the colonial entry
books and among the proclamations of the King are orders of the Privy Council
and of the King, all of which are recorded in the Privy Council register.
PRIVY COUNCIL REGISTER
Since the Privy Council took no direct part in the affairs of the company
between 1617 and the summer of 1622, its orders related to those regulations which
would enable the acts of the company to advance the interests of the kingdom, leaving
absolute power to the company as the proprietor. ‘Thus fully one-half of its thirty
measures during those five years were reprieves of prisoners, with the warrants nec-
essary to send them to Virginia or orders enabling children to be transferred from
the cities of the kingdom to the colony. During this period the Crown commenced
its attempts to secure a revenue from the tobacco trade, and a series of orders finally
resulted in the approval of the contract with the company in February of 1622/3.
In its foreign and external relations the company was of course subject to the action
of the Privy Council, and hence the orders in council concerned the contest with
Spain over the attack of the Zreasurer. Furthermore, the disagreement with the
northern colony concerning fishing privileges had to be adjusted by the council and
resulted in the renewal of the patent to the northern colony and in regulations as
to rights of fishing. It was in the summer of 1622 that the first movement was
made which brought the difficulties between the factions into the open board.
The petition of John Bargrave against Sir Thomas Smythe, Alderman Johnson,
and others, in which they were accused of mismanagement, resulted in the defeat of
Bargrave six months later, as was to have been expected from the hostility of the
Crown to the party in Parliament led by Sir Edwin Sandys, of which Bargrave
was evidently a member at that time. But the storm broke in the following April,
when the commission was appointed to inquire into the true state of the Virginia
and Somers Islands companies. Irom that date until the dissolution of the com-
pany in the summer of 1624 the council busied itself with the affairs of the company.
No less than 31 orders are recorded which create commissions and empower them
to investigate both the colony and the company and in the end to assume the
functions of government in the name of the Crown, while seven of these documents
pass directly between the council and the colony, and no other measures were con-
sidered except those which enabled the Warwick faction to tear down the work of
the adventurers and to take into its own hands the control of the entire business.
These forms of government, planned by the Crown and the commissions here
recorded, by which the authority was vested in the commissioners and later in a
committee of the Privy Council, stand for the beginning of royal control. Here-

THE COLLECTIONS OF DOCUMENTS, 1616-1624 67
tofore, with a few exceptions, these orders have been known only through the
calendar of state papers, and even then not more than one-half have been included.
The Privy Council Oflice and its records are located in the treasury building,
Whitehall, London; the registers of the council orders are kept in the clerk’s office
but all of the carly registers are properly about to be transferred to the Public
Record Oflice. These registers contain the orders of the council, und, after
Charles I, also the petitions received and the letters issued by the council. In
the earlier reigns such documents were not recorded; whether they were even
preserved as public documents is not certain, although, as stated above, many of
them have found their way to the Record Office and are there calendared among
the colonial, domestic, or foreign papers. There is a collection of such original
material, dating from the close of the seventeenth century, in the treasury building.
BRITISH MUSEUM
The collection of manuscripts from which the most valuable returns might be
expected is in the British Museum. The documents there deposited are small in
number but they are of great value, and none of them have heretofore been printed.
The originals of the precedents for patents of the Virginia Company, which are now
noted for the first time, evidently formed a part of the records of the company, and
it may be that they are some of the copies of the records made under the supervision
of Nicholas Ferrar, or they may be the drafts of patents which were filed by the
company according to an order of its court. Not only is the writing similar to much
of that in the contemporary transcripts of the court book, but they are unsigned
copies, and the headings of a number of them seem to be in the autograph of Edward
Collingwood. ‘The caption of the series shows that the copies were made for the sake
of preserving the form, and reads as follows: ‘‘ Presidents of Patents, Grants &
Commissioners by the Virginia Company. 1621.”® ‘The company thus preserved the
legal form of the various grants. Four of them are of value not only for the form
but for the knowledge they furnish of the distinction made between the four classes
of adventurers: those who paid money into the treasury and agreed to plant one
hundred persons, those who established a private plantation, those who were private
planters, and those whose ‘‘shares exceedinge 50 ac are exempted from payinge
any Rent to y* Company for the persons they transporte.” In addition certain
knowledge is afforded concerning the grants. Two out of the other nine documents
are commissions granted to owners and masters of ships for voyages to Virginia, by
@ The clerk’s office is entered from Downing street, but the library containing the original docu-
ments must be reached through the main entrance on Whitehall.

68 INTRODUCTION
which they are to transport passengers to Virginia. Another is a covenant by the
company to pay for the victualing and transporting of passengers, while still another
is for the transporting of goods only. Other forms are those used for granting
rights of fishing on the coast of America, for voyages to Virginia, and free fishing
along the shores, and others still for discovery, fishing, and trading in furs in
Virginia. The covenant signed by William [wens in which he agreed to fit out the
ship George reveals the form of contract required of the masters of ships by the
company.
‘These papers form the last group in a volume which contains ‘‘ A Catalogue of
the Nobility of England in the time of King James the first,” 1626, and ‘A list
of all the Officers belonging to Courts of Justice the Kings houschold & Reuenue
w' their seuerall fees.” There are several signs for identification, but none which
indicate the original owner of the volume. 1t is a small quarto in leather, bearing
the signature, ‘‘ H Cowle A. 29,” on the inner cover, and also the arms of James
Bindley with the motto, ‘‘unus et idem.” At the bottom of the same cover is
written the following: ‘* Purchased at the sale of W. Berwicks library at Sotheby’s,
27 Apr. 1863. (Lot 427),” while on the second fly leaf in the upper right-hand
corner is the inscription: ‘‘The gift of M* Dan' Prince, Bookseller. Oxford—July
23! 1776.” Farther than this the history of the papers is unknown.
Another set of documents in the Museum is also unique. One of these sup-
plies all that is known outside of the court book and a single reference in Argall’s
register book regarding the controversy over the grant of land to John Martin in
Virginia. The other letters from Martin to his brother-in-law, Sir Julius Cesar,
written in December, 1622, give startling suggestions with regard to an ideal policy
for the colony. ‘*The manner howe to bringe in the Indians into subiection w'
out makinge an utter extirpation of them...” is the heading of the paper in
which Martin proposes to disable the main body of the enemy by cutting them
off from their sources of supply at home and by destroying their trade. He would
thus require two hundred soldiers ‘* Contynuallie harrowinge and burneinge all their
Townes in wynter.” By this means and by gaining a store of grain for two years’
supply, he plans for the recovery from the massacre. In order to secure the entire
territory from the Indians, in a second letter he propounds a scheme by which the
Crown or the company can make a ‘Royall plantation for gods glory his Ma’;
and Royall progenyes euer happines and the Companies exceedinge good.” The
responsibility and control was to be thrown upon the shires of Kngland. The
fact that the Martin letters have not heretofore been generally known may be due
to an error in the catalogue. They appear under the name ‘‘Tho, Martin” instead
of ‘‘Jho. Martin.” ¢

THE COLLECTIONS OF DOCUMENTS, 1616-1624 69
Two other projects for the advancement of the colony are in the same collection
of papers; one by Captain Bargrave, brother of the Dean of Canterbury, is dated
December 8, 1623, and the other a year later. The latter relates to the division of
income from tobacco between the King, the planter, and the grower, with a reward
to those endeavoring to preserve the plantation, but approves the Ditchfield offer.
The Ditchfield offer itself is also in this collection.¢ Captain Bargrave’s proposition
for the government of the colony stands midway between absolute royal control
and full autonomy of the planters, and holds an important place in the develop-
ment of the plans from the proprietary to the royal colony. Furthermore, it is
rather significant that in the collection of Sir Julius Cesar are to be found the propo-
sitions of Martin, of Bargrave, and the document by which the commission was
finally appointed in 1624, to establish the government in Virginia under royal control.
Sir Julius Cesar, having been a judge of admiralty under Elizabeth and chancellor
of the exchequer in the reign of James I, became master of the rolls on January
16, 1610/11, and one of the keepers of the great seal on May 3, 1621. His position
evidently enabled him to secure a large collection of valuable drafts of documents.
This was sold at auction in 1757. One-third of the collection was purchased by the
Earl of Shelburne (Lord Lansdowne) from Webb and came to the Museum among
the Lansdowne papers.
Two collections of printed material of the company are to be found in England,
the British Museum and the Society of Antiquaries. While the British Museum has
a large number of the earlier publications, it possesses only the declaration of June
22, 1620, and also the unique note of shipping of 1620, the only other copy of which
is owned by the Society of Antiquaries. The collection of that society is rich in
royal proclamations, besides possessing a copy of the Note of Shipping, 1621, and
of the Znconveniences of 1622. ‘The scattering documents to be found in private
collections throughout England are often valuable, but nowhere else is to be found
any considerable number of papers or any that are of great importance.’
@ List of Records, Nos. 604 and 733.
b¥or those documents in private collections, see the List of Records. In the concluding section
of this ‘‘ Introduction ”’ will be found a discussion of the collections which have been searched in vain
for material relating tothe VirginiaCompany. Furthermore, a statement will there be found of those
families in whose possession we should expect to find Virginia records, because of their connection with
the men prominent in the company or in the commissions which supplanted the company. A very
helpful article, entitled ‘‘The Stuart Papers,’’ is published by Mrs. 8. C. Lomas, in the Transactions of
the Royal Historical Society, new series, X VI, 97-132.

4. Ohe Records of the Gaompany wunier the
Sandys-Southampton Administration
ORGANIZATION OF THE CoMPANY
In order to comprehend what the records of the company were and what their
value, it is necessary to gain an understanding of the system which the corporation
worked out in order to further its purposes. The forms and usages of the company
after 1619 were determined by the charters granted by the King and by the ‘‘ Orders
and Constitutions” which it adopted in 1619 and printed in June, 1620,? although the
latter were altered or newly interpreted from time to time by action of its courts.
The membership of the company was unlimited and was granted by the courts
to anyone who had ‘‘adventured” £12 10s. for a share of stock or to whom the com-
pany had awarded a share of stock for services.? The distinction between a member
who was free of the company and an owner of land in Virginia was brought out in a
controversy on February 19, 1622/3, in which a proposition to limit the adventurers
to those approved by the generality met with opposition on the ground that land in
Virginia was held in free and common socage and could not be forbidden to any man.
But Sir John Brooke, the legal authority in the company, declared that such exclusion
was agreeable to the law since it was a question of a vote in a court and not a ques-
tion of ownership of land. The argument was based on the power to withhold the
privilege of voting from Samuel Wroth, who was under censure, and similarly on
the power to exclude any man who had purchased land from a member who was
indebted to the company until the debts were paid. This discussion also revealed
that no oath of fidelity was required in the Virginia Company as in the Muscovy
and other corporations. Ata later date the King proposed that no member should
be free of the courts who had not sent men to the colony as planters, claiming that
less than thirty of the adventurers could meet the requirement.° The power to dis-
franchise an unworthy member was reserved to the company.

79 INTRODUCTION
The members met in four great or quarter courts, held on the last Wednesday
except onc of each law term. On the Monday preceding they assembled in a prepar-
ative court and on every Wednesday fortnight thereafter in a common or ordinary
court, as required by the charter of 1612; and they might also be summoned to
an extraordinary court by the treasurer or deputy. ‘The meetings were held in the
private houses of various members of the company“ until the time of the tobacco
contract, when a company house was established.
In the quarter court the adventurers elected all councilors and principal officers
of the company and colony, made all laws and ordinances, confirmed all grants of
land, settled all questions of trade, and passed all measures which should bind the
company for a term of years. Their action with regard to questions of a new charter
and of investment for the colony was legal only when transacted in a quarter court,
but they might transfer to other courts actions which concerned correspondence
with the lord treasurer or similar business. Fifteen of the generality and five
of the council formed a quorum for the ordinary courts, and in those they signed
warrants, ordered the payment of bills passed by the auditors, and sealed bills of
adventure. In that meeting also were perfected commissions for transportation
of men and provisions and for trade and barter. Special officers and committees
were appointed in this court, and even actions of great importance, such as the
dissolution of the magazine or the extension of freedom of the company to hon-
orary members, were consummated.?
The officers chosen by the company were a council, a treasurer, a deputy,
auditors, a general committee of sixteen, a secretary, a bookkeeper, a husband, and
a beadle. The adventurers looked to the treasurer or governor not only as the
president and moderator, but as the manager of their business interests, and expected
him to be responsible for the policy of the company in its relations with the govern-
ment and to formulate and present plans for the development of the plantation and
the profit of the adventurers. To him was entrusted the supervision of the treasury
and the collection of moneys.
The care of the court books was given to the deputy. It was his duty to attend
to the engrossing of the orders and resolutions of the courts, the registration of
letters to and from the company, and the formulation of statements to be given to
the public. Ho also kept the court of the committees and supervised the issue of
warrants,
The council was a body, gradually increasing in size, elected for life, and was
sworn by the lord chancellor or by the lord chamberlain. In the earlier years it was
the most important committee of the generality of the company, but after 1621 its

UNDER THE SANDYS-SOUTHAMPTON ADMINISTRATION 73
duties seem oftentimes to have been assigned to the auditors or to special committees.
According to the ‘Orders and Constitutions” its chief care was the preparation of
laws for the company and for the colony, the issue of instructions to the governor
and council of the colony, and the formation of a preliminary court for the trial of
the officers of the company or of the colony. But the practice in the courts was to
refer to it those diflicult duties for which its titled and distinguished personnel made
it especially fit. ‘To it was referred, as a final resort, the examination of the claims of
John Martin, the attempts to gain a statement of accounts from the old magazine,
and the settlement or arbitration of both the Bargrave and the Argall cases. ¢
A body called the ‘‘committees” was at first composed of twelve members, six
being chosen annually, but later the number was increased to sixteen, four being
elected anew each year.? Its duties were chiefly to attend to the buying and
selling of the commodities of the company, and to the furnishing of ships departing
for Virginia.
The auditors formed the other important standing committee, composed of
seven members, elected annually. The chief duty assigned to them by the ‘‘ Orders
and Constitutions” was that of reducing to a book the receipts and expenditures.
The court book discloses the fact that the company imposed upon them the burden
of examining all claims against the company, as well as all claims of the company, of
investigating the accounts of the lottery and of the magazine, of determining the
awards of land or of shares for service or for adventure, of perfecting all patents and
grants, and even of investigating controversies, such as the Bargrave and Martin
cases and the dispute as to the seal and coat of arms.°¢
The other officers performed such duties as usually pertain to those who hold
the corresponding titles.¢
As the business of the company increased additional officers were chosen, as
those for the control and execution of the lotteries and of the tobacco contract; while
the custom of referring,important matters to special committees grew rapidly, until
in the later years many duties were transferred to them from the council, and even
from the auditors. In this way such affairs as the securing of men to send to the

T4 INTRODUCTION
colony, the provisioning of ships, the hearing of petitions, the investigating of claims,
the sending of maids to the colony, the planning for new settlements and industries,
the representing of the interests of the company in Parliament, the defending of the
company in the suit of the guo warranto were intrusted to special committees.4
METILODS OF PROOEDURK
In order to secure legality of action, the ‘‘Orders and Constitutions” were
read at one quarter court each year, since in those meetings the measures of great
importance were determined.? That the forms and usages followed in other com-
mercial companies, in other corporate bodies, and in Parliament greatly influenced
the decisions of the company is seen in the following illustrations: The question
as to the entry in the minutes of the names of dissenters or of reasons disallowed
by the court except by special order was thus settled according to the practice
in Parliament; to prove that individual adventurers would not be liable for the
debts of the company in the management of the tobacco magazine, decisions were
cited both in a case involving the corporation of Norwich, and in the insolvency
of the Muscovy Company; when the question arose as to salaries in the tobacco
business involving £100,000, the precedent furnished by all joint stocks of no greater
capital than £7,000 was brought forward; the custom of private corporations as
well as of judicial bodies of imposing a fine upon any man who spoke against the
judge or the court was urged by Lord Brooke as a proper action to be taken
against Samuel Wroth.° Elections were conducted by ballot, except for the council,
in which case, as in all other matters, the will of the court was determined by an
‘‘erection of hands.”
The reward for services rendered by the officers was determined by the court
and set down in the Orders and Constitutions. The annual payment to the secre-
tary was £20, to the beadle £40, to the husband £50, and to the bookkeeper
£50. Although the chief officials and committees received no salary, at the expira-
tion of the year’s term of office it was customary to award 20 acres of land in
Virginia to each individual, with the provision that such land should not be sold.
The company similarly rewarded individuals who had rendered great service, but
sometimes it granted shares of stock instead, or agreed to transport for the indi-
vidual a certain number of men free of charge. Shares thus given could not be sold
below par value of £12 10s.¢ Each share carried with it the privilege of a vote in

the courts and the receipt of 100 acres of land in Virginia on the first division, with a
similar amount on the second division providing the first section had been peopled.
In addition, the sending of a man to the plantation before midsummer of 1625
entitled the adventurer to 50 acres of land on each division. If a planter had
adventured his person only, after three yeurs’ residence in the colony the company
gave him one share of stock; or if a resident in Mngland had sent a man to the
colony who had remained there three years, the one who bore the charge was simi-
larly rewarded. Through reward or by purchase an individual might thus own land
and not possess stock, but he might secure the latter within three years by ‘‘ plant-
ing” or peopling his land. The result was that there were five classes of individuals
connected with the company.
(1) The old adventurer who had paid at least £12 10s. for a share of stock,
and who thus owned, rent free, at least 100 acres of land after the first division
which took place in 1616.
(2) The new adventurer who had exactly the same privileges, except that after
seven years he must pay 12d. to the company for each 50 acres gained by trans
portation of settlers.
(3) The adventurer who received a share of stock for service or for adventure
of person and who would have the privileges of an old or of a new adventurer
according to whether he received the award before or after 1619.
(4) The individual who had received a grant of land for service or who had
purchased land and had not yet gained the grant of shares of stock by adventure
of his person or by sending out planters.
(5) The individual who had purchased land of a debtor of the company and
could not become free of the courts until the debts were paid.
It will thus be seen that ownership of land and possession of freedom of the
company were not always coexistent, but that each involved the possibility of the
other. No assessments were ever levied upon the shareholders, the first sugges-
tion of such a course coming from the Privy Council in July, 1623.°
RECORDS PROVIDED FOR BY THE COMPANY
The company was thus a body of adventurers, who had gained the freedom
of the company by payment of money, by vendering a service, or by settlement
of land in Virginia. It was presided over by a treasurer chosen by itself at will,
and conducted all of its business through its regularly elected officers or committees,
or by special committees. According to the ‘‘Orders and Constitutions” it kept

76 INTRODUCTION
a complete record of its actions in the courts and compelled its officers and
committees to do the same. Provision was thus made for six books which were
to contain the following records:
(1) Copies of the letters patents, and also of all letters, orders, and directions
from the King and his council, as well as the replies of the company.
(2) The laws and standing orders passed in quarter courts for the company
and for the colony.
(3) A register of all patents, charters, and indentures of validity granted by
the company, of all instructions issued by the council, and of all public letters
sent to or received from Virginia.
(4) The acts of the general courts.
(5) The acts of the committees; invoices of provisions sent to Virginia by
the company; the certificates of the receipts to be returned from Virginia; invoices
of goods sent from Virginia with the husband’s certificate of receipt or defect.
(6) The names of adventurers, by payment of money or by rendering service,
to whom shares of land had been given, together with the number of shares
belonging to each person; the lawful transfers of shares from one to another;
the names of His Majesty’s council for Virginia.
(6a) The names of all planters in Virginia on the public and on the private
plantations separately, based on the certificates from the governor and council in
Virginia and from the heads of each plantation.¢
All of these books were in the custody of the Secretary, and were to be
kept in the company’s chest, together with the originals of the letters patents
and all other papers. In his custody also were the husband’s books of accounts
of every voyage to Virginia, all accounts approved by the auditors, the canceled
and uncanceled charter parties, and all bonds issued to the company.
The proof of the care with which the company kept its records is found in
the contemporary copy of the court book, and in a few scattering originals and
copies of originals which are preserved among the Ferrar and Manchester papers
and in the British Museum. That all of the books required by the orders and
constitutions were really kept can not be proved, since not a page nor a copy of
a page of many of them is known to be extant; but the copy of the court book
serves as an evidence that the laws were as carefully obeyed in this respect as
in others. The references in the minutes to many of these records, the inser-
tion of many of them in the copy of the court book, and the continual provision
for supplementary records all go to show that the ‘‘Orders and Constitutions”
furnish a reliable outline of the records kept by the company.

UNDER THE SANDYS-SOUTHAMPTON ADMINISTRATION rae
The books which the courts added to the list of records from time to time
reveal un increasing effort to conduct the business in an orderly manner. Imme-
diately upon assuming his duties as treasurer, Sir Kdwin Sandys instituted an
investigation of the accounts of Sir Thomas Smythe. In this connection four
books and four rolls were prepared containing the subscriptions, which had been
made for carrying on the business, und a list of the adventurers with the sums
invested during the previous years. The treasurer made a similar request of
the deputy, John Ferrar, on September 18, 1620, in which he asked that the
secretary and Mr. Carter should make three catalogues of the adventurers
indebted to the company in order that they might be given to a solicitor for
collection. He throws light upon the customary carelessness by urging that the
lists should be made ‘‘from the company’s books and not from memory,” lest
many a £12 10s should be lost.¢
On May 17, 1620, three books of the deputy were audited. The first contained
an account of the money disbursed for provisions,’ the second, a catalogue of the
provisions sent to the colony, and the third, a list of the names of the persons
dispatched to the plantation with the trade of each. Because of the erection of
private plantations in later years it was necessary that these records should be
supplemented. Hence an order of court provided that the names of all persons
transported to Virginia should be reported to the company and that a bookkeeper
should be appointed to be at the house of the court to register the names before
the departure of every ship. This record was to consist of the name, age, country,
profession, and kindred of each individual and was to state at whose charge the
transportation was effected. Contrary to custom each person was required to pay
a fee for registration. A duplicate of the register was to be sent to the Governor
of Virginia, but the names of those departing were not to be made public until
after the ship had sailed.¢
Provision was made in 1620 for keeping duplicates of all patents issued.
A part of this series is now deposited in the British Museum, from which the
various kinds of patents and the terms for each may be discovered.“ A registra-
tion of all shares passed from one member of the company to another was ordered
on November 19, 1621, and such a book was to be used as evidence of the right
to be admitted to courts. Other records added from time to time were a book
containing the rates of commodities,’ a register of all petitions to the court,

"8 INTRODUCTION
with the action thereupon,¢ and a record of all covenants between adventurers
and indentured servants, a copy of which was to be sent to the governor of
Virginia.? The rolls signed by adventurers must have been numerous. Nine are
mentioned in the court book on July 24, 1621, in addition to others cited at
various times. °
With the increase in trade and the establishment of the company magazines
new measures were adopted for controlling the business. These often consisted
of separate documents rather than books. A statement was thus required of the
deputy certifying that the freight had been paid before any goods should be
delivered, and invoices were also demanded of the cape merchant.“ Copies of
such certificates, as also of the accounts of the treasurer of the various joint
stock investments for the glass works and for the fur trade, were kept in the
company’s chest.¢
THE EXTANT RECORDS—THE COURT BOOK
HISTORY OF THE CONTEMPORARY COPY
The paucity of the actual extant documents of the company has made the
circumstances of the transcription of the court book the more interesting and
its authenticity the more important.
As the growing controversy between the two factions of the company resulted
in serious accusations of mismanagement by sundry adventurers and planters, the
Crown soon appointed a commission to investigate the affairs of the company, with a
consequent sequestering of all of the company’s court books in May, 1623/4 The
clear mind of Nicholas Ferrar immediately foresaw the danger of a seizure of the
documents of the company, and appreciating full well the value of the ‘‘ court books,
registers and writings, instructions, letters, etc.,” as political papers and also as
evidences of the possession of land and investment of capital, upon their return by
the Privy Council, he ‘‘did fairly copy out all the court books, etc. (which cost
50") and carried them to the noble Earle of Southampton.”

UNDER THE SANDYS-SOUTHAMPTON ADMINISTRATION 79
During the following year the activities of Nicholas Ferrar, as well as the
attention of other members of the company, must have been under great strain.
The time not taken in attendance ‘‘twice or thrice » week” upon the Privy
Council, and in the attempts to defend the company against the charges of ‘‘abuse
of its privileges,” was evidently devoted to supervising the transcript of the com-
pany’s records. ‘The attestation at the end of each volume shows that the first
was completed January 28, 1623/4, and the second June 19, 1624.2. This was none
too soon, for just a week later the Privy Council ordered Deputy Ferrar to bring
to the council chamber all patents, books of accounts, invoices of the company,
and lists of settlers in the colony, to be retained by the Privy Council chest
until further notice.© A commission had been appointed two days before to take
into their hands all ‘charters, letters patent, grantes and instructions, bookes,
orders, letters, advices and other writings concerning the company.Ӣ The com-
pany urged in these words that the council should permit the books to remain invio-
late: ‘‘So by this meanes [that is, by the transcripts] have the Original Court
bookes yet escaped purging: And w™ all duety wee humbly beseech yo" Lop* that
they may hereafter be protected from it: And that howsover yo" Lop* shall please
for the future to dispose of the Companie, that the records of their past Actions
may not be corrupted & falsified.” Further, when the council demanded that the
Earl of Southampton should surrender to the commissioners his copies of the
records, before he sailed for the Netherlands in August, he sent them word, ‘‘ that
he would as soon part w'" the evidences of his Land, as w™ the said copies, being
the evidence of his honour in that Service.” ¢
How these transcripts were made, and especially what became of them at that
time, and where they remained for the following half century can be a matter of
“Peckard, Memoirs of the Life of Mr, Nicholas Ferrar, pp. 89-167.
» According to the attestation two full courts were omitted, May 30, 1620, and June 1, 1622, and
also a part of May 20, 1620. The Robinson abstracts comprise a little more than about one-half of the
original records and are much more complete for the later years when the controversy with the King
over the tobacco contract and the abuses of the company was being carried on. The part of the
court book which reveals most with regard to internal organization, commercial activity, and inner
life of the company is not included in these abstracts. Thus such data as that which concerns the
trouble with Spain over the 7reasurer, the suit with William Wye, the accusations against Samuel
Argall, the old magazine, the Pierce patent, and many other private grants are not included. More-
over, & comparison of the publication with the original manuscript shows that the John Randolph of
Roanoke copy was used almost exclusively, and many inaccuracies have resulted.

conjecture only, based on the divers statements of contemporary authorities. These
are three in number:
(1) The Discourse of the Old Company of Virginia addressed to the Privy
Council, May, 1626.
(2) The Memoirs of the Life of Nicholas Kerrar by Dr, Peckard in 1790.
(3) .A Short Collection of the Most Remarkable Passages from the originall
to the dissolution of the Virginia Company, by Arthur Woodnoth, written
between 1635 and 1645, and printed in 1651 by Richard Cotes.¢
The Discourse of the Old Company gives much the same history of the
records as does Dr. Peckard. The facts set forth by the latter were taken from
the ‘‘ Memoirs of Nicholas Ferrar” by his brother John, about 1654, and therefore
this work may be considered as based on contemporary authority. According to
Dr. Peckard, Nicholas Ferrar, knowing that malice was at work, procured a
clerk to copy out all the court books and other writings and caused them to be
carefully collated with the original. It cost him the sum of £50, which he thought
was the best service he could render the company. After the seizure of all the
muniments of the company, and after Lord Treasurer Middlesex had procured
sentence against the company, Mr. Ferrar informed Sir Edward Sandys and others
of what he had done. These men were greatly rejoiced and advised that the copies
be taken to the Karl of Southampton, who was so overcome that he is said to have
embraced Mr. Ferrar and to have declared that he valued them as an evidence of his
honor more than as evidences of his land. John Ferrar is quoted as having stated
that the Earl of Southampton was advised not to keep these records in his house
und so delivered them to Sir Robert Killigrew, who left them on his death to Sir
Edward Sackville, the Earl of Dorset. Mr. Ferrar continues that the Earl of Dor-
set died in 1652, but he hopes the records are still in the possession of the Earl’s
family. 2
Certain it is that Dr. Peckard had a large collection of manuscripts which
concerned the Virginia Company, some of which must be considered a part of the
records of the company, for such were the Ferrar papers described above which
Dr. Peckard bequeathed to Magdalene College, Cambridge. ‘That some of them, at
least, came from the Earl of Dorset’s family is to be concluded from the statement
of Dr. Peckard that the ‘‘ Duke hud had his library searched and found a few loose
papers, which he sent to him.”” Some of them doubtless belonged to Dr. Peckard’s

wife, Martha Ferrar. But the story of the purchase of the two volumes from the
estate of the Duke of Southampton by Colonel William Byrd in 1673 or 1688 for
60 guineas has firm credence through statements of Mr. Byrd himself; and there
is no evidence that they came from the Earl of Dorset’s family. That they were
sent to Tichfield by the Earl of Southampton before he sailed for the Netherlands
and there remained until his son’s library was sold after his death in 1667 seems
probable. Perhaps some of the other records went to Sir Robert Killigrew, as
stated by John Ferrar, and even some from which these copies were made.
The statement by Woodnoth, who was a nephew of Nicholas Ferrar, that Sir
John Danvers had the transcripts of the records made in order to keep out of
the way an indigent man who had been employed by the company as a copyist
and who might be persuaded to say something ill of Sandys and of Southampton,
does not bear the stamp of truth or even of probability. There may have been a
copy made by Danvers, but the internal evidence reveals that the existing volumes
in the Library of Congress were not transcribed by any one man, and that the
work was accomplished under the personal direction of Nicholas Ferrar.¢
DESCRIPTION OF THE CONTEMPORARY COPY
The contemporary copies of the court books, which are now in the Library of
Congress and which may well be called the Ferrar copies, consist of two volumes of
large quarto size well bound in rough calf. About 1898 the books were boxed, that
is, repaired with new backs without disturbing the sewing. The old labels were
pasted on the new backs and bear the title in gold letters on red leather: Record / of
the Virgin: / Compan:/, while gold letters on black leather indicate the volume:
Vol. / I. / and Vol. / Il. /. In the first volume manila strips are pasted from the
inner cover to the first and to the last fly leaf in order to strengthen the binding.
The paper is of the seventeenth century type, hand-made and uneven in texture. In
the first volume there are three hundred and fifty-four pages, with five fly leaves in
the front and seven in the back, while the second contains three hundred and
eighty-seven pages preceded by three fly leaves and followed by four, with two
extra manila pages in both the front and back. The pencil entries on the first
leaf of the first volume are as follows: ‘‘ Records of the / Virginia Company / of
London./ Vol I. April 28, 1619 to Muay 8, 1622./ Vol 2. May 20, 1622 to June
7, 1627./ The above title in hand of / Mr. A. K. Spofford / Sig.: H. F[riedenwald]?
aA Short Collection of the Most Remarkable Passages from the originall to the dissolution of the
Virginia Company, pp. 17-18. The description here given of Southampton’s attitude on receiving
the books is similar to that given by Dr. Peckard.
oOMr. Spofford was the Librarian of Congress from 1864 to 1897, Mr. Friedenwald was in charge
of the Division of Manuscripts from 1897 to 1900.

Oct. 11/ 97./”. On the inside of the front cover of the second volume in an unknown
modern autograph is: ‘‘ p. 366 cf with p. 71 v 3,” “ and on the first manila leaf: ‘t May
20, 1622 / to / June 7, 1624.”
The discovery of the Ferrar papers has made it possible to make a final state-
ment both as to the method of the transcription of the documents and as to its
accuracy, for the autographs there found of Nicholas Ferrar and also of his
clerk or business agent in his private accounts prove indisputably that these two
men supervised and carried on the copying of the volumes.’ Particularly in the
second volume, where there are many entries of reports of committees, projects,
objections, letters, petitions, declarations, and relations by the company or by
individuals, the headings, the initial words, even the first line of each document, and
sometimes entire documents are in the autograph of Nicholas Ferrar. The rest
of the insertion is usually by his assistant, who was perhaps Thomas Collett, his
nephew. All of the insertions in the first volume and about twenty in the second
are entirely in the so-called Collett autograph, numbering about the same as those
superintended by the deputy himself. The way in which these insertions are often
crowded in, is evidence that they were copied from the original documents in spaces
left for the purpose by the hired copyist.¢
As to the identity of the other three or four distinct autographs, in which
the remaining part of the volumes appear, nothing has been determined. The
first and third copyists are distinctly different in style, while what appears as
the writing of a fourth and a sixth clerk may possibly be identical with that of
the first. With the exception of the autograph of Nicholas Ferrar, the whole is
clearly, carefully, and legibly written in the characteristic running hand of the
period, resembling the chancery hand. The spelling, capitalization, and abbrevia-
tions are distinctive and characteristic of each copyist. The use of curved lines
to complete blank spaces at the end of the line, and often at the bottom and top of
the page, shows the labor expended to make the transcript accurate and complete.
The memoranda at the end of the volumes declare that the transcript had been
carefully collated with the original ‘‘courte booke” and with the authentic docu-
ments by the secretaries, Kdward Waterhouse and Edward Collingwood, in the
first volume, and by Thomas Collett and Edward Collingwood in the second. That
tho insertions were copied from the original documents is shown by the statement
“The letter on page 366 is identical with that on page 71 of the fragile seventeenth century papers
referred to above as Vol. III, pt. ii, of the Records of the Virginia Company.
» For examples of the autograph of Nicholas Ferrar and of that of his assistant, Thomas Collett (?),
see the plates in this volume.
¢lor the documents thugs inserted in the Court Book see List of Records under ‘ Reference.”

in the memorandum of volume II that in two instances the letters had been missing
for purpose of collation. Many pages reveal the corrections of errors or omissions
of the copyist. In most instances this was done by Edward Collingwood himself,
though sometimes by Thomas Collett.¢ At the bottom of each page is the signature
‘“Conc Collingwood,” the abbreviation standing for concordat, as is shown by the
word appearing as ‘‘Concord:” on page three hundred and. fifteen of the first
volume.”
In addition to this internal evidence of accuracy, further proof of the care with
which the books were transcribed is found among the Ferrar papers. The records
of four courts were there discovered, which are almost identical with those of the
same date in the Library of Congress volumes.* The only differences, and these
are not numerous, are those which would naturally result from the fallibility of the
copyist, and the apparent custom of the time to ignore the orthography of the
original. One is led to believe that these loose pages of courts form a part of the
book from which the copy was made. This is shown by the use of larger letters to
emphasize certain words, and by Edward Collingwood’s corrections of the Library
of Congress copy to make it conform to these drafts. Even the omission of one or
two lines in the Ferrar copy, later corrected, can be accounted for by reference to
these sheets, since in each case it has resulted from the same word occurring in the
same place on two successive lines. Furthermore, the directions in the margin of
these courts as to where certain documents were to be entered were followed in the
transcript and seem to point to these as a part of the original minutes. The
autograph of the court held on June 25 is identical with that of the first copyist
of the transcript, while the courts of July 4 and July 9 were apparently written by
the sixth copyist of the transcript. Among the Ferrar papers are two drafts of a
resolution concerning the ‘‘ Lo Tfer speach touching M* Alderm. Johnson,” which
was entered in the court book. One is a rough draft written, altered, and corrected
by Edward Collingwood, and bearing the above indorsement by the writer and a
similar indorsement by John Ferrar. The other draft is in the autograph of the
sixth copyist of the court book, following the above, and is attested by Edward
Collingwood. ‘The transcript in the court book is identical with the latter, but
the vote is omitted; the substance, however, is given after the discussion follow-
@¥For the evidence that the corrections are by Edward Collingwood, compare the autographs
as shown in the plates of Vol. II, post.
b Signatures of Edward Collingwood may also be found in the Public Record Office among
the State Papers Colonial, II, Nos. 10-11, 13, 19 (II, III). His signature is reproduced from the
first Plymouth Patent, June 1, 1621, in the Massachusetts Historical Collections, Series 4, Vol. II, p. 163.
¢Compare the plates in Vol. II, post. These courts are dated March 7, 1622/3, July 4, 1623,

ing the presentation of the resolution. Thus they seem rather to have been drafts
of a resolution which had been presented than of one prepared to be offered.
Comparison between these records of courts and a draft of a Somers Islands court,
in the same collection, leads to the conclusion that they do not forma part of the
blotter or blurred book from which the original book was made, since the latter
are much corrected and altered and then canceled diagonally from corner to corner;4
but are rather a part of the original book itself. The reliability of the Library of
Congress transcripts is also confirmed by collating them with the original documents,
or with other copies of the documents, which are inserted in the court book, and these
careful comparisons have shown how accurately Edward Collingwood and _ his
assistants conducted the work for Nicholas Ferrar.?
THE SYSTEM OF KEEPING THE COURT BOOK
The system by which the minutes of the courts were kept is thus outlined in
the minutes; the court book was first drawn up by the secretary, was approved by
the deputy, and later accepted or corrected by the court.° That there must have
existed a ‘‘Blurr booke” in addition to the various reports or other documents
offered in any court is proved by an extract from a memorandum by Sir Nathaniel
Rich, which is a warrant requiring all records of the court to be brought to the
commissioners on Virginia, and includes the ‘‘Court Bookes w*" should warrant
the sd Record’, and the Blurr bookes w*" should warrant the Court Booke and
is the first ground of the Record’; that it may [be] discouered whether there be
any difference betweene them.”” The entries in the court book are the minutes
of all the various courts, of several meetings of the Somers Islands Company,
and of one meeting of the committees.
Introducing each court is a list of the adventurers in attendance. A comparison
of the number with the number of votes cast as recorded shows that these are
quite complete for the quarter courts, but in the ordinary courts either the
attendance was very small or the entry was incomplete, since the list is often
terminated with the expression ‘‘and divers others.” It was sometimes entered
later than the transcript of the body of the text, as though from a book of
attendance, but no mention of a roll book is found among the records. This part
of the book alone furnishes a valuable comment upon the social classes interested
in the undertaking and from it may be gained a knowledge of the faithfulness

UNDER THE SANDYS-SOUTHAMPTON ADMINISTRATION 85
of the members and especially of the factions which developed toward the close
of its history.
The order of business does not seem to have been regular. The approval of the
previous court is usually recorded first, although many times this is deferred until
the quarter court; then follows the report of the treasurer, through which the
important matters to be determined are presented to the court, and the hearing of
petitions, passing of shares, and grants of land appear at the end of the session.
In the ordinary courts were propounded all of those matters which did not
require action in the general court and often many measures for preliminary dis-
cussion which were postponed for final action to the fuller court. Thus the records
of the common courts and also of the preparative courts usually contain the full
reports and discussions of the various subjects, while the statements in the quarter
courts are brief and perfunctory, embodying the decisions reached in the lesser
courts. The reports of officers, from which so much concerning the financial status
is to be learned, are entered in the minutes of the general court. To trace the course
of any question necessitates a search through all of the courts, but in the quarter
courts will be found the elections and the final action on all laws and ordinances, on
the patents for private plantations or monopolies, or, in short, on all measures by
which the company would be bound for a term of years.
CONTENTS OF THE COURT BOOK
The business recorded during the first two years of the Sandys administration
concerned the establishment of laws and orders in the company and in the colony,
the systematizing of methods, the formation of joint stock companies for the erection
of new industries in Virginia, and the opening up of new adventures. But after the
massacre early in the year 1622, the whole tone of the book changes. Personal feuds
and quarrels, complaints, and accusations fill the pages. Whether the friction was
due to the extreme distress brought about by the attack of the Indians or whether it
was but the excuse for open opposition by the party of the Crown, which had been
rapidly developing, is difficult to determine. From the spring of 1622 until
February, 1629/3, the burden of the record concerns the tobacco contract with the
Crown. It resulted in the discussion of salaries for the officers and the quarrel
with Samuel Wroth, which occupied the attention of the company for three months.
Then followed the Butler and Johnson accusations, the investigation by the Crown,
and the dissolution of the company. It is literally true that, after June, 1622, no
new measures for trade, for industry, or for commerce are entered in the court book.
There was the usual transferring of shares and hearing of petitions and claims, but
the business activity was evidently destroyed. That the colony could survive the

RO INTRODUCTION
massacre and continue its development with so little encouragement from the pro-
prietor is evidence of the strong foundation laid during the governorship of Sir
George Yeardley.
From the court book it would be possible to reconstruct a part or the whole
of some of the other records. <A list of all of the ships departing or arriving
with the names of the masters could thus be drawn up, but the terms of the
charter party could not be determined.* A full statement of the shares of stock
granted or transferred, of the land assigned for adventure or for service, and of the
private plantations erected could be given. Even a partial financial account could
be rendered, though not an itemized statement. The larger sums invested or
received from the various sources are usually given in the treasurer’s plans and the
officers’ reports, although unfortunately only those of the treasurer and deputy are
entered in full. But from scattered statements in plans, reports, and discussions,
from grants, patents, suits, letters, petitions, and claims will come much that will
illuminate the financial situation when these are gathered together.
The full record of all documents for which record was not provided elsewhere
was made in the court book. Plans, reports of committees, and reports of chief
officers seem to have been entered in full, but letters to and from the colony, and to
and from the privy council, petitions with the action thereupon, charter parties,
grants for monopolies, lists of departing planters, expenditures and receipts of the
magazines, and rolls of adventure, were all recorded in the other books provided by
the ‘‘ Orders and Constitutions” or in the books created later. A single illustration
will suffice. Of the twenty-seven letters sent to the colony and received from the
colony, copies of many of which have been found among the papers in Virginia, but
fifteen are mentioned in the court book, and only a few are spread in full upon the
minutes. A great many more documents are entered in the court book during the
later years, due evidently to the desire to keep a record of the controversy which
might serve as a defense against the accusations of the malcontents. That many of
these were not entered in the original court book is revealed by the marginal notes
in the extant court minutes of the Ferrar papers, which read as follows: ‘‘ Enter the
quietus est,” ‘‘ Enter the resolution,” and other similar directions.
The court book is not only a source of information, but it also serves as a guide
to the other records of the company. That all of the twenty-one documents men-
tioned but not entered in the court book have been found in other collections is
most important and interesting. These include some of the publications of the
company, most of the correspondence of the company with the King and with the

colony, many of the orders of the Privy Council, the Admiralty suits of the com-
pany, the laws passed in the colony, the charter granted to the colony, and the forms
for patents used by the company. There are thirteen documents entered in the
court book which are on record elsewhere, consisting of declarations or reports which
were published by the company, petitions and letters to the King, and ordors of the
King’s council. But thirty most valuable documents are spread upon the minutes
which have not yet been discovered among other papers. ‘These include a few peti-
tions to the King, many petitions received by the company, a number of letters from
and to the colony, the propositions brought forward in the attempt to form a tobacco
contract with the King, the plans propounded by the treasurer for the advancement
of the enterprise, and the declarations of the state of the affairs of the company and
of the colony by the same oflicer. @
THE EXTANT SUPPLEMENTARY RECORDS
DOCUMENTS OUTLINING TIE ACTIVITY OF THE COMPANY
The organization and the method of procedure of the company have been
outlined, in order to enable the reader to comprehend the nature of the records, and
through them the machinery by which it conducted its internal affairs; but there is a
wider and more important field to consider. The real interest in the company comes
from its activity in carrying on trade and in developing the resources and
government of the colony. Again, the starting point must be the court book, not
only as a guide to the records which it kept in executing its purposes, but in
discovering what activities are to be traced. Two kinds of documents afford the
clearest outline of the subject; in one are the reports which the treasurer offered to
the company and which are spread upon the minutes; in the other are the printed
declarations and broadsides which the company issued for the purpose of securing
interest, confidence, and investment in the undertaking. With the same motive it
reprinted treatises and published sermons which had been delivered before the
company.
The first report of Sir Edwin Sandys after he became treasurer was offered
on November 8, 1619, in which he thus defined his policy: The resources of the
company were to be augmented by settling and developing the company’s land and
by increasing the number of industries to be established, an action which must
advance the plantation from a colony for exploitation into a colony for settlement.
The report begins with a statement of the number of men which had been transported
4 All of these documents, whether entered in the court book or not, are cited in the List of
Records, and are also referred to by foot notes in this edition of the court book.

88 INTRODUCTION
by the company for the college land and for the public land during the summer and
continues with propositions to the same effect, by which 300 additional persons
should be sent to the colony, 100 of whom were to be maids for wives and 100 to be
apprentices or servants from the city. ‘The other measures discussed are indicative
of the development which rapidly took place. Jirst of these was the effort to
establish other commodities in Virginia and restrain the excessive production of
tobacco; the second was the encouragement of a spirit of local patriotism in the
colony. The treasurer urges that men should be sent from the low countries to
raise fortifications for the colony, stating that the colonists were willing to bear the
charges of the work since they had recently been encouraged by the charters and
grants of liberties. The dependence of the company upon the lotteries for an
income and the care to arrange for an economical transportation of the men are
indications of the financial policy and status of the colony. The income of the
lottery is estimated at £3,500, and the total expense of perfecting the plan submitted
is placed at £4,000 or £5,000.
Six months later the treasurer made his siaial report, which revealed to what
extent his plans had been executed. It was issued as a broadside under the date of
the court in which it was delivered and describes the state of the colony from April,
1618, to April, 1619, taken from a general letter to the company, and then proceeds to
outline the successful activity of the colony during the succeeding year. It empha-
sizes the erection of private plantations, the number of men sent to the company’s
land, the commodities provided for—there being ten instead of two as in the former
year—the interest in the care of religion and education in the colony, and the stable
financial condition of the company. ‘The general receipts amounted to £9,831 14s 11d
and the disbursements were £10,431 14s 07d, but the surplus in the college fund more
than exceeded this deficiency, the receipts from that source being £2,043 02s 114d and
the expenditures £1,477 15s 5d. The lottery was reported to have an increase in stock
over the previous year of £1,200. Although not re-elected treasurer, the financial
‘nanagement remained in the hands of Sir Edwin Sandys, as is proved by the entries
of his plans in the court book and by his private letters to John Ferrar. A scheme
outlined in the court of July 7, 1620, is practically the measure put forth in the
printed declaration of June 22, 1620, and proposes a continuation of the policy stated
above.
The printed documents of 1619 and 1620 add but little to the plans revealed in the
treasurer’s reports concerning the activity of the company, although the measures
taken to advance the comfort of the planters and of the tenants upon arrival in
Virginia, the establishment of many private plantations, and the encouragement
given to the self-government of the colony are brought out more clearly. After the
note of the shipping in 1621, so far as is known, there were no propositions issued

UNDER THE SANDYS-SOUTHAMPTON ADMINISTRATION 89
by the company. This was due to the massacre which paralyzed the efforts of the
company for a time and forced upon it publications of defense and excuse or
directions of warning. While the company was torn by dissension, after 1622 the
colony slowly but steadily advanced. The proprietor was no longer active, and the
center of interest is therefore transferred from the courts in London in which the
plans had been conceived to the settlement in which they were maturing.
The various publications of the company afford not only an understanding of the
measures proposed, but also of their execution. They were in themselves a means of
carrying out its schemes. Before 1622 five of these advertisements were issued by
the company. The broadside bearing the date May 17, 1620, is a full statement of
the prosperous condition in the colony, setting forth the ability of the colony to
receive newcomers in its guest houses, newly built in each of the four ancient
boroughs and in the other plantations, and describing the measures provided to sus-
tain ministers in each borough. It states the number of men who had been sent to
the public land, with the provisions allowed, and describes fully the efforts which
had been made to establish six industries in the colony.¢
A book of great importance was issued by the company in June of the same
year containing a series of declarations.? There were at least two editions in the
year 1620, having variations in the title page; in the first edition the pages are
numbered according to each pamphlet and the imprint is ‘‘'T. S.,” while in the
second the pagination is consecutive from 1 to 92 and the imprint is that of Thomas
Snodham. The latter varies also in the orthography of the word ‘‘ colony” in the title.
The former was probably the first edition and was composed of pamphlets, each of
which may have been issued separately, and seems to have been reissued, with an
additional pamphlet concerning a division of land in Virginia,’ in which the
signature is consecutive. Copies of the first issue of the first edition of the ‘* Decla-
rations” are in the Harvard Library and in the New York Public Library (‘‘ No.
1”), but the only copy of the second issue is in the John Carter Brown Library
(copy ‘‘A”). The copies in the British Museum, the Cambridge University
Library,? the Library of Congress, the John Carter Brown Library (copy ‘B”),
and the New York Public Library (Thomas Addison Emmet Collection, ‘‘ No. 2”)
are identical and are evidently the first issue of the second edition. The copies in
the New York Public Library and in a private collection in New York are. probably
a second issue of the second edition, having four additional pages and containing a
aList of Records, No. 174.
b Ibid., No. 183.
¢ The pamphlet must have been printed in 1616. An imperfect copy is in the British Museum.
4 This copy is evidently imperfect, since it lacks pages 91 and 92.

90 INTRODUOTION
declaration, ‘‘ By his Maiesties Councell for Virginia,” dated November 15, 1620.¢
The pagination and the signature are consecutive but the style of type is changed.
The pamphlets included in all editions are as follows:
(1) ‘‘By his Maiesties Counseil for Virginia.” This is a declaration of the
industries which have been established, of the good government which has been
formed in the colony so that it ‘‘begins to have the face and fashion of an orderly
State,” and of the purpose of the company in the division of land.
(2) ‘‘A Note of the Shipping, Men and Prouisions sent to Virginia, by the
Treasurer and Company in the yeere 1619.”
(3) ‘‘A Declaration of the Supplies intended to be sent to Virginia in this
yeare 1620. 18 Julij, 1620.”
(4) ‘‘The Names of the Aduenturers, with their seuerall summes aduentured
x * * paid to Sir Thos. Smith,” to ‘Sir Baptist Hicks,” and to ‘‘Sir Edwin
Sandys.”
(5) ‘‘Orders And Constitutions, * * * for the better gouerning * * *
of the said Companie * * * Anno 1619, and 1620.”
Some light is thrown upon these publications by the court book, in which
provision for four similar pamphlets was made between November, 1619, and June,
1620, as follows:
(1) An advertisement for laborers, approved to be published on November 17,
1619.
(2) A publication which should confute the slander as to the barrenness of the
soil in Virginia, ordered November 22.
(3) A list of the names of adventurers with the sums adventured, ordered to be
drawn -up by the treasurer and Dr. Winstone, December 15.?
(4) An apology for Virginia, ordered to be printed June 23, 1620. On June 26
and 28 it was provided that the standing orders should be printed and annexed to
the book to be given to all members by order of the council.
The conclusion seems valid that these pamphlets are the ones included in the
book and that they first appeared at various times, but that finally in June, 1620, they
were collected, the fourth one added, and the volume published under the date of
the latter.
The publication of this declaration in four different issues during the year 1620
indicates the interest which Sir Edwin Sandys had aroused in the measure, as well as
«This is copy No. 3 in the New York Public Library. The copy in the private library is
evidently the Smyth of Nibley volume, secured from the Cholmondely papers through Bernard
Quaritch.
bSuch a list of adventurers is among the Manchester papers. List of Records, No. 58.

UNDER THRE SANDYS-SOUTHAMPTON ADMINISTRATION 91
the virility of the company, while reference to the book in much of the corre-
spondence of the day reveals the same attitude toward the venture. In order to
promote the silk industry a pamphlet entitled ‘‘ Observations to be followed for
making of fit roomes for silk wormes,” written by Banoeil, was translated under the
patronage of the company toward the end of the year 1620,¢ It contains » pamphlet
called ‘A Valuation of the Commodities growing and to be had in Virginia: rated
as they are worth,” in which is presented the astonishing list of 49 articles. The
natural commodities which did not require especial cultivation, such as various kinds
of fish, furs, woods, shrubs and berries, were of course included. But this proof of
rapid development in the industrial habits and occupations of the colonists is most
important, and the note of the shipping of the same year and the one in 1621 are
confirmatory. In the former is the statement of the number of men sent for each of
four industries, and in the latter a similar declaration. The rapid transportation
of settlers and the development of private plantations in these two years is as sur-
prising. Thus in 1620 six ships with 600 persons were sent to the colony, and 400
more settlers were to be sent at once, of whom 500 were destined for the com-
pany’s land. The next year the number of ships dispatched increased to twenty-one
and the number of persons to 1,300, while the number of patents for private
plantations grew from six to twenty-six.
During the year 1622 the books printed by the company were much less valuable,
although more numerous, there being seven in all. Zhe Declaration of the state of
the Colony of Virginia with the Relation of the Massacre of the English, by the
Natiue Infidells with the names of those that were Massacred, by Edward Waterhouse,
was more concerned with the disaster than with the previous development of the
plantation.’ A broadside is inserted in the copy of this declaration in the John
Carter Brown Library, entitled ‘‘ Virginia Inconveniences,”® which was published
separately and was a set of directions with regard to the provisions which each person
should have before sailing for the colony. This included apparel, victuals, household
implements, arms, sugar, spice, and fruit for consumption at sea, and nets, hooks,
lines, and a tent for large numbers. The declaration was made that for its own
tenants the Virginia Company followed the proportionate provision as set forth in
this broadside. It is at once an advertisement for new tenants and a warning against
the dangers which had wrought dissatisfaction snd brought complaints to the com-
pany. ‘I'wo sermons and two treatises were published in the same year; one of the
4 This translation was ordered in an ordinary court on November 15, 1620, and was reported ready
for the press on December 13. In the same courts there is a discussion of the prices of commodities
produced in Virginia. List of Records, p. 138, Nos. 150, 151.

92 INTRODUCTION
latter was a reprint of Banoeil’s book on silk worms, including a letter of encourage-
ment from the King and one of advice from the treasurer, which were intended to
promote the industry of silk as opposed to that of tobacco; the other treatise was
by John Brinsley and was an encouragement for the advancement of learning and
the foundation of schools.’ Of the same character was a four-page pamphlet, which
was published in the sume year, declaring the sums which had been coflected ‘towards
the building of a free schoole in Virginia.’’¢
A number of general works were approved by the company in the courts or were
accepted and rewarded. Thus the proposition by Smith to write a history of Vir-
ginia on April 12, 1621, seems to have been acceptable to the adventurers, while
George Rugh, who had rendered service to the Virginia council by writing a treatise
on government, was publicly eulogized upon his bequeathing £100 to the company
_ for the education of infidels’ children.¢ Edward Bennett was admitted to the com-
pany as a reward for a treatise against the importation of tobacco from Spain, and
the chronicler, Howes, was granted 12 pounds of tobacco as a yearly payment for his
references to Virginia.¢
A number of works were suggested in the courts of which we have no trace or
which can not be identified as appearing under other titles. To what the company
referred when it petitioned the Archbishop of Canterbury for permission to publish
the book which he had prohibited is unknown’ The printed book proposed by Sir
Edwin Sandys on November 4, 1620, in which he wished to defend the lotteries and
to hasten the dispatch of persons to Virginia, may have been the declaration of the
shipping in 1620, but it is not mentioned again in the court book. In 1621 three other
proposed publications failed to be executed, so far as is known, the first of which was
a treatise on the government of Virginia by Thomas Bargrave.’ The second was a
defense of the company, and concerned the health, trade, and manners of the colony,
and the third considered the defects and remedies of Virginia and discussed the food,
“The first suggestion of a reprint of this book came in a court of October 31, 1621, but it was not
until September 5 of the year following that the book was ordered to be printed, including the two
letters. List of Records, No, 347. The sermons were Virginia’s God be Thanked, by Patrick Copland,
1622, and one by John Donne. See List of Records, Nos. 312, 375.
» An order of court, December 19, 1621, provided for an expression of gratitude to John Brinsley
and an appointment of a committee to peruse and report upon his work. On January 16 the com-
mittee was granted additional time, and Patrick Copland was usked to review the book and report tc
the company. List of Records, No. 291,

health, fortifications, wealth, and religion of the colony. In the following year an
attempt was made to collect the ‘‘ binding laws which had been ratified in courts”
and to add them to the printed books, but it seems to have failed, since no trace of
such a publication has been found, and no final action is recorded in the court book.?
DOOUMENTS REVEALING THE MOVEMENTS FOR TRADE AND INDUSTRY
The printed advertisements between 1619 and 1621 were successful in securing
the capital with which to carry on the enterprise. It now remains to discover how
the trade was conducted and controlled, how the plantation was developed and
governed, and how the business was finally destroyed.
The income which enabled the company to provide for new industries in 1619
and 1620 was derived from the £12 10s. paid by each new adventurer for each new
share of stock, and from the lotteries. Special collections and particular gifts for the
advancement of religion and of education in the colony were frequent, and thus the
account and management of the college land became important. Before the intro-
duction of freedom of trade into the colony, and the dissolution of the old magazine
on January 12, 1619/20, the company had some profit from that monopoly,° but the
ease with which returns came from the lotteries had doubtless led the company to
abolish the monopoly of trade which had become so difticult to maintain. That the
company depended on the lotteries is indicated by the following statements in the
court book: On December 1, 1619, the lotteries were continued until summer because
there was no other means of securing money, and the plan put forth for the devel-
opment of the colony on July 7, 1620, provided that the estimated expense of £17,800
should be met by the income from the lotteries, which would amount to £18,000.
Information concerning the organization for conducting the lottery is wanting.
Books and rolls and catalogues of prizes are referred to but have not been found.?
Thus the only documents which throw light on the system outside of the court book
are the records of the suit of the Virginia Company against William Leveson, an
agent for the lottery in 1613, which discloses that books and rolls had been kept, and
that a house for the lottery had been erected and furnished ‘‘at the west end of St.
Paules Church;” a proclamation by the King for the overthrow of the lottery on
March 8, 1620/21; and a few letters solicting investments.°
The investments by the company during the period of the lotteries followed
three lines—the old magazine, the planting of the public and the college lands in

94 INTRODUCTION
Virginia, and the erection of industries for the production of certain commodities.
The court book is the only source of information with regard to the old magazine,
in which the company through its general stock of the company had invested more
than twice as much as any other adventurer. Hence, during the last half of the year
1619, it made every effort to gain an account and secure a settlement of that adventure.
The discussion, which resulted in the adoption of free trade to the colony, reveals the
system used for the control of the magazine, indicates to a slight degree the income
which the company had had from that joint stock, and incidentally shows that it had
some returns from the public lands in Virginia.¢ ‘The numbers of men sent to the
company’s land and their equipment are given in the printed declarations, in the
reports of the treasurer spread on the minutes, and in the discussions recorded in
the court book, and although the sums invested for the purpose are not recorded,
the statement was made by Sir Edwin Sandys that 800 men were sent through the
income from the lottery. The transportation of dissolute persons in the year 1619
to meet the command of the King, and the settlement of boys and girls on the
company’s land previous to 1622, were other means used to people the public and
college lands.?
Five commodities enumerated in the broadside of May 17, 1620, were established
by action of the court. No record is extant of the exact nature of the investment,
but it appears from the court book to have been chiefly an investment from the general
stock. The movement for monopoly of certain industries rather than a monopoly
of all trade began during the latter part of the year 1620, and as a result the records
deal extensively with plans for the sole importation of tobacco, by which a joint
stock of £15,000 was to be raised to carry out what is known as the ‘‘Somerscales
plan.”
The overthrow of the lotteries carried consternation to the company. An
income was essential with which to send out settlers to develop the soil or to create
new industries, but the general stock was so low that the company could not even
carry out its plans for glassworks. Finally, after several months of discussion,
recourse was had to special adventure or new joint stock companies for special
undertakings, controlled by a treasurer who should be elected by the adventurers in
the scheme. Thus followed the creation of a series of magazines for the erection of
tu glass furnace, for the establishment of a fur trade, for sending maids for wives,
and for supplying a magazine for apparel. The records of these ventures are to be
found only in the court book, and the data there given is very insuflficient.. This, of
course, meant no advantage to the general stock, and the company was forced to
discover means for securing returns from the general investment and an income with

which to develop the company’s land. Hence, private plantations were organized,
and private patents and monopolies for the industry of pitch and tar, for ironworks,
for new discoveries were granted, while special commissions for trade along the coast
and for fishing added to the revenue. With the exception of the movement for
private plantations and for the sole importation of tobacco, but few records exist
outside of the court book to reveal these vigorous endeavors to reap the results of
the great investments in the earlier years.? The grants for private plantations to
individuals or groups of individuals, called hundreds, commenced as early as 1616,
but increased rapidly during and after 1621, there being entries in the court book of
over fifty patents granted in four years, which provide for the transportation of at
least 100 men each and often for four times as many. The system by which each
hundred in Virginia and the adventurers for the hundred in England was organized
is to be found in the court book and in the extant records of the companies. The
minutes of one meeting for Martin’s Hundred and one for Smythe’s Hundred, and
the forms for patents deposited in the British Museum, in addition to about seventy
papers of Berkeley Hundred, afford a very satisfactory reconstruction of the terms of
agreement, the expenses, the provisioning, the form of government, the instructions
issued to the captain or governor of the hundred, and the terms of settlement with
tenants and servants. The adventures of Lord Zouch and Lord La Warr in 1617
and 1618, and of the Walloons and French in 1621, complete the series of which any
record exists.”
But the private grants did not promise sufficient income to meet the great
demands for supplies from the general stock which the massacre of 1622 brought
about. As a result the company turned to the income from tobacco, regardless
of its high purposes and its endeavors to enforce the production of other com-
modities. This feeling of the importance of a contract for the sole importation of
tobacco took such a strong hold upon the company that from May, 1622, until
its dissolution, just a year later, nothing else worth mentioning is recorded in the
court book, while the quarrel concerning the salaries to be paid for the manage-
ment of the £100,000 to be invested in this project monopolized the attention
of several courts. In addition to the record of an entire year in the court book,
numerous memoranda of various estimates of the value of the tobacco monopoly
to the Crown and to the company are deposited among the Manchester papers
¢The discussions in the Court Book with regard to the magazine, the development of commodities,
and private plantations will be found through the Index under those headings.
bFor the documents on Berkeley Hundred see the Smyth of Nibley Papers in the New York
Public Library, which are cited in the List of Records. See also Nos. 71, 72, 76, 77, 82, 227, 264,
735. These are really records of the private companies and fall under class VI in the List of Records.
Among the forms for patents in the British Museum is that granted to Martin’s Hundred: List of
Records, No. 323.

96 INTRODUOTION
in the Public Record Office. The communications with the Privy Council on
the subject are spread on the company’s minutes, and are also to be found among
the Colonial State papers. This series includes the proclamations of the King in
1624, and the new propositions and measures for tobacco importation of the
same year. The economic condition of the planter, the necessity of a revenue to
the company, the amount of the importation and of the customs value to the
King, the relations with Spain, and the economic values in England are all brought
out in the estimates, discussions, and arguments.¢
DOCUMENTS DISCLOSING THE RELATIONS WITH THE COLONY
The study of the relations of the company to the colony and the development
within the colony may be based on a greater variety of documents than any other
phase of the subject, especially with regard to the political conditions. The court
book furnishes an understanding of the attitude and motives of the company and
often serves to connect the data gathered from letters, instructions, commissions,
patents, and grants. Thus the emphasis on the custom of martial law in the colony
and the severity of penalty imposed is revealed both in the court book and in the
extracts from Governor Argall’s register. The additional forms of government
required by the development of the colony are recorded in the court book, by which
the company created the offices of deputies to the governor for the college and for
the public land, secretary, treasurer, chancellor, and surveyor, and provided for the
compensation of officers by grants of land, by transportation of tenants, by the
income of the company’s land, and by allowance of fees.° The requests for the
appointment of a council of State and for laws and orders, urgently repeated by
Governor Yeardley, as recorded in the court book in 1619, give evidence that the
source of such development was in the colony. But the fundamental law for the
government of the colony is recorded in three documents, the instructions to Gov-
ernor Yeardley, November 8, 1618, which created the land system, the instructions
to Governor Wyatt, July 24, 1621, which emphasized the industrial development,
and ‘‘ An Ordinance and Constitution * * * fora Councill of State and Generall
Assembly” in Virginia, which confirmed the political forms.
These documents provided for the creation of two councils. The council of
state, composed of the governor and council, was to form an executive and

judicial body, and the assembly, composed of the council and two burgesses from
each town or borough, was to be purely a legislative body.* The approval of a
quarter court of the company, which was necessary for legalizing the acts of the
assembly, is referred to in the court book in three places only.” The constitution
and the provisions for division of the country into cities and boroughs, recorded
both in the instructions and in the patents by which the government of the private
plantations was delegated to a private body, form the basis for a study of the
local systems. The records of Smythe’s, Martin’s, and Berkeley Hundred referred
to above, the correspondence of Samuel Argall with Bermuda Hundred, and the
commissions for government issued by Governor Argall and later by the council
of state complete the sources on this subject. The precedents for patents are
valuable in the information which they afford with regard to the position of the
following classes of colonists: The old adventurer not subject to rent; the
adventurer paying money for his shares and agreeing to transport 100 persons;
the adventurer settling a private plantation; the individual planter.? These
documents also throw light on the liberty of the individual, his exemption from
taxation without his consent by the colony or by the private plantation, and his
submission to a government almost military in character.
The strict supervision which the company exercised over the economic, indus-
trial, and social conditions of the colony is to be seen in the measures enacted in
the courts and in the correspondence between the company and the colony, sup-
plemented by a large number of private letters to the officers of the company.
Four letters to the colony are mentioned in the court book, of which two have not
been found, but eight others not mentioned are extant. It is more difficult to
determine what letters came from the colony, due to the usually brief reports of
the letters in the court book, to the omission of the date from the copies of the
letters, and from the uncertainty of the date of the receipt of the letters as noted
in the court book. Seven letters seem to have been received by the company of
which no trace has been found, while only four of the ten extant are mentioned
in the court book. It is apparent therefore that only « part of the official corre-
spondence is in existence. The directions to the colony disclose the care and
earnestness of the company, and emphasize the endeavors to establish the various
commodities, while the descriptions given by the colonists are extremely valuable
in the picture they present of their efforts, ambitions, and attainments. The pri-

98 INTRODUCTION
vate correspondence proves that the official letters were likely to give but one
phase of the conditions.
About thirty-five letters addressed to Sir Edwin Sandys during the years 1619
to 1621 have been found among the Ferrar papers, which are full of complaint
because of tho scarcity of provisions. Apparently Sir Mdwins policy to develop tho
plantation, and especially the company’s land as a source of revenue, was overdone,
and he was not as wise in carrying out his plan as he had been in forming it, since the
colony was unable to provide for the large numbers sent out. ‘These complaints are
casually mentioned in the court book, but the Sandys-Ferrar correspondence shows
that it was the desire of the administration to conceal the difficulties and distress
of the colony not only from the public but also from the hostile faction. The Man-
chester papers preserve letters, or copies of them, which came to the company or
to individuals in 1622 and 1623 complaining of similar deprivations in the colony.?
The company was not only interested in the economic and industrial develop-
ment and the necessary political forms of the colony, but, as Sir Edwin Sandys
declared, it had a higher purpose than the Muscovy or the other commercial corpo-
rations. This high ideal is proved by the attention which is devoted to plans for
the college, by the appointment of ministers, by the collections in the churches, and
by the gifts received,®? but the theory that the chief motive of the enterprise was
religious is not supported either by the spirit or by the data of the records.
RECORDS KEPT BY THE OFFICERS IN THE COLONY
The acts of the administration in Virginia are recorded in the volume of
contemporary records of the company kept by the colony which are described
above. ‘They consist of a series of nine orders and proclamations by the governor
and council and of twenty-one orders, proclamations, commissions, and warrants
issued by the governor as the executive officer of the council for the regulation
of affairs in the colony. They cover the years 1621, 1622, and 1623, and concern
the collection of taxes, the designation of laborers for public works, the regu-
lation of prices of commodities, the restraint of relations with the Indians, and
the control of the morals of the citizens. In addition to these documents issued
by the governor is a series of twenty-four commissions and warrants issued to
individuals to act as commanders of cities and hundreds, to carry on trade with
the Indians, to make discoveries, to wage war upon the Indians, and to collect
moneys. Another group of documents in the same collection consists of thirty-
six petitions to the governor and council between 1622 and 1624. They are

UNDER THE SANDYS-SOUTHAMPTON ADMINISTRATION 99
claims for wages and for moneys due, demands for fulfillment of contracts,
requests for pardon and for justification in personal quarrels, demands for lands,
and petitions to be allowed to return to deserted plantations and to England.“
The only extant record of the council for 1619 is an account of the ‘‘ putting
out of the Tenants that came over in the Blona] Nf{ova] w™ other orders of the
Councell,” found among the Ferrar papers.”
The ‘‘courte booke,” or original record of the meetings of the governor and
council, in which these petitions were heard and orders issued, is extant from 1624
to 1632, with a record of one court in 1622 and of one in 1623. These are mostly
the actions of the council sitting in a judicial capacity and concern controversies
over property, probate matters, and criminal charges. The punishments seem
extreme. Two actions of the court are particularly interesting, one affecting
Edward Sharpless for sending copies of the colonial records to England, and the
other consisting of accusations against Captain John Martin of slanderous and false
utterances. A few additional orders and warrants are preserved among the Colonial
State papers,’ together with a report of the proceedings of the assembly in 1619,
written by John Pory and sent to England, the only other account of which was
sent to Sir Edwin Sandys by John Rolfe, and is among the Ferrar papers.? The
acts of the assembly for March 5, 1623/24 are the only measures of that body
during the life of the company which are extant, with the exception of the letters
and petitions addressed to the company and to the King, and of a few orders.
DOCUMENTS CONCERNING THE DEVELOPMENT OF FACTIONS AND THE DISSOLUTION OF
THE COMPANY
A series of documents remains which does not bear directly on the organization
of the company or the expression of its activity in trade and in colonial enterprise,
but is invaluable for a study of the history of the company, since it concerns the
relations of the individual members to one another, reveals the inner life and motive
of the company as a whole and of the various groups, and explains the conditions
which resulted froin the interference of the King and the overthrow of the corpora-
tion. The entire movement centers about the growth of factions in the company.
The movement begins in the years just preceding the accession of Sir Edwin Sandys
to the position of treasurer, and seems to have had its origin in the trouble over

100 INTRODUCTION
Sir Samuel Argall and the appointment of Sir George Yeardley as governor of the
colony. It finally involved many of the personal complaints and difficulties which
presented themselves to the company, and therefore requires a study of those
problems before it can be understood.
The measures which thus arose with regard to individuals ure to be found
chiefly in the court book. They supply much information which can not be
obtained elsewhere with regard to the methods of procedure of the company,
und afford scattered data of great importance in addition to the light they throw
on the disputes of the factions. The subjects discussed include such problems
as the relations with the northern colony, the conflict with Spain concerning the
ship Treasurer, the suit against William Wye for failing to land settlers in Vir-
ginia, and various accusations against Governor Yeardley and Captain Argall for
misgovernment in the colony. The accounts of Sic Thomas Smythe, the settle-
ment of Alderman Robert Johnson’s accounts for the magazine, and the illegality
of Captain John Martin’s patent for a plantation, were also questions which were
of vital importance to the financial affairs of the company and took the atten-
tion of numerous courts; but neither the accounts of Sir Thomas Smythe nor of
the magazine were ever adjusted.
The claims against the company presented by William Tracey, by William
Welden, the deputy of the college land who was superseded by George Thorpe,
and by the heirs of Sir George Somers for a compensation for the Somers
Islands are but illustrations of the many demands made upon the company.
The court sat as a judiciary body to settle numerous personal quarrels, including
the Brewster-Argall, the Argall-Smythe, the Bargrave-Smythe, and the Johnson-
Southampton cases. Disputes which arose within the courts and resulted in
slander and counter accusations took much of the time and attention of the
company, the trouble between the council and Samuel Wroth over the question
of salaries thus consuming the entire time of the courts for three months, from
December to February, 1622/38. In the various collections in London are about
a dozen papers which give additional information on the Argall-Rich troubles,
the censure of Alderman Johnson, the Martin patent, the accounts of Sir Thomus
Smythe, and the suits against William Wye.4
The documents which bear directly on the factional differences in the company
are wmnong the Manchester and the Ferrar papers. From them comes the insight
into the very motives and thoughts of the opposing parties, and the proof that
“For the history of these cases us given in the court book, see the citations in the Index,
Post, Vol. 11, under the names suggested. References to the documents in the List of Records,
may also be found in the Index.

UNDER THE SANDYS-SOUTHAMPTON ADMINISTRATION 101
the accusations of the Warwick party are well founded, in so far as they relate
to concealment of the sufferings and dissatisfactions in the colony, comes as &
surprise.“ For a history of the factions the student must first review the
reports of the personal conflicts referred to above and then turn to the numerons
documents which include the accusations against the company, the defense of the
colony and of the company, and the memoranda and letters upon the charges.
When the quarrels had finally been carried to the Privy Council, the matter
was taken up Officially by the company, and the second volume of the court book
after the spring of 1623 is composed entirely of documents spread upon the minutes
which concern the action of the company. In fact, all of the papers after that time
are of the same character except the records of the governor and council in Virginia.
Since they number upward of two hundred, it will be impossible to discuss them
separately, but it must be remembered that in them is to be found an outline of the
history of the company reaching back into the time of Sir Thomas Smythe, presented
first by one faction and then by the other. The most important of these reviews
are the charges of Captain Butler, of Alderman Johnson, and of Captain Bargrave,
with replies to each; the complaints of the adventurers and of the planters against the
Sandys administration, and a declaration by the ‘‘ancient planters” comparing the
two administrations in the colony. Finally, the ‘‘ Discourse of the Old Company ”
is the last review of the whole situation. Another most important group of papers
is a series of projects for readjusting the government of the colony and the adminis-
tration of the company. The projects of Martin, Bargrave, Ditchfield, and Rich
thus afford an opportunity to study the beginnings of royal control.
The relations between the Crown and the company assume three different
phases during the Sandys-Southampton administration—the first before the dis-
cussion over the tobacco contract in 1622, the second concerning that contract, and
the third relating to the abuses in the company and the dissolution of the corpora-
tion. The court book shows a readiness and a desire on the part of the company
before 1622 to refer to the Privy Council such matters as the magazine accounts
which seemed beyond their control, but it also contains declarations to the effect
that an interference with the patent rights is not to be tolerated. The questions
arising in those years concern the transportation of dissolute persons to the col-
ony, the right of the King to nominate men from whom the treasurer should be
chosen, the restriction on trade to other countries, the refusal of a new charter to
the company, and the dissolution of the lotteries. Supplementary to these records
in the court book are the orders of the Privy Council affecting all of these
«Citation of these documents in the List of Records may be found by reference to the Index
under the Sandys-Ferrar letters, the Rich and Johnson memoranda, and the letters in the Man-
chester papers.

102 INTRODUCTION
problems. One of the most important documents, however, has not been found,
since the efforts for a new patent can not be traced beyond the statements in
the court book. It was first proposed November 15, 1620, and was ordered to be
continued and to be confirmed by Parliament on January 31, 1620/21. On the
92d of the following month the Lords were appointed to secure the seal, and
on April 12 the objections of the attorney-general, to whom the King had referred
the patent, were discussed. That it never went into effect is certain, since no
record is to be found among the sign manual warrants in the record office or in
the signet docquet book. Furthermore, it is not enrolled in the chancery files,
and it is not entered on the patent rolls, while in the-suit of the quo warranto
the only letters patent cited are those already known of 1606, 1609, and 1612.4
Unless the documents have been lost or the date of the entry has been mis-
taken the conclusion must be reached that after the surrender of the draft of the
new charter to the solicitor-general it disappeared from sight. During the year 1622
the communications between the King and the company concerned the tobacco con-
tract and its final acceptance at the command of the King, and revealed the maturity
of the policy of interference which had been developing during the previous years.
The number of accusations against the company increased during the year, and the
records of the early part of 1623 abound in letters of complaint and charges of
mismanagement from the colony. The memoranda of the Warwick party, found
among the Manchester papers, are also essential to the understanding of the
movements toward the overthrow of the company. Many of the forty communi-

directions to the commissioners sent to Virginia. ‘The correspondence between
the King and the colony during those months of struggle concerned the latter
commission and established the royal authority, but the letters from the colony
were addressed to the company as late as the close of the year, six months after
the judgment was rendered in the quo warranto suit.
The record of this suit is found in the coram rege roll of the Kings Bench. In
the entry the usual writ served upon the company is followed by the information
read by Edward Offley, the attorney for the company, citing the letters patent of
1606 and especially of 1609. It enumerates the rights granted to the corporation,
and claims that other privileges were never used. ‘The third document is the reply
of Attorney-General Coventry in which he prays for the conviction of the accused
on account of the usurpation of privileges, and cites those mentioned in the infor-
mation, claiming that there had not been sufficient answer in any point. The answer
of Nicholas Ferrar and others states that the company is ready to verify its rights
as quoted. The judgment was rendered on the morrow of Holy Trinity, and
declares that Nicholas Ferrar and the others are convicted of the usurpation of
privileges and that the ‘‘said privileges are taken and seized into the hand of the
King and the said Nicholas Ferrar and others shall not intermeddle but shall be
excluded from the usurpation of liberties, privileges, and franchises of the same so
taken from the King, and that they are to satisfy to the King his fine for the usurpa-
tion of said privileges.” The writ of guo warranto was issued out of the Kings
Bench on the Tuesday next after the morrow of All Souls (November 4, 1623).
The suit was opened on the Friday after the quindecim of St. Martin’s (November
28), and was then postponed until the eighth of Hillary (January 20). It was
postponed a second time to the quindecim of Easter (April 11), and judgment was
finally rendered on the morrow of Trinity (May 24, 1624).
VALUE OF THE VIRGINIA RECORDS
It has been the purpose of this paper to give to the reader a knowledge of
what records the Virginia Company kept and to afford a guide to the extant
records, us well as to indicate the character and importance of the various col-
lections of records and of the various classes of documents. The value of this
series of papers is threefold—it discloses the organization and activity of the
company; it aids in an understanding of the various problems, policies, and con-
ditions of the State under the early Stuarts; and it is of great importance in a
study of the entire movement of the earlier and of the later century for
exploration, for trade, and especially for colonization.

104 INTRODUCTION
The object of the previous discussion has been to show that an intimate knowledge
of the mechanism of the company, of the methods of other corporations and business
houses, of the policies of the company toward the plantation, of the growth of the
colony, and of the change in the attitude of the Crown may be gained from the
various documents. Thus the value of the records in revealing the methods employed
by the company in conducting its courts, in keeping its books, in securing capital, and
in finding investment which would result in immediate returns and enable the com-
pany to transport men to the colony, has been pointed out. The evidence of the
change of the plantation from a colony for exploitation to a colony for settlement,
and the consequent effort of the company to stimulate exploration, settlement, and
the development of resources, as well as the proof of the liberality of the proprietors
in advancing self-government, has been outlined.
The indication in the records of the colony that the control changed from absolute
authority centralized in the governor to local management and government through
a representative legislative assembly, and that the social conditions developed from
life in a few compact settlements to plantation life has been suggested. Moreover,
the documents which show the efforts of the joint-stock companies to gain protection
and become privileged monopolies, on the one hand, and the tendency of the Crown,
on the other, to utilize the company to relieve the country of its undesirable popu-
lation, to secure a share in the revenue, and finally to assume the full proprietorship
of the colony has been cited.
The court book and other records of the company have another value in that
they incidentally aid in an understanding of many problems of the government. Thus
the attitude of the King toward the company was much influenced by his desire for
marriage relations with Spanish royalty. Various questions of policy were often
discussed in the meetings of the company, such as the freedom of trade and of
fishing, monopolies, customs, and shipping, while the financial aid given to colo-
nization by Spain is cited in contrast to the action of England, and the favor
to the Spanish colonies by the State in allowing the sole importation of certain
products was dwelt upon. The desire to cement the colony to the State and the
necessity of avoiding separation was much emphasized, but the wisdom of allowing
self-government to the colony was never once forgotten. In fact, the argument that
democracy was unavoidable, since the planter had the privilege of the adventurer,
was urged in opposition to the accusations of the King that the company favored
democratic forms. This spirit in the company is also seen in the tendency to
address Parliament whenever possible, as illustrated in the movement for a new
patent and in the settlement of the tobacco question.
The economic and industrial situation in England is perhaps better revealed than
any other phase of affairs. Thus the commodities which were in demand and not

produced in England, the rates of such commodities, the prices of necessities, and
the system of vending goods were all matters of great importance to the company,
and appear again and again in the various documents. The poverty of skilled lubor
is shown in the necessity the company was under to go to the Continent for men to
superintend and carry on every industry which it attempted to establish in’ the col-
ony. Dutchmen, Swedes, Poles, and Frenchmen were thus imported for conducting
sawmills, cultivating silkworms, and making potash, clapboards, salt, wines, and
glass. When engineers for constructing fortifications were desired, General Cecil
declared that he had not men for the purpose, but hoped he might be able to recom-
mend some Frenchmen of ability. The papers which concern the transportation of
vagabonds and of boys and girls furnish a comment on a special phase of social
life, while the spirit of the entire records reveals the demand for an outlet for
activity and an opportunity for investment.
Throughout, the minutes of the courts and the correspondence and references
to the other trading companies emphasize the strong similarity between their
organization and that of the Virginia corporation. Illustrations of this fact are seen
in the citation of the precedent from other joint-stock companies of employing a
deputy and a director, of the salaries paid in the Kast India Company, and of the
liberty of trade enjoyed by the Muscovy Company; while among the Ferrar papers
are drafts of petitions from the Commons to the King in the writing of Nicholas
Ferrar on behalf of the Turkey merchants and of the ‘‘Ginny and Binny” company,
showing the intimate relations between the different movements.
Perhaps the most important result of a study of the Virginia Company comes
from the knowledge which may be gained of the whole movement which had as its
object exploration, trade, and settlement before and since the time of the company
in all of the colonies. In its records are to be found one of the earliest sources of
information concerning colonial experience from the English standpoint, and hence
through them may be gained an understanding of the way in which proprietary
colonics were established; of the development of the plantation into a colony of
settlement; und of the consequent relation between the settlers and the proprietor.
These steps as well as those by which the Crown was led to resume the authority
and to establish a royal proprietorship in place of that of a company or of an indivi-
dual, und the consequent development of the freedom of the settler were repeated
in the history of all of the proprietary colonies of America.

5. Che Hate of the Original Records ”
It was in July, 1622, that the controversy between the factions in the company
was first brought before the Privy Council, and, strangely enough, the plaintiff was
John Bargrave, who later championed those whom he now accused. The complain-
ant declared that he had lost 6,600 pounds through the ‘‘unjust practices and
miscarriage of government” on the part of Sir Thomas Smythe and Alderman
Robert Johnson. The matter was referred to a committee composed of Lord
Viscount Grandison, Lord Brook, the master of the rolls, Lord Keeper Coventry,
and Secretary Conway, but the affair dragged on in the council until it was finally
settled on January 22, 1622/3, by its ordering Bargrave to forbear troubling Sir
Thomas Smythe.? From that time the battle between the factions in the company had
begun. The tobacco contract between the lord treasurer as representative of the
King onthe one hand and the company on the other, which had occupied so much of
the time of the courts, was allowed by the Privy Council on the 2d of February.¢
But the spirit of conflict was seen in the entire correspondence, and during the few
succeeding months bitter complaints concerning the mismanagement of affairs in the
colony were made by Nathaniel Butler in his Unmasking of the Colony of Virginia
and by Alderman Johnson in his Declaration.4 That both of these originated in the
Warwick faction has been revealed by the Manchester papers.
On April 17 a committee headed by Lord Cavendish was summoned before
the Privy Council to defend the Virginia Company against the ‘‘ grievances of
Planters and Adventurers.” As a result, the first blow was struck at the liberty
@That the Virginia Company had a large number of records which are not now extant has been
revealed by a study of the existing documents. In addition to the original court books and the five
other records provided for by the ‘‘Orders and Constitutions’’ there were the books created at a later
date, the duplicates of patents and grants, the petitions, and all of the account books of the various
magazines and joint stock companies. If the papers of the private plantations and hundreds which
are represented by the Smyth of Nibley papers, were added to these, the volume of missing records
would become very great. .A discussion therefore of what resources have been searched, though in
vain, seems desirable, in order to aid further investigation.

108 INTRODUCTION
of the company when the Privy Council announced that it was the King’s intention
that a commission should be appointed to inquire into the state of the Virginia
and Somers Islands plantations. From that time the affairs of the company were
under surveillance, and the correspondence, the trade, and even the personal liberty
of its officers were subject to restraint. ‘The company was immediately forbidden
to receive any private letters except on its own business, while on the 28th of the
same month its letters were disallowed by the Priyy Council because they failed
to ‘‘certify the King’s grace to the Colonies.” Already the court books and other
writings had been required of the secretary of the company, as is shown by a
receipt for the same, dated April 21, among the Ferrar papers. This receipt was
given to Edward Collingwood by the clerk of the council. As a concomitant the
council dissolved the tobacco contract and reduced the former customs on tobacco
from twelve to nine pence per pound. It allowed the companies the sole importation
of tobacco, but it required that the whole crop should be brought into England.?
There were other acts which partook of the same spirit as the interference with
the correspondence and business of the company. On May 13 the Privy Council
ordered that Lord Cavendish, Sir Edwin Sandys, and Nicholas and John Ferrar
should be confined to their houses, a punishment inflicted for a contempt of an
order of the council table against the use of bitter invectives, and brought
about by the complaint of the Earl of Warwick. Lord Cavendish was in restraint
five days and the others eight days. The release came as a result of their
‘acknowledgment of offence and expression of sorrow.”* The threat of the King
was carried out, and the declaration of war was made on May 9 by the appointment
of a commission to investigate the disputes in the Virginia Company and to report
upon their method of procedure.
The danger of confiscation of the company’s records was fully realized for the
the first time on May 22, 1623, when the Privy Council enforced a previous order to
surrender ‘‘ all Charters Books, (and by name the blurred Book or Books), Letters,
Petitions, Lists of Names and Provisions, Invoyces of Goods, and all other writing
whatsoever, and Transcripts of them, belonging to them.” The new order declared
that the ‘‘ Blurred Book or Books” had been kept back. The documents were to be
surrendered to the clerk of the council, but the custody of the records was given to
the commissioners. Each party was to have free use of them ‘‘in such sort as to ye
Commissioners shall seem good.” Furthermore ‘‘all Boxes & Packages of Letters
which hereafter shall be brought over from Virginia or ye Summer Islands during
this Commission” were to be ‘‘ immediately delivered to ye Commissioners by them

FATE OF THE ORIGINAL RECORDS 109
to be broken open, perused or otherwise disposed [of] as they shall find cause.” ¢
The records were in the possession of the clerk of the council from the date of this order,
or earlier, until November 7, 1623, as is shown by a warrant bearing the latter date,
in which the commissioners of May 9 required of the council a ‘‘ trunk of writings”
locked up under the custody of the Privy Council to be delivered to the *S bearer.”
A careful search for the missing papers must commence at this point. Although
the records, or at least the court books, were later returned to the company, some of
them may have been retained by the commissioners or by individuals thereof.
Therefore, hidden away in the collections of the heirs of these men, it might be
supposed, would be found the much sought-for documents. The members of this
commission, created April 17, were Sir William Jones, Sir Nicholas Fortescue, Sir
Francis Gofton, Sir Richard Sutton, Sir William Pitt, Sir Henry Bouchier, and
Sir Henry Spiller.° But, as far as can be determined from personal investigation,
from the report of the Royal Commission on Historical Manuscripts, from conversa-
tion with Sir Henry Maxwell Lyte, of that body, or from other men conversant with
the private and public depositories in England, none of the paper's did remain in the
possession of those commissioners.
A committee of the Privy Council may have had access to these papers, for on
July 22 Lords Grandison, Carew, and Chichester were appointed to take into con-
sideration the reports on the colony and to present to the council orders most fit for
the regulation of the government of Virginia.? Another group of men intrusted
with the investigation of affairs at that time, and into whose hands and private
possession might have come papers belonging to the company, were John Harvey,
John Pory, Abraham Percy, Samuell Matthews, and John Jefferson. This commis-
sion was sent to Virginia for the purpose of investigating conditions, and many of
the documents bearing on their relations with the colony are among the colonial
State papers.
The documents remained in the custody of the commission until November 21,
and were then returned to the secretary of the company. An order in council
declured that all the ‘* Books and writings, whether remayneing in the hands of the
Yom" or elswhor, shalbe fwthw™
deliucred by Inventorie vnto the said Company.”
The complaint had been made by the treasurer that they could not make answer to
the guo warranto which had been issued out of the King’s Bench against the company
without the use of their records.¢ Therefore, from November, 1628, until June,

110 INTRODUOTION
1624, the company was in possession of its documents, and it was during that period
that Nicholas Ferrar was busily engaged in having them transcribed.
The last order which concerned these records from December 30, 1623, until
the company was finally overthrown, in June of the following year—when the organi-
zation, according to Nethersole, became a company for trade and not for government—
was a letter of the council to ‘‘ Nicholas Ferrar, Deputie,” to bring to them unopened
all letters which had come ina ship lately arrived from Virginia.“ That the King
in the meantime was concerned in the preservation of all papers relating to Virginia
is seen in a letter from Secretary Conway to Sir Thomas Merry, in which he was
requested to preserve all papers in the possession of ‘‘ his late cousin,” John Puntis,
vice-admiral of Virginia, and any others which concerned the business.°
Following up the recall of the charter, the Privy Council declared that it was the
King’s intention to renew the charter of the company without the imperfections of
the former grant. A committee was therefore appointed on June 24 to resolve on the
well settling of the colony, to give the orders therefor, and to report to the King for
further directions. This body consisted of Lord President Mandeville, Lord Paget,
Lord Chichester, the lord treasurer, the comptroller, the principal secretaries of
state, the chancellor of the exchequer, the chancellor of the duchy, the attorney-
general, the solicitor-general, Sir Robert Killigrew, Sir Thomas Smythe, Francis
Gofton, John Wolstenholme, and Alderman Johnson.¢
Two days later an order in council was issued instructing Mr. Ferrar, deputy of
the company, to bring to the council chamber all patents, books of accounts, and
invoices of the late corporation and all lists of people in the colony, to be retained by
the keeper of the council chest till further order.? Thus was ended the control of the
government by the old organization, if not of the affairs of the company and
its colony, and thus the records passed into the charge of the clerk of the Privy
Council.
A commission to establish a government in Virginia is to be found in the chan-
cery privy seals under July of the twenty-second year of James I, countersigned to
pass by immediate warrant. The patent roll of the period records this commission,
dated July 15, 1624, by which the Virginia Company was to be supplanted and the
first royal province in America was to be established.¢ The records of the old com-
pany, however, are not lost to sight till three days later. On July 15 the commis-
sioners met at Sir Thomas Smythe’s house and determined that the charters, seals,
and writings of the company were to be brought to Sir Thomas Smythe’s house and
«¥or the order in council creating this commission, see List of Records, No. 608.

PATH OF THH ORIGINAL RECORDS 111
kept in charge of the clerk of the commissioners, H. Fotherby, to be used by the
commissioners at pleasure.@
In the Privy Council register, under date of June 26, 1624, there is an order for
Mr. Ferrar to deposit in the council chamber the papers of the late corporation, and
in the margin is a note which gives the last glimpse of those records. It reads
as follows: ‘‘ Nd: All theis Patents bookes of accounts &c were delivered to
Henry Fotherby clarke to the Comissioners, by order from the Lords the 19 of
July 1624.”?
That these members of the Privy Council and others of the commissioners for
Virginia had all of the original records of the company in their possession at that
date is thus proved. What became of them later can be a matter only of specu-
lation. ‘That they had been so carefully preserved and were deposited ‘‘ for use by
the members of the commissioners,” seems to indicate that the theory of their
destruction by the Crown is not tenable. There are two theories which seem much
more likely. It may be that they passed finally into the possession of the Privy
Council, which evidently soon assumed the burden of the control of the affairs of the
province; for, on May 13, 1625, a royal proclamation arranged for a council which
was to be subordinate to the Privy Council.“ The papers may thus have remained
with the King’s Council until the creation of the commission for Virginia in 1631,
which in turn was supplanted by the Board of Commissioners for Foreign Plantations
in 1634.4 The commission created in July of 1624 was composed of the lords of the
council and ‘‘ certain others,” and the council register seems to indicate that it was
usually the council sitting as a commission. After 1624 the papers, letters, and
instructions were all issued by the council, the commissions to the councillors and to
@List of Records, No. 702.
b Tbid., No. 689.
¢A letter to the Earl of Warwick dated November 16, 1624, bears the signatures of the council
for Virginia as follows: Sir Thomas Smith, Ferdinando Gorges, John Wolstenholme, Samuel Argall,
Thomas Gibby, Samuel Wrot, and John Pory. There had been some question concerning the addition
of names to the commission, but whether this is a portion only of the council of July 15 or a new
organization is uncertain. Jbid., No. 738.
@The members of the commission for Virginia appointed June 17, 1631, were: Edward Ear! of
Dorset, Henry Earl of Danby, Dudley Viscount Dorchester, Secretary Sir John Coke, Sir John
Danvers, Sir Robert Killigrew, Sir Thomas Rowe, Sir Robert Heath, Mr. Recorder [Heneage Finch],
Sir Dudley Diggs, Sir John Wolstenholme, Sir Francis Wiatt, Sir John Brooke, Sir Kenelm Digby,
Sir John Zouch, John Bankes, Thos. Gibb, Nath. Rott [Wrote?], Mr. Sands, John Wolstenholme,
Nicholas Ferrar, Mr. Barber, and John Ferrar. See Colonial Papers, Vol. VI, No. 14.
The commissioners for plantations appointed April 28, 1634, were: William Laud, Archbishop of
Canterbury; Thomas Lord Coventry, lord keeper; Richard Neile, Archbishop of York; Richard
Earl of Portland, lord high treasurer; Henry Earl of Manchester; and seven other officers of state.

112 INTRODUCTION
governors of the colony passed the privy seal and were engrossed on the patent roll,
and the letters or papers from the colony were addressed to the council.
Another theory as to the fate of the records is that they were ut first in charge of
Henry Fotherby, clerk of the commissioners, but that they were gradually scattered
umong the members of the commission most interested in the career of the company
aus the wuthority of the commission became purely that of government. The
members of the commission, created July 15, 1624, in whose families such papers
might be found, are as follows: Henry Viscount Mandeville, Lord President of the
Council, Wm. Lord Paget, Anthony Lord Chichester, Sir Thomas Edmonds, Sir
John Suckling, Sir Geo. Calvert, Sir Edward Conway, Sir Richard Western, Sir
Julius Caesar, Sir Humphrey May, Sir Saville Hicks, Sir Thomas Smith, Sir Henry
Mildmay, Sir Thomas Coventry, Sir Robert Heath, Sir Ferdinando Gorges, Sir
Robert Killigrew, Sir Charles Montague, Sir Philip Carew, Sir Francis Goston
[Gofton], Sir Thomas Wroth, Sir John Wolstenholme, Sir Nathaniel Rich, Sir
Samuel Argall, Sir Humphrey Handford, Mathew Sutcliff, Dean of Exeter, Francis
White, Dean of Carlisle, Thomas Tamshaw, Alderman Robert Johnson, James
Cambell, Ralph Freeman, Morris Abbott, Nathaniel Butler, George Wilmore,
William Hackwell, John Mildmay, Philip Germayne, Edward Johnson, Thomas
Gibbes, Samuel Wrote, John Porey (?), Michael Hawes, Edward Palavacine, Robert
Bateman, Martin Bond, Thomas Styles, Nicholas Leate, Robert Butt, Abraham
Cartwright, Richard Edwards, John Dyke, Anthony Aldy, William Palmer, Edward
Ditchfield, George Mole, and Richard Morer.¢
Had not the receipt from the Privy Council to the secretary of the company
revealed the existence of the early records in 1623, and had not the memoranda of
Sir Nathaniel Rich confirmed the fact,’ the theory might be put forth that the papers
of the early period were burned in the destruction of Sir Thomas Smythe’s house at
Deptford on February 6, 1618/19. The fire at Whitehall on the 16th of January,
1618/19, at which the privy seal, signet, and council records are supposed to have
been destroyed, is sometimes suggested as the cause of the disappearance of the
Virginia records, But the facts given above, in addition to the statement of Sir
Thomas Wilson to the King that there had been but little loss of papers since they
had been transferred to the new oflice refutes that theory.¢
It remains for the future enquirer to examine the collections which are known to
contain papers belonging to the families indicated by the names of the various com-
missioners and of the Privy Councillors for that period. Such investigations are made
difficult by the transfer of papers from one branch of a family to another, necessitating

FATD OF THE ORIGINAL RECORDS 113
a knowledge of the genealogy of the various families represented. Having found the
heirs of the families in question, the search may then be conducted through the reports
of the Royal Commission on Historical Manuscripts. But this is not sufficient. Since
trace of the family is often lost, or no evidence can be found of collections of docu-
ments, it becomes necessary to search through every section of those reports of the
commission for stray sets of papers. The greatest confusion algo results from the sale
of libraries, and while the catalogues of Quaritch or Sotheby may afford a clue to the
offer of such material for sale, often in small lots, the name of the purchaser is not
usually to be discovered. The result is that the student must wait in patience until
the papers have drifted into some great depository—such as the British Museum and
the Bodleian Library—or until they have been made known to the public through
the Manuscripts Commission or by private enterprise.¢
Another difficulty, which can not be overcome by the individual student, is the
insufficiency of the catalogues of early date. This is gradually being met by the
re-issue of catalogues and calendars in the British Museum, and the Bodleian, although
the new catalogue of the latter is only ‘“‘summary.” The Ashmolean and Rawlinson
papers in the Bodleian may afford many surprises. Furthermore, the early reports
of the Manuscripts Commission were often incomplete and too general in character.
However, the more recent volumes are full calendars, and the older volumes may
be republished in time.
In the great collections of the British Museum are brought together the papers
or portions of the papers of a few of the men with whom we are concerned. In
the Lansdowne collection are about one-third of the papers of Sir Julius Caesar,
master of the rolls, which were sold at auction in 1757. Among these have been
found the valuable letters of John Martin and the draft of the commission of 1624.
In 'the Harleian collection, brought together by Robert Harley, Karl of Oxford, at
the close of the seventeenth century, and among the papers of Sir John Cotton, who
was a noted antiquarian of the time of James I, are a few important documents.
The valuable collection of the Marquis of Bath, containing the Cecil papers, has
been recatalogued and found to contain nothing which concerns the company after
1616, and nothing of the earlier period not known to Alexander Brown.
Two other collections, imperfectly calendared by the Manuscripts Commission,
are those of Lord Sackville, of Knole, Seven Oaks, Kent, and of the Earl of
Coventry, Croome Court, Severn Stoke, Worcestershire. Since the statement was
made by John Ferrar, in the later years of his life, that Sir Robert Killigrew had
left the Virginia papers to Sir Edward Sackville, the Earl of Dorset, our interest in
@The search for the records has not only been conducted along these lines, but the collections
belonging to the families of tho oflicers of State under James I, and Charles I, have been investigated.

114 INTRODUCTION
this collection is intensified. Both Sir Robert Killigrew and Richard Sackville, Earl
of Dorset, are seen to have been vitally connected with the company and the settle-
ment of its affairs. Two other connections of this family may have brought together
collections which might contain Virginia papers. Richard Sackville, Earl of Dorset,
married Frances, the daughter of Lionel Cranfiold, the first Karl of Middlesex, and
he himself became heir to the Cranfield house and title as third earl. The first Karl
of Middlesex was the lord treasurer during the régime of the company and figures
prominently as the individual who conducted the quo warranto suit against the -
Virginia Company. Furthermore, Lionel Sackville West is the direct descendant
of Lord De La Warr, of Virginia fame. The combination of the four houses of
Killigrew, Sackville, Middlesex, and De La Warr, which were of so great importance
in Virginia affairs, leads to the hope of a valuable collection of manuscripts. Four
documents are mentioned in the report of the commission, and these refer to the
tobacco trade, but an inquiry of Lord Sackville as to other material in his posses-
sion clicited the reply from Lionel Sackville West that Lord Sackville knew of ‘‘no
other papers at Knole relating to the colony of Virginia than those mentioned in the
report of the commissioners.” It may be, however, that a more careful calendar
of this collection will disclose papers of great importance.
From March 14, 1616, to January 11, 1620, Thomas Coventry was solicitor-
general; later, during the Sandys-Southampton administration of the Virginia
Company, he held the position of attorney-general. On November 1, 1625, he
became lord keeper, and remained in that office during the period coinciding
with the organization of the colonial administration. Hence it was that, when it
was found from the report of the Manuscripts Commission that many of Lord
Keeper Coventry’s papers had not been investigated, the Editor addressed a letter
to the Karl of Coventry, Croome Court. This resulted in a confirmation of the
statement, and a promise to search the papers which are now in the ‘strong
room here.” In a letter to Ambassador Choate, July 27, 1904, the Earl of Cov-
entry made the following statement: ‘‘In company with a son I went through
the boxes containing papers of the Lord Keeper Coventry in which I thought it
likely I might find the documents referring to the Virginia Company of London,
some time ago, but I could discover nothing relating to the company.” The
letter goes on to say that the ‘‘papers are in bad condition and very difficult
to decipher.” Hence the conclusion may be reached that this most likely hiding
place for Virginia records is not to reveal new material.
The collections at Thirlestaine House, Cheltenham, and at Hatfield House, are
extremely valuable, but T. Fitzroy Fenwick, esq., the present owner of the former,
states thut there is no material in that collection relating to the early history of
Virginia, and a manuscript catalogue, kindly loaned to the writer by Lord Salisbury,

FATE OF TUL ORIGINAL RECORDS 115
indicates that the papers at Hatfield House, now being calendared, have no bearing
on the subject in hand.
By tracing the family connections of the descendants of Sir Thomas Smythe and
the Earl of Southampton intermarriages are found which might result in the location
of valuable papers in many of the large depositories, All of these have been
investigated by the Manuscripts Commission. Thus, from Sir ‘Thomas Smythe the
documents might have been inherited by the first or the second Karl of Leicester;
by Sir Sydney Stafford Smythe, baron of the exchequer in 1772 and last of the
descendants of the male line; by the eighth Viscount Strangford, vice-president of
‘the Royal Geographical Society, with whose death in 1869 the senior branch of
the family was terminated; and by the present Duke of Marlborough through the
second marriage of Lady Dorothy Sydney Smythe, daughter of Robert, second
Earl of Leicester. The Wriothesley family is to-day represented in the houses of
the Duke of Bedford and of the Duke of Portland, the former having inherited the
London property of Robert, third Earl of Southampton, and the latter the Tichfield
estate.
The large number of documents among the Smyth of Nibley papers? suggests
that in private collections may be many records which concern the private enterprises
or companies formed within the corporation for setting out plantations and carrying
on trade. Other groups of manuscripts and early books have seemed to offer
opportunities for the discovery of the missing records. But the Lambeth Palace
Library, the college libraries both of Oxford and of Cambridge have proved value-
less, with the exception of that most important group in Magdelene College,
Cambridge. Every one of the college libraries, has been searched or investigated,
but tonoavail. All Souls College, Oxford, contains a collection of manuscripts which
may afford a few papers on the subject when it has been more carefully catalogued.
The fact that the original records of the company before 1619, and a compara-
tively small portion after that date have not been discovered has led gencrally to
the conclusion that the party of the Crown destroyed the evidences of the misman-
agement during the first decade and of the comparatively prosperous condition in
the second. ‘That they failed to take into account the records in the colony and the
Ferrar transcripts of the court book is the good fortune of posterity. But the
dostruction of the records can not proporly be considered as proved until the public
collections have been more carefully calendared and the private collections have
been more thoroughly investigated. The absolute lack of evidence that the Crown
and its supporters held such an attitude and the knowledge that the commissioners
took the records into their charge ‘‘for use” encourages the hope that a faithful
endeavor to discover their location may yet be rewarded by success.

List of Records
THE VIRGINIA COMPANY OF LONDON
EXPLANATORY NOTE
This list includes all documents, letters, publications, or other records of the Virginia Company,
or relating to the company between 1616 and 1625, which the Editor has been able to discover, and
also those previous to 1616 which are not published or cited by Alexander Brown in the Genesis of the
United States. The object in compiling the list has been to give to the student of history the necessary
information concerning each document in as convenient form as possible in order to aid him in finding
or in identifying the papers. The documents have been arranged in chronological order, but with
the provision that whenever the day of the month is uncertain the document has been placed at the
beginning of the month, and when the month is not known it has been placed at the beginning of the
year. Thus, at the first of each year and of each month will be found the undated papers, or those to
which it has been impossible to assign dates. The subject-matter, as well as the title and the name of
the author has been given rather for identification than to serve as a calendar, since it is the aim
of this series to publish all material except that which is purely supplementary. The documents
which it is intended to publish in this series, if the privilege can be secured, have been indicated by
an asterisk. The title has been quoted wherever possible, and the orthography of proper names has
heen made to conform to that of the document. The location, indicated by abbreviated forms, and the
reference, following the abbreviation, Ref., of every edition, contemporary copy, or later transcript
has been given, but the description of the document is either in the introduction or will be found in
connection with its publication in the succeeding volumes. Wherever the paper has been published
or culendared the reference has been cited after the abbreviation, Pub. . The material has been classi-
fied with regard to source or authorship and the classes have been indicated by Roman numerals,
placed to the left of the
second volume of the series. It has been found necessary either to abbreviate or to use symbols
for the names of the libraries or collections in which documents are found, and those abbreviations
have been placed at the extreme right hand of the page.
“reference.” The bibliographies have been included in the index in the
CLASSES OF DOCUMENTS
1. Fundamontal documents, emannting from the Crown,
Il. The court book of the company.
III. Documents issued by the company: instructions, commissions, grants, receipts, official corre-
spondence.
IV. Records of the colony: court book, orders, reports, letters.
V. Publications of the company.
VI. Private papers of individual adventurers.
VII. Supplementary correspondence and records of nonmembers of the company.

212 /¢ RECORDS OF THE VIRGINIA COMPANY
according as they were desired haue attended the Tt’ and receaued their
approbaéon of the orders by them conceiued: W™ orders were now
presented to the Court; where after they were twice read, (being putt
to the question) they were confirmed by a Generall erecGon of hande.’
This Quarter Court according to the Lies Pattents being chiefly
ordayned for the electon of Officers: M* Trer desired the Court that
before he left his place, he might acquaynt them w' two messages
Lately reé from the King: The one was, that he receaued a tre from
m’ Secretarie Caluert that his Ma’ had sent a man vp suspected
for Deere stealing, to be transported for Virginia; and vnderstanding
that M’ Iohn fferrar had a shipp shortly to goe thither, || desired || that
his Ma“ resolugon might be fulfilled therein. The other was, that
this morning there came a messenger of the Chamber to vnder-
stand of the welfare of the Plantation, his Ma” hauing heard that
a Shipp was come from thence: And so desired the Court to
proceed to the choice of their Officers, signifying that for these
Twelue yeares he hath willingly spent his Labo's and endeauo”™ for
the support thereof: and being now appointed by the Kinge a
Comissione’ of his Nauie he could not give such good attend-
ance as he therein desired. Requesting the Court to shewe him
so much fauo’ as now || to || dispence with him, and to elect [2]
some worthy man in his place, for he had resolued to relinquish it,
and therefore desired that two requests might be graunted him for all
his service done vnto them. ffirst that he ma¥ || might || haue their
good report according as he hath deserued: And secondly that his
account might be w™ all speed audited, that before he dyes, he might
see the same cleered, and receiue his Quietus est vnder the Companies
seale. W the Co” finding his resoluGon to be settled, and that he
would not stand in eleccon; they proceeded according to the Last
Standing order now read, to make choice of their Treasuro’ S' Edwin
Sandis, S‘ [ohn Wolstenholme and m’ Aldfan Iohnson being nomi-
nated and accordingly ballated, the Lott fell to St Edwin Sandis to
be Trer, he hauing 59 balls, Sir Io: Wolstenholme: 23: and Aldfan
Iohnson: 18: wherevpon his oath was administred.?

industry requisite for soe greate a busines; That therefore in some
sort according to their abillities, it were fitting to express their thank-
fullnes for his good endeauours in conferring Twenty shares vpon
him: w" being put to the question, it was agreed he should haue
Twenty greate shares and was confirmed vnto him by a Generall
erecGon of handes.
This Court was acquaynted, that the Lord of Salisbury desired the
admittance of Captaine ’ Brett into this ffellowshipp, and to
that end his Lo? hath giuen him Two of.his shares in Virginia,
requesting that he might be suffered to sitt in the Courté, and as
occasion serueth to sollicite his busines. W the Court hath willingly
graunted vnto him, so as the same be donne according to the orders
of the Company.
Vpon the request of Captaine Daniell Tucker for this Court to con-
ferr 20 shares vpon him for his fiue yeares service spent in Virginia,
aswell for his personall Adventure, as for the severall Offices and
eminent places w’" there he held and executed, as namely, Capemer-
chant, Prouant M’, one ot the Counsell, Truck M’ and Viceadmirall,
wherein by reason of shortnes of time, was now referred to the Gen-
erall Comittee to giue him reward as they shall thinke fitt.

216 RECORDS OF THE VIRGINIA COMPANY
Mr. Treasurors second Proposiéon was, that there might be another
Comittee for the constituting of Lawes and setling of a forme of Gov-
ernem’ ouer all Virginia, appointing Magistrates and Officers there-
vnto, and expressing their seuerall dueties: w*" the Court generally
did very well approue of and haue nominated the former Comittee,
and licenced any of the Counsell to repair vnto them, and to haue
their voice, and haue added of the Company to be assisting 8S’ Thomas
Wroth, m* Thomas Gibbs, m’ D’ Gulson, Captaine Bingham, m’ W™
Kssington, m* Edward Ditchfield, m* Thomas Kightley, m’' W™ Caninge,
m* Henry Briggs and mr. Thomas Wheatley to meet at the same time
and place vpon ffriday ffourtenight being the 28" of this instant.
Mr. Thier intimated to the Court, that whereas S' Thomas Smith at
the resigning vp his place should report that there was —4000" for
the new Treasuro’ to enter vpon, he now signified that it was true if
the Lotteries were dissolued and the account giuen vp: but in the
interim there resteth but One thousand poundes in Cash the rest in
Stock remayning in the hands of him that hath the managing of the
busines, and out of this there is debts to pay, and w‘" shortly wilbe due
to pay the some of—3700"— viz" old pour debts of Ten yeares old 1800"—
and att the returne of the Shipps S' Geo: Yeardley went in, and the
other wherein the Children was transported will amount to—1148"—
as also 700"—w*" is owing to the Collec@on mony, w*" by warrant hath
beene yssued out for the vse of the Company; And therefore it was
putt to the question whither the Stock remayning should goe or not
to the payment of the Companies debts, w* was by erecéon of hande
allowed that it should. And further,agreed that the remaynder
should be employed either in sending men to the Publique Land to
rayse benefitt that wayes or in transporting of Cattle, w hereafter
may seeme fittest.
And forasmuch as there is now remayning in the hands of Gabriell
Barbor much old plate w” if the Lottaries were finished, the Com-
pany thereby should sustayne great Losse: It was therefore now
ordered (vnlesse some can give lust informaéon of any perticu-
ler abuse) that the same shall continue to be drawne out till
the last of Nouember next ensuing & then to cease and determine. [5]

And forasmuch as S’ Thos. Smith is very importunate for the speedy
auditing of his Acc’? and to that end hath desired some others to be
associated vnto the Audito® namely, m* Morris Abbott, m* Humph:
Handford, and m*’ Anthony Abdy: It is therefore ordered, that if he
so please these three shalbe annexed vnto them, either as Audito™ or
as assistants to see the passage of the busines, that S' Thomas Smith
haue noe wrong: but if it be his pleasure to allowe of them to be
Audito™, then the next Quarter Court they to take their Oaths for the
preventing of all partiallity, and m* Thomas Keightly is also chosen to
be associated to the Audito™ and to take his oath. And in asmuch as
the great paines allready spent by the Audito™ hath gayned to them
selues a more perfect vnderstanding than those w™ shall newly enter
eann be capable of. Therefore it was moued that Three of the old
Audito™ might be of the Coram, and that nothing should be concluded
w" out two at least of their consents; W*" Proposiéon was well allowed,
and mr. Thier, S* Io: Dauers and mr. Wroth being thereto nominated,
and put to the question, it was by erecéon of hand confirmed.
Captaine Brewster hauing formerly by way of appeale deliuered vnto
the Court a, certaine writing touching the proceedings of Captaine
Samuell Argoll against him at the arriual of the Neptune in Virginia,
and the manner of his tryall, and being at this Court ready to mayn-
tayne the same, and to obiect other grievances against him, he was
wished rather to forbeare till the said Captaine Argoll were p'sent:
and in the interim haue thought it convenient to deliuer vnto the said
Captaine Argollacoppy of the said writing of Appeale to make answere
vuto the same, and haue appointed him to put in his other Articles
vpon ffriday morning next to m‘ Thier and m' Deputy to be by them
pervsed and deliuered into the next Co", and the next Quarter Court
to heare the Appeale.
Lieftenant Stokes made request vnto the Court, that they would please
in reguard of the Adventure of his person and his Long time spent in
Virginia to bestowe some Land vpon him there for the same; w™ they
found to be now noe convenient time for that purpose; butif at y° next
Q' Court he procure it to be moued for him, that Court will take thereof
due consideraéon.

in Virginia: The first haue mett as they were desired, and at the next
meeting hope to make an end, & present them to the Quarter Court
ensuing: ffor performance thereof haue desired further reference of
the second Comittee till ffriday after this Quarter Court, because
being a busines very waighty, it can not so soone be well digested ;
but they will prepare and make them ready for the approbaéon of a
Quarter Court in Michaelmas terme.
The busines formerly putt to arbitrement, and referred by the Com-

party.
Captaine Brewster hauing deliuered Articles obiected against Captaine
Samuell Argoll touching his governement in Virginia, to m* Treasuror
and m* Deputy, as the Last Court required, the same was now pre-
sented: Vnto w™ order is giuen that Captaine Argoll haue a coppie
of them, as also of the writing of Appeale formerly deliuered in that
he make answere therevnto: And also that the said Captaine Samuel]
Argoll (against the next Quarter Court) be warned to bring in his
writt of discharge.
The Last Court wherein m‘ Thier was desired to repaire to m* Atturny
Generall to learne the Contents of a Pattent w™ should be graunted [7]
to one Sumerscales about Tobacco. He now acquaynted them that he
had performed that trust, and findeth it to be very preiudiciall to this
Company, if the same should passe therefore advised that there might
forthw" be a course taken for to prevent and stopp the proceeding of
it: w being taken into consideraéon, the Court haue desired m' Tfer
to goe againe to m* Atturney Generall and to take some more paines
for to hinder the going forward of the same, and haue associated to
goe along w” him Generall Cecill, S" Io: Wolstenholme, m‘’ Aldef

220 RECORDS OF THE VIRGINIA COMPANY
Counsell shalbe assembled to take such further course therein as shall
seeme requisite m’ W™ Palmer was desired to write to m‘ Sumerscales
to meete them at that hower at m’ Atturnies.
It was also by m' Téer propounded to the Co" as a thing most worthy
to be taken into consideraGon both for the glory of God, and hono’ of
the Company, that forasmuch as the King in his most gracious fauo"
hath graunted his Lres to the seuerall Bishops of this Kingdome for
the collecting of monies to erect and build a Colledge in Virginia for
the trayning and bringing vp of Infidells children to the true knowl-
edge of God & vnderstanding of righteousnes. And considering
what publique notice may be taken in foreslowing to sett forward the
acéon, especially of all those w hath contributed to the same, that
therefore to begin that pious worke, there is allready towards it
—1500",—or thereabouts, whereof remayning in cash 800", the rest is
to be answered out of the Stock of the Generall Company for so much
w*" they borrowed, besides the likelihood of more to come in; _ ffor
m’ Treasuro’ hauing some conference w" the Bishop of Lichfield, he
hath not heard of any Collecéon that hath beene for that busines in
his Diocese; but promiseth when he hath a warr' therevnto he will w™
all dilligence further the enterprize; Wherevpon he conceaued it the
best fittest; that as yet they should not build the Colledge, but
rather forbeare a while; and begin first with the meanes they haue to
provide and settle an Annuall revennue, and out of that to begin the
erecéon of the said Colledge: And for the performance hereof also
moued, that a certaine peece of Land be Laid out at Henrico being
the place formerly resolued of w* should be called the Colledge Land,
and for the planting of the same send presently ffifty good persons to
be seated thereon and to occupy the same according to order, and to
\|hauel] halfe the benefitt of their Labo’ and the other halfe to goe in
setting forward the worke, and for mayntenance of the Tuto™ &
Schollers. He therefore propounded that a Shipp might be prouided
against the begining of August, to carry those ffifty men w" their
prouisions, as also to send ffiftie persons more to the Comon Land w™
may raise a Stock for the paying of dueties there and defraying the
Companies charge here, and to send provision of victualls w™ them for

a yeare: And for the defraying the charge hereof did also propound
the meanes; first for the Colledge there was mony in Cash, and besides
it may saue the Ioint stock the sending out a Shipp this yeare, w°" for
4* a pound they will bring from thence all their Tobacco w” may arise
to ffive hundreth poundé besides mony that may come in otherwise to
[8] helpe to beare the charge of the voyage; W*" Proposiéon was well
liked but the time and season not allowed of all; and by some
obiected, that the Generall Plantacon should receaue much mony if
more men were sent ouer soe sodaynly before those that are allready
gone haue procured wherew''all to subsist; as also being a matter of
greate consequence it did more propperly belong to the deciding of a
Quarter Co": but the former reasons being answered; and _ being
further alleaged if it were till then prolonged the time would be past
for their provisions of beefe, beere, and meate. Wherevpon after
Long arguing and disputing thereof it was agreed to be putt to the
question; W‘" being propounded whether a shipp should be sett out
to carry men for these two good vses and be sett out at the publique
charge—(viz') w 50 Passengers for the Colledge Land, and 50 for
the Comon Land, it was by generall consent, and erecéon of hande
allowed and confirmed.
One m’ Weyncop comended to the Company by the Earle of Lincolne
intending to goe in person to Virginia, and there to plant himselfe and
his Associats presented his Pattent now to the Co"; w™ was referred
to the Comittee that meeteth vpon ffriday morning at m’ Treasuro™
howse to consider and if need be to correct the same.

Ace? depending in Audite, w S" Tho: Smith tooke some excepéons,
that three or fower should now contradict that account, whereof 16
worthy and sufficient men allowed, and the party in Court that writt
the same, who would be deposed vpon his Oath that it was the same
then made and written: And therefore made two request¢; first, that
this Account may stand, and the Audito™ to proceed from thence, if
noe iust excepGons can be taken against it. And secondly that by
reason of his extraordinary busines, dishabillity in body, and he
because he would be ready to answere to any difficulty, requested, that
the Audite might be kept at his howse, and to goe forward w™ the
Ace? of the Cashe, w he onely is ingaged for and noe other; And
what damage appeareth hath beene done to the Company by such
Officers as he trusted he will satisfy to the vttmost: But vpon profes-
sion that the said lawe was not to preiudice or debarr S' Thomas
Smith from the benefitt of the said old Accompte, they were agreed
to be putt to the question: W™ being done, they were generally con-
firmed by erecéon of hand.
Afterward vpon the exhibiting of a writing signed by ffower of the
Auditors in answere of 8S’ Thomas Smiths moéon touching the sayd
Account; Sir Thomas Smith vpon pervsall of the said writing and to giue
allmen satisfacéon, gaue his consent that the present Audito™should pro-
ceed w his Account from the beginning: And touching the keeping of
[11] the Audite at Sir Thomas Smiths howse being disliked by the
Audito”, and obiected by some of them, that howsoeuer they might
haue vse of S' Thomas Smith, yet they should' have more vse of S'
Edwin Sandis by reason of his experience therein, whose busines would
not permitt him to come so farr. W" was answered by S' Thomas
Smith, that others might be found to haue as much experience in
Accounts, as he, and be more fitter in reguard of his greate busines: Yet
notw"standing to determine this Controuersy, he would referr him-
solfe to the most voice of the Audito”, whither they would be willing to
meete at his house or not. The moGon being well liked, it was ordered,
that the seauen Audito™ chosen by the Quarter Court of elecéon, and
fower others by a former Court annexed vnto them, and allowed at
this (so that they take their Oaths) namely, m"™ Morris Abbott,

226 RECORDS OF THE VIRGINIA COMPANY
m’ Humphrey Handford, m’ Antho: Abdie and m* Thomas Kightley
doe assemble vpon Munday morning at 5° Hdwin Sandis about the
Accompte@, and there to appointe the time and place of meeting, and
to adiourne it from time to time as they shall see cause.
A former Act of Court made 26” die Maij, touching the setting out a
shipp w" one hundred men for the Colledge and publiq, Land, was
now agayne propounded by m' Threr: W being putt to the question,
receiued the confirmaéon of the Court; and agreed that the said shipp
should be ready to sett out soone after the middest of July at the fur-
thest, that by the blessing of God they may ariue there by the end of
October, w‘" is the fittest and seasonablest time for men to doe some
busines.
Captayne Brewsters appeale against Captaine Samuell Argoll touch-
ing his condempnaéGon in Virginia being referred to the hearing of
this Court; and now questioned by the said Captaine Brewster whither
he were Gouerno’ or noe, imagining that at their Landing he had
receaued his writt of discharge; and if it were so whether he dealt
iustly, proceeding as he did against him in Marshall Lawe, being onely
in case of muteny and rebellion that the same should be executed.
Touching the point whither he were Gouerno’ or noe, it plainly
appeared by a Lre sent vnto him (w“" the said Captaine Argoll now
produced) signed by some of the Counsell and Company, that at the
Landing of the Lo: Lawarr in Virginia, he should surrender vp his
place; W seeing it pleased god to take his To” Life from his mortall
body before he Landed there, this point stood ecleere that he remayned
Gouerno’, in statu quo prius. ffor the other point whether tustice
were executed in performing his tryall by Marshall Lawe, because the
Court found it more convenient for the busines to be more priuately
handled, it was ordered, that the Counsell should be summoned to
meete to morrow morning at my Lo: of Warwickes house at eight of
the Clock there to decide the business and report to the Court.
This Court taking into consideraGon the worthynes of some Noblemen
and others now present by giuing their dilligent attendance from time
to time to the benefitt and furtherance of the Plantaéon, as namely

Rich, m' John fferrar deputy and Captaine Nath: Butler haue now [12]
made choice of them to be of his Ma* Counsell for Virginia, and each
of them being putt to the question was generally ratified by ereccon
of hand@, and are appointed to |jattend|| my Lo: Chamberlaine for the

The request of diuers of the Generallity to the Tfrer, Counsell and
Company of Virginia being presented at this Court, touching the
reforming and rectifying of the Magazine busines, was vpon pervsall
allowed of, and being putt to the question ratified by erecéon of

1. Whereas the Director of the Magazine his Assistants and other
Officers haue vpon the first elec@on continued now in their places
two yeares and vpwards, They desire, that according to the vse of
the Officers for the Company they may be chosen anew eucry yeare,
or that the former may be continued in their places by a new elecéon
yearely.
2. Whereas the Officers of the Magazine haue promised out of the
good¢ returned from Virginia to make a Devision of one Capitall vnto
the Adventurers in Aprill last, and haue not yet performed it, nor
made vp any Accounts to giue the Adventure” satisfaccon, They desire
that they may be required by the Court to performe their promise
imediately, and to make vp their Accounté against the next Court day
and then present them to the Court; And that the Adventurers may
then proceed to a new elecéon.
3. Thirdly that the Officers of the Magazine as well those that are

iust dealing, and trew accompting w°" the Company, aswell as the
Officers of the Generall Company who handle not so greate somes.
4. That all the letters written from the officers of the Magazine to
the Capemerchant, and from the Capemerchant to them may be
entred in a booke by their Secretary, to the end that all men may

5. That the Assembly for the Magazine may be kept when & where
the Courts are to the end the Adventurers may come and speake their
mindes more freely, soe farr forth as they shall haue reason.
fforasmuch as it appeared, that there was more busines to be per-
formed then this Afternoone could well determine; It was moued
that if m* Thyer hereafter shall finde the like, that then he may please
to gine order for the Company to meete both fforenoone & After-
noone, w’" was referred to be considered of by the Comittee for the

and as yet m"™ John Whincops Pattent for him and his Asso-
ciats being to be read, it was ordered that the seale should
be annexed vnto it, and haue referred the trust thereof vnto the
Auditors to examine that it agree w™ the Originall; w™ if it doth
not, they haue promised to bring it into the Court & ecancell it. [13]
A former Comittee appointed concerning Captaine Bargraues busi-
nes, the matter being found difficult, and the time short, The Court
vpon another peticon preferred by Capt Bargraue haue adioyned
vnto them Generall Cesill, S' Dudley Diggs, S' Tho: Cheeke, S* Iohn
Dauers, S' Nath: Rich to meete at Generall Cesills howse to morrowe

230 RECORDS OF TITE VIRGINIA COMPANY
It was moued by m’ Thfer, that the Generall Comittees should forth-
with meete for the setting out this shipp, and furnishing of her w™
good people to be sent to the Colledge and publique Land, w*" hitherto
by defect thereof, the Plantaéon hath beene much wronged: w" [E4]
if the Court would put them in trust for the prouiding of such, they
would intreate the Gentlemen both of Country and Citty to helpe
them therewith. W°" moéon the Court comended and haue desired
m' Thiers assistance therein.
The Counsell hauing mett according to order from the Last Court;
touching the appeal of Captaine Brewster against Captaine Samuell
Argoll, the Court hauing eleered one point concerning his Gouerno'-
shipp, and the Counsell now approuing of the other for his tryall by
Marshall Lawe, holding Captaine Argoll not faulty therein, by reason
he proceeded and followed the example of his Predecesso™, and the
Custome altogether vsed hetherto in that Plantaéon, w*" is likely to
continue till the standing orders for Virginia be made and enacted;
and he being tryed by a Marshall Court, the Counsell held it to be
the Noblest tryall being judged by Souldiers and men of worth. But
forasmuch as it is obiected that the said Captaine Argoll proceeded
vnduely, Capt Brewster comitting noe crime worthy of death, and
being also alleaged that he was first condempned and afterward called
vnto his Answere, w“" the Counsell and Court here cann not iudge of,
but is to be tryed there, where the euidence may be giuen; It was
therefore now ordered, that the said Appeale and Captaine Argolls
answere therevnto shalbe sent inclozed w'"in a tre of the Companies
to S' George Yeardley and the Counsell of State, and they to make
examinacon of the cause and returne Certificate thereof. An oath
was also exhibited by Captaine Brewster, w’ was administred vnto
him in Virginia, w*" is also agreed to be sent for informacon of the
truth thereof.
The Comittee by the Court appointed vpon the peticon of Captaine
Bargraue, touching the suite depending in Chauncery betwixt him and
some Adventure™ of the Magazine, the same Comittee meeting at the
time and place appointed, and considering thereof hauing both bill

reason he was one of the greatest and principall Adventurers and not
well able to goe to any other place: but forasmuch as there is a
standing order, that so long as the generall Company hath an Adven-
ture in any Joint stock, their meetings shalbe where the General] Co™
is kept: im!" Phier and Deputy insisted strongly for the mayntayning
of the said Order, insomuch that it was answered that it were better
a little to dispense w" that said order, then a Generall ffacéon thereby
should be raysed betwixt the Company and adventurers: w°" was
answered by m" Thier that he sawe no reason to feare any such
ffaccon: but for his part if the Adventurers would repay to the
Generall Company their Hight hundreth poundé they haue paid into
the Magazine, they might meete in what place they pleased, and
that might be done w'out breach of order, till then he was sworne
to mayntayne the orders and lawes of the Company vnlesse they
shalbe disanulled by the same wayes and meanes that they are [19]
confirmed. But much dispute growing herein, and the Counsell all
save o[ne] hauing deliuered their opinions to mayntayne the order,
It was at length agree[d] that the said Adventure™ of the Magazine
should be warned to meete here vpon Munday next in the Afternoone
at the Generall Co" to performe such things as in the Last Quarter Co™
had beene ordered, concerning the Magazine and the officers thereof.

Vpon reading the last order in the last Court, touching the place of
meeting of the Magazine Adventurers, m* ThYer signified to the Co",
that by reason of such contrary desires to meete a part, they could
haue noe meeting w™ the Adventurers at all, and therefore shewed
two reasons that might induce them not to fly from the standing order:
One, that the Generall Company hath twice as greate an Adventure
therein, as any of the greatest perticuler Adventurers: And the other,
that hetherto from time to time, their meetings haue beene at the
same time and place, where and when the generall Court¢ hath beene
kept, sauing onely twice: W" was replyed by m’ Aldfan Johnson
Director of the Magazine, that it could not be soe convenient to meete
togethe™ as in meeting a part; because at such meeting 4 wilbe of the
Generality, but if it be for the mayntayning of the Standing order,
that their meetings should be both in one place; it was not unknowne,
but that St Thomas Smith hath offred his howse for them at any time
to sitt in, who being a great Adventurer was worthy to haue a voice
[as] ||stet|| occasion serueth amongst them; and the rather that he

238 RECORDS OF THE VIRGINIA COMPANY
and some others was engaged to the Chamber of London for one
thousand poundé, w if they pleased to cleare them of that bond, he
would consent to meete where they pleased. W'" was answered by
m' Threr, that one reason why they should be vndeuided, was, that
from time to time they might receaue their authority from the Gen-
erall Co™: and m* Aldfan well said, they were not tyed to a perticuler
place of meeting, therefore he would be willing (if the Court should
soe like of it) that they should meet sometimes at S' Thomas Smiths,
at such time as S' Thomas Smith should haue occasion to desire
to be present. And for the 1000" w*" S* Thomas Smith, 8" Iohn Wol-
stenholme, and m™ Alderman Johnson standeth bound he held it not
convenient to haue any Diuident till that were paid. Wherevpon
many in the Court agreeing in opinion w" him, it wasdesired to be [20]
putt to the question; w being propounded, whither the Thowsand
poundé should be paid, that is at interest at seauen p Cent or that
the Vndertakers should remayne in bond@, and a Diuident be made
the Adventurers, by erecGon of hand¢€ was concluded, that the said
vndertake™ should be released, by repaying the said some of 1000"
into the Chamber of London before there should be any Divident.
Next was moued by M’ Thier the prosequuting of the Proposigon
agreed of in the Last Quarter Co", w™ was, that the Magazine should
imitate the order of the Company: ffirst that Officers should be yearely
chosen and sworne & that Se§ a true Acc? should be deliuered in vpon
their Oaths. And first taking into consideracon the choice of their
Directo’, it was propounded whither they would haue one or two,
w was agreed to haue but one; and m* Aldiéan Iohnson being there-
vnto nominated and putt to the question, was by erecGéon of hande
confirmed. Likewise to be assisting to m* Director, choice is now
made of fine Comittees, viz", m' Essington, m’ Rich: Morer, m' Edward
Ditchficld, m*’ Richard Caswell, and m' Berblock. And for Auditors
m' Abraham Cartwright, M" George Chambers, M’ Henry Briggs and
m'* Richard Wiseman, who are desired to be at the next Court to take
their oaths: and also against that time an exact Account be giuen of
the State of the Cash, & what debts is owing, that Gf it may be) halfe
a Capitall may be deuided amongst the Adventurers.

And it was also by m' Thier desired that the 340" w™ the Magazine
oweth to the Generall stock may be forthw"™ paid, he hauing such
extraordinary occasion to vse mony for the setting out the shipp
agreed to be sent, and what cann be proued either by order of Co", or
otherwise to be due vnto them they shall haue it paid, and therefore
when the Auditors now chosen for the Magazine shall haue seene
into the Accounts, they would repaire to the Generall Auditors at his
howse to conclude the differences vpon Tuesday seauennight at two of
the Clock in the afternoone. And against that time did also request
that they would giue themselues vnderstanding of the first Magazine
sett out in the Susan, that the Generall Stock may receaue the mony
due vnto them vpon that voyage, and that the Account may be cleered
wi"out further delay.
M' George Chambers in the behalfe of Martins Hundred desired the
Company to make examinaéon of some abuses offred to their Cor-
poracon by the M‘ and Marriners of the Ship, as also to rectify some
wrong done vnto them by the Capemerchant: Wherevpon the Court
was pleased to call before them the Marriners, administring vnto
them an Oath to answere vnto such Interrogotories as shalbe law-
fully demaunded of them touching Martins Hundred: w™ done the
examinaéon thereof was referred to two of the Counsell and two of the
Company, viz", to m* Aldfan Johnson, m* Morrice Abbott, & m™ Abdy
and m* Cartwright. And for wrong donne by the Capemerchant, it
being not their case alone that complaynes, It was agreed that a tre
should be written from the Counsell to S’ George Yeardley, and that
M' Chambers and others [23 ]'
findeth none soe fitt and convenient for them as m‘ Deputy fferrars,
if it pleased him to let the Company haue her, there being Cabbins
and oucry thing ina readines. But inasmuch asa Publique impu-
taGon was Laid vpon him in the disputing of men to be sent to the
Colledge Land, in saying that he had some priuate end@ in solliciting
it soe hard; he therefore desired to be excused, and that they would
prouide some other, Least in performing their desire he should drawe

JULY 7, 1619 241
The Generall tre being now read, It was moued by m' Thier, that 2
pointe especially therein might be taken into consideraéon ;
1. Whither it be convenient that lbertie be ginen to the Capemer-
chant according as he desireth to barter and sell the Comodities as he
cann and as is vsuall in free trading: As also Liberty to the Inhab-
itants there to barter and sell their comodities.
2. That as he writeth he is ouercharged w'" aboundance of needles
Comodities, and wanteth Ploughes and other necessaries, w°" he hath
often writt for, that it may be thought of how to be remedyed. [24]
To w*" purpose, the Court haue now appointed ffower of the Counsell,
2 of Smiths Hundred and 2 of Martins Hundred, viz" of the Counsell
S' Tho: Gates, m*’ John Wroth, m* Deputy fferrar and Capt Argoll;
ffor Smiths Hundred, m’ Thomas Gibbs and m* Robt Smith; ffor
Martins Hundreth, m* Geo: Chambers, and m*’ W™ Caninge, who
together w'" the Director and Comittees for the Magazine are desired
to meete too morrow in the Afternoone at m’ Treasur™ howse to con-
sider of these Two points, & to pervse the writings, that care may be
taken to redresse what is amisse.
Next according to an order made in the Last Court, m* Thier required
of the Officers then chosen for the Magazine, such Acec® as was then
comitted to their care to be perfected, and brought in as vpon this
day at the furthest: but perceauing that m* Essington was gone and
that noe Account could be presented, being some thing moued that
from time to time they should be putt of and could hane neither paid
the money w*" appeareth to be due to the Company, nor that they
would meete to audite the same, addressed himselfe to m’ Alderman
Iohnson as Director thereof, saying, he would complaine to the Lorde
of the Counsell of it, or comence suite against him. Whereypon
m' Alderman conceauing as he afterward@ said he had threatned him
in his owne person, replied, that he durst not, w" some other angry
worde he then vttered; w°" some of the Counsell tooke excepéons at,
saying, the Court was very much wronged by it, and that if it were
suffered to haue the Treasuror so vsed, there would be noe respect
given vnto him, to w*" the Court consented: And m' Threr for his
part affirmed, that he did not meane m* Alderman otherwise then as

l|he was|| Director of the Magazine, & when he spoke of himselfe he
meant the Virginia Company: Which being putt to the question,
whither the Court vnderstood that he spoke perticulerly of his person,
ov of the Adventurers of the Magazine, if was by most voices affirmed,
that they vnderstood in speaking to him, that he ment of the Maga-
zine Company: And because it should not passe w"out some reproofe
or acknowledgm’ of his part of an error, for preventing the like here-
after soe neere as may be; It was moued by m' W™ Caninge, that the
Co" might presently decide it; and afterward vpon putting the ques-
tion, by generall erecGon of hand@€ agreed that the Counsell now
present being the Ka: of Warwicke, 8’ Thomas Gates, S* lohn Dauers,
S' Nath: Riche, m* John Wroth and m’* Deputy fferrar should meete
too morrow morning at my Lo: of Southamptons, and they together
w" his Ld’ to consider of m’ Aldermans words and to censure him
accordingly.
And because the Court could not now haue the meanes to end the
differences depending betweene the Company and the Magazine
Adventurers, it was desired that m* Threr would please to gine order
for an extraordinary Court for the determining (if it may be) [25]
of the same: who hath appointed, that vpon Tuesday next in the
Afternoone the Company and Officers of the Magazine be warned to
meete at S’ Thomas Smithes.
M‘ Alderman Iohnson being formerly chosen Director of the Maga-
zine did now disclayme the same; but w''all promising that he would
assist the Comittees thereof in any thing he might; but to be the
Director he would not.

244 RECORDS OF THE VIRGINIA COMPANY
the Lo: of Warwick, S' Io: Dauers, 8S‘ Tho: Gates, S' Nath: Rich,
m' Io: Wroth, m* Geo: Thorpe, and m* Deputy fferrar to whome this
busines was formerly referred, now adding vuto their number §* lo:
Wolstonholme, S' Tho: Wroth, should sett downe in writing to be
entred in the Court bookes the iustificaéon w" the Court hath given
to mr. Trer; And should w'"all propose to the consideracon of the
Court the forme of some strict Lawe for the preventing of the like
wrong and abuse in future tyme. '
There was also presented to the Court by the Audito™ and there openly
read this writing ensuing;
Whereas it hath appeared plainly that during the time, that m™ Alderman
Iohnson was both Deputy of the Company and Director of the Magazine diuers
great somes haue beene wrongfully converted from the Cashe of the Company
S$to§ the vse and Cashe of the Magazine, as namely the some of =341=13=4=
of the Companies money was in May—1617—converted to the buying of goode
for the Magazine w*" were sent in the George, and receiued by the Capemer-
chant, and returned in his Acc® w™ the gaine of—85—s—4—And moreouer
in October—1618—the Companies Tobacco growing in their Comon garden
was sold to m™ Abraham Chamberlaine for One hundreth three score and
sixteene pounde; and that some paid into the Cash of the Magazine. And
whereas also there are diuers reciprocall demaunds made both by the Company
and the Magazine for persons and goodes interchangeably transported by each
for other: W*" Account wee the Auditors for the Company haue beene on o*
parts att all times desirous and ready to audite; but haue found noe corre-
spondency nor disposition to the same in the Officers for the Magazine, notw™-
standing o° often requests and diuers orders of Courts, w*" they haue neglected
and broken and doe soe still persist: fforasmuch as it is very apparent vnto vs,
that there isa great some of money of right due to be paid by the Magazine to
the Company, w"out w™ there is noe meanes for the setting out of this shipp
now prepared for the transporting of One hundreth men for Generall service:
And wee haue done o* ytmost endeauo’ therein w™ hath proued fruitles: Wee
ure inforced according to the duty of o* places to present the consideracon
hereof to yo" wisdomes, that some further course may be taken for doing right
to the Company, and advancing the Comion service thereon depending.

This being deliuered by the Audito™, and w™ all the Acc betweene the
Company and Adventurers, which by the helpe of the Courtbooke
(hauing examined it thorough) they haue finished; there onely rest-
eth forthe Court to decide, that if they will allowe of sundry trans-
portazons of men, by former orders in the said booke not menGoned,
that then there wilbe One hundreth poundé¢ lesse for the Company to
receaue: But it growing late it was agreed, and that the Shipp should
be noe longer stayde, that m‘ Thier should make vse of the Three
hundreth poundé€ due vnto the Magazine by the Adventurers of Smiths
hundred, and that the Account betweene them shalbe forthw™ audited :
To w*" purpose my Lord of Southampton hath promised his assistance

m' Alderman, together w” m‘ Essington, m’ Abraham Chamberlaine,
m' Richard Moorer and m* Berblock, are appointed to ioyne w™ the
Audito™ of the Company and so to decide the Controuersy.
fforasmuch as the Collector for Tobacco refuseth to deliuer the Tobacco
now come home, vnlesse the Company will pay twelue pence custome
vpon euery pound weight, w‘" is double aboue the booke of rates, the
same being but six pence, and also being freed by his Ma‘ tres Pat-
tents of Impost and Custome sauing 5 p Cent: It is now agreed, that
a PetiGon shalbe drawne to the Lord€ Comissioners of the Treasury,
and haue desired my Lo: of Warwicke, 8S’ Nath: Riche, m’ Aldfan
Tohnson and m* Brooke to attend their To’ vpon ffriday next in the
Afternoone for the cleering of the same.
It was moued by m' Trer, that in reguard the time of the yeare pass-
eth away, and most of the Company retireth themselues into the
Country, and as yet a great deale of busines is to be performed before
the departure of the Shipp, that a Comittee might be appointed to
meete euery day for the dispatch of the same, and that the Generall
Courts be dissolued till Michaelmas terme, vnlesse there be an extraor-
dinary occasion, that m" Threr or m™ Deputy call an extraordinary
Court; Which being approued of by the Court, there were nominated
S' Iohn Dauers, m' Deputy, m‘ Alderman Iohnson, m’ John Wroth,

you good, and blesse yo" in all your proceeding€ even as he blessed the
howse of Obed Edom and all that pertayned to him because of the Arke
of God, Now that yee seeke the kingdome of God, all thinges shalbe
ministred vnto yo";” This I well see allready, and perceiue that by this your
godlie determinaéon, the Lord hath giuen you ‘‘ fauour in the sight of the peo-
ple, and I knowe some whose hearts are much enlarged, because of the howse
of the Lord our God to procure yo" wealth,” whose greater [30] designes
I haue presumed to outrun with this obla¢on w™ I humbly beseech yo" may
be accepted as the pledge of my Devoéon and as the earnest of the Vowes ‘‘ w
I haue vowed vnto the Allmighty God of Iacobb concerning this thing,” W“ till
I may in part performe I desire to remayne vnknowne and vnsought after.
The thinges are these
A Communion Cupp w"™ the Couer and case.
A Trencher plate for the Bread.
A Carpett of Crimson Veluett.
A Linnen Damaske table cloth.
M* Alderman Iohnson reported, that according to the trust reposed
by the last Court vnto himselfe and some others they had performed,
by being w" the Lord¢ Comissioners about the cleering of the Tobacco
now come home agreable to the Pattent, whoe referred it to S* Lyonell
Cranfield and m* Attorny Generall, but they being out of Towne, he
desired that some other might now be appointed to attend the Lorde
agayne for the finishing thereof: Wherevpon the Court haue desired,
the Lo: of Warwicke, 8‘ Tho: Gates, Capt Nath: Butler, m* Clitherowe
and m’ W™ Caninge to attend them at such time as ffrancis Carter
shall gine them notice that they sitt.
Sir Iohn Wolstenholme moued the Court in the behalfe of Martins
Hundred, that in consideracon of the Losse they haue sustayned by

for euery—12—10—00 they haue therein spent: w" if the Court would
please to graunte, it would encourage them to sett out ffifty men more

To the w, reply was made by S' Edwin Sandis Thier, that hauing

1. ffirst it was contrary to his Ma* Eres Pattents;
2. Secondly it was repugnant to y° Standing orders of the y°Company.
3. Thirdly it failed of the very end it aymed at, for it was not
any advancem! to the planting of Martins hundred.
4. ffourthly it was pretudiciall & that in a high degree to the General]
Plantagon, & to y° strength, peace & prosperity of y° Collony. [381]
He began w" the second reason as being fresh in memory, & reading
the Orders in the title of Graunts, he shewed, that all Lande were to
be graunted either to Planters in Virginia by their persons, or to
Adventurers by their purses, or by extraordinary merritts of service.
That the Adventurers by their purses, were they onely and their Assign -
ees, who paid in their seuerall shares of —12—10—to! .e Comon Treas -
ure for the charges of transporting men to the priuate Lands of the
Adventurers, there was also allowance made to them of 50 Acres the
person. But noe further allowance for any such priuate expences as
was now demaunded.
Then he came to the first reason, and shewed that these Orders were
not newly deuised, but taken out of the Lres Pattent¢, namely the
second & third; diuers passages of w he there openly read, importing
that the Land¢ in Virginia were to be deuided amongst the Adven-
turers by mony, or service and the Planters in person, and that he is
to be reputed an Adventurer by money, who payeth it into the Com-
panies Treasury, insomuch that if any man be admitted for an Adven-
turer, and haue paid in noe mony to the Comon Treasury, he is to be
compelled thereto by suite of Lawe, yea though he neuer subscribed
to any such payment, as is expresly sett downe in the Third Lres
Pattente.
Tirdly he shewed, it was not beneficiall to them of Martins hundred
in point of advantaging their perticuler Plantacgon, for the benefitt
grew not by va bare title to Land, but by cultivating & peopling it so
to reape proffitt, now of such Land it was in every Adventurers power
to haue asmuch as he pleased w'out any other payment: ffor if an
Adventurer (for examples sake) who had but one share of One hun-
dreth Acres would send ouer Twenty men to inhabite & occupy it,

250 RECORDS OF THE VIRGINIA COMPANY
fewer at this day will not doe it, he was by the Orders allready estab -
lished to haue for these 20 an addition of—1000—Acres of Land vpon
a first deuision and as much more vpon a second; And if then he
would also people his—1600—Acres w" Ten score men more, he were
to haue another addition of—10000—Acres more vpon a first deuision
and asmuch vpon a second, & so forward to what extent of Land him-
selfe should desire. On the other side to enlarge a mans right vnto
new Land, and not to make vse and proffitt of the Old, were to increase
a matter of opinion, rather then of realty, & a shadowe rather then
a substance.
Lastly he said it was prieiudiciall to the Generall Plantaéon in many
points of ymportance; first in matter of strength for those titles to
great extent of Land; so to keepe other from it, would be a great
weakning to the Collony by disioyning the parts of it one so farr
from another Vis Vnita Fortior.
Againe it would be a great discouragem' to new perticule’ Plantaéons
if either they must sitt downe of bad land, the best being all taken vp
before in titles, or seeke a seate farr of remote from helpe and society:
Besides whereas by the orders now established, men are to encrease
their owne Landé¢ there by transporting of people, and so by increasing
the Collony in strength & multitude, the vertue and good intent of
this Order wilbe defeated, if men may haue their Landé€ encreased
wout such transportacon, & onely by fauo’ & plurallity of voic€ in Co".
[32] Nowe as this moGon is prieindiciall to y* strength & encrease of
the Plantation, so is it also to the peace thereof, good governmen‘ and
iustice: It is not iust that aman should be paid twice for the same
thing; ffor the men transported they haue allready allowance of Land
—50—Acres the person whither dead or liuing: And the Charges now
spoken of was but in transporting those men. It is not iust, that
things equall should be vnequally valued; As Martins hundred hath
beene at great charges, so Shaue§ diuers other hundreds, so haue
also beene many perticuler persons, Captaine Bargraue alone hath
bought and sett out diuers shipps; if besides the persons transported, he
shall haue allowance of Land oueragaine for all his charges, perhaps
he may take vp a great part of the Riner: What may my Lo: Lawarr

doe? Sir Tho: Gates, and S' Tho: Dale, besides a multitude of other
who haue spent a Large poréon of their HKstates therein and are not
thought on; if all these men come in_w™ their Accounts for all their
tyme, what a confusion & disturbance will ensue thereof? shall wee
deny that to them w*" wee allowe vnto 0° selues? or shall wee admitt
of their demaundé and sett them out Land accordingly? how then
shall wee peeed in examining thei Account¢? how may they be
cleered? when would they be ended? this course is a Laborinth and
hath noe issue. ,
He concluded, that he had allwayes fauoured the desires of Martins
hundred; but for this perticuler, he would not approue it: Howbeit
if men were not satisfied w'" these reasons, he would be well content,
that the matter might be referred to a Quarter Court, vnto w*" it did
more properly belong; and that in the meane time, it might be referred
to the consideragon of a Graue Comittie to be indifferently chosen
out of the Generallity and Counsell.
Vpon this St Edward Harwood propounded, that for satisfaccon and
encouragement of Martins hundred, there might be some quantity of
Land bestowed vpon them by way of gratuity and seruice: w™ was
generally well liked,and the accomplishment thereof referred to the
next Quarter Court, & in the meane time the matter should be pre-
pared by a select Comittee.
And whereas the said 8S‘ Ilohn Wolstenholme Long since Lent the
Company at one time 300" and at another time—100", and after a Long
time receaued it in agayne by Litle somes; that therefore in consid -
eracon thereof, and that he receiued noe interest for the same, he
moued, that the Court would recompence his kindnes by giuing him
some Land; w was now thought reasonable, if the qrter Co" (as they
doe not doubt) shall allow thereof.
Vpon some dispute of the Polonians resident in Virginia, it was now
agreed (notw''standing any former order to the contrary) that they
shalbe enfranchized, and made as free as any inhabitant there what-
soeuer: And because their skill in making pitch & tarr and sope-

It was ordered vpon consideraéon that many principall men departeth
the Court at or before six of the Clock, whereby the said Court is
much weakned, that from henceforward they shall begin at Two, and
end at six: after w time nothing shalbe agreed of, or putt to the
question: w*” was confirmed by erecéon of handé.
The order of the Last Co™ touching the dissoluing of the Courts till
Michaelmas terme, being now putt to the question, was ratified by
Generall consent. And for the Magazine Adventurers, it was licenced
for them to meete where they pleased till the Generall Co™ began
againe, and soe often as they shall see cause, or be invited by any
occasion.
An Act of the Co™ made Decimo quarto die Iunij 1619 concerning a
Pattent graunted to Iohn Woodhefe Gent and his Associat€ is now
by the consent of this Court, & liking of the said Iohn Woodliefe
altered, & is to goe in the name of S' Tho: Wainman & Associate:
And is agreed vpon the request of the said S' Tho: Wainman, that a
Tre of informaéon there of shalbe written to the Gouernor, inasmuch
as it wilbe the qrter Court in Michaelmas terme before it cann passe
the seale, and that in the Interim he desireth land to be allotted,
wherevpon to plant such men, as shalbe by him & his Associat¢ sent

It was made knowne by m' Deputy that the time being expired,
wherin during this terme of vacansye, the Generall Courts (accord-
ing to order) haue discontinued; they are now to proceed againe in
their due course every fortnight, this day moneth being a Generall
qrter Court: And although m‘ Treasuror be yet absent, the Company
will finde at his coming vp next weeke, that he hath not beene want-
ing to the service of Virginia, but both his minde and time wholly
imployed in their busines; conteming’ the meanes of sending large
supphes of men and Cattle for Virginia this next Spring. [384]
A tre being sent from his Ma“ directed to m' Tier and Counsell for
the sending diuers dissolute persons to Virginia, w™ S' Edward
Zouch kn’ Marshall will giue informaéon of; after the Counsell had
pervsed the same, was brought to the boord and read to the Company,

his Ma“ Comaundeé might most speedily and conveniently be effected:

254 RECORDS OF THE VIRGINIA COMPANY
Mr. Wiitm Caninge tooke occasion to expresse some kinde of griefe
for the long want of Courts, in w™ he had hoped of redresse in the
point of what the Co™ had ordered in the busines betweene him and
his Associats defendants against Capt Bargrane in Chauncery, inti-
mating that if the Courts had continued or might be kept at S' Tho:
Smiths he would not doubt of the whote Courts satisfacton otherwise
then had beene. Sir Tho: Smith and others appearing in the behalfe
of him, and the defendants against Capt. Bargraue, but 5" Thomas
could not & others would not come to this place; and therefore wished
that this Court had beene or others might be at Sir Tho: Smiths who
had soe freely and courteously offred his howse; and through his Long
experience and good will to the Acéon, was able to doe the Company
very extraordinary service: w™ point€ concerning the abillities &
courtesyes of S' Tho: Smith were seconded by some others; but M*
Caning farther vrging the reconsideraéon of the Acte of Co™ be-
tweene him and his Associat€and Captaine Bargraue, and vttering some
speeches of discontent, that onely Gentlemen had beene named of the
Comittee, desiring a new refference wherein Citizens might also be
ioyned; he was told of his wonted manner of seeking to interpose differ -
ence betweene Gentlemen and Cittizens, a thing damned heretofore in
Court as tending ¢¢ onely to faction and disturbance of the peace of the
Company: But for the matter of his moéon to haue it renewed againe
in Co" where he might presume to produce other testimony, or parties
that had not either notice or leasure to be present at the former pro-
ceedings, by w” he and his Associat€ had beene vniustlie preiudiced
as he conceiued; Some was of opinion that his moGon was equitable;
neuertheles it was held fitt, it should be referred to be moued againe
at the next Court, w should be like to be of a greater presence;
Likewise wherein Capt Bargraue might be also heard what he might
speake therevnto, least otherwise he might hereafter complaine & so
keepe the Court impertinently imployed to order backward and for-
ward, and euen in a matter twice ordered by a selected Comittee
chosen by the Court, who had a chiefe reguard vnto the ease, as it
appeares in the Court Bookes. [35]

of: And therefore he had to offer to their consideraGon a Propo-
sigon for the inlarging of the Plantation in the publique. And
first touching the Publiqg, he shewed how farr the Company had
allready proceeded. ffirst in Ianuary last there went ffifty men
w'" S' George Yeardley to be Tenant of the Gouernors land,
whereof there failed by the way two or three, and six were now
remayning to him of Capt Argolls guarde. Afterward in Aprill next
twenty men should haue beene sent by Xofer Lawne vnto the
Comon Land, but he deliuered but 15 because the Company per-
formed not w™ him, touching the Loane of Corne and Cattle as he
expected: Then 4 more were sent in the Triall according to the

direcéon of his Ma”’. And in the begining of August Last, one hun-
dreth more sent—50—to the Colledge Land and 50 to the Comon:
And for one hundreth persons or thereabout w*" appeareth to haue
beene sent in these 2 or 3 last yeares at the Companies charges, S‘
Geo: Yeardley writeth of but three to be found remayning for the
Company; So that there is by this Arsount vpon the Comon Land
72 persons, 53 on the Gouernors, and 50 on the Colledges: 175 in the
whole. Therefore he proposed now to be considered of against the
Quarter Court this day fortnight that there might be sent the next
Spring 130 men more, w™ will make those allready sent for the Gou-
erno™ Colledge, and Comon Land the full nomber of Three hundred,
and so the Gouerno’ to haue 100 men w® will not be lesse worth then
One thowsand pounde p Ann as it is esteemed. As for the benefitt
of their labors of the Comon Land, it standeth otherwise, for their
moity is to be deuided betweene the Counsell and Officers there, [36]
and for other publique vses, and betweene the Company here. ffor
the Counsell who attendé there, when the Gouernor at all times shall
please to call them, cannot neglect their busines w"out reward; soe
likewise here, the Company may not expect, that although their
Trer for the time past and pnte, as also the Deputies of late serue
meerely out of their zeale and loue to the Acéon, yet those that
shall sueceede will happily expect a yearely gratificacon, when the
Company shalbe enabled by their Rents to yeild it. And for the
Colledge, there is noe doubt but the benefitt ensuing will build it,
and raise a Revennue for the mayntenance. He also thought it fitt
to send 100 more to be Prentizes or Servants that the rest may
goe on more cheerefully, wherein he hoped the citty would deale
as worthily as heretofore. Lastly he wished that a fitt hundreth
might be sent of woemen, Maid€ young and vnecorrupt to make
wifes to the Inhabitnhnt€ and by that meanes to make the men there
more setled & lesse moueable who by defect thereof (as is credibly
reported) stay there but to gett something and then to returne for
England, w" will breed a dissoluGon, and so an ouerthrow of the
Plantaton. These woemen if they marry to the publiq, ffarmors, to
be transported at the charges of the Company; If otherwise, then
those that takes them to wife to pay the said Company their charges of

transportaéon, and it was neuer fitter time to send them then nowe.
Corne being here at home soe cheape and plentifull, and great prom -
ises there for the Haruest ensuing. Then to euery 100 men, he
aduised there might be sent 20 young Heifers w™ wilbe Threescore,
and they w their breed will soone store the Publique. He also
shewed, that the Inhabitants hauing had great ioy by the Charters of
Graunts and Liberties lately sent by S' Geo: Yeardley, desired now to
haue choise men sent them from the Lowe Countries to raise ffortifi-
cations, whose charge they will beare, wherein my Lo: Generall
Cesills assistance was perticulerly entreated. Then he spoke of the
way of transporting these persons, w’ by reason of the intollerable
charge the Company is at by sending ships, that that course should
be left of and rather send by those that trade to Newfoundland at Six
pound¢ a man, w‘" wilbe found to be great ease vuto the Company;
but for the Catle a shipp must be sent on purpose, vnlesse a bargayne
may be made for them at 10"— a peece, as he hath some hope giuen
him that it may be. The totall charge of all this, furnishing the men
reasonably w" all things requisite, will amount (as he hath computed
it) not aboue ffower thowsand pounde; And one thowsand more will
furnish them in best sort. Then how this mony shall come in, he
shewed how much the Company was bound to giue thankes to God for
all his blessings, who continually rayseth meanes for the supporting
of this worke, making menGon of one vnknowne Gentleman that hath
offred to send to him 500"— for the converting and educaéon of
Threescore Infidells Children, whensoeuer he shall require the same
& vndertake that worke. And also that vpon his tres he had receaued
advertizement from sundry parts and some of them very remote, that
if they goe on w" this busines they shall not want for money. Like-
wise Gabriell Barbor [37] hath promised of Lottary monies to bring
in before the end of March 35 hundreth poundé, w he intendé accord-
ing to the promise made vnto the Lord¢ shall goe to noe other end but
the advancement of the PlantaGon. And for the Three thowsand
pound¢, w*" was spoken of when he entred to be Ter he hath not as
yet receaued the whole, but as it cometh in, it shall all goe for the
payment of former debts and dueties, whereof he had discharged
aboue 2000" allready, promising that he will not leaue the Company

one penny in debt by any Act to be done by him. And forthe ratifi-
caéon hereof, he referred it to the qrter Co", onely now proposing it,
that in the interim it might be considered of by the Company.
Noxt he acquainted, that the Counsell sitting this morning at my
Lord of Southamptons, there were some moGons made for y® busines
at home, one was concerning Tc ‘acco in Generall, that the planting
of it here would be the destrucéon of the Plantation, and therefore
that the Company might be humble suito” for an inhibiéon thereof;
but this was conceaued might be a scandall for Virginia, as that it
could not subsist wout that weed, intending very shortly to sett in
hand with Iron-workes, & the Country affording diuers other good
comodities, as Silke, Silkegrasse, Corne, Vines, etc. And therefore
it was thought better by the Counsell, forasmuch as the ffarmors of
Impost had it on foote allready that they proceed, and the Company
as they see occasion to assist them. ffor the perticuler Tobacco of the
Adventurers remayning in the Custome howse, he was desired by the
Counsell to drawe a Ire in their names, and to be signed by them,
w" he promised forthw™ to performe, to be addressed vnto the Kings
Lerned Counsell, shewing the priuiledges of their Pattent, and the
Losse they haue sustayned by this extreame delay w™ earnest request
of present expedigon. And seeing that m’ Iacobb contrary to the
priuiledges of their said Pattent; the Letter of his Ma” priny Counsell
in their behalfe, and the Adventurers offer to leaue halfe w' him,
that they might obtaine the other balfe to sell away that it might not
all perish, had reiected all moGons and meanes of agreement, and in
contempt of their Lo’ Letter refused to deliuer it vpon those reason -
able condiGons sett downe by their Lyps, that therefore he thought it
very expedient (the Lord€ consent being first obtayned) that the
Company comence an Accon of damages against him, the losse they
haue receaued being estimated by many at—2500"—w*" moGon so suted
w" the desire of the Court (sauing that the Lorde consent was thought
vnnecessary) that for the rest they intreated it might be putt to the
question: w*" being done, and also propounding whither the suite
shall proceed at the Comon charge, being for the mayntennce of the
Pattent, and the Magazine to appoint Sollicitors, was ratified by
ty hon. ; itp

the Lo: Maior had beene sollicited to giue order for the keeping of
them in Bridewell, w*" was answered to be performed allready, and
the Court desired m’ Treasuror to giue his Ma” an answere by
m’ Secretary Caluert.
Mr JIohn Delbridge moéon for a Pattent to be graunted him and his.
Associats intending to transport—200—men was assented vnto and
referred to the Auditors vpon Monday morning to haue his Pattent
perfected.
Whereas m’ W™ Canings complaint the last Court was referred vnto
this present to be heard betwixt Captaine Bargraue & him, he being
now absent was by diuers now present censured to be a great disturber
of the peace of the Company, & molester of the Courts w™ matter of
ffaction: Therefore when the Counsell meetes, that he be warned to
attend them to receiue admoniéon and if that after he continue in his
wonted byas, that then he be disfranchized according to a standing
order in that behalfe.
And whereas formerly a seale for the Company called the Legall seale
was referred vnto a Comittee to consider # $in§ what manner it should
be, and nothing as yet done therein; It was agreed that M' Claren-
tious be intreated to giue the Auditors sometimes a meeting at S'
Kdwin Sandis, where they will deuise to take a Cote for Virginia and
agree vpon the Seale.

260 RECORDS OF THE VIRGINIA COMPANY
fforasmuch as noe deuision of the lointstock is yet made to the
Adventurers, according long since to promise, nor any acc® heth-
erto presented (though often called for) whereby they may vnder-
stand the state of the busines, and other Accounts intermixed
w" them be cleered; therefore vpon generall request of the Ad-
venturers now pnte, it was agreed that the Counsell be entreated to
take the busines into their handé@,-and to call the Officers of the
Magazine before them to giue vp their Acc’, as also to heare aswell
the obiecGons of the Adventurers, as the answeres of the Officers,
that soe right be done, and the differences Long depending may be
freindly decided and ended: W“ moGon was also extended to such
accompts of the former Magazine as remayne yet vneleared. [39]
And although the Company is allready exceedingly behoulding to my
Lord of Southampton for his many hono’® fauo™ & nobly counte-
nancing them in all their businesses, and especially such as is of great-
est importance; yet notw"standing the Co™ are most humble suitors
vnto his Ldp, that he would please also in these businesses of so great
importance, and w™ haue beene the onely cause of distracéon and dis-
cention in the Company, to vouchsafe his presence at that meeting of
the Counsell, that by his Lo’ and their authority, those differencs
might be concluded, the Com satisfied in their right, and all occa-
sion of continuing iealousies and displeasures be remoued: W°" moéon
being made by m'" Thier was by Generall erecéon of hand¢€ confirmed
noe one dissenting.
M’ Thier also moued, that Captaine Bargraue should be desired by
the Court, that at leastwise after the examinaéon of his witnesses
(vpon w* he resolutely insisted) he would then be content to referr
the Controuersy betweene him and some other of the Company, to be
heard in like sort and arbitrated by the Counsell, that so all cause of
scandall and discord amongst the Company might haue an end: Vnto
w” Captaine Bargraue gaue his consent, and the same was generally
well approued of by the Court.

come in, would be sufficient to doe this, and to leaue some remayning
in the Treasury to defray such charges as either by his Ma“ comaund
for the sending ouer such men as he shall write for, or otherwise may
accidentally happen. Wherevnto was answered, that these Proposi-

262 RECORDS OF THE VIRGINIA COMPANY
advantagious for the Plantaéon, And therefore not fitt they should be
roussumed from thence to a priuate Comittic, Hsteeming the Counsell
the chiefest Comittee could be chosen. Also mr. Ter to the generall
satisfacéon of the whole Court made this answere, that for those
nombers to be setled on the Comon, Gouernors and Colledge Land,
he would not leaue the Company indebted one penny: As for former
debts he had allready paid aboue 2000" toward¢ discharging of them,
and a 1000" he would pay when it canie in, w” was asmuch as was
left vnto him, doubting not but that the yearely comodities coming
out of Virginia, would henceforward defray all accidentall charges;
it hauing beene truly alleadged before, that the planting and peopling
of the Companies Land was the surest way to bring in Revennue. It
was alsoe answered by others, that all that was in Cashe was but to
be imployed to the advancem’ of the Plantaéon, and that there could
be noe better worke to further that then this, nor nothing more hurt-
full then to leaue vnperformed those designes & workes w™ themselues
are certaine and good, for things accidentall and vncertaine; So as
noe man further opposing, The former Obiecéon vanished. And it
was moued by my Lo: of Southampton, that the Court hauing now
heard the Proposiéons read, if they made scruple of any thing, that it
might be now debated at full against the Quarter Court. But noe
man either seconding the former, or raising any new obiecGéon, the
Proposiéons rested w™ generall approbaéon of the Court.
Touching the Legall seale spoken of in the last Court, the Auditors at
their Assembly haue therein taken some paynes, w™ they now pre-
sented to this Courte: And whereas they had spoken to one for the
cutting of it, there is one m* Hole who would appropriate that vnto
him selfe vnder pretence of hauing a Pattent for the engrauing all
seales, w™ hath the Kings Armes or any part thereof, w*" he now pre-
sented to the Court, and m‘ Ter pervsing the same, found, that it
was for the Kinges armes, but not for any part thereof, and therefore
appointed them to repaire to m* Xofer Brooke of Lincolnes Inne to
examine it, and to bring his opinion vnder his hand in writing, &
accordingly it should be determined.

Next for the order of the Magazine Acc? referred to the Counsell, My
Lord of Southampton was humbly desired to lend his presence for the
concluding of it: This and the former Magazine being the cause [41 ]
of all discentions that hath beene amongst the Company, who hath
promised his assistance. And 8" Iohn Wolstenholme for the better
concluding thereof hath also promised that he will giue order for the
meeting of some of the Adventurers, *ogether w'" m" Essington to
examine the State of the Magazine, & the Account€ against the
Counsell meete.
M’ Tyer also signified, touching the Standing orders that nothing is
done, in w* time discouereth not some imperfecGons, acquaynting
that some § stood in § need of some small explanacon, and that there
needed to be an addiéon of Two or three more, w™ although yet they
cannot be soe absolute as the others, wanting the Ceremonies due
vnto them, yet till that be performed they stand (if the Company soe
please) as orders of a Quarter Court, w" to that Court was referred.
M’ Tyer desired the allowance of this Court of one thing agreed of by
the Auditors and Comittees of the Colledge, w was that 1400"—od
mony in all being receaued of the Collecéon monyes by S* Tho: Smith,
of w*" vpon seuerall occasions, therewas vented by way of Loane for
the vse of the Company Hight hundreth poundé, the Remainder being
500" odd money was paid vnto mr. Treasuro’; Therfore that the said
800"—might be reimbursed out of the Comon Cash in to the Colledge
mony, w was ratified and allowed of by the Court.
Vpon a petigon exhibited by the wife of Abraham Persey, that in lieu
of his Long service done the Company, they would gratify him w"
giuing him some Land in Virginia: w*" sundry of the Co" acknowl-
edgin[g] his paynfull endeauo”, haue agreed for the present to giue
him 200 Acres (if the Quarter Court vpon Wedensday next shall allowe
thereot; And hereafter as they finde him discharge the busines reposed
vpon him, to reward him accordingly.

of the said Capt Argoll in Virginia his freedome & 400 w" of Tobacco,
w" since his coming home, he could not receiue from the Custome

in the begining of the Plantaton: Wherevpon he was appointed to
make knowne his deserts in writing, & accordingly, he should receaue

266 RECORDS OF THE VIRGINIA COMPANY
that if any heard themselues named, and had not taken their Oaths,
they were to repair to the Lo: Chauncello’ or the Lo: Chamberlaine
to be sworne.
Afterward the writing conteyning an addiéon & explanaéon of cer-
taine Lawes and orders for the Company presented in the Preparative
Court, was now againe read and by ger~rall consent referred to the
Comittee formerly chosen for the Lawes & orders of the Company.
The Courtes being read, m* Treasuror putt the Court in remembrance
of his former Proposiéons propounded in the Co™ 1ij° Die Nouembris
hauing before that propounded them to the Counsell, and lastly to [43]
the Preparatiue Court, and desired to haue the iudgment of this Great
and Generall Court concerning them: Where, vpon the request of
some noble§men§ pnte, he related them againe to the Co" in effect as
followeth ;
Mr. Thier therefore declared, that his care and duety running ioyntlie
for the advancem‘ of this noble Plantation, his desire carried him
chiefly to the restoring of the Publiq, now lately decayed, and the
reforming of some errors, w" had directed their charges and the labo™
of the Collony to a wrong and vnworthy course, and greatly to the
disgrace and hurt of the Plantacon: ffor whereas not much aboue
Three yeares agoe there were returned from Virginia T'welue severall
Comodities sold openly in Court to the great hono’ of the Acton and
encouragem' of the Adventurers: Since that time there hath beene
but litle returned worth the speaking of, saue Tobacco and Sassaphras,
which the people there wholy applying, had by this misgouernem!
reduced themselues into an extremity of being ready to starue (vnles
tho Magazine this last yeare had supplyed them w™ Corne and Cattle
from hence) to the stopping and great discouragem! of many hundrede
of people, who were prouiding to remoue themselues to plant in Vir-
ginia. The cause of this erro’ he would not insist vpon, as loth to
giue offence by glaunce of speech to any, but for remedy thereof
(besides often letters from the Counsell sent lately to the Gouernour

for restraint of that imoderate following of Tobacco and to cause the
people to apply themselues to other and better comodities) he had
also by the advice of his Ma‘ Counsell here, and according to one of
the new orders now propounded, caused to be drawne a new Covenant
to be incerlod in all Pattents of land hereafter to be graunted, that
the Pattentees should not apply themselues wholly or chiefly to
Tobacco, but to other Comodities specified in the said Couennt, An
example whereof they should see in th, Pattent lying before them to
be passed in this Court to m’ Iohn Delbridge and his Associats. Now
touching the Publique, he was first to present to their remembrance
how by the admirable industry of Two worthie knight¢ 8" Tho: Gates
and S' Tho: Dale, it was sett forward in a way to greate perfecéon,
whereof the former S* Tho: Gates had the hono’ to all posterity to be
the first named in his Ma‘ Pattent of graunt of Virginia, and was the
first who by his wisedome, valo' & industry, accompanied w" exceed -
ing paines and patience in the middest of so many difficulties laid a
foundaéon of that prosperous estate of the Collonie, which afterward
in the vertue of those beginings did proceed. The latter, S‘ Tho:
Dale building vpon those foundaéons w" great & constant seuerity,
reclaymed almost miraculously those idle and disordered people and
reduced them to labour and an honest fashion of life, and proceeding
w" great zeale to the good of this Company sett vp the Comion
Garden to yield them a standing revennue, placed servants vpon
it, as also vpon other Publiq, workes for the Companies vse, Estab-
lished an Annuall rent of Corne from the ffarmers, Of tribute
Corne from the Barbarians, together wa great stock of Kine,
Goates, and other Cattle, being the good@ of the Companie for the
service of the Publiq, w™ hath since beene the occasion of drawing
so many perticuler Plantatéons to seate in Virginia vpon hope [44]
and promise of plenty of Corne and Catle to be lent them from the
Publiqg, for their ease and benefitt vpon their first ariuall. But since
their times all these publiq, provisions hauing beene vtterly Laid
wast by such meanes as hereafter in due time shall appeare. It hath
beene his principall care in those places wherein it pleased the Com-
pany to comaund his service to sett vp the publiq againe, in as great
or greater hight then heretofore it had: The maintayning of the

268 RECORDS OF THE VIRGINIA COMPANY
publig, in all estates being of noe lesse importance, euen for the benefitt
of the Priuate, then the roote and body of a Tree are to the perticuler
branches: And therefore to present vnto them all in one view both
what had beene allready done, and what yet remayned to be perfected,
he recalled to their remembrance, how by their Comission sent by Sir
George Yeardley they had appointed 3000 Acres of Land to be sett
out for the Gouernor so to ease the Company henceforward of all
charge in mayntayning him: 1200( Acres of Land to be the Comon
Land of the Companie; viz" three thowsand in each of the ffower old
Burroughes—10000—acres of Land for the vniuersity to be planted at
Henrico; of which—1000 for the Colledge for the conuersion of Infi-
dells: The next care was for the placing Tenants vpon these Lande:
In January last there went w" S' Geo. Yeardley 50 Tenante¢ for the
Gouerno” Land transported at the Companies and furnished at his
charge, and six he found remayning of Capt Argolls guarde:: In the
March afterward there were sent §twenty§ to the Companies Land by
M' Lawne, whereof he hath deliuered yet but 15, for want of per-
formance to him of loane of Corne and Cattle: ffower more were sent
by the Triall, and Three 8‘ Geo: Yeardley found in the Country. In
the begining of August last in the Bona Noua were sent 100 persons for
publiq, service, chosen w™ great care, and extraordinarily furnished,
whereof 50 for the Companies Land, and 50 for the Colledge Land, So
that making deducGon of some fewe that are dead, there were he hoped
at this day 174 persons, placed as Tenants vpon the Publique.
Therefore his first Proposition was, that the Company would be
pleased, that these Tenants for the Publiq, might be encreased this
next Spring vp to the nomber of 300, viz‘ one hundreth for the
Gouernors Land, 100 for the Companies and 100 for the Colledge
Land; w™ (if he be truly informed by those whoe best should knowe
it) being rightly imployed will not yeild lesse in value then Three
thowsand pound yearely revenue for these publiq, vses. And because
care both hath beene, and shalbe taken that diuers stayed persons and
of good condiéons haue beene and shalbe sent amongst them, His
second Proposiéon was, that for their ease and comodiousnes, there
might be 100 young persons sent to be their Apprentices, in the charge
whereof he hoped this Hono” Citty, would pertake w" the Company

NOVEMBER, 1619 269
as they formerly had done: And because he vnderstood that the peo-
ple thither transported, though seated there in their persons for some
fewe yeares, are not setled in their mindes to make it their place of
rest [45] and continuance, but hauing gotten some wealth there, to
returne againe into Kngland: ffor the remedying of that mischiefe, and
establishing of a perpetuitie to the Plantation, he aduised and made it
his Third Proposiéon, to send them ouer One hundreth young Maides
to become wifes; that wifes, childrer and familie might make them
lesse moueable and settle them, together with their Posteritie in that
Soile.
His next Proposiéon was, for the manno' of transporting these per-
sons thus to make vp ffiue hundreth for the Publiq, Land, wherein
he advised, that they should not as heretofore hire Shipping for this
purpose, whereof euery Shipp at his returne in bare fraught and
wages emptied the Cashe of 800 and sometimes 1000", but that they
should as they had allreadie done this present yeare take the opportun -
itie of the Ships trading to Newfoundland, and so to transport them at
six poundes a person w"out after reckonings.
A ffifte Proposiéon for the sending of 20 Heifers vpon eu9y 100 of
these Tenants, Threescore in the whole, w™ he hoped might be done
taking the opportunity of Shipping in the Westerne parts at Ten
poundé a head 600" in the whole.
Lastly touching the charges he related perticulerly as formerly he had
done, diuers great incouragements of supply to come in: he estimated
the whole charge at ffoure thousand poundé to be done sparingly &
bountifully at 5000": He promised not to leaue the Company one
penny in debt for any thing in his yeare to be performed: And more-
ouer that he would discharge 3000" of former debts and reckonings
according to the Stock left in the Lottaries at his coming to this place:
This done he hoped the Publiq, would agayne be well restored, A
foundaéon Laid for a future great state, The Adventurers and Planters
well comforted and encouraged, All matter of scandall and reproach
remoued, and so he would comend the AcéGon to the blessing of God.
These Proposiéons after some pause, receauing noe opposicon were
putt to the question & receaued the generall approbaéon of the
Court.

RECORDS OF THE VIRGINIA COMPANY
‘*pounds p Centi: due for Custome vppon all such goods and Marchandizes
‘fas shalbe brought or Imported into this Realme of England or any other his
‘Ma: Dominions accordinge to the Ancient Trade of Marchants.”
And the like graunt hath beene made by his Ma; to y° Comp* of y°® Somer
Hands by his gracious Tres Pattents bearinge date the 29" of Ivne in the 13"
yeare of his Raigne of KMngland Cr’ save that the freedome from Custome and
Subsydie graunted to them is not yett expired. Which Comp* of the Somer
lands are all members of the Virginia Company and for the mutuall strength
of both parties are soe to continue.
All w* notwithstandinge the ffarmo™ of his Ma: Customs by a generall rate
made of Tobacco att x* the pound in regard the Spanish Tobacco is worth much
more though the Virginia Tobacco give not halfe so much, demaund of yo"
Supplyants vj‘ the pound for their Virginia Tobacco w™ they humbly desire
may be rated att a iust valew by itt selfe (w they shall willingly pay) and not
raysed to the double by cooplinge itt w the Spanish w*" is sould ordinaryly
att 18° the pound and some times att more.
They Complaine allso to your LL": of m* Iacobb ffarmo’ of y* Impost of
Tobacco who by color of a much latter Graunt from his Ma demaundeth of
them an other vj* the pound vppon their Tobacco contrary to his Ma® most
gracious Graunt, and w‘" allso itt is not possible that poore Comodity can
beare.
They humbly therfore offer to yo" UL?*: Consideraton wheras for the support
and increase of that Plantagon to draw on the Collony more cheerfully to apply
their labour, they have erected here a Society of pticuler Adventure™ for
Traflique wth them of Virginia in a loynt Stocke for dyvers years commonly
called the Magazine, and have contracted with y°’ people ther, as for other
Comodities so pticularly to give them iij*a pound for 'Tobacco, by vertue of
w“" Contracts a great multitud of people have lately beene drawne to remove
thither, and not soe fewe as one Thowsand Personns are providinge to goe
and Plant there in the Springe approching, that if to that 11j° be added this
12° demaunded by the ffarmo" together w" other charges of ffraight C* itt will
exceed the vttermost vallew w" att this day the Tobacco can be sould for, and
consequentlic must needs dissolve this Tratiique established.
And they further Complaine to yo" DL": of m" Iacobb that wheras this Com-
pany for the vphoulding of the said Traflique sett out in September was Twelue
moneth a Ship to Virginia for the bringinge home of the Comodities as itt
were the Harvest of that yeare, wherby the people there are to be maynteyned
w" clothinge and necessary Implements. [56]

The Company here quickned w™ hope of proffite by traflique and by this
mutuall negotia¢on his Ma‘ Customs advanced: And accordingly in June last
their Ship returned and brought home Twenty thousand pound weight of
Tobacco for w‘" besides the Marchandize bartered w™ them there they are to
dischargo here aboue Eight hundred pounds of Bills of M@xchange, And vppon
roturne of their Ship they brought their goods into the Custome house as they
were required that they might be weighed and the Custome answered for the
same w*" they were most willinge and redy to discharge, M* Iacobb of his
owne authority interupted the weyinge of their Tobacco and forbad farther
proceeding vnless that impost of vj‘ a pound were allso paid vnto him.
Whervppon they flvinge to yo" Lo”: for releife obteyned yo" hono”™®: Letter to
m’ Jacobb to deliver their goods they entringe into bond to pay him whatso-
ever should appear to be his due, by yo" If?* iudgment€ vppon certificate from
his Ma‘*: leirned Councell, and w‘"in one moneth after itt should be determyned,
w" order yo" Supplyant¢ did offer him to pforme.
But m’ Iacobb refusinge to pforme yo’ ft*: order and exactinge of them another
bond, vizd to pay him his demaund att a certaine day vnless they pcure in the
meane time a discharge from yor Il?*: w™ they thought vnfitt to vndertake
beinge not in their power to effect hath ever since now for the space of fower
monneths and vpward Contrary to his Ma“ Tres Pattents and yo" Lo”* honor-
able Tres (an example vnheard of) forceably deteyninge their goods to their
damage att least of—2500" partly by the impayringe therof in worth through
dryinge and other corrupéon and partly by the Sale of price vppon the Store
of English Tobacco w™ hath since beene made
They further Complaine of m* Iacobb that wheras the Somer Iland€ are yett
free for two years and an halfe vnexpired of very Custome and Subsedie, m*
Tacobb who standinge by his Officers at Plymouth hath caused 12% the pound to
be exacted for their Tobacco, and bond to be entred for the payment therof
on the Sixth of this monneth vnless yo" lo’*: shalbe pleased in the meane time
to discharge y° same.
In consideraGon of w" premises these PetiGoners most humbly beseech your

Peirce and his Associates might have the trayninge and bringinge vpp
of some of those Children butt the said Comittee for divers reasons
thinks itt inconvenyent, first because they intend not to goe this 2 or
:3: monneths and then after there arryvall* wilbe longe in settlinge
themselves, as allso that the Indians are not acquainted w" them, and
so they may stay 4 or 5 years before they have account that any good
is donne.
And for to putt itt into the hands of pryvate men to bringe them vpp
att x" a Childe as was by some proposed they hould itt not soe fitt by
reason of the causualty vnto w*" itt is subiect.
Butt forasmuch as divers hundreds and pticularr Plantaéons are all-
redie there settled and the Indians well acquainted w" them, as
namely, Smith Hundred, Martine Hundred, Bartlett¢ Hundred & the
like that therfore they receave and take charge of them by w™ course
they shalbe sure to be well nurtured and have their due so long as these
PlantaGons shall hould, and for such of the Children as they find
Capable of Learninge shall be putt in the Colledge and brought vpp
to be schollers, and such as are not shall be putt to trades, and be
brought vp in the feare of God & Christian religion, And beinge
demaunded how and by what lawfull means they would procure them
and after keep them that they runn not to theire parents or frends,
and their said Parrents or frends steale them not away w™ naturall
affec¢on may inforce in the one and the other, itt was answered and
well allowed that a treaty and an agreement be made w"™ the Kinge
of that Country concerninge them w*" if itt soe fall out att any time as
is exprest they may by his Commaund be returned. [80] Whervppon
S' Thomas Roe promised that Bartley Hundred should take two or
three for w theire well bringinge vpp hee and m' Smith pmised to
be respondents to the Company, and because every Hundred may the
better consider hereof they were lycensed till Sunday in the after-
noone, att w" time they sitt att m* Treasurors, to bringe in their
answere how manny each will have and bringe those that wilbe respond -
ent for them, & those that others will not take, M’ Treasuror in the
behalfe of Smith¢e hundred hath promised to take into their charge.

“i Tho: Wroth onely tooke excepéon to these words (not one dissentinge)
In somuch as hee now professed himselfe to be of a contrary opynion,
and y' att that timo hee held vpp his hand against yt, And that the
reason therof was for that Capt Argoll alleadginge that hee had
§' Tho Wroths al- answered Captaine Brewster in Writinge, that writinge of Cap' Argollé
ea catsite was nott read att the hearinge of the cause; Against w Allegaéons
of S' Thomas Wroths the wholl Courte did generally oppose averringe
that hee did not ¥phold ||vp|| his hand against the sentence seeinge if
hee had so done itt must have been seen by some of the Courte w®
itt was not, no not [one] of them w™ on purpose did observe him And
that when m‘ Ther did openly pronounce that the wholl Court was
agreeinge no one dissentinge itt had been then fitt time for him to
have declared his dissentinge w™ hee did not.
And for his allegaéon touchinge Cap‘ Argoll¢€ writinge itt was answered
that the writings exhibited in this Cause by Cap‘ Brewster and ||by||
Captaine Argoll were not exhibited to the Courte att all butt long
since to the Counsell and by order of the Counsell were sent to Vir-

the cause, and the former pceedings of the Martiall¢ Courte might
have been read if itt had beene desyred, butt because the tryall itt
sellfe by a Martiall€ Courte, was disaproved their manner of pceed-
ings was not regarded: And if the same had been read itt would have
cleerly appeared that they pceeded against Cap‘ Brewster not by ver-
tue of the Laws of England butt vppon the 32 Article of y® Martiall

Officer was made death: and the Disobedience of Cap‘ Brewster was
in Commaundinge the Lo: Lawarres men then vnder his charge from

for w™ they were sent by the said Lo: Lawarre and his ptiners, Butt
that the hearinge of this cause betwene Cap’ Brewster and Captaine

deputed Captaine Nuse agreeinge to send 20 men w™ him presentlie
for his owne benefitt, and 20 more herafter as they have formerly
deputed m* Thorpe w™ allowance of tenn men to gouerne the Colledge

ance of itt, w” although theris some difficulties to send att this time
of the yeare by reason of victualling the Ship, w™ yett w” good care
and providence may be ouercom, and the passage more daungerous
in respect of heate then att other times, yett for the people to come
ther in the beginninge of winte’ itt is verie advantagious for them to
peeed in their laboures and more wholsome for them then to Land att
other times of the Year, desyringe those that shall succeed him to
send no base men as allso if they thought well of this, that then no
money be issued till this be pformed, And that 2000" might be paid

Tland Courte by reason of some other buisines could not attend to
morrow in the afternoone. In their roomes the Court hath now
made choyee of S' Nicholas Tufton, 8’ Walter Harle, and S* Phillip
Cary who promised to give their Assistance. [127]
m‘ Thier allso acquainted them that forasmuch as a Charter is in A Charter for Es-
pparing for m’ Thorpe, m’ Nuse, and m’ Porey, w™ is to be con- ear jag
firmed in the next Courte if itt be approved, as allso the Charter last
drawne w™ should have beene read in the last Quarter Courte in the
afternoone allso w*" was not and that theris a Pattent for Iohn John Zouch Pat-
Zouch esqr to be then ratefied, & likewise that since the Confirmation ‘"*
of the Pattent for Southampton Hundred, some are gone outt and South: Hundred
seme |lothers|| to be incerted in their places for w” hee would sur- sci
render itt and take a new one, that therfore the Courte vppon Wed-
nesday might hold as formerly both forenoone and afternoone w™
the Court well approved and vppon request agreed that hence foreward
a Duplicate of such Pattents as are graunted here should be sent to Duplicate Pat-
Virginia w" m’ Thier said should all be sealed in open Courte as all “"*
other things yett had been during his time.
Next hee acquainted them of 2 things w® hee pfessed to take no
delight in butt for the Companies sake hee was content to peure to
himselfe a great deale of ill will and malice because hee would not see
them abused.
The first conteyneth a pceedinge of the Counsell vppon a Petiéon ies oo
exhibited vuto them by Cap‘ Argoll w™ pceedinge (as is informed) ape Cap! ae eoiie
was drawne by S‘ Nathaniell Rich, and a Coppie therof given to Cap- Peti¢ondrawne by
taine Argoll by the Secretary, vnto w™ the said Captaine hath gotten * N#t Rich.
divers of y*° Counsell€ hands, wherin theris one poynt that the said
Captaine Argoll may himselfe make choyce of any two of the Councell
to examine his wittnesses w™ is contrary to the desire of him in the
next Courte as by the order therof may appeare, and besides w” itt
was not lawfull to be graunted to him to choose whome hee list, for
soe hee might choose such as professed themselvs to be his ptners,
w™ were a choyce not convenyent.

ward into three parts accordinge to the seuerall quallyties of the psonns
indebted; The ffirste Noblemen, The second Knight€and Gentlemen,
The third Marchants and other Cittizens—And that the Solicitinge

394 RECORDS OF THE VIRGINIA COMPANY
The last matter butt of great difficultie and cheife importance is the
establishinge of good gouerment in the Collony for Religion, Ius-
tice and Strength together w™ their effect¢, Peace, Plenty and
Prosperitie.
This parte requireth the serious consultaéon of the Counsell & the
great labour of learned and iuditious Comittees that being reduced
into a bodie of Lawes and Magestracie itt may be first plsented to his
Ma“: vewe and beinge there approved may receave confirmacon
allso of a Quarter Courte, and lastly the assent and ratificaéon of the
Collony.
Some small dyrecéons herin I wilbe bould to offer, I wish that a Com-
ittee be made of twelue select psonns for the Compylinge into a bodie
the Politique Lawes and Magistracie of England—necessarie or fitt for
that Plantaéon w™ pt to be comitted to fower learned gentlemen pro-
fessors of the Lawe. [143]
The Second to be a like collecéon of Orders and constituGons allredie
in beinge w™ are prop and peculier to this Collony. Wherin first to
gather those that are tobe found in his Maties teres Pattent€ and
Instrucéons. Secondlie those that are conteyned aswell in the Booke
of the orders for the Company as allso in the seuerall Charters, Com-
issions, and Instrucéons, sent to Virginia. Lastly such orders as
themselvs there have made in their generall Assemblies All w beinge
likewise desgested into order and conferred and interlaced w" the
laws of this Realme itt will be #edie easie to see in a veiwe of the
wholl Body what Lymme or Synewe is redundant or defective as well
for Lawes as Magestracie wherof a reformaéon or a supply to be made
agreeable to y° rest This parte is to be commended to fower other such
as ure skillfull in all the affayres aswell of the Company here as of
the Collony in Virginia, And thus much for matter of the Generall
Goverm',.

to an agreem’‘, so that for bringinge the said Comoditie in they should

ordering of Silk-of a ffrench book of the same Subiect comended vnto him for an

please to take the paines to translate itt into English, and that a good
number of them might be printed to be sent ouer to Virginia and ther
dispersed amongst the Planters soe as everie houshold might have

further intimaéon of a Charter intended to be passed att the next
Quart’ Court to that effect: w” proposiéons the Court did generally
agree vnto and ordered for performance of the same accordingly.
S' Edwin Sandys moved, that whereas the bringing over of Sassaphras 8" Edwin Sandys
in so great aboundance, had brought the price thereof to so lowe a eee ai
rate, as it was now worth little; ffor remeady whereof [ ( ] if the Court phras
so thought fitt) they would make an offer to the Company in Virginia
to compound w™ them for the same: w™ being brought over in a lesse
quantity and all into one warehouse might be araysed to a better value,
whereof the benifitt should be duely answeared to them againe [in]
ordinance Powder Shott, and other such munition, for their better
[179] Strength and safety: And that they would signifie so much in y®
Counsells letter to the Gouernor w™ motion was well approved of,
and therevpon it was ordered that it might be effected accordingly.
It was likewise moved that some might be appointed to drawe the S Edwin Sandys
said Counsellé letter vnto the Gouerno’ w® was to goe w™ the Shippe sesh eralt a
now bound for Virginia: wherey pon the Courte entreated S* Edwin
Sandys to take some paines therein as he had often formerly donne
in the like kinde at w™ request he was pleased to vndertake the dis-
patch thereof.
Captaine Roger Smith being desirous to goe this present voyage to Capt Roger Smith
Virginia, moved that he might have the charge of some of those 2 have 205, & y
. omaund of 50
people that were now sent to §be§ the Companies Tenant. And | orsons vnder him
further that the Company would please to bestowe vpon him some
meanes to make him the better fitt for the said voyadge: ffor asmuch
therefore as the said Captaine Smith was recomended to be a gentle-
man very sufficient for that imployment, and in regard of his good
exporionce already (havinge been heretofore in Virginia about some
three yeares) might thereby doe the Company great service: The
Court was pleased for his better encouragement to giue him 30":
freely to furnishe him w'" necessaries and ordered that he should
have the comand of 50 persons nowe transported to be Tenant¢ vpon
the Companies land.

Capt Smith€ mo- The said Captaine Smith further moved in the behallf of a younge
Bee Scholler desirous to goe w" him this present voyadge that he might
togoe to Virg: be admitted preacher to the people now sent: The Courte herevpon
agreed to give him a text to preach vpon about a fortnight hence in
the handling whereof if they found him a sufficient Scholler, he
should be entertayned accordingly.

the Comittees, | Virginia, and there imployed by S‘ Thomas Dale (the Gouerno’) in
discovering the said Countrye and severall Rivers therein: did nowe
petigon that he might retourne to the Colony and proceed in a further
discouering of Comodious places for habitaéon w'in the Land The
Court herevpon ordered that he should be treated w* by the Com-
ittees both for the manner of his discovery as also to make it to
appeare what the Charge thereof wilbe vnto the Company.’ [180]
Capt: Somer€ re- A motion beinge made on the behaife of Captaine Somers for con-
eo firminge vnto him such lands as was due vnto his vnele 8S‘ George
Sumers for his adventure w™ appeared by Accounté to be 470": and
whereas further also, there was demaunded a proporéon of land for
the personall adventure of the said George Sumers and in requitall of
his other good service: To the first request the Court made answeare
that it could not be denied him: but for the second it was not in the
power of any other but a Quarter Court, to give any proporéon of
land, vpon merite.
M’ Deputie signified that my lord of Southampton (being to goe out
F, ae of Towne and like to be a long time absent) desired that St Edwin
forreceipteofmon- Sandys might be authorized by order of Courte to giue his hand for

not sufficiently explained and having also taken exception against
some other parte thereof: at length ordered that for the better
explayninge of their true meaninge and intent thereby, these Causions
and lymitaéons following should be inserted therein: recomendinge
the Care hereof to see it done to those former Comittees appointed

ward respited. ; oe talies s : ; :
allowance for his paines extraordinary in the Companies service. It
was thought fitt to respitt his reward, vntill they had further pceeded
in S' Thomas Smiths Accounts, whereby his desert€ that way would
the better appeare,
My Lo: desired to After these businesses were thus ordered: and the Court nowe full,
Bie ig my Lord of Southampton moved that if the Company so pleased they
would now goe to the elecéon of their newe Gouerno' of Virginia who
was to succeed S* George Yeardly after the expiration of his said
Comission (w™ is to determine in Nouemb: next, S* George Yeardley
having then allso adesire to release and disburden himsellf of the said
place of Gouernm'’:) The Court therfore proceeded having agreed to
a present eleccon my Lo: prayed the Company that if according to his
former admonition they had bethought themselues of any person of
quality fitting for so eminent a place that would be willing to vnder-
take the due managing thereof that they would now please to nomi-
nate the man, who might be put to the ballating box to geather w™
S’ ffrancis Wyate who was formerly proposed and recomended vnto
them.’
S' frauncis Wyate But no other person being so much as named and for that this gentle-
chosen Gouernor ;
man S' ffrancis Wyate was both recomended and so well knowne, to
be every way sufficient to take this charge vpon him, he was in this
great and generall Quarter Courte w* the whole consent and appro-
baéon of the same, (save two only? [186] whose balls were found in
the negatiav box) chosen to be the successiue Gouerno’: of Virginia
a ae after S' George Yeardley: w’ place S' ffrancis Wyate having w"
thanks C*. much thankfullnes accepted of, and with a free acknowledgment of
his affeecon and resoluéon constantly bent to doe the Company the
best service he could in that place: It was likewise moued that for
F, my. whe his better encouragement herein the Court would be pleased to
sell, bestowe another favo’ vpon him by admitting him one of his Ma":
Counsell here for Virginia w® moéon was thought very reasonable

to acquainte them w' some alteraGons he had made therein, differ-
ing from the former Patent@, especially in two point€ namely in the
head, and in the body thereof. ffirst in the head, That whereas in
the former Patente@ their cheife officers were called by the name of
Treasuror he had in this given him a more eminent title, by styling
him their Gouerno’: because the name Treasuror seemed to imploy
an inferio’ officer and one that was to be an Accountant.
And because the Northerne Colony-Adventurors, had to their Terri-
tories given the name of New-England, he thought fitt that theirs did
still retaine the ould name of Virginia. for by this meanes all Virginia
should be theirs, for the body of this Patent, as namely in their new
Incorporaéon he said, he had likewise differed from the former in two
pointe: first in the materiall parte thereof, by abrideging the same,
and restrayning it onely to such Adventurors and Planters as have
at least one share of Land of 100 acres in Virginia C’. In the formall
parte thereof, as well to avoide the infinity of names by reason of the
multitude of Adventurors (encreasing still more and more,) as for that
many were already named in a former Patent he therfore thought good
in this to name only the Lord¢ of the higher howse of Parhament, and
add therevnto these words comprehending in effect all the rest: viz:
togeather w™ all other [188] Adventurors and Planters in Virginia
C™. some other necessary alteratéons and addiéons, he said he had
made in some other parte of the said Patent, win the reading he
would notifie vnto them desiringe their attentaéen attencons to the
reading thereof, and to giue their best advise about the same.
a ve con- Before the Patent was read through, because the Afternoone was farr
- spent it was vpon a motion agreed and ordered that the Court should
continue till all buissinesses were ended.

coulo’ thereof: of their iniurious proceedings against both the Com-
panies in that they have not onely stinted them, to too scant a ppor-
éon but have also restrayned them from sellinge their Tobacco lately
brought from the Somer Hands w'out their Seale & allowance first
had for w" they were to pay for garblingo the same after the rate of
fower pence p “.
The Court therfore generally agreed to pferr a petiéon to the lower A petigon to be
howse of Parliament in the name of the Company of Virginia being ene ae
also members of the Somer lands. And therein to complaine of the
former greivances tendinge to the vtter destructéon and overthrowe of
both the said Plantatons, whereof they doubted not but they should
finde the like redresse as of many other monopolies of like nature
which the lower house had called into question and by his Ma":
gracous pmission intended vtterly to extinguish. [189]
It was therfore ordered that a Comittee should be appointed for draw- A Comittee for
ing the said petiéon and for this purpose nominated S* ffrancis Wyate sage oo
m’ George Sandys and m‘ Deputy fferrar who are desired to take some
paines therein and to make it in substance agreeable to that w™ S'
Edwyn Sandys had deliuered vnto them.
The Patent being reade and put to the question to knowe whither The Patent ap-
they would have it so to passe or desired any thinge to be added there- P°"*'
vnto, it was generally well approved of, and thought to be drawne
fully and exactly, for w™ the Company gave vnto S' Edwyn Sandys
many deserved thanke for his great paines taken therein.
Herevpon m’ Wrote tooke occasion to pray the Court, to take into ™ Wrotes moéon
consideraéon such suit@ as now depend betweene the Company and Core ™'s Such
; Pp : pany ¢ suites as depend
any person, being heretofore comenced in the name of the Treasuror between the Com-
and company (w*" by this newe Patent was hereafter to be called the ic, aad
Gouernor and Company) were not so concluded, as they must of
necessity be inforced to begin their suit€ anewe: wherevnto answeare
was made that this change of Title could be no preiudice at all to any
such suites considering the former Patent¢€ should not be surrendred
but remaine still in force.

S' Edwyn Sandys being desired to make reporte what had ben done
conc'ning the newe Patent, signified vnto the Company, that whereas
the Lo: Viscdnt Doncaster had form%ly plsented a letter from the
Counsell to the kinge, wherein among other things they did humbly
entreate his Ma": most graéous favour, to renewe [191] their Patent,
and that the same might be allso confirmed by Acte of Parliament,
the better to strengthen the Plantation in generall by engaginge of
the whole State in the interest and support of the Action: It pleased
his Ma‘®: to signifye his graceous pleasure by my Lord of Doncaster
to m' Attorney generall for drawinge vp the same: Tio w” end he
said, that he and m" Herbert and m' Deputy had attended m‘ Atturney
about the same, presenting him the drafte w%® had formerly been
read here in Courte: and having acquainted him, w' the order he
had vsed throughout the said booke by reducing it into three head@
viz’. the first contayning such ymunities as had been graunted in their
former Patent¢, the second some addiéons as they had taken out of
the Somer Dlands Patent, the third such newe clauses as tyme &
experience had taught, to be necessary for them: wherevnto he added
likewise a fourth w“ was the amplifyinge and enlarging some neces-
sarie point¢ as were in generall word¢€imployed in their former Graunte.
In reading whereof m‘ Attorney well obserued that their newe Incor-
poration differing in name from the old (the Tyrer beinge in this
called by the name of Gouerno*:) was not warrantable in lawe in that
manner as they had drawne it, w''out surrender of the form? Pat-
ent¢, for that it did thereby imploy two distinct Corporaéons: But
this point m’ Atturney vndertooke to amend by altering the forme,
and framing it another way: But as for such new clauses & addiéons
w*" they had made, m’ Attorney desired he might have a speciall
warrant from his Ma’: to that effect: To w" purpose S' Edwyn
Sandys said there was nowe a petigon drawne to be exhibited to his
Ma’: for procuring a reference to such of his Highnes most hono?”:

his request for a
Patent.
his request for y°
place of Marshall
in Virginia
446 RECORDS OF THE VIRGINIA COMPANY
priuy Counsell as it should please his Ma"*: to assigne, to take con-
sideracon of those newe clauses w*" they desired to be inserted in
their Patent w™ petiton my Lo: of Doncaster out of a noble desire to
farther all occasions tendinge to the good of the Plantacon was pleased
to vndertake to present vnto his Ma"*: and to solicite for answeare
touching their request. [192]
S' Edwyn Sandys moved that in regard m‘ Edward Bennett a Cittizen
had so well deserved of this Company by a treatise w he made
touching the inconvenience that the importacéon of Tobacco out of
Spaine had brought into this land: and by his often attendance vpon
the Comittees of the lower howse of Comons about the same, (who
were well inclyned to afford their best assistance for prohibiting the
bringing in of Spanish Tobacco) that therfore he might haue the favo'
to be admitted a free member of the Company w™ moéon was thought
very reasonable and being put to the question was generally assented
vnto and confirmed by erecéon of handé.
Whereas Captaine William Newce out of a generous disposiéon and
desire to advance the generall Plantacon in Virginia (being induced
herevnto by reason of a good successe he had in Ireland vpon the like
worthy Action) hath freely offered vnto the Company to transport at
his owne cost€ and charges 1000 persons into Virginia betwixt this
and midsomer 1625: to be there planted and imployed vpon a pertic-
ular Plantaéon: and intendeth to goe over himsellfe in person, the
better to direct and gouerne his owne people over whome he prayes,
he may be appointed their Generall and to that end desireth a Patent
w'" that proporéon of land, and w" such large and ample priviledges
besides, as are vsually graunted to others in that ||the like|| kind.
And further aswell in consideraéon of the Chargeableness, of the
enterprise he vndertakes, as also for his better encouragem’ there -
vnto, he desireth the Company would |[please|| graunt him the place of
Marshall in Virginia, which office he affecteth the [193] rather,
because he hath ever been exercised in Military affaires and Armes, (as
may appeare by his many worthy services performed in Ireland, well
knowne to diuers hono’’: persons of this kingdome, who have testified
the same sufficiently vpon their owne knowledge to his exceedinge

men to be placed as Tenant€ vpon the land¢ to be alotted vnto the
said office, w™ he vndertakes to transporte and furnish w™ apparell
and necessary implement¢ for 8": the pson charge vnto the Company
(whereof the Moytie he desires present payment) w*" persons beinge
there arryved he will maintaine and vphould at his owne charge from
tyme to tyme duringe his continuance in the said office: The Court
havinge therefore duely considered of his proposiGons (concerning
w" the Counsell had also treated w'" him formerly) were pleased to
giue order that a Patent should be drawne for him, as ample as any A Patent graunted
other, w all manner of priuiledges, saving the Tytle of Generall, ™™
_w*"-they could not graunt him, because it was a tytle properly belong-
ing to the Gouerno’ only.
And forasmuch as Captaine Newce hath given so large a testimony The place of Mar-
of his experience and skill in Marshall discipline wherein he hath an ees
bene exercised and imployed a long tyme, vpon many seruices in
Treland, as allso in matters of fortifica¢on and other warlike experi-
menté no whitt inferio’ to any (as hath been also testified) and for
that he hath also promised to imploy his best endeavo™ and service,
to the good of that Plantaéon (w is like to proue a matter of great
consequence vnto it) in consideraton whereof although there be no
present necessity or vse of such an officer in Virginia (in reguard of the
perpetuall league lately made betweene the Gouernor there and the
Indyan Kinge) yet to gratifie his worthy vndertakinge [194] the
Company are pleased to grant him the said place of Marshall, w™ 50: 50: men to be al-
men to be his Tenant€. And if the State of their Cash (w™ the by ecu
Adventurors are now desired to examine,) will pmitt, they will pay
him in hand one Moytie of the money that he desires, and the other
Moytie vpon Certificate from the Gouerno’ of his arrivall in Virginia:
As for other condiéons of the Contract to be made betweene the Com- A Cofiittee ap-
pany and him: It is agreed and ordered that y° generall Comittees Ke ae
assisted w' some of the Counsell hereafter named, shall further treate
and conclude w' him about y*® same, touchinge all perticularities

those of the Counsell, formerly named, might consider, both what
charges and what Company, and other preparacons shall be fitt and
necessary to be provided for a man of his quality and place, whereby
S' ffrauncis Wyate may the better vnderstand howe to accomodate
himsellf against his goinge: w™ moéon was thought very important
and therfore the Court ordered it, to be referred to the Comittees

450 RECORDS OF THE VIRGINIA COMPANY
in that Country, to the great scandall of the gouerment there, and noe
lesse discouragement of the Adventurors here, that for reformation
An officer to be hereof such an [19%] officer may be chosen, to be sent thither, who
ie meen "Y might in the qualitie of a Treasurer not onely to take into his pticuler
charge the Rent€ and duties of what kind soever, belonging to the
Company here (there being at this instant aboue 1000": due vnto them)
but also take into his speciall reguard and care, (as principally recom-
ended to his peculiar Charge onely and for w™ a good Acéount wilbe
expected) to see those direccons and comaundement¢€ w® he shall
receaue from hence, duely and faithfully executed from time to time
or otherwise to render a sufficient reason to the Contrary whereby the
Company hereafter may be better informed and satisfied in the pro-
ceed of their buissines and affaires in Virginia: w™" moéon the Court
greatly applauding, as that w™ carried w" it the greatest consequence,
and being desirous that such an important officer, might be forthw™
thought vpon:
It pleased my Lo: of Southampton to propose a gentleman, well
knowne vnto them all, as a man very fitt to take that charge vpon
m* George Sandys him namely m‘ George Sandys who indeed was generally so well
ee for Treas: yenuted of, for his approued fidelity sufficiency and integrity: as they
conceaved a fitter man could not be chosen for that place and there-
vpon agreed to his elecéon; referring him to the former Comittees
to be further treated and concluded with concerning the same.
Herevpon, and vpon declaraéon of the State of the newe Patent made
m' Smith€ mocon by S' Hdwin Sandys, m‘ Smith tooke occasion, first to ptest that his
ig y pewe ove, in that he had to speake, reflected not either vpon y° person of
the nowe Gouerno’: in Virginia, or vpon the new Gouerno’ here in
Court, or vpon any other in perticular but for the generall hono’: and
welfare of the Plantation, was to entreat of my lord of Southampton
& the Counsell: that in the said Patent (if no such [198] addiéon
y' y* Gouerno! of of power were therein inserted) authority might be given to the
ee may be quarter Court¢, to question the Gouerno’ of Virginia here in England
juestioned in Eng: | 4 :

him by fyne or otherwise. ffor he could not but declare that not

publicum but priuatum comodum did seeme to have ben their end¢ of
effecting that place: for his private letters (whereof he had at tymes
receaved aboue forty) did as he thought truely informe: That no
direcéons or instrucéons (which w™ singler wisedome dilligence and
care) had from tyme to tyme issued from the Treasuro’: and Counsell
here; had been put by them in execuéon to the losse of many mens
lives there, to the hinderance & scandall of the whole Plantaéon and
to the disesteeme and slightinge of the psons of the Treasuror and
Counsell here, and the authoritie of the whole Court, w™ he onely
presumed to comend to their consideraéons. But herevnto answeare
was made y‘ it was the opinion of m™ Atturney generall vpon a smaler
matter in their newe Patent then this was (namely the punishment
-of labourers artificers and such like offenders) that he feared, it would
have much adoe to passe w such a clause the house of Parliamt, Power Jo displace
And besides they had already power in their said Patent to displace ‘ |
the Gouernor vpon iust occasions: which was conceaved to be as
much as would be graunted vnto them by Acte of Parliament touching
that point.’
The opinion of m*
Atturney Generall.
M’ Smith likewise moved: That for so much as y° lottaries were now ‘ee as ane
suspended, which hetherto had continued the reall and substantiall ,” ,. at a
food, by which Virginia hath been nourished: [199] That insteade Print c.
thereof, shee might be now preserued, by divulginge fame and good
report, as shee and her worthy Vndertakers did well deserue, declar-
ing that it could not but much advance the Plantaéon in the popular
opinion of the Comon Subiecte, to have a faire & perspicuous history,
compiled of that Country, from her first discouery to this day: And
to haue the memory and fame of many of her worthies ||though they
be dead to liue and be transmitted to all posterities||: As namely S*‘
Thomas Dale 8' George Somers 8S" Walter Rawleigh the Lo: Dela-
warr S': Thomas Gates and divers others whereynto were it not for
suspition of flattery he would wish also the names of many her other
worthies yet livinge and some of them now present in Court, might
have also their hono’’: and good deserving@ comended to eternall
thankefullnes, for that our inhabilities had as yet no trewer Coyne,

wherewith to recompence their paines and merrite, affirming also,
that the best now planted part€ of America, vnd' the Spanish gover-
ment nor their Annales or histories of those times, in their like ages
of ours nowe 12 yeares old Virginia afforded better matter of relaGon
then Virginia hath donn; and doth, which what effect such a gen-
erall history (deduced to the life to this yeare) would worke through-
out the Kingdome with the generall and comon Subiect, may be
gathered by the little Pamphlette or declaragons lately printed: And
besides fewe succeedinge yeares would soone consume the lives of
many whose livinge memories yet retayned much and devouered those
letters & intelligences which yet remaine in loose and neglected
papers: for w™ boldnes in mouinge hereof he prayed his Lo”: par-
don, ledd herevnto vpon the request of some of his fellowes of the
Generallity. [200]
w* worthy speach had of the whole Court a very great applause as
spoken freely to a speciall purpose and therfore thought fitt to be
considered of and put in practise in his due time. And for w™ also,
m' Smyth (as preferring alwaies moéons of speciall consequence)
was exceedingly comended.'

Whereas it hath been taken into consideraéon howe importantly
necessary it is to establish two such officers in Virginia as Marshall
and Treasuror whereby the one might take into his care and charge
aswell the fortificacon Armes and forces of the Colony there, and to
cause the people to be duely trayned vp in military services and in
the vse and order of Armes, and so from time to time to [201] mayn-
taine the greatest strength that may be against all forraigne invasions,
And that the other, might not onely w™ like care take into his
Charge the Rent¢ and debt€ that now and here after shalbe due vnto
the Company (there being already aboue 1000" to be answeared vnto
them) but further also see those direcéons that he shall receave from
home for the setting forward all staple Comodities duely and faith-
fully executed from time to tyme (wherein a very great neglect hath
hetherto been observed to the infinite preiudice of that Plantacon)
And for asmuch as Captain William Newce hath been specially
recomended vnto this Company by divers hono”*: persons of this
kingdome for his fidelity iudgement and sufficiency to vndertake and
performe the said office and service of Marshall as having ever been
exercised in military affaires and Armes: And for the said place of
Treasuror because m*™ Sandys was in like manner proposed whome
all men conceaved to be every way sufficient, to take that charge
vpon him: It was thought fitt and ordered that the generall Comit-
tees, assisted w'" some of the Counsell, should meete togeather and
advise aswell for setling of the said offices and places and for accom-
odating them w" fitting allowances and people. As also to take the
like care that the Newe Gouerno' shortly to be sent be well provided
and accomodated fitting for his place and quality, Wherevpon m'
The officers of
Marshall & Treag-
uror held very
necessary.
Capt Newce for
the place of Mar-
shall.

place of Treasuror.

‘The Comittees thought meete also, that for all officers thus setled, the The Priviledges
same priviledges (graunted vnto the said Captaine Thomas Riowce e tear ee ae
deputy) should in like sort be given viz': that whosoever for their likewisegranted to

in, might be imployed for encreasing the numbers of men belonging *
to their places and likewise the hallf of all such old debt@ due vnto the
Company vpon subscripéon that shall be procured and brought in, by

And as touching the Gouerno’: shortly to be sent: It was thought fitt The @ou%no™ to be

the Ile of Wight.
ffor the more speedy effecting whereof, it is also agreed that the The Comittees to

m' Kwens also agreed ynto, offring to carry their Tobacco as good
Cheape as another, and otherwise they did not desire it.
The said offer ree- We? nroposiGons the Court thought very reasonable and therfore rec-
Bees odd * omended it to the Quarter Court, and wall enioyned the said m!
Ewens, to haue his Shipp in a readines by the first of Iuly next, either
at the le of Wight, or where the Comittees shall appointe, whome he
is required to attend for that purpose.
S' Iohn Dauers §* Tohn Dauers delivered (and referred it to the Consideraéon of the
ee Courte) a moéon that fell out to be made after the treaty of the Com-
Gou9no"andother ittees concerning the former officers was concluded: w was that in
a nate reguard of the vsuall constituéon of men and land¢ to belonge to every
the Publique: Cheif officers place, and some reason & experience had found that the
officers Tenant@ were cheifely reguarded and the generall Companies
Tenant¢é the more neglected: it therfore might be fitting to cast and
allott all the Gou9no” and other officers Tenanté into the nmber of the
publique and out of [205] the whole proffitte belonging to the Com-
pany, and the said Gouerno’: and other officers should have their p”
proportionable to the number of Tenant appointed vnto them. By
w meanes there would be a more generall care for the advancing
publique affaires and proffitt of the generall Company since all the
officers interest and Comodity was therein imployed; which moéon
being conceaved an Innovaéon and to overthrowe thing® already estab -
lished was (as the case nowe stoode) thought more likely to introduce
a conceipt in the people of inconstancy of their governm!': & conse-
quently a discontent then such a due reformacon as might be hoped.
Nevertheles it was worthy consideraéon whither the Treasurors place
and other hereafter to be established might not very fittingly be
referred to recoane their proporconable mayntenance from the proffite
of the publique Tenante@ since it was very probable that these officers
so to be mayntained would imploy their owne care, and likewise by
their dilligent watchfullnes enduce the former established officers, to
bestowe their paines more fully and diligently for the raising of the
Companies proffitt and not so much to intend their owne pticulers:
w*" mocon was thought fitt to be considered of hereafter.

had heard had not donn according to their instrucéons to cause their
Tenanteé to plant and builde howses whereby they might haue a fixed
place of abiding and subsistence that therefore the newe Gouerno’
and all others hereafter might be the more strictly dealt wall, in
their Instruccons concerning that point whereby the Company may
not be inforced hereafter at the seaven yeares end to send over fresh
supplies of psons vpon a newe charge w™ moéon was thought fitt to
be recomended to the care and consideraéon of the Counsell and to
insert that Prouiso in his Comission and Instrucéons.
Whereas in respect of the personall worth and merritt of m‘: Ouls-
worth nowe in Virginia a moGon was made for conferring vpon him
the GhanseHo’ship ||Chauncellor?||: wherein he had [206] some good
experiences: It was aunsweared that for somuch as the place is chal-
lenged by another gentlemen pretending a former graunt thereof
from the Company in respect of his adventure, it could not be
graunted: The Court therfore thought fitt, to respite the same
vntill it might appeare what title or pretence the said gentlemn had
therevnto.
M’ Deputy acquainted the Court that for so much as the orders of the
Company did require every officer to give vp his Account for the
yeare past at this Quart’ Court according to his place he thought good
for somuch as concerned him end to yeeld them a true Account (not
doubting but that pte of Account w™ conc'ned my Lo: of South-
ampton himsellf it would please his Lo?: to relate vnto them to their
good satisfacéon.)
Concerning m'‘ deputies Account€ he shewed that whereas he had
receaved divers Somes of money of his Lo?: to be disbursed by him
and the Comittees in making provisions of all sort for divers shipps
and people this yeare sent to Virginia he was not able at this Court to
giue vp a pfect Account of all the pticulars to the finishing of it. In
regard that himsellfe and the Comittees for the more speeedy dispatch
of the said Shipps and people formerly sent had bought divers sorté

of provisions vpon their Creditt€ hoping to have receaved money ere
this tyme from m* Barbor for clearing those debt€. Wherby his
Account€ might have been perfected against this Quarter Court.
But the sodaine suppressing of the Lottaries have caused that money
eame not in as they expected; And forsomuch as the Companies
Stocke lyeth now altogeather in plate, and therfore not so plsently able
to be turned into money, w"out to great losse but hoped it would by
the next Quarter Court w“ would be about five weekes [207] hence;
for these reasons he did humblie entreate this Court that they would
be pleased to respite his Accounteé till the moneys were receaved for
the paying of such debt€ as were to be discharged vpon the last
yeares Account w being cleered he promiseth to bring in his
Account w™ the Court thought verie reasonable.
Touching 8‘ Edwyn Sandys Account he likewise declared that in his
absence he was to signify vnto them, that whereas 8‘: Edwin at the giv-
ing vp of his place stood bound for the Company, for certaine Sumes
of money w*" were ordered to be paid vnto him for discharge of the
fraight of divers shipps, and other things, w™ Shipps for somuch as
all of them are not yet returned but daily expected he therfore desired
his Account¢€ might likewise be respited till the next Quarter Courte
after this: By w™ time hee hopeth the Shippes wilbe returned,
whereby he may discharge her according to the Contract, as +ee ||heel|
had well and carefully donn all oth” for w*" he stoode engaged, w™
moéon was likewise thought very reasonable and of necessitie to be
graunted.
M’ Tucker moved in the behallfe of one m': Norewood whome hee
much comended for his approved skill and experience in surveying
of land¢ and for so much as there was so great vse of such an officer
in Virginia for meating out and distinguishing the true lymitte and
bound¢ of each ptiéler PlantaGon and that he was very desirous to
goe vpon that service that therfore the Company would please to
accept of him for their Surveyo': The Court herevpon referred him
to the Comittees to be further treated w™ about the same.

M': Deputy having informed the Court of m* Newland¢ good affec@on 5: shares of Land
to the Plantaton and of his extraordinary paines and care he had
taken about the Shipping of the psonns transported in y°® Abigaile
taken in at the Ile of Wight: In consideraton whereof the Court was
pleased to bestowe vpon him ‘5: shares of land, reeomending the same
to the confirmaéon of this Quarter Court. [208]
It was likewise moved that for somuch as m’ Bonnall keeper of the
king¢ Silkewormes at Otland¢ had so well deserved of the Company
by his Care in procuringe the ffrenchmen from Languedock w*" were
heretofore sent to Virginia and had likewise reported well of Virginia
to his Ma®: vpon occasion of speach (comending the Mulbery trees in
that Country to be of the best kinde) moued therfore that the Court
would please to gratifie his good deserving€ w" the guift of some
shares of Land and to make him a free brother of the Company
wherevpon it was ordered he should have two shares and have his
admittance accordingly.
The Auditors and Comittees according to a former order of Court
having taken into their consideraéon the many buissinesses incident
to the Secretaries office (farr exceeding that w* was donn by the
former Secretary) thought # fitt in consideraéon thereof to enlarge
his Salary from xx" p Ann: to 40": for the time to come and for the
yeare past to reward him w 20": more then his former stypend in
respect of his paines extraordinary.
S' Iohn Dauers signified that it was the request of my Lady Lawarre
vnto this Courte that in Consideraéon of her good@€ remayning in the

M' Deputy signified vnto the Company that my Lo: of Southampton
could not be here at the begining of this Court by reason of some
speciall buissines this afternoone at Parliament. And therfore desired
that in the meane tyme they might begin to order something in
reguard of many matters they had to dispatch: wherevpon after the
Acté of the former Court were read, he began to remember them of
those pticulars y' had been ppounded [214] in the Preparatiue Court
and referred to the confirmaéon of the greater Quarter Courte.
And first that whereas it hath been taken into consideraGon how
necessary and behoufull it is to establish two such officers in Virginia
as a Treasuror and a Marshall whereby the one might be Accountant
to the Company here for such rents and dutyes as shall yearely accrue
and belong vnto them (there being already 1000": due in that kind)
and especially take care, to cause such direcéons as from hence ||shall||
proceed touching the setting forward of good and staple Comodities
be duely and exactly executed from tyme to tyme, the neglect
whereof hetherto hath been an infinite preiudice vnto the Plantacon:
And that the other officer namely the Marshall might vndertake y°
Care and Charge aswell of the ffortificatons as of the Armes and
forces of the Colony and to settle it in that proporGon of strength as
it may be able to defend it sellfe against all forraigne Enemyes.
To w" end and that these officers might be mayntayned, care had
been taken by the Comittees, assisted w'" some of the Counsell accord -
ing to an order of Courte, and to state and endowe the said offices
w' a convenient Salary: w™ they had proporéoned in man? follow-
inge.

Vpon this and the like vsuall constituéon of men and lands to belonge
to every Cheif officers place. S' Iohn Dauers having formerly taken
a fitt occasion to moue did now againe referr the same to the consid -
eracon of this Court: that seeing both reason and some experience
had taught that officers did more regard, and labor more to advance
their owne Tenant€ by whome they were mayntayned, then those of
the Companies: whither it were not fitting for prevention thereof
hereafter to reduce and cast into the number of the publique those
Tenante [216] that belong to the Gouernor, or any other officer, and
out of the whole proffite belonging to the Company to propocon the
said officers the same allowance ratably according to the number of
their Tenant€: conceaving it to be very probable that this Course, if
any will stirr them vpp to a more serious regard and care of advanc-
ing the publick seeing their own private interest and Comoditye was
therein involued. Wmoéon this Court conceavinge it to be of speciall
importance thought fitt to referr it to the further consideraéon and
determinaéon of the Counsell.

(after w™ rate of 6" a man he is to receaue present payment of the
whole Sum togeather) being put to the question was likewise con-
firmed.’
The Contract made w" the ffrenchmen procured from Languedock
and sent to Virginia for planting of Vynes and orderinge of Silke-
wormes, the said Contract being for payment of ther wages and other
allowances (whereof the said ffrenchmen had already sealed the
Counterpte before their departure hence) the same being now read
and after put to the question was ordered to be sealed.
Three patent€ for pticular Plantaéons in Virginia one to S': Rich:
Bulkly the second to S‘ Richard Worsley and his associat@ and a third

But in regard of the extraordinary well deservinge of S' Edwyn Sandys
and his Continuall constant endeavo™: both before and in the time of
his gouerment and since to vphold and advance the Plantacon by his
industry care and providence the Company thought fitt now in his
absence especially, to shewe some testimony of their loue and thanke-
fullnes though no wayes able to gratifie his paines in that ample meas-
ure as he had deserued, by bestowing 20: shares of land vpon him for
the present till better meanes accrue y‘ might enhable the Company
to be further thankefull vnto him: w* 20: shares being put to the
question were by a Generall Consent ratified and confirmed.
ffor somuch as it hath been obsrved that the alienating and selling
shares of land at an vnder value as comonly men do for 40: or 50°: did
not onely defraud the treasury of much money that would come vpon an
orderly purchase thereof from the Company but did also exceedingly
sleight & disesteeme the free and hono’® bounty of this Court, and in
a manner embace the Virginia Soyle: and besides not a little discour-
age such as had paid in their 12" 10° for every single share; ffor
piventing whereof it was therfore moved that y* Court would please
in bestowing shares |lof land hereafter|| vpon merrite: to graunt it
w™ [219] such lymitaéons, as no man may have liberty to sell, or
transfer his shares to any other for any consideraéon whatsoever vnles
the Comittee appointed for distribuéon of shares should be moved vpon
some speciall reasons to give way therevnto: wherevpon the Court
ordered that from this daye forward all shares of land given by the
Company, shalbe lymited vnder the former Caution, vnles the said
Comittee shall ¢hizke otherwise thinke fitt to allowe thereof. The
names of the said Comittee are these viz’.
S' Edwyn Sandys. vnto whome the
S' fohn Dauers. Court have now added
m* Deputy fferrar. =m" Herbert and
m’ [ohn Smith. m’ Iermine.

them not awaye.
ae to m' Two shares of land given to m’ Bonnall in consideraéon of his paines
in procuring the ffrenchmen from Languedock tor the Companies
service nowe in Virginiabeing put to the question were confirmed vpon
the same condiéon.
m': Deputies ree Concerning m*™ Deputies Account he shewed that whereas he had
| me ning his veceaved divers Sumes of money of his Lo? to be disbursed by him and
the Comittees in making provisions of all sort¢ for divers Shipps and
people this yeare sent to Virginia, he was not able at this Court to
give vp a perfect Account of all y® pticulars to the finishing of it: In
reguard that himsellfe and the Comittees for the more speedy dispatch
of the said Shipps and people formerly sent had bought divers sorte
of provisions vpon their Credditt¢ hoping to have receaved money ere
this time from m‘ Barbor for clearing those debt€ whereby his Account
might have been plserved against this Quarter Court.
But the soddaine suppressing of Lotteries have caused that money
[220] came not in as they expected: And for so much as the Com-
panies Stock lyeth now altogeather in Plate and therfore was not so
presently able to be turned into money w“out to great losse but hoped
that it would be by the next Quarter Court w™ would be about five
week€ hence: for these reasons he did humbly entreate this Court
that they would be pleased to respite this Account till the next moneys
were receaved for the paying of such debt@ as were to be discharged
vpon the last yeares Account w™ the Court thought very reasonable.’
Touching S Ed- Touching St: Edwyn Sandys Account he likewise declared that in his
wyn Sandys Ac- atom cieh -
Pent. absence he was to signify vnto them that whereas S‘ Edwyn at the
giving vp of his place, stood bound for the Company for certaine Sumes

ing the present State of the Cashe his Lo? said he could give them as

great care and Cost of at least 4000": they had heretofore given direc-
con for the setting vp of certain Iron work¢ in Virginia and to that
end peured skillfull workemen for making of Iron they had receaved
credible informaéon that three of their m* workemen were dead: In
supply of whome, because the hope of that Comoditie alone is very
great having already receaved a good proofe thereof by Iron sent from
thence they have already sent three other skillfull workemen to
advance againe the said worke, and now it was their good happ to
light vpon a fourth gent (named m* Iohn Berkly who in the iudgement
of those that knewe him well was helld to be very sufficient that
waye) who did now offer himsellf to goe vpon the said service and
carry over w™ him 20 principall workemen well experienced in those
kinde of [222] worke. wherevpon the Court thought fitt that the Com-
ittees hereafter named or any five of them should treate * * *

ean al touching the Secretary of State there that now is namely (m* Porey)
Mr Porey. it remayned to knowe their Pleasure whither they would continue

the said place to the contentm': of the Company it was conceaved to
be the generall purpose of the Court to change him for a better so

that they haveinge been all fower comended to the Lord of South-
ampton his Lo’: was so nobly mynded towards this Company as to

men might be appoynted to drawe a bill to that purpose ageinst the
next Parlyament that the poore may hereafter be sent to Virginia att
the charge of the parish where they live w™ hee wished the Company
to consider of against the next Courte.
M’ Casewell likewise moved that some course might be thought on to
stirr vpp the Companies here in London that had adventured monny
towards the Planta@on in Virginia to doe the like there by building
of some Towne as they had alredie done in Ireland to their good
proffitt w moéon was well approved of and thought fitt to be prose-
cuted to effect.
Touchinge Tobacco w™ hath been allwaies so generally affected by
the Planters in Virginia S' Edwin Sandys signifyed how extreamly
displeasinge itt was to the Kinge and scandalous vnto the Plantaéon
and vunto the whole Company, that notwithstanding itt hath been
prosecuted these many years by many wise and worthie psons and
wasted in that time a Masse of monney yett hath itt not produced te
any other effect, then that smokie weed of Tobacco, and therefore the
Counsell as heretofore itt may appeare by all their former instrucéons
and letters, so now againe had taken itt into their consideraéon how
they might restraine the generall plantinge theirof or at leaste bringe
itt downe to a farr lesse proporéon and quantitie then now is made.’
Hee further declared that the cheifest cause that all other Comodities
were neglected was found to be the long maynteyninge of the high
price of Tobacco att 3° the pound, w had alredy destroyed a Maga-
zine of att leaste 1000" charge vnto certaine Adventurers for Appar-
rell and other necessarie provisions wherof the Collony stood in need;
w*" they repayd againe [280] in nothinge butt Tobacco forceinge itt
at that price vppon the Cape Marchant wherof a good pt of itt was
scarse sould [fer “" p-potnd] and now againe they have repayd the
wholl Company in the like manner att the same price for all the
charge they have been att for sendinge them Apprentizes Servante
and wives w*" cost the Company heere neer 2000".
The action of the Privy Council for suppressing the importation of tobacco is cited in List of
Records, No. 263, page 149, ante.

A Second thinge taken into consideraton by the Counsell, was what
proporcon hereafter should in all be allowed to be made, and how the
same might be rated by the pole amongst y°® Planters to each famylie
his pt and proporéon towards the makinge vpp of the generall limpe
that shalbe hither brought; Touchinge this poynt itt was conceived
no true estimate could be made till the 4## number of the famylies were
knowne and rectifyed; Butt for the price of Tobacco att 3° p pound
itt was thought fitt to be valued accordinge to the goodnes thereof and
att no certaine price.
Itt was further signified that as itt hath been the vse and practise of
forraigne kings and Monarchs (to their great glory and renowne) att
certaine times to send some speciall worthy psons whom they call
their Sendicks to visite all their Dominions and remoter Countries,
and by vertue of their prerogative and power to examyne w“ a curious
eye the actions and carryage of all the principall Officers and Gouer-
nors a#éd to thend that those that had deserved well might be rewarded
with hono'’, and others punished accordinge to their Demerites; The
like course have beene thought fitt by the Counsell here to be taken
with the Officers in Virginia, and that a choyse Comittee of men of
worth and integritie might be authorised to examine and enquire into
the Acéons and doings of former Office’ & therof to returne a good
Accompt vnto the Company here that they may proceed further therin
accordinge to the rules of Iustice and equytie.
S' Edwin Sandys acquainted the Company w" an exquisite discourse
that a gentleman had made (though not perfected) for the advance-
ment of the Plantaéon who desyred his name might not be made
knowne which discourse hee had devided into those five heade. [231]
The first w™ was most necessarie was matter of ffood and Sustenance
for the Colony wherof hee had discouered the defect€ and proposed
the way how itt might be supplyed.
The Second was matte’ of health for plservinge of w hee had given
excellent direcéons observinge the want herof not to be through the
ill condiéon of the Clymate soe much as through the disordered doings
of the people and their misgouerment.

gen9all Comittees.
M” Katherine Binion shewed in her petigon that wheras one John
Martin late of London esqre was bound to the PetiGone™ ffather m’
Thomas Binion lately deceased for payment of 205" att certaine daies,
shee therfore moved that §in respect§ the said Cap‘: Martin had paide
no pt of the said Debt and by reason of his resydinge in Virginia, shee
knew not how to come by the same, that the Company would please
to take some course to cause him to give her sattisfacton w™ request
being taken into consideracon itt was conceaved the graunt of her
desire would prove an ill president and would disharten many to see
a course taken here to force such men to paie their Debts that had
fled thither with hazard of their lives for releife and safegaurd in
regard of their disabillities to discharge the same; And yett on the
other side beinge vnwillinge to make Virginia a Sanctuary for bad
Debtors that had wherewithall to discharge the same and yett out of
obstenacie or ill consience would take no course that in such cases
direcéon should be given (vppon complainte) to the Gouernor of Vir-
ginia to cause y° ptie indebted to sattisfie the Same out of the proffitte
of his labours w Caution neuerthelesse that there be allwaies lefte
vnto every such Debto’ some Competent means of subsistance; Butt
if they shalbe found sufficientlie able and yett denyed sattisfacéon out
of a pvers willfullnesse that with such ill mindes strict order be taken
for §psent§ payment as the equitie of the Debt shall require; And
because a question was moved whether y® Comp*: had power by their
Pattent to remand any back from Virginia to give sattisfacton here
if need did require, Itt was thought fitt that m* Hide, and m’ Earle did
consider of this poynte and examine the authoritie of the Company
touchinge the same. [240]
The Patent graunted to my Lady Dale for a pticular Plantaéon in
Virginia beinge drawne in the vsuall forme and now fpisented to be
read was referred to a Comittee to pvse the same w™ beinge approved
by them order was given to m’ Deputy to affixe the Seale thervnto,

The Court haveinge made request vnto m’ Chamberlyne to pcure them
some good quantitie of Silkworm seed from beyonnd sea, hee signified
that hee had heard the Seed of Valentia to be held generally the verie
beste for that those wormes would prosp in any place, wheras y°® Seed¢
of other pts would onely thrive in their native and prop Clymate and
no where else and therfore hee promised att their request to solicite
some of his frend¢€ that should doe their best to procure (if they
could) [264] some Six pound of Seed from Valentia accordinge to
their desires, for which the Company gave him verie great thank¢€ and

Tenfhanté att half¢ for 7 years the charge of w™ workemen w" 2: of
their wives and 3 of thire children beinge transported and furnished
w™ apparrell, Victuall, Tooles and all other materialls and necessaries
fittinge for their vse, and of the pformance of the said worke should
stand the Company butt in 150" or ther about@ vppon w™ condiéon the
bargaine was entertayned and the same ratifyed and confirmed by the
last Quarter Courte, yett shortly after entringe into a re-examinaéon
of the State of their Cash they found as things then stood 150" was
more then the Stocke of the Comp*: could make good without bring-
inge themselvs into debt, wherof my Lord of Southampton had
admonished them to be carefull, and thervppon they thought fitt to
turne ouer the said Bargaine to m’ George Sandys. after this vppon
better consideraéon, and for some reasons menéoned in the said order
of Courte, the Company were willinge to entertaine the said bargaine
againe into their hands; But since that time Captaine Norton had
now pisented them a bill of a new charge amountinge to no less then
80": ouer and aboue the former Sume of 150" w™ hee said was to be
disbursed ptlie for redeeminge the said workmens apparrell and
Tooles engaged now for Debt¢, and ptly for such materialls as hee
feared could not be had in Virginia, and without which they could
not pceed in their said worke; Hee therfore thought good to pro-
pose itt to the Consideraéon of this Courte that hee might know their
further pleasure herein, assuringe them that ther was nothinge lefte
in Stocke to discharge so great a Sume, Whervppo after much dispute
aboute itt, Itt was att length moved and desired that if the Compa-
nies stocke were no ways able to goe through with so greate a charge
that then this Courte would please cleerly to release Captaine Norton The Bargaine
of his former Contract and to yeild the same bargaine to pryvate ee phe 4
Adventurers y' would be willinge to vndertake the same w moGon least and th tces
was generally held to be both iust and resonable, and ther vppon the toprivate Aduent-
same beinge accordinglie putt to the question itt was agreed w gen- arene
erall consent y' Captaine Norton should therby be discharged of the
said contract and lefte free for pryvate Adventurers to entertaine the
sald bargaine vppon the same condiéons in poynt of benifitt that the
Comp*: should have done.

third for the advancement of the Glasse ffurnace as hath been for-
merly menéoned; The ffowerth was for the settinge out of a Voyadge
to trade with the Indians in Virginia for Furrs, It beinge certainely
enformed by m’ Chamberlyn & others and now of late from the
Gouerno' and Counsell of State in Virginia of the great trade of Furrs
w*" the French and Dutch have yearly made in Lawarr and Hudsons
Riuer some 20: or 30 Leagues in distance from the Sotherne Plantacon
to their incredible gaine and wealth; ffor better pformance of w™
voyadge a means woulde now be found to doe itt att a less charge then
att other times.
These said good vndertaking€ were generally approved of and moved Direcéons to be
many then present to vnderwrite in the said Rolls, And for the better °°" ° ” ee
furtherance and advancement of this Acéon itt was moved & thought
fitt y* direcéon should be given to the Gouernor to afforde his best
assistance herein.
The said Adventurers have made choyse of m‘ Blany to be their ™ Blany to be
ffacto’ or Agent to trade with the Indians for Furrs, and for this pie Pag
purpose allso m* Bland hath vndertaken to peure one to ioyne with
him that is verie skillfull in those kinde of Comodities if the Adven-
turers think so good.
Itt was moved that seeinge m‘ Iohn Peirce had taken a Patent of S* ™' Peirce his Pat-
Ferdinando Gorge and ther vppon seated his Company w"in the “*'? esac.
lymit€ of the Northerne PlantaGon as by some was supposed wherby
hee seemed to relinquish the benifitt of the Patent hee tooke of this
Company that therfore his said patent might be called in vnlesse itt
might appeare hee would begin to Plante win the lymitte of the
Sotherne Colony, Herevppon the Courte appoynted m" Roberte¢, m‘
George Smith, and m* Webb to treate with m* Peirce aboute itt and
certifie att the next Courte what aunswere they should receave frome
him.’ [257]
ffor so much as the PhisiGons place to the Company was now become

516 RECORDS OF THE VIRGINIA COMPANY
the ffight with two Spanish Ships of Warr the i9 of March last;
Doctor Gulstone did now take occasion to re¢omend vnto the Com-
pany for the said place one m’ Pott€ a M' of Artes and as hee afirmed
well practised in Chirurgerie and Phisique, and expert allso in Dis-
tillinge of waters and that hee had many other ingenious devices soe
as hee supposed his service would be of great vse vnto the Colony in
Virginia, but prayed y' wheras Doctor Bohune was tyed by his Con-
tract to supply such of his Tenant@ as should dy after the first year
att his owne charge that m* Pott@ might be released of that Covenant
beinge too strict and ouer hard as hee supposed, butt itt was aunswered
itt was not in the power of any other butt a Quarter Courte to reverse
or alter the same butt should allwaies finde the Company in all thinge
verie reasonable to all well deservinge men, and therfor if m* Potte
would accept of the place vppon the same condiéonsas Doctor Bohune
did hee should be entertayned and for his better content should be
specially recommended to the Gouernor to be well accomodated and
should have a Chest of Phisique of 20" charge vnto the Company and
all thinge thervnto apptayninge together w™ 10" in Books of Phisique
w*" should allwaies belonge vnto the Company, w Chest of Phisique
and Books Doctor Gulstone was desyred to buy, and seeinge hee |
intended to carry ouer w™ him his wife a man and a mayde they should
have their transporte freed and if one or more Chirurgions could be
gott they likewise should have their passage freed, w* Condiéons m'
Pott havinge accepted of was referred to the Comittees to be further
treated & concluded with.
Itt was signified that St Frauncis Wyatt€ brother beinge a M’ of Arte
and a good Divine and very willinge to goe w™ him this present Voy -
adge, might be entertayned and placed as Mynister ouer his people
and have y® same allowance towards the furnishinge of himselfe w™
necessaries as others have hadd, and that his wife might have her
transporte freed, w" moéon was thought verie reasonable and ordered
by erecGon of hand¢ that hee should be entertayned and haue the
place hee desyred and the same ||like|| allowance of monny graunted
vuto m* Bolton lately entertayned.

m’ Wrote further signified that wheras the reputacon of this Hono’:
Company hath by many sinister courses and iniurious Calumnies been
blemished, (w*"as a mem)‘ of this Company hee could not but resent)
yett the greatest obliquie that hath been layd vppon itt hath been the
imoderate prizes that our Comodities hath been vented att, wherin
the Charitable and pious intention of good men hath been extreamly
wrested and traduced, for avoydinge wherof hee propounded, ffirst
that accordinge to former orders that such Cape marchant€ as have
abused their trust and transgressed their Instructons may receave
exemplary punishment, And for the future to prevent scandall that
ther be a course taken to decry the price of Tobacco in Virginia, as
beinge the onely couller they have to make good their’asserGons, for
that Comoditie is become their monny and is valued att 3° the pound
certaine, (be itt good or badd) wherby they are nourished in that
thirstles and pnicious humor of plantinge Tobacco: and the evill
returnes they make they attribute still to the oppression of the
Adventurers here never consideringe the basenes of their Comodities
and the infinite losse the Company have susteyned by itt, this beinge
not onely the Destrucéons of more then halfe the last Magazine adven-
ture but the consumpéon allso of well nigh all the Companies Stocke
by sendinge the last supply of Prentizes and mayd@ for w™ the
Planters have repayd them againe in nothinge butt Tobacco att 3°
p pound: And ¥ett notwithstandinge the publique Declaraéon of the
Company and pryvate informaéon by pabhere §frequent§ tres and
otherwise of the base estimaéon and price of the Comoditie and of
their desire to be repayd in other Comodities, yett such is their
opinion of this alone as itt hath not been possible hetherto to awake
them out of this straunge dreame; Hee therfore advised that besides
the decryinge of Tobacco some course be taken that some other Com-
oditie may be made their Coyne and that Tobacco might be vented as
as marchandize onely of no certayne price butt accordinge to the
goodnes, this hee desyred might be Comitted as the former; Wher-
vppon the Courte ordered that the former Comittee should take itt
into their Consideraéon and certifie their opinions what they should
thinke fitt to be done therin.

RECORDS OF THE VIRGINIA COMPANY
The most Humble answere of such of y® Virginia Company as could at
present be assemble to y® Right Honorable y® Lords of y* Counsell
touchinge their Lo’*: proposition for y° importinge of all goods from
Virginia into England.
May it pleaso yo" Hono”,
They will take itt as a most singular favo" y* they may enioy their former lib-
erty for bringinge their Comodities into England and transportinge thom els-
where; Butt to be bound to bringe in all their Comodities and to pay Custome
here for all (howesoever markett€ rule abrode) in that they humble desire to
be pdoned and most earnestly beseech yo" Lo”: they may not be compelled for
these subsequent reasons and divers other waightie consideracons.
1. Itt is libertie and freedome that his Ma‘: Subiect¢ through out his Dominions
doe generally practise and enioye to be free to carry their Comodities to the
best Markett¢.
2. Itt is agreater restraint then the Muscouie or any other auncient Corpora-
éon hath vnto whose greatest pryveledges and imunities by his Ma“ gracious
Letters Patent€ they are enhabled and equalled. [267]
3. The same Company have graunted divers Sub patent€ w™ y° same piviledges
as they themselvs enioy wherby some of the Pattentees have been induced to
goe in psonn beinge men of noble and worthy families to expend great Soms
of monny in the Plantacon and some other their wholl estates and itt is nott in
the Companies power now to revoake or restraine them without a generall dis-
hartninge of all present and future Adventuro™.
4, Many Comodities doe now beginn and are like to arise in Virginia that will
not be vendible in England as namely Fish Cauearie, Pipestaues, quantities of
Sassafras, and Sarsaparilla and the meaner sorte of Tobacco, w* in other for-
raigne pts will yeild some thinge butt beinge brought hither will not yeild nor
discharge the Customo,
5. They doe not conceive that they have power to dispose of the goods of Pry-
vate Planters in Virginin who are free and have merited by their long and
hard service all manner of freedome and encourragment.
6. Nor to forbid them to trade and barter their Comodities freely w™ such
Ships as carry Passengers most of w™ afterwards pceed€ on other Voyadges
and returne not |\directly|| for England.

7. They have begunn a Trade from Ireland to Virginia wherby the Colony is
supplyed w™ Cattle and other necessaries from thence and have passed their
Contract, to repay them in Tobacco, w if they shalbe compelled to bring
hither, the Trade is like to pish in the verie begininge to the exceedinge pre-
iudico of the Colony, whose want€ wee know not how to supply, but by these
and tho like means our Stocke beinge exhausted by those two last years great
and large Supplies.
8. Lastly itt is not in our power to conclude this great buisiness wherin abouea
thousand Adventuro™ here in England and almost fower thousand Inhabitante
in Virginia have theire interest.
ffor the rest they humbly beseech Yo" Lo”: to beleive that they affect no for-
raigne Trades with any neighbour nation more then in case of necessitie and
for the better susteyninge and advancement of the Coloney: Butt shall always
endeavo’ such a mutuall trade between Englande and Virginia as shall stand
with the hono™ and benefitt of both: And soe humbly desire yo™ Lordships
to conceive of them, that next God@ Glory they cheifly ayme att the good of
this Kingdome the advancement of his Ma“ hono’ and speedy encrease of his
higness profitt and revennue.
ffor w™ ends they have out of their owne pryvate states (besides their labor
and time) expended aboue one hundred Thousand pound¢ withoutt returne
either of profitt or of any pt of the principall it selfe to any one of the [268]
Adventurors to their knowledge, and yett doubt not but by Gods blessinge
his Ma: accustomed gracious favour and yo" Lo” fat Honorable furtherance
in short time to bringe this great worke to a good pfecéon.
This Answere beinge reade and throughly debated the Court did T* snore any

make them butt savers w" hee refused to doe, wherby yo" ll’? may
see how great their desires is to give yo" hono™ sattisfaccon, And
humbly beseech to have free libertie to bringe into England or not to
bringe in their Tobacco accordinge as they shall finde itt most advan -
tagious and boneficall vnto the Plantaéon; By w*" liberty they hope
to effect those great matters of hono' and profitt to his Ma”: and this
kingdome w™ they have pmised from Virginia. [270]
Butt if this seeme not convenyentt to yo" ll”: for his Ma*: proffitt
(w* they most sincerely affect) rather then be a hinderance of the
improvement therof, although to their owne very great preiudice, they
will for this yeare restraine themselvs and forbear to bringe in any
Tobacco att all from Virginia this yeare ensuinge.’
Mee M’ Deputy acquainted the Courte that one m* Copeland a Mynister
i ’ lately returned from the East Indies out of an earnest desire to give
some furtherance vnto the Plantatéon in Virginia had been pleased as
well by his owne good example as by pswasion to stirr vpp many that
came with him in the Ship called the Royall Iames to contribute
towardes some good worke to be begunn in Virginia: insomuch that
hee hadd pcured allredy a matter of some 70" to be imployed that
waie and had allso write frome Cape Bona Speranza to diuers ffacto™
in the East Indies to moue them to some charitable contribuéon there
vnto, So as hee hoped they should see verie shortlie his letters would
produce some good effect amongst them especially if hee might vnder-
stand in what manner they intended to imploy the same. Itt was
therfore ordered that a Comittee should be appoynted to treat w' m’
m' Copeland ad- Copeland about itt, And for soe much as hee had so well deserved of
mitted to be free. . fe . : Sars
the Company by his extraordinary care and paynes in this buisiness
itt was thought fitt and ordered that hee should be admitted a free
Brother of this Company and att the next Quarter Courte itt should
be moved that some proporton of Land might be bestowed vppon
him in gratifica¢on of his worthie endeavo”™ to advance this intended
worke, and further itt was thought fitt allso to addm#t him ef ||tol|

OCTOBER 31, 1621 537
M’* Deputy declared vnto the Courte that hee and those gentlemen
appoynted by the last Courte had deliuered vnto the TI* of the Coun-
sell the Companies aunswer and resolucon ||to forbeare|| to bringe in
any Tobaeco att all for this year followinge which as their Tt’* for-
merly intimated they conceaved would have given them full sattisfac-
econ; Butt their ll”: tearmed itt an vnduetifull answere and com-
maunded them on their pills to bringe in all their Tobacco, against w”
himselfe and the rest alleadged ail the reasons y* were so often in the
Courte discussed, of impossibilitie inconvenyency and the supposed
[ou] ouerthrowe of the PlantaGon But their Lo” told them that they
were not to dispute at that Boorde, and againe gave them an absolute
comaund to bring in all their Tobacco [274]’ Att this Reporte the
Court remained much greiued and conceauinge it a matter of greater
importance and difficulty then to admitt any present deliberaéon
espeacially of so fewe they were resolued that the buissines should be
reserued entire for the Preparatiue and Quarter Courte to take into
their graue consideraéons howe the Companie should proceed between
two such extreame difficulties as their llp*. comaund and the vtter dis-
hartninge of all both Aduenturers and Planters.
Notwithstandinge these apprehended disasters m*’ Deputy exorted the
Companie not to be discouraged for that he hoped God had still a
hand in the protecéon of Virginia who turned all thinge for the best,
when diuers former Proiect¢ in their first appearance seemed to tend
towardé the verie distruccon of the Plantaéon; and therefore hoped
that hauing put their hand¢ to the Plough they would not nowe looke
back nor be weary of well doeinge for the Acéon it selfe was such, as
he knewe no man but confessed it to be most Christian hono”’® and
glorious, and of high consequence vnto this comonwealth and though
they might seeme to some to haue cast their bread vpon the waters;
yet after many dayes he doubted not but they should finde it againe,
to their great comfort, the rather in reguard their tp* professed to
wish the prosperity of the Planta¢on from whome wee may not de
* # * |\despairel|| of helpe or redresse vpon further informaéon.

538 RECORDS OF THE VIRGINIA COMPANY
M’ Deputy further declared that albeit the Companies Stocke beinge
well nighe exhausted was able to doe but litle this present yeare for
sendinge of people to Virginia, yet it pleased God to stirr vp so many
worthie mindé€ for the aduancem‘ of this noble AcGon, as there was
no lesse win the space of these 5-6 §six§ Moneths then 20: Sayle
with those already gonn and that would after Christmas (by Gode
assistance) sett out for the PlantaGons, whereby aboue 1000 psons
wilbe transported, whereof neare 900 went vpon priuate mens charges,
And as at home so abroad likewise euen from Cape Bona Speranza
God had raised vp many benefactors toward¢ this good worke, inso-
much as the Companie of gentlemen and Marriners that lately came
home from the Indies in the Royall Iames had giuen a contribuéon of
70" towardé the buildinge of a Church or Schoole in Virginia beside a
probable hope of a further [275] supplie from diuers factories in the
Kast Indies through y’® solicita¢on of a learned Minister (namely m’
Copland) by whose good example and pswasion they were moued to
this pious worke.
Hee also signified that forsomuch as it was referred vnto the Com-
panie to determine whither the said money should be imploied towarde
the buildinge of a Church or a schoole as aforesaid, the Comittee
appointed haue had conference with m* Copland about it, and do
hold it fitt for many important reasons to imploye the said contribu-
éon towardé the errecéon of a publique free schoole in Virginia,
toward€ w™ an vnknowne person hath likewise giuen 30" as may
appeare by the Report of the said Comittee nowe presented to be
read.

Indy Companie that came with him in the Royall James to be bestowed
vpon some good worke for the benifitt of the Plantaéon in Virginia,
the said m' Copland beinge nowe present did deliver in a note 6£ the
names of those that had freely and willingly contributed their moneyes
herevnto, w™ money m’ Copland said they desired might be imployed
towardé the buildinge either of a Church or Schoole in Virginia (w
the Companie should thinke fitt). And that although this Some of
money was but a smale proporéon to pforme so great a worke, yet m’
Copland said he doubted not, but to pswade the East Indy Companie
(whome he meant to solicite), to make some Addiéon therevnto, besid¢
he said that he had very effectually writt (the Coppie of w™ letter he
shewed and was read) to diuers ffactories in the Hast Indies to stirr
them vp to the hike Contribuéon toward¢ the pformance of this pious
worke as they had already donne for the buildinge of a Church at
Wappinge where by his Report they haue giuen about 400".
It beinge therefore nowe taken into consideraéon whither a Church
or a Schoole was most necessarie and might nearest agree to the inten-
éons of the Donors: It was conceaued that for somuch as each pticu-
ler Plantaton aswell as the generall either had or ought to haue a
Church appropriated vnto them, there was therefore a greater want
of a Schoole then of Churches: As also for that it [276] was impos-
sible with so smale a proporGon to compasse so great a charge as the
buildinge of a Church would require, they therefore conceaued it most
fitt to resolue for the erectinge of a publique free schoole w™ beinge
for the educaéon of Children and groundinge of them in the principles
of religion Ciuility of life and humane learninge serued to carry with
it the greatest waight and highest consequence vnto the Plantaéons as
that whereof both Church and commonwealth take their originall foun-
daéon and happie estate, this beinge also like to proue a worke most
acceptable vnto the Planters, through want whereof they haue bin
hitherto constrained to their great cost€ to send their Children from
thence hither to be taught.
Secondly it was thought fitt that this schoole should be placed in one
of the fower Citties and they conceaued that Charles Citty, of the
fower did affoord the most convenient place for that purpose as well

in respect it matcheth with the best in holesomnes of Aire, as also for
the comodious scituaéon thereof, beinge not farr distant from Henrico
and other perticuler Plantaéons.
It was also thought fitt thatin hono’ of the Kast Indy Benefactors,
tho same should be called the Hast Indy Sehoole who shall haue pre-
cedence before any other to preferr their Children thither to be
brought vp in the rudimenté of learninge; It was also thought fitt that
this as a Collegiate or free schoole should haue dependance vpon the
Colledge in Virginia w should be made capable to receaue Schollers
from the Shoole into such Scollershipps and fellowshipps as the said
Colledge shalbe endowed withall for the aduancement of schollers as
they arise by degres and deserts in learninge.
That for the better mayntenance of the Scholem’ and Vsher intended
there to be placed it was thought fitt that it should be moued at the
next Quarter Co™ that 1000 acres of land should be allotted vnto the
said Scolle, and that 5 psons besid€ an ouerseer of them should be
forthwith ||sent|| vpon this charg in the condicon of Apprentices to
manure and cultiuate the said land, and that ouer and aboue this
allowance of land and Tenant¢€ vnto the Schoolem’, such as sent their
Children to this Schoole should giue some benevolence vnto the
scoolem’ for the better encrease of his mayntenance
That it should be speacially recomended to the Gouernor to take care
that the Planters there be stirred vp to put their helpinge handeé
toward¢ the speedy buildinge of the said Schoole in respect [277]
their Children are like to receaue the greatest benifitt thereby in
their educaéon: And to let them knowe that those that exceed others
in their bounty and Assistance herevnto shalbe priuiledged with the
preferment of their Children to the said Schoole before others that
shalbe found lesse worthie.
It is likewise thought fitt that a good Schoolem’ be prouided forthwith
to be sent vnto this Scoole.
It was also informed by a gentleman of this Comittee that he knewe
one that desired not to be named that would bestowe 30" to be added

Afternoone about two of the Clocke at m’ ffarrars howse against w™
time order is nowe giuen for warninge both the said Widdowe Smalley
and Capt: Argall to make their appearance as also all such Wittnesses
as could be pduced on the behalfe of the said Complaynant. [280]
M™ Allice Bohune Widdowe late wife of Do' Bohune peticoned vnto
the Companie that forsomuch §as§ her said Husband in his life time
was at great charge as shee supposeth for the prouidinge furnishinge
and transportinge of Servanté€ into Virginia that the Companie would
please to allowe her some Annuall contribuGon as also to release and
free her sonne Edwards Barnes from his seauen yeares seruice where-
vnto he is tyed contrary to his meaninge and: her expectaton: But
answeare was made that shee was misinformed for that the Companie
and not Do’ Bohune were at all the said cost and charges and for that
her sonn was the Companies Servaunt, he was to serue out his yeares
and might not be sett at liberty.
Vypon the humble request of m’ Rider that m* Ro: Taylor whome he
reported to be a gentleman of good quality nowe in Virginia might be
sett at liberty and made free: The Court is pleased to graunt him his
freedome, vpon condicon he paye the Companie for the charge of his
passage and whatsoeuer other charge they haue bin at for his beinge
there.
M’ Robert Staples a Minister comended much by m’ Abraham Cham-
berlen and by Certificate from many Diuines resident in this Citty
reportinge him to be of honest conversaéon and a good Scholler:
beinge desirous to goe to Virginia did nowe make request, that the
Companie would please to entertaine him for their Minister there.
But the Companie wantinge meanes to furnish him out did moue that
some of the pticuler PlantaGons would imploy him:
Wherevpon m* Darnelly signified that he thought that they of Mar-
tins Hundred wanted a Minister to whome he was recomended. [281 ]

1800" in a ioynt Stocke for transportinge of men and diuers goods for
a ffishinge voyage in the yeare i618 ouer w™ the said m*™ Pountis had
charge & gouerm‘' moued y‘ forsomuch as it seemed the Companie
intended to imploye the said m‘ Pountis in their seruice that they
would please in consideraéon hereof §to giue§ the said priuate Aduen-
turers send greater pporéon of land for the 25 men formerly sent
ouer [283] As also some consideraéon for the good@ remayninge
whereof the Companie might make good vse. ‘Touchinge the first
aunsweare was made that the Companie did not conceaue m* Pountis
to be any way engaged vnto them but rather had receaued much preiv-
dice by their failinge him of their promised Supphes whereby he could
effect nothinge for want of meanes, where 16 did appeare he was so
much dishartned as if made him put on a resolucon to come home for
England had not the Companie given him some encouragm! to stay by
conferringe this place vpon him as also the managinge of some other
buissines, As for such goods of thers as yet remayned, Itwas lawfull
and free for them to make their best markett€ whereby there could
be no great losse.
M' Deputy signified that he was to moue the Court for graunt of three
seuerall Patent¢ for perticuler PlantaGons vnto such as would vnder-
take to transport at their owne charge one hundred psons a peece to
Virginia the first for S* Charles North, the second for m* Crowe, the
Third for m* Leninge, w™ seuerall Patent@ the Co™ gaue order for
drawinge them vp in that vsuall forme against the Quarter Court
Whereas in drawinge vp the Patent for St Richard Worsly and _ his
Associat@ there was a mistake in settinge downe of Anthony Ienings
for Abraham it was moued that erro’ might be amended at the next
Court w™ was graunted.
It was ordered by consent of the Aduenturers of the old magazine
that m*’ Abraham Chamberlen shall take vp as much money here as
appeareth by the Account of Iohn De Clarke to be due to the old
Magazine and remaine in his hand¢@ and paye the same ouer to m'
Richard Bull that a diuident may be made to the Aduenturers.

It was moued that whereas many bill€ of Aduenture were from time
to time presented to the Court w were found to be omitted in the
printed publicaéon that here after a booke of purpose might be kept
to register the said names alphabettically for the ready findinge of
them vpon any occasions w*" moéon was well approued of and order
giuen to the Secretary to see it donne vnto whome all such bill€ are
to be presented that he may take the better notice of them.
It was also moued that such shares as were passed ouer from one
from another might be registred alphabettically in a booke w“ was
also well approued.
It was further moued that whereas since the printed publicaton many
orders were established in Quarter Court€ that did binde the Com-
panie no lesse then the standinge lawes themselues that therefore the
aforesaid Co™ might be carefully pvsed and Collecéon made of all
such bindinge orders w™ being further ratified might be added to the
rest of the lawes in the printed booke. [287]
It beinge signified that m‘ Essington beinge made acquainted with
the order of the last Court held the 4" of this present Moneth touch-
inge the auditinge of the Account€ remayninge in his hand€ and the
makinge of warrant€ to m* Richard Bull to. paye what shall appeare
to be due to euery man, (the broke for non payment¢ at due times
beinge allowed accordinge to the orders of the Magazine) w™ order
for that it was net somewhat doubtfull and not clearely expressed in
this last order of Court, he desired the same might be so farr explained
as the time may be pemtorily sett downe when the brok¢ shall begin:
Wherefore it was agreed that accordinge to the said former order the
Brok@ vpon defalt of the first payment shall beginn at Bartholmewe
tyde, and for default of the other payment€ appointed to be made in
HKaster and Michas Termes the allowance for brok€ shall begin at the

Whereas it appeareth by the printed booke of names of the Aduen-
turo™ that one Io: Clapham paid 25" into the Treasury who lately
died intestate. It was therefore moued this Court would please to
confirme the said two shares of $land§ vnto m’ * Clapham being
his next heire, But in respect no Bille of Aduenture could be showen
to proue the deceased Clapham to be that Io Clapham menéoned in this
printed booke the Court remained in some doubt least he was not the
same man and therefore haue respited the graunt of the said Shares
till his claime appeare to be iust by some clearer evidence. [289]

raéon might be made as well tothe Companie of London as to all other
Citties and Townes of this Kingdome that haue aduentured any Somes
of mony toward¢€ the PlantaGon in Virginia to let them knowe what
proporéons of land belong@ vnto them in respect of their said Aduen-

Quarter Court and that in the meane while his book¢€ of Accounte
might euery Co™ day be brought in and laid vpon the Table to be
veiwed and pvsed and excepted against if any erro* could be found,
but if no exception in the meane while could be taken thereat he praid
ho might then haue his Quictus est.
Whereas the Companie had formerly contracted with Captaine Norton
for settinge vp of a glasse furnace in Virginia to make glasse and
beadé (as by the pticulers of the said Contract more at large may
appeare) It was nowe declared that for somuch as the Charge of fur-
nishinge out the said Capt Norton (when it came to be pticulerly
examined) did farr exceed that proporton w™ he had before proposed
to the Companie insomuch as the Comon Stocke beinge altogether
exhausted was no way able to pforme the same, So that this great
worke whereof the Companie had conceaued so good a hope was like
to haue fallen to nothinge for want of sufficient meanes [291] to goe
forward with it, for w™ cause the Company hauinge giuen it ouer it
pleased certen priuate Aduenturers to vphold the same and therevpon
entertayned the bargaine made with Capt: Norton and the Italians
vpon like condiGons as the Companie had Donn, and yet beinge unwil-
linge to exclude y® Companie from a buissines so much concerninge
them they did agree they should ioyne w” them in a fourth pt of y°
Charge and so ptake a 4" of y® benefitt that should any waies accrue
thereby In consideraéon whereof as also for their better encouragem‘
the said Aduenturers moued that the Companie would please to
bestowe amongst them all the land@ that should be due for transpor-
tacon of people sent thither to be imployed vpon the said worke, w™
mocon the Court conceaued to be verie reasonable and fitt to be
graunted in respect of the great charge they haue and must still be at
In prosecuéon thereof, beinge therefore put to the question the Court
confirmed the same vnto them.
M* Deputy signified that whereas it pleased the Companie to rest the
exhibiting of his Account¢ till this Quarter Court in respect that
moneyes were not then ready to discharge those debt@ w*" he and
some others stood engaged for for many kind@ of prouisions taken vp

Companie to paye) he thought good to present his Account as it was
though not fully perfited that they might be acquainted with the State
thereof and so leaue it to their pleasure for the auditinge of it, but the
Jourt. Conceaucd 16 more convement to respit the same till the next
Quar’’ Court, hopinge by that time sufficient meanes would come in
to the full finishing of his Account.
Concerninge 8’ Edwin Sandys Account m* Deputy signified that he
would err longe be here himselfe to present the same vnto them, when
he doubted §not§ but he would giue the Companie good satisfaccon.
The Comittee appointed by the former Court hauinge taken into con-
sideraGon what proporéon of allowance they conceaued to be neces-
sarie for the present support and mayntenance of a Vice admirall in
Virginia whereof they conceaued there was a verie great necessity
and that the want of such an Officer haue bin no smale losse and
preiudice vnto the Companies Shipps and prouisions and other pub-
lique seruice haue thought fitt in respect of the quality of the place to
state the same w™ 300 acres of land and the number of 12 Tenant¢ to
be placed therevpon for the plantinge and cultiuatinge thereof w™
allowances were thought verie reasonable and therevpon beinge put
to the question were ratified and confirmed.
And for somuch as m‘ Io: Pountis was espeacially recomended for the
said place of Vice admirall in respect of his sufficiency and continuall
reguard of the publique good §&§ of the Companies direcéons (in
consideracon whereof he was by a former Court chosen to execute the
said place by Comission prouisionally for one yeare vntill it might be
further confirmed vnto him by order of a Quart’ Court) It is therefore
nowe agreed and ordered that the said lo: Pountis shall continue in
the place of Viceadmirall for three yeares begining from the date of
these presente. [292]

M' Waterhowse beinge formerly chosen and appointed to collect the
moneyes from such as are indebted to the Company vpon subscriptions,
hauinge nowe presented his Propositions and agreem“ made with the
appointed Comittee who thought fitt to allowe him 50* a weeke for his
rydinge charges duringe his imployment to be taken out of his receipté
from time to time and that a further consideraéon should be had of his
paines and trauell herein, w" w” m* Waterhowse was contented and
promised to solicite the Bis” that were behinde gratis : The Court there-
fore takinge the said allowances into their consideraéon did well aproue
thereof and beinge put to the question confirmed the same vnto him
promisinge to deale liberally with him vpon discharge of that [293]
buissines, and further also for his better encouragement in so good a
worke as he hath ;,vndertaken they haue admitted him to be a free
Brother of the Companie: And touchinge his Comission w™ he is to

would surrender his old Patent w had bin so often questioned and
complained of both by the Companie here and by the Gouernor and
Counsell of State in Virginia in respect of the vnlawfull priuiledges
therein; directly contradictinge the standing orders of the Companie
w required all Patent@ to be made alike w” equall fauo’ (exceptinge
the difference of Rent) vnto all, he should then not only haue a newe
Patent in as large and ample manner as any other whatsoeuer but

Associat@ vnto any such as were Planters or had vpon their priuate
charge sent any persons to Virginia, would please within some rea-
sonable time to declare themselues vnto the Court that notice might
be taken of their names to be registred in a booke for that purpose
to be kept whereby they might be admitted to come vnto Court¢€: It
beinge otherwise against the order of the Companie for any to present
himselfe in Court before he be admitted.
Whereas the Auditors of the old Magazine were earnestly entreated
to audite the Account€ in m* Hssingtons Handé¢ and to giue warrant
to m* Richard Bull to pay what shall appeare to be due to euery man
the Broke for non paymenté€ at due times beinge allowed accordinge
to the orders of the Magazine ffor somuch as it was informed that m*
Essington desired some better explanacon of the said order touch-
ing the times when the said Broké¢ are to take their begininge It is
found by pervsall of the booke, that it was ordered that the Broke
vpon default of the first payment should begin at Bartholmewe
tyde, and for default of the other payment appointed to be made in
Kaster and Michas Termes, the allowance for brok€ should begin
at the end of those Termes, and so forward till this present daye
and to run at 20 p Centti and that the Auditors should be certified of
this and desired to proceed accordingly.
Whereas a moéon was made in the former Court that for somuch as
many Bills of Aduenture were passed presented to the Court from
time to time w” were found to be omitted in the Printed Publicaéon
that therefore the book€ might be hereafter kept alphabetticallwise
conteyninge the names of all such Aduentur™® w™ moéon was well
approued of and order giuen to the Secretary to see it donn vunto
whome all such bills are to be deliuered that he may register their
names whome it doth concerne.
It beinge further moued in the former Court and referred to the con-
sideracon of this great Court, that whereas since the printed Publica-
gon many orders were established in Quarter Court¢ that did binde
the Companie no lesse then the standinge lawes themselues that

S* John Dauers. m’ Ro: Smith.

After these thingé were thus ordered m* Deputy aduertized the Com-
panie that he was to acquaint them with a waightie buissines namely
the proceedinge of some former Court€ touchinge the Lord¢ of the
Priuy Counsell their late proposi¢on and comaund for bringinge in
all their Tobacco into England to paye the custome here due for that
his Ma“ revenues (as it was alledged by y° tts) could not other wise
be vpheld concerninge w™ that this Court might the better vnder-
stand the whole proceed of this buissines from the verie begininge
thereof to that pointe and period it was brought vnto, and wherevpon
it nowe resteth he desired they would please to heare the same read in
order as it was psecuted w™ buissines begai the 15" of October last
and so forward as may appeare by the seuerall Courté.
W" beinge read m* Deputy made two request€ vnto y° Company, the
first was to knowe whither they did approue of that he had donne by
the aduise and direcéon of the ||said|| Court€ touchinge the former
Propositions, the second was that they would nowe please to deliuer
their opinions freely what course they conceaued best to take to
release the Companie of this strict comaund and to restore them-
selues to their former liberty, and the rather for that it was expected
that this ||Court|| especially (wherevnto it was referred) should do
somethinge herein and not omitt to declare their resoluéon touchinge
this present buissines concerninge the first the Court did generally
assent therevnto testifyinge their good approbaéon of their pceedingé

072 RECORDS OF THE VIRGINIA COMPANY
Lo: Chamberlen w™ those important reasons that moued them here-
vnto whereby they trust his lp: will remaine satisfied.
Whereas ||m"|| Abraham Chamblen had formerly promised to take vp
so much money here as appeared by the Account of Io: D’ Clarke to
remaine in his hand¢ for ¢he Tobacco sold by him at Midleburrough,
fforsomuch as John D’ Clarke had aduertized by letter that he had
trusted out some pt of the Tobacco to be paid at certaine dayes w™
were not yet due, m’ Chamblen therefore moued that the money
might be forborne till John De Clarke had receaued it, beinge pswaded
thet §$it§ was sure enough, but in the meane time he desired he might
not be tied to his former pmise least for his good will and paines
freely bestowed for the Companie he should run into an inconven-
ience. [302]
The Auditors appointed for the old Magazine.
m’ Kightly. m’ Clethero.
m* Cranmer. m’ Bland.

are entreated to pfect those Account€ and it is required that m’
Essington make no more warrant¢ for paym‘ of moneys but that the
Auditors pforme the same after they haue sett those Accounté right
who are likewise to take notice that it is nowe agreed and ordered
that those that haue already taken out their Capitalle of Tobacco
shall haue no part of the Diuident in money, but such as haue taken
out but part shall haue so much allowed in money as may make them
equall with the rest that are to receaue vpon the Diuident of mony.
M* Edwaras and m" Ditchfeild beinge at a Sumer Ilande Court
appointed to repaire to St Tho: Smith for such writinge and booke as
concerned the Sumer Ilandé¢ are desired likewise to §en§treat of him

580 RECORDS OF THE VIRGINIA COMPANY
The Patent likewise for Martins Hundred was also appointed to be
drawne vp against the next Quarter Court and the Companie entreated
to meet in the forenoone to examine the same that it might be ready
to pass the Seale with the other Patente. [3808]
A letter was brought to the Court by an vnknowne pson directed to
the Hono”* Companie of Virginia, content€ whereof are sett downe
verbatim in the Quarter Court followinge this.
W" Letter beinge read the Companie did much reioyce to heare that
it had pleased God still to stirr vp so worthie a benifacto™ vnto the
Plantation: And because the said Letter contayned some matter of
waight in it, This Court thought fitt to referr it to the consideraton
of the Quarter Court when the Companie were desired (accordinge to
the request of the said Letter) to giue some Account howe the said
first money was imployed for the better satisfacton of the Donor.
M* Waterhowse presented in writinge the Aunsweares of such as he
had solicited for moneys due vpon their subseripéon vnto the Com-
panie, by w™ it appeared that diuers had Acquittances to showe for
payment of those moneys they are charged with, and some others
desired time to consider thereof The Court thought fitt to recomend
it to the Auditors to take such course therein as they should see cause:
Wherevpon S* lo: Dauers signified that he had moued my Lord
Keeper for the Assistance of his Lps Letter vnto such as should
refuse to paye in their moneys due vpon subscripéon to the Companie
And that it pleased his Ip: to promise Shis ltes§ should be ready if
occasion were offered.
And in reguard m* Waterhowse had taken great paines about solicit -
inge for moneys and had giuen so good an Account of what he had
already donn It was vpon moéon thought fitt to bestowe vpon him
two shares of land old Aduenture w” beinge put to the question was
well approued of.
The like reward of two Shares of land was thought fitt to be bestowed
on m"™ Balmeford in respect of his often attendance at Courte and

RECORDS OF THE VIRGINIA COMPANY
Children, as it will appeare by that letter w™ I desire may be read in open
Court wherein I chiefely comended the orderinge thereof to the wisedome of
you the Neble §Hono’’§ Companie, And whereas the gentlement of South-
umpton Hundred haue vndertaken the disposinge of the svid 550" 1 haue longe
attended to see the erectinge of some Schoole or other waye whereby some of
the Children of the Virginians might haue bin taught and brought vp in
Christian religion and good manners w™ not beinge donne accordinge to my
intent but the money deteyned by a priuate hundred all this while contrary to
my minde, though I iudge verie charitably of that hono®'® Society, And as
already you haue receaued a great and the most painefully gained part of my
estate toward¢ the layinge of the foundaéon of Christian religion and helpinge
forward of this pious worke in that Heathen nowe Christian land, So nowe I
require of the whole Body of yo’ Hono’ and worthie Companie (whome I
entrusted with the dispose of the said moneyes,) to see the same speedily and
faithfully converted to the worke intended: And I do further propound to you _.
the hono’” Companie that if you will procure that some of the male Children
of y°® Virginians (though but a fewe) be brought ouer into England here to
be educated and taught, and to weare a habbit as the Children of Christ€
Hospitall do, and that you wilbe pleased to see the said 550" converted to this
vse then I §do§ faithfully promise that when eight or ten of the Virginians
Children are brought over, and placed in London either in Christ€ Hospitall
or el€ in the Virginian Schoole or Hospitall (as it may be called and by the
will€ and guift€ of good men may be yearely augmented) where the Companie
may haue an ey ouer them and be (as it were) nursinge flathers vnto them
then I say I faithfully promise to add 450" more to make the Sume 1000"
w*" if God permitt I will cheerfully send you only I desire to nominate the
first Tuto” or Gouernor who shall take charge to nurse and instruct them:
But if you in yo" Wisedomes like not of this moéon then my humble Suite
vuto y° whole body of yo" Hono”'’* Companie is that my former guift of 550" be
wholly imployed & bestowed vpon a free Schoole to be erected in Southampton
Hundred (so it be presently imployed) or such other place as I or my freinde
shall well [313] like of wherein both English and Virginians may be taught
together and that the said Schoole be endowed with such priuiledges as you in
yo" wisdomes shall thinke fitt: The M’ of w Schoole I humbly craue may
not be allowed to goe ouer except he first bringe in to the Companie sound

This letter beinge referred to the consideraéon of this Court for
somuch as it did require an Account of the Companie howe they haue
expended the saide money vizt the 550" in gold for the bringinge vp
of the Infidell€ Children in true religion and christianity, S' Hdwin
Sandys declared that the said money cominge vnto him enclosed in a
box in the time of his beinge Treasuror, not longe after a letter sub -
scribed Dust and Ashes had bin directed vnto him in §the§ quality of
Treasuror, and Deliuered in the Court and there openly read he
brought the money also vnto the next Court andthereopent++ead in
the Box vnopened: Wherevpon the Court after a large and serious
deliberaéon howe the said money might be best imployed to the vse
intended, at length resolued that it was fittest to be entertayned by
the Societies of Southampton Hundred and Martins Hundred and
each to vndertake for a certaine number of tke Infidell¢ Children to
be brought vp by them, and amonngst them in Christian Religion and
some good Trade to lyue by accordinge to the Donors religious desire ;
But Martins Hundred desired to be excused by reason their Plantaéon
was sorely weakened and as then in much confusion: Wherevpon it
being pressed that Southampton Hundred should vndertake the whole
they also consideringe together with the waight the difficulty also and
hazard of the buissines were likewise verie vnwillinge to vndertake
the managinge thereof and offered an addicon of 100" more vnto the
former some of 550" that it might not be put vpon them. But beinge
earnestly pressed therevnto by the Court and findinge no other meanes
howe to sett forward that great worke yealded in fine to accept
thereof: Wherevpon soone after at an Assembly of that Society the
Aduenturers entred into §carefull§ a consideraéon howe this great
and [314] and waightie buissines might with most speed and great
aduantag be effected: Wherevpon it was agreed and resolued by them
to imploy the said money together with an Addiéon (out of the said
Societies purse) of a farr greater Some toward the furnishinge out of
Captaine Bluett and his Companie beinge 80 verie able and sufficient
workmen w" all manner of prouisions for the settinge vp of an Iron
worke in Virginia, whereof the proffitt@ accruinge were intended and
ordered in a ratable proporéon to be faithfully imployed for the
educatinge of 30 of the Infidell¢ Children in Christian Religion and

588 RECORDS OF THE VIRGINIA COMPANY
otherwise as the Donor had required: To w% end they writt verie
effectuall letters vnto 8' Geo: Yeardley then Gouernor of Virginia
and Capt: also of Southampton Plantation: not oncly recomendinge
the excellencie of that worke, but also furnishinge him at large with
aduise & direcéon howe to proceed therein with a most earnest adiura-
Gon (and that often itterated in all their succeedinge Letters) so to
imploy his best care and industrie therein, as a worke whereon the
eyes of God, Angell€, and men were fixed: The Coppie of w letter
and Direcéon through some omission of their Officer was not entred
in their booke, but a course should be taken to haue it recouered.
In aunsweare of this letter they receaued a letter from S* George
Yeardley; shewinge howe difficult a thinge it was at that time to
obtaine any of their Children w™ the consent and good likinge of
their Parent€ by reason of their tendernes of them & feare of hard
vsage by the English vnlesse it might be by a Treaty with Opachan-
kano the Kinge w® Treaty was appointed to be that Sumer wherein
he would not faile to do his vttermost endeauo”™.
But Capt: Bluett dyinge shortly after his arriuall, it was a great set-
tinge backe of the Iron worke intended; yet since that time, care had
bin taken to restore that buissines with a fresh Supplie: So as he
hoped well, the gentleman that gaue this guift should receaue good
satisfacéon by y°® faithfull Account w™ they should be able and at all
times should be ready to giue touchinge the imployment of the said
money.
Concerninge w”, S' Edwin Sandys farther said that as he could not
but highly comend the gentleman for this his worthie & most Chris-
tian Act, So he had obserued so great inconvenience by his modestie
and eschewinge of shewe of vaine glorie by concealinge his name,
whereby they were deprived of the mutuall helpe and aduise w™
they might haue had by conference w'" him and whereby also he
might haue receaued more cleare satisfacton w” what integrity care
& industrie they had managed that buissines the successe whereof
must be submitted to the pleasure of God as it had bin comended to
his blessinge. [315]

Hee concluded that if the gentleman would either vouchsafe himselfe
te Sor§ send any of his frend¢ to conferr with the said Society they
would be glad to apply themselues to giue him all good satisfacéon
But for his owne pticuler indgement, he doubted that neither of the
bwo courses pticularised in this last letter, nowe read in Court would
attaine the effect so much desired: ffor to send for them into Eng-
land and to haue them educated here, he feared (vpon experience of
those brought by S™ Tho: Dale) might be farr from the Christian
worke intended, Againe to begin w” buildinge of a ffreeschoole for
them in Virginia he doubted (consideringe that none of the buildinges
there there intended had as yet prospered,) by reason that as yet
through their dotinge so much vpon Tobacco no such workmen could
be had but at intollerable rate, it might rather tend to the exhausting
of this sacred Treasure in some smale fabricke then to accomplish
such a foundaéon, as might satisfie mens expectaGons wherevpon he
wished againe some meetinge between the Gentlemen or his frende
and Southampton Society that all thinge beinge debated at full and
iudiciously se wayed some constant cours might be resolued on and
pursued for the pceeding in and pfectinge of this most pious worke
for w™ he praid the blessinge of God to be vpon the Author thereof;
And all the Companie said Amen.
In the middest of this narragon a stranger stept in presentinge 4
books fairely bound sent from a pson refusinge to be named who had
bestowed them vpon the Colledge in Virginia being from the same
man that gaue heretofore fower other great book€ the names of these
he nowe sent were these vizt a large Church Bible, the Comon prayer
booke, Vrsinus' Catichisme and a smale Bible richly imbroydered :
The Court desired the Messeng’ to returne the gent. that gaue them
their generall acknowledgm' of much respect and thanke due vnto
hin.
A lre also was presented from one that desired not as yet to be
named w™ 25" in gold to be imployed by waye of Addiéon vnto the
former contribucon toward¢ the buildinge of a ffree schoole in Vir-

to excuse some exceptions that were formerly taken thereat, but
Some others, the Auditors for 8’ Tho: Smith desired some time to

M' Copland the preacher hauinge three shares of land old Aauen-

592 RECORDS OF THE VIRGINIA COMPANY
Wherevpon the Court thought fitt the Comittee appointed to certifie
my Lo: Keeper touchinge this and some other his complaint€ should
let his lp: knowe that Mansell neuer acquainted the Auditors w
this his pretended Debt as he ought to haue donne, nor did he euer
Demand it before of the Companie and yet he alledgeth in his petigéon
the said Debt to be due to him aboue six yeares since in the time of
S' Tho: Smithes beinge Tier And further that beinge lately warned
to two seuerall Virginia Court€ to make his said Debt appeare to be
due vnto him, he had notwithstandinge contemptuously as it seemeth
refused to come.
And for somuch as it was nowe §likewise§$ reported vnto the Court
that he hath giuen out, he was a free Brother of this Company (w™
must either be by purchase of some shares of land or by fauot of the
Court vpon his Desert¢:) It was thought fitt he should be required to
make it appeare howe he came by his pretended freedome: And for
this cause the Court gaue order that he should bee pemptorily warned
to be present at the next Court. [31S]
And forsomuch as m’ Caninge challenged also much money to be due
to him vpon seuerall Account¢ he was likewise entreated by the said
Sumer Tlande Court to make his Debt appeare at the Praparatiue
Court held for Virginia or at the Quarter Court held this present
morninge but he came not at all The Auditors did also report that
m’‘ Caninge had bin often called vpon to bringe in his Accounte vnto
them to be audited but he neuer came, the Court hath therefore
ordered that he shalbe perremptorily warned to be present at the next
Court for Virginia to exhibite his Accounts.
The Aduenturers of the glasseworke desired that they might haue a
Patent prepared against the next Quarter Court conteyninge a graunt
of such land@ as shall become due vnto them aswell for transport of
psons as for the aduenture of their ioynt Stocke in that buissines w™
request the Court assented vnto.
M’* Barbo’ hauinge had his Accounteé touchinge the runinge Lotteries
examined and approued by the Auditors and lying here at sundrie
times in open Court to be seen whereat forsomuch as noe exception

his owne time to exhibite the same.
M’ Deputy likewise presented his Account to be audited whensoeuer

William Willis peticoninge for some consideraéon to be given him in
respect that part of the charge of transportinge men for the Com-
panies vse by Capt Lawne deceased remayneth yet vnsatisfied (as he
pretendeth) the Companie not knowing of any such arrearage to be
behinde vnpaide thought fitt to referr the examinacon hereof to the
Auditors before whome he is to make the said Debt appeare and to
produce his proufes who therevpon are to certifie the Court the equity
of his petiGon.
Anthony Bullocke and W™ Browne in their petigon complained that
one m* Robert Barker a member of this Companie hauinge bought of
S' Amias Preston deceased the one halfe of his Aduenture beinge 50"
doth doth nowe suppresse and deteyne these writings that should
manifest their right to the other halfe of the said Aduenture beinge
50" more w*" they purchased of the widdowe of the said 8’ Amias
Preston, clayminge thereby the whole Aduenture to himselfe Where-
vnto m’ Barker beinge present made aunsweare that [325] he had
lawfully purchased the said Aduenture w™ he would proue by those
writing€ he had to shewe, Wherevpon the Court willed him to pro-
duce his euidence against the next Court to cleare the question that
the Petigoners might haue no farther cause to complaine.
M* Copland moued that whereas it was ordered by the last Quarter
Court that an Vsher should be sent to Virginia with the first con-
veniency to instruct the Children in the free schoole there intended
to be erected, that for somuch as there was nowe a verie good Scholler
whome he well knewe and had good testimony for his sufficiency and
in|] learninge and good carriage who offered himselfe to goe for the
pformance of this seruice he therefore thought good to acquaint the
Court therewith and so leaue it to their better iudgement & consid-
eracon wherevpon the Court appointed a Comittee to treat with the
said Party. vizt

who are to ioyne herein with the rest of the Comittee and to meet
about it vpon Monday next in the morninge about eight at m* Dep-
uties and thereof to make report per.
Vpon readinge the order of the former Court touchinge Captaine
William Weldens vndue pformance of the trust reposed in him by the
Company in breach of the Contract made w™ them, he beinge nowe
present, moued, that forsomuch as he could not get the Comittee
(vnto whome this buissines was formerly referred) to meete nor could
staye any longer in Towne beinge to proceed vpon other voyadges
that this Court would therefore please to take this buissines into their
consideraéon and finally order it, & therevpon presented a writinge
vnto the Court w™ seemed to be framed in iustificacon of himselfe
and of what he had Donne offeringe to proue whatsoeuer he had therein
sett downe. [326] Wherevpon it beinge read and his reasons per-
ticulerly examined, it was found and so adiudged by the Court to be
verie false and scandalous in many thing€ as may appeare by the
Aunsweares made vnto each seuerall obiection w were these that
followe.’
To his first obiecéon touchinge a promise of a supplie of 50 men more
(the Springe ymeadiatly after his first settinge out) and that vpon the
same termes as those formerly sent w” him, w™ though it was not
expressed in his Contract yet he said it was promised by 8S’ Edwin
Sandys then Treasuror in his conference w” him. Itwas Denied and
signified by S' Edwin Sandys that he neuer made any such promise,
and that what he spake was but onely a Declaration of a purpose and
intent of fauo’ toward@ him for his better encouragement in that
Acéon in ease sufficient meanes came in and that he carried himselfe
well whereby to deserue it of the Companie.
To his second Obiecéon that he was promised 3 Shares of land to be
sett out for him, w" the Gouernor denyed to do in respect he had no
such order from the Companie, for somuch as they remembred no such
promise they referred him for this to his Contract w™ he beinge willed
to shewe said he had lost it.
1A letter of complaint from Weldon to Sir Edwin Sandys is referred to in List of Records, No. 166,
page 139, ante.

602 RECORDS OF THE VIRGINIA COMPANY
To the Third obiection that he was to serue the Companie but for 3
yeares it was euidently proued by his Contract vnder his hand and
Seale that he was to serue them for seauen yeares.
To the fourth obiecton that the CGempenie proporcon of victuall
allowed for his men for 12 moneths was not sufficient to mayntaine
them for 4 moneths and therevpon was forced to depart w 30 of them
to serue other Maisters, It was proued by the Invoices of that voyage
nowe produced and read that they had allowed for each man a pound
of meate a daye w™ was as much as vsually they graunt to any other:
And to part w" his men was imputed to his weakenes and much
offended the Company when they first heard of it and caused them to
[327] giue present order that they might forthwith be restored: And
it was further signified that if there had bin any iust cause of want of
prouision the Companie +he-Cempanie vpon the first notice could
easily haue furnished them.
To the fift that in stead of faire and fertill grounde ||w|| he was
promised, he was seated in the most barren places of the Country:
It was signified that the place appointed him was farr otherwise beinge
chosen out by 8S’ Thomas Dale himselfe and affirmed vnto them to be
the best and fruitfullest Soyle, and if he were elswhere seated then
he was appointed or had betaken himselfe to a worse place and after-
wards againe remoued by Captaine Mathews ||Mathews|| as he pre-
tended the fault was his owne and not the Companies nor had they
euer notice of it till nowe.
To the 6° Obiecéon that two gentlemen (whose passage he was to haue
free with liberty to goe and returne at their pleasure) were deteyned
in Virginia by the Gouernor 3 Monethes against their wills, & could
not be released but vpon vnreasonable condiGons It was denied that
evuor such liberty to goo and come at pleasure was granted either to
him, or those other two transported at the Companies charge who
therevpon went as Servant¢ there to remayne: And further that it
was giuen out he had taken money of one of those men for their
passage thither, notwithstandinge the Companie had freely giuen it
him.

To the 7° that in stead of Gouernor and Comaunder he was made a
Baylio and put to so meane and poore allowance as it would in short
time haue starued him: It was aunsweared that m* Thorpe was onely
appointed Deputy of the Colledge lande, and that it could not but
auppeare vito him by their Direcéons that the Deputies place and office
was no Diminuéon either to his title or allowance no more then the
Deputy of the Companies land was vnto the Captaines there, w*" was
nothinge at all.
To the 8°: that whereas he said that diuers of this Companie protested
that m* Deputy ffarrar did promise them they should enioye the prof-
fitt of their first yeares labo" w*out paying any thinge to the Colledge:
It was Denied by m* Deputy that euer he made any such promise it
beinge contrary to the Contract made with him vnder their hand@, as
also contrary to the report [828] of S' Geo: Yeardley the Gouernor
and m’ Thorpes Letters (w were nowe produced and openly read in
Court) who affirmed that Capt: Welden did testifie it vnto them; But
to salue this Capt: Welden saith that the Gouernor hath taken order
that the Tenant¢ should haue the fruit@ of their labo’ for that first
yeare, but vntill the Companies pleasure were knowne, and in case
the Companie should Demaund it they should make it good out of
their next Croppe.
Lastly he said that forsomuch as all that 900 waight of Tobacco he
brought home vpon his owne Account (except C waight of m* Bucks
for w” he is to send him returnes) he bought with that apparrell
lynnen beddinge brasse and houshold stuffe of good value he carried
with him & sold there at reasonable rat€ as also in comissera@on &
recompense of his paines and trouble in their seruice that therefore
the Companie would please to remitt him the 44" staid vpon his
Tobaceo by av former order of Court (whereof 40 marke was giuen him
to furnish him out and the rest allowed him for the passage of him-
selfe and two men) Wherevpon Captaine Welden beinge willed to
withdrawe himselfe the Court tooke the premisses into their consid -
eracon and obseruinge duely what the Gouerno’ had writt concern -
inge him, signifyinge he had given no ||good|| Account of his place

Whereas it was moued that Henry Mansell hath by his Petition to my
Lo: Keeper declared that this Comp* were indebted vnto him in 60"
aboue these 6 yeares in S' Thomas Smiths time and yet it did noe
waye appeare, and that m‘* Caninge pretended that this Comp* were
likewise indebted vnto him but for somuch as the said m‘ Caninge had
receaued divers Somes of money out of the Virginia Cash, others by
Subscription and Lottery bookes; It was therefore ordered that
against the next Court the said m* Caninge and Mansell should be
warned to bringe in their Account¢, and that Mansell should declare
vnto that Court whither he be free or not, because m* Woodall had
verified somuch vpon oath, as was then alledged.
Vpon the humble request of W™ Capps the Court ordered a Certificate
to be drawne vp by the Secré to testifie the good esteeme it had of him
aswell in the Colony in Virginia as of the Companie here, as may
appeare by the rewards of his good seruice vnto them, As also |lof||
what ability ||he|| is reported to be there in respect of y® great Supplies
he hath sent thither w* Certificate the Secretary is appointed to witt-
nesse in the name of the Companie. [3833]
Whereas the last Quarter Court thought fitt to enlarge the former
Comittee with an additon of some other gentlemen to examine the
Certificate of Captaine Martin presented at the said Court by one
Captaine Hazell and therevnto to frame some aunsweare for the better
informaéon of those Lord¢ (whose hand¢ he had procured vnto the said
Certificate) It was nowe moued that for somuch as the said Comittee
had not yet mett about it by reason of much other buissines as also
for that Capt Martin had excepted against and not spared to traduce
some of the said Comittee, notwithstandinge they proceeded with as
much respect and fauo’ toward¢€ him as in reason could be required
that therefore it would please the Court to take this buissines againe
into their ||owne|] hand¢ and Debate the same in the presence of this
generall Assembly.
Wherevpon the Court caused the said Certificate to be read w™ was
in the name of the Counsell and Company for Virginia here resident

being as well in iustificaton of Captaine Martins good Deserté as also
in approbaéon of his Patent nowe questioned by the Companie w™
Certificate beinge read they caused also his Patent to be deliberately
read and examined and wall those exceptions w*" the former Comittee
had collected vpon it, By all was also by the Court book¢@ beinge
searched it plainely appeared that the Patent was neuer confirmed by
a Quarter Court but only had the approbaGon of a priuate Court pur-
posely called for that buissines only; It was therefore adiudged by
the whole Court to be absolutely voide in lawe and of no validity
Wherevpon after longe deliberacon it was aduised that for sauinge the
reputaéon of the Companie whome Capt: Martin had apparently
wronged, in vsinge of their names in the said Certificate as if they
went about now to Disavowe their owne Act or that some of the Com-
pany in a kinde of facéon or spleene toward¢ him did seme to crosse ~
the Act of the whole Companie and of his Ma™ Counsell for Virginia
in whose name the said Certificate was framed to the infinite wronge
of the whole body.
ffor auoydinge of w*" fowle asperéon and the ill construcéons that
might be made thereof, Herevpon it was agreed and ordered that a
convenient Declaraéon should be drawne vp consisting of these fower
heade. [334]
1. That whereas they are constrained and lymited by his Ma‘ Letters
Patents to fower great and generall Quarter Court¢ for passinge of all
Patent¢é of waight and Disposinge of land in Virginia That contrary
herevnto Captaine Martin presented both this ||this|| his Patents for
land and his other Patent for the Masterpp: of the ordinance ready
engrossed and w‘"out the preexaminaéon of a Comittee to the appro-
bacon of an inferio' Court w had no power to graunt any Patents
where notwithstandinge it passed by the power of Captaine Martins
frend@ to the Dishke of some then present and could neuer since that
time obtaine the confirmacon of a Quarter Court.
2. To Declare such exceptions against his said Patent as did espeacially
repugne aswell the Gouerment of the Colony in Virginia and the

authority of his Ma’ Letters Patents as also the standinge orders of
the Companie fundamentally deriued and grounded vpon the said
Letters Patents.
3. To Declare the ill effect@ w haue followed those his exhorbitant
priuiledges namely that herevpon Capt: Martin hath refused to submitt
himselfe to the lawes and orders of the Colony in Virginia and hath
made his Plantaéon a receptacle of disordered persons where such as
are indebted do shroud and rescue them selues vnder his protecéon
w" was also viua voce testified in open Court whereof the Gouern'’
and Counsell of State there haue often and verie much complained.
Lastly that the Companie haue and do still offer to graunt him a
newe Patent vpon surrender of his old, w as large and ample priui-
ledges as they may or can graunt by his Ma“ Letters Patente. [335]

to morrowe in the afternoone at m* Deputies about two of the Clocke,
if m’ Iermyn can then be present, but if not then to meet vpon fri-
day morninge at m* Iermyns Chamber in the Temple.
And it is further agreed and ordered that vpon the finishinge of the
said Declaration a Court be warned to pervse and examine the same
(and that Captaine Martin be then peremptorily warned to ||bel| pres-
ent,) and after they haue approued thereof they thinke fitt that diuers
Coppies be made of the said Declaration to present vnto the Lorde

RECORDS OF THE VIRGINIA COMPANY
matters of greatest waight and pticularly for disposinge of the land in Virginia
|and|| as beinge a fundamtall Lawe was notoriously knowne to all the
Company & for further caution hath bine from time to time accordingly
Declared to the Planters as an Ordinance from his Ma: to be invyolably
observed,
Contraric here vnto ther was plsented att a pryvate inferio” Courte 2 scuerall
Patents ready engrossed (y® Comp*: not beinge afore acquainted w™ them) the
one Constitutinge the said Cap' Martin M’ of the Ordnance the other conteyn-
ingea Graunt of Land ynto him his heir¢ executo™ and assignes, By w pryvate
Courte called extraordinarilie and as by y° effect appeared for y* onely buisi-
ness the said Patent was vnlawfully and vnduly passed notw™standinge y°
dislike of divers then plsent but yett neuer had y® Confirmaéon of a Quarter
Courte.
Secondly the said Patent for Land doth conteyne an intended graunt of divers
exorbatant pryveledges and transcendent liberties to Cap* Martin apparantlie
repugnant to iustice and the good Gouerment of the generall Graeat Plan-
taton w*" the Comp*: by his Ma"** Tres Patents to them could not graunt as
namely the exemption of |alll| the people within his Lands from y® Gouerm'
of the Gouerno’ and Counsell in Virginia and from all other services of the
whole Colony there (except in case of Warr) and allso a graunt of vnlymited
ffishinge, And allso y® ffifte pt of all rich Mynes, And to enioy all other Mynes
found by him his heire or assignes and of Common Martes to be erected att his
pleasure & many other # generall indefinite liberties as appeareth in the said
Patent; By collour of w™ exorbitant Patent many great inconvenyencies have
followed to y’ Company & Colony. as in pticularr Cap‘ Martin€ refusall to
submitt himselfe to ye Lawes and orders |jof the Colony|| in Virginia.
And y* his Plantaton is made a Receptacle & Harbo' of disordered psonns who
subterfuge thither from ordinary Iustice, All w* & many other mischeefe
have been often Complayned of by y® Colony att their pticularr and generall
Assemblies and by y® Gouerno™ there and most greivously by Cap‘ Argall
himselfe then Gouerno" by his letter to the Company, notwithstanding his
owne subscrip@on to Cap‘: Martins suide Certilicate in approbacon of the said
Patent vppon w"" Tre an order was made ina great and generall Quarter Court
in May 1618, and a Comittee appoynted to examine and reforme y° said Patent
there being plsent att y' Court S* Thomas Smith and m* Alderman Iohnson
then Trer and Deputy to this Company so y‘ itt seemeth strange to y° Comp":
to finde their hand@ allso to Cap*: Marting Certificate contradicting the Act of
y’ great Courte wherin themselvs were y° principall directo™: Moreouer y®
said inconveniencies have been lately testified Viua Voce before y° Company

Virginia Court booke might be brought to S*' Thomas Smiths for y°®
appointed Comissions to pervse those orders whereby Henry Mansell
pretendeth he was imployed: he was aduised by some of the Counsell
then present when that letter came to him to acquainte the Court first
therewith in respect the Companies books were comitted to his trust
& ought not to be pmitted to passe abroad w“ out y°® priuity and allow-
ance of a Court wherevpon havinge yesterday signified so much by
letter to m* Alderm: Iohnson he receaued another from him that night
shewinge some dista[ste] that the books were not sent, in respect
vpon the hearinge of Captai[ne] [342] Bargraues cause before my
Lo: Keeper the Court books were carried as farr as Westminister
touchinge w“ m’ Deputy said he let m* Alderman Iohnson knowe that
the books were then sent vpon my Lord Keepers comandment for that
the cause then in question did so require it the Court therevpon
takinge this matter into their consideraéon did well approue of what
m' Deputy had Donne holdinge it vnfitt the Records of the Companie
should passe abroad w“out license of a Court And touchinge m‘
Alderman Iohnsons request in the name of the rest of the Comis-
sioners, the Court are willing to giue waye therevnto and hath ordered
the Secretary to attend y® Comissioners with the said Court booke at
their next meetinge to be pervsed by them and after to bringe the
said-beoke ||same backel| againe, and for further caution hereafter it
is ordered that neither the Court book nor book of Account nor the
Kings Letters Patents to the Companie nor any other matter of Record
whatsoeuer shalbe deliuered to any except principall Officers of the
Companie without consent and lycense of the Court, and for that this
order may the more duely be obserued and kept, it is referred to the
former Comittee to consider thereof that it may be made a lawe.
fforsomuch as m* William Caninge hath bin often warned to bringe
in his Account in respect his pretended claime of much money due
vnto him from y® Companie and yet hath refused hitherto to present
them §It is therefore ordred he shall be once againe pemptorily
warned to bringe them in§ w“ intimaéon that if he faile hereof
between this and the next Virginia Court the Companie are resolued
otherwise to proceed against him in legall course to force him therevnto.
