Colonial Records of Virginia Part 15

_The Glase Howse._[Y]

Vincentio, Bernardo, Ould Sheppard, his sonn, Richard Tarborer.

Mrs. Bernardo.

[Y] _The Gla.s.s House._--We find frequent references to but no notice of the erection of this building. Smith, in his account of the attempt to murder him by the Dutchmen in 1608, says, "They sent Francis, their companion, disguised like a Salvage, to the Gla.s.se-house, a place in the woods neare a myle from Iames Toune," &c., Smith attempted to apprehend him, but he escaped, and after he had sent "20 shot after him; himself returning from the Gla.s.se House alone," when he encountered the king of the Paspa heigh whom he defeated and "led him prisoner to Iames Toune and put him in chaynes." Smith (1627) pp. 83, 84.

St.i.th says after the return of Newport from his expedition of discovery up James river "No sooner were they landed but the President (Smith) dispersed as many as were able, some to make Gla.s.s and others for Pitch," &c.; and in 1609, "And now the Colony pursued their business with alacrity and success. They made three or four lasts of Tar, Pitch, and Soap ashes and produced a trial of gla.s.s," &c., &c. And in 1621, speaking of the subscriptions opened in England, he says, "The third roll was for a gla.s.s furnace to make beads, which was the current coin in the Indian trade; and one Captaine Norton, with some Italian workmen, was sent over for that purpose." See also St.i.th, pp. 95, 97, 197, 198.

As the names of Vincentio and Benardo appear in the text, we may infer that some of the Italian workmen survived the ma.s.sacre of 1622.

_At Archur's Hoop._[Z]

Lieutenant Harris, Rowland Lottis, _uxor_ Lottis, John Elison, _uxor_ Elison, George Sanders, Thomas Corder, Joseph Johnson, George Pran, John Bottom, Thomas Farley, _uxor_ Farley, a child, Nicholas Shotton.

[Z] _Archur's Hoop._--Archer's Hope creek on Fry and Jefferson's map empties into James river but a short distance below Jamestown, and in the Particulars of Land in Virginia, referred to in note on page 37, Archer's Hope is named.

_At Hogg Island._[AA]

David Sanders, minister, John Utie, Mrs. Utie, John Utie, infant, 738 William Tyler, Elizabeth Tyler, Richard Whitby, William Ramshaw, Rice Watkins, Thomas Foskew, lost, Hener Elsword, Thomas Causey, George Union, Henry Woodward, Roger Webster, John Donston, Joseph Johnson, Richard Crocker, child, William Hitchc.o.c.ke, lost, George Prowse, Robert Parramore, John Jarvice, als. Glover, John Browne, William Burcher, John Burcher, John Fulwood, Thomas Bransby, Thomas Colly, Thomas Simpson, Thomas Powell, Nicholas Longe,

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

_At Martin's Hundred._[BB]

William Harwood, Samuell March, Hugh Hues, John Jackson, Thomas Ward, John Stevans, Humphrey Walden, Thomas Doughtie, John Hasley, Samwell Weaver, _vidua_ Jackson, _filia_ Jackson, Mrs. Taylor, Ann Windor, Elizabeth Bygrane, Mr. Lake, Mr. Burren, John Stone, Samwell Cultey, John h.e.l.line, _uxor_ h.e.l.line, A Frenchman _et uxor_, Thomas Siberg.

[BB] _Martin's Hundred._--Martin's Hundred is located On Fry and Jefferson's map between Hog island and Mulberry island, and on a small stream called Skies creek, on the north side of James river. In the proceedings of the a.s.sembly in 1619 it is referred to as Paspaheigh's, alias Martin's Hundred, see ante p. 30. In the "Particulars of Land in Virginia," before mentioned, we read, "Martin's Hundred, containing 80,000 acres, part planted." Captaine Martin was made president by Capt.

John Smith in 1609, but he did not desire the position and resigned. At the a.s.sembly in 1619, he and the privileges named in his patent, and certain charges against him of unfair dealing with the Indians occupied no little attention.--See ante, pp. 12 and 13. For further particulars in regard to his attempts at imposition on the Company and like charges, the reader is referred to St.i.th, pp. 219, 220, 221.

_At Warwick Squrake._[CC]

[CC] _Warwick Squrake._--It is difficult to decide upon either the spelling or the p.r.o.nunciation of this word. On Smith's map it is located on the south side of James river, and about fifteen or twenty miles below Jamestown, and is spelt Waraskorack, and on page 59 he spells it Waraskoyack; Fry and Jefferson locate it on Burwell's bay, and call it Warnicqueack. St.i.th calls it Warrasqueake, and gives an interesting account of "the King of that town," and his hospitable treatment of Capt. Smith on the night of the 29th of December, 1608: p. 85. In the "Particulars of Land," McDonald MS. above referred to, it is spelt as shown in the following extract: "Warosquoiacke Plantation conteyning downewardes from Hogg island, 14 miles by the ryver side," &c., &c., p.

313.

Hening has it Warrosquoiack, Vol. I., p. 149. In 1634 "the country divided into eight shires," and this being one of them. Hening there spells it Warrosquyoake. Vol. I., p. 224.

[DD] _Elizabeth Citty._--The settlement which was the foundation of the county still known by the same name. It includes the peninsula formed by the Chesapeake bay and James river. At the meeting of the Burgesses in 1629 it was represented as two districts or burroughs, viz; the upper parte and the lower parte, each having three delegates, and the text shows that of these Thomas Willobouy of the upper and Adam Thoroughgood of the lower part were living there in 1626.
