As touching the instruction[207] of drawing some of the better disposed of the Indians to converse w^{th} our people & to live and labour amongst[208] them, the Assembly who knowe[209] well their dispositions thinke it fitte to enjoine,[210] least to counsell those of the Colony, neither utterly to rejecte them nor yet to drawe them to come in. But in case they will of themselves come voluntarily to places well peopled, there to doe service in killing of Deere, fishing, beatting of Corne and other workes, that then five or six may be admitted into every such place, and no more, and that w^{th} the consente[211] of the Governour. Provided that good[212] guarde[213] in the night be kept upon them, for generally (though some amongst many may proove[214] good) they are a most trecherous people and quickly gone when they have done a villany. And it were fitt[215] a housewe builte for them to lodge in aparte[216] by themselves, and lone inhabitants by no meanes[217] to entertaine them.

Upon the 26[267] of October, 1618, it was ordered that the Magazin[268] should continue during[269] the terme formerly prefixed, and that certaine[270] abuses now complained of should be reformed, and that for preventing of all Impositions save the allowance of 25 in the hundred proffitt, the Governo^r[271] shall have an invoice as well as the Cape Marchant, that if any abuse in the sale of the[272] goods be offered, wee,[273] upon Intelligence and due examination thereof, shall see it correctede. And for the incouragement[274] of particular hundreds, as Smythe's hundred, Martin's hundred, Lawnes' hundred, and the like, it is agreed that what comodities are reaped upon anie of these General[275] Colonies, it shalbe lawefull for them to returne the same to their owne adventurers.

And it was moreover ordered that if the lady la warre, the Lady Dale, Captain Bargrave and the rest, would unite themselves into a settled[279] Colony they might be capable of the same priviledges that are graunted to any of the foresaid hundreds.

Provided, in the third place, that if any other besides the Magazin[282] have at any time any necessary comodity w^{ch} the Magazine doth wante, it shall and may be lawfull for any of the Colony to buye[283] the said necessary comodity of the said party, but upon the termes of the Magazin[284] viz: allowing no more gaine then 25 in the hundred, and that with the leave of the Governour. Provided lastely,[285] that it may be lawfull[286] for the Govern^r[287] to give leave to any Mariner, or any other person, that shall have any suche necessary comodity wanting to the Magazin[288] to carrie home for England so muche[289] Tobacco or other naturall comodities of the Country[290] as his Customers shall pay him for the said necessary comodity or comodities. And to the ende we may not only persuade and incite men, but inforce them also thoroughly and loyally to aire their Tobacco before they bring it to the Magazine,[291] be it enacted, and by these presents we doe enacte, that if upon the Judgement of power sufficient even of any incorporation where the Magazine[292] shall reside, (having first taken their oaths to give true sentence, twoe whereof to be chosen by the Cape Marchant and twoe by the Incorporation,) any Tobacco whatsoever shall not proove[293] vendible at the second price, that it shall there imediately be burnt before the owner's face.

This done, Captaine[298] William Powell presented to the Assembly a petition to have justice against a lewde[299] and trecherous servante of his who by false accusation given up in writing to the Governo^r[300] sought not onely to gett[301] him deposed from his government of James citty and utterly (according to the Proclamation) to be degraded from the place and title of a Captaine, but to take his life from him also. And so out of the said Petition sprang this order following:

Captaine William Powell presented a Petition to the generall[302] Assembly against[303] one Thomas Garnett, a servant of his, not onely for extreame neglect of his business to the great loss[304] and prejudice of the said Captaine, and for openly and impudently abusing his house, in sight both of Master and Mistresse, through wantonnes[305] w^{th} a woman servant of theirs, a widdowe, but also for falsely accusing him to the Governo^r[306] both of Drunkenes &[307] Thefte, and besides for bringing all[308] his fellow servants to testifie[309] on his side, wherein they justly failled[310] him. It was thought fitt by the general assembly (the Governour himselfe[311] giving sentence), that he should stand[312] fower dayes with his eares nayled to the Pillory, viz: Wednesday, Aug. 4^{th}, and so likewise Thursday, fryday and Satturday[313] next following, and every of those fower dayes should be publiquely whipped. Now, as touching the neglecte of his worke, what satisfaction ought to be made to his M^r for that is referred to the Governour and Counsell of Estate.

Here ende the lawes.

All these lawes being thus concluded and consented to as aforesaide[413] Captaine Henry Spellman[414] was called to the barre to answere to certaine misdemeano^{rs} layde to his chardge by Robert Poole, interpretour, upon his oath (whose examination the Governo^r sente into England in the Prosperus), of w^{ch} accusations of Poole some he acknowledged for true, but the greattest[415] part he denyed. Whereupon the General[416] Assembly, having throughly heard and considered his speaches, did constitute this order following against him:

AUG. 4^{th}, 1619.

This day Captaine Henry Spelman[417] was convented before the General Assembly and was examined by a relation upon oath of one Robert Poole, Interpreter, what conference had passed between the said Spelman[418] and Opochancano at Poole's meeting with him in Opochancano's courte. Poole chardgeth him he spake very unreverently and maliciously against[419] this present Govern^r,[420] wherby the honour and dignity of his place and person, and so of the whole Colonie, might be brought into contempte, by w^{ch} meanes what mischiefs might ensue from the Indians by disturbance of the peace or otherwise, may easily be conjectured. Some thinges of this relation Spelman confessed, but the most parte he denyed, excepte onely one matter of importance, & that was that he hade informed Opochancano that w^{th}in a yeare there would come a Governo^r[421] greatter then[422] this that nowe is in place. By w^{ch} and by other reportes it seemeth he hath alienated the minde of Opochancano from this present Governour, and brought him in much disesteem, both w^{th} Opochancano[423] and the Indians, and the whole Colony in danger of their slippery designes.

[413] Aforesaid, Bancroft.

[421] Governour, McDonald, Bancroft.

[422] than, McDonald, Bancroft.

[423] Opochancanos, McDonald.

The general assembly upon Poole's testimony onely not willing to putt Spelman to the rigour and extremity of the lawe, w^{ch} might, perhaps both speedily and deservedly, have taken his life from him (upon the witness[424] of one whom he muche excepted against) were pleased, for the present, to censure him rather out of that his confession above written then[425] out of any other prooffe. Several and sharpe punishments were pronounced against[426] him by diverse of the Assembly, But in fine the whole course[427] by voices united did encline to the most favourable, w^{ch} was that for this misdemeanour[428] he should first be degraded of his title of Captaine,[429] at the head of the troupe, and should be condemned to performe seven yeares service to the Colony in the nature of Interpreter to the Governour.

[425] than, Bancroft.

[427] courte, McDonald, Bancroft. [428] misdemeanor, McDonald; misdemean^r, Bancroft.

[429] Capt., McDonald.

This sentence being read to Spelman he, as one that had in him more of the Savage then of the Christian, muttered certaine wordes to himselfe neither shewing any remorse for his offences, nor yet any thankfulness to the Assembly for theire sofavourable censure, w^{ch} he at one time or another (God's grace not wholly abandoning him) might w^{th} some one service have been able to have redeemed.[O]

[O] This paragraph appears only in the McDonald copy, and in that it has two rows of lines at right angles to each other and diagonally across it, as if to indicate that this portion of the record was considered as being improperly made or, perhaps, was not official.

This day also did the Inhabitants of Paspaheigh, alias Argall's towne, present a petition to the general assembly to give them an absolute dischardge from certaine bondes wherin they stand bound to Captain Samuell Argall for the paym^t of 600^G,[430] and to Captain William Powell, at Captaine Argall's appointment, for the paym^t of 50^G[431] more. To Captaine Argall for 15 skore acres of wooddy ground, called by the name of Argal's[432] towne or Paspaheigh; to Captaine Powell in respect of his paines in clearing the grounde and building the houses, for w^{ch} Captaine[433] Argal ought to have given him satisfaction. Nowe,[434] the general assembly being doubtful whether they have any power and authority to dischardge the said bondes, doe by these presents[435] (at the Instance of the said Inhabitants[436] of Paspaheighs, alias Martin's hundred people) become most humble sutours to the Tresurer, Counsell and Company in England that they wilbe[437] pleased to gett the said bondes for 600^G[438] to be cancelled; forasmuche as in their great comission they have expressly and by name appointed that place of Paspaheigh for parte of the Governo^r's[439] lande. And wheras Captain[440] William Powell is payde[441] his 50^G w^{ch} Captaine[442] Argall enjoined the saide Inhabitantes to presente him with, as parte[443] of the bargaine, the general assembly, at their intreaty, do become sutours on their behalfe, that Captaine Argall, by the Counsell & Company in England, may be compelled either to restore the said 50^G[444] from thence, or else that restitution therof be made here out of the goods of the said Captaine Argall.

The last acte of the Generall Assembly was a contribution to gratifie their officers, as followeth:[P]

[P] This paragraph is in the McDonald and Bancroft copies but not in De Jarnette's.

AUG. 4^{th}, 1619.

It is fully agreed at this generall[445] Assembly that in regarde of the great[446] paines and labour of the[447] Speaker of this Assembly (who not onely[448] first formed the same Assembly and to their great ease & expedition reduced all matters to be treatted of into a ready method, but also his indisposition notw^{th}standing wrote or dictated all orders and other expedients and is yet[449] to write severall bookes for all the Generall[450] Incorporations and plantations both of the great charter, and of all the lawes) and likewise in respecte of the dilligence of the Clerke and sergeant, officers thereto belonging. That every man and manservant of above 16 yeares of age shall pay into the handes and Custody of the Burgesses of every Incorporation and plantation one pound of the best Tobacco, to be distributed to the Speaker and likewise to the Clerke and sargeant of the Assembly, according to their degrees and rankes, the whole bulke whereof to be delivered into the Speaker's handes, to be divided accordingly. And in regarde[451] the Provost Marshall of James citty hath also given some attendance upon the said Generall Assembly, he is also to have a share out of the same. And this is to begin to be gathered the 24^{th} of February nexte.

[445] general, McDonald.

[446] greate, Bancroft.

[447] this, McDonald.

[448] only, McDonald.

[449] yett, Bancroft.

[450] severall, McDonald, Bancroft.

[451] regard to, McDonald; regard, Bancroft.

In conclusion, the whole Assembly comaunded[452] the Speaker (as nowe he doth) to present their humble excuse to the Treasurer[453] Counsell & Company in England for being constrained by the intemperature of the weather and the falling sick of diverse of the Burgesses to breake up so abruptly--before they had so much as putt their lawes to the ingrossing. This they wholly comited to[454] the fidelity of their speaker, who therin[455] (his conscience telles him) hath done the parte[456] of an honest man, otherwise he would be easily founde[457] out by the Burgesses themselves, who w^{th} all expedition are to have so many bookes of the same lawes as there be both Incorporations and Plantations in the Colony.

[452] comanded, McDonald, Bancroft.

[454] in, Bancroft.

[455] therein, McDonald.

[456] part, McDonald.

[457] woulde easily be found, McDonald; would easily be founde, Bancroft.

In the seconde place, the Assembly doth most humbly crave pardon that in so shorte[458] a space they could bring their matter to no[459] more perfection, being for the present enforced to sende home titles rather then lawes, Propositions rather then resolutions, Attemptes then Acchievements, hoping their courtesy will accepte our poore indevour, and their wisedome wilbe[460] ready to supporte the weaknes of this little flocke.

[458] short, McDonald.

[459] no, omitted by McDonald.

[460] will be, McDonald, Bancroft.

Thirdly, the General Assembly doth humbly beseech[461] the said Treasurer,[462] Counsell & Company, that albeit it belongeth to them onely to allowe or to abrogate any lawes w^{ch} we shall here make,[463] and that it is their right so to doe,[464] yet that it would please them not to take it in ill parte if these lawes w^{ch} we have nowe brought to light, do passe currant[465] & be of force till suche time as we[466] may knowe their farther pleasure out of Englande: for otherwise this people (who nowe at length have gotte[467] the raines[468] of former servitude into their owne swindge) would in shorte time growe so insolent, as they would shake off all government, and there would be no living among them.

[461] beseeche, McDonald.

[462] Tresurer, McDonald.

[464] righte soe to do, McDonald; right so to doe, Bancroft.

[465] current, Bancroft.

[466] wee, McDonald.

[467] gott, McDonald; got, Bancroft.

[468] reines, McDonald; raines, Bancroft.

Their last humble suite is,[469] that the said Counsell & Company would be pleased, so soon as they shall finde[470] it convenient, to make good their promise sett downe[471] at the conclusion of their comission for establishing the Counsel[472] of Estate & the General[473] Assembly, namely, that they will give us power to allowe or disallowe of their orders of Courte, as his Ma^{ty}[474] hath given them power to allowe or to reject[475] our lawes.

[469] suit, McDonald.

[472] Counsell, McDonald, Bancroft.

[473] Generall, McDonald.

[474] Majesty, McDonald; Ma^{ty}, Bancroft.

[475] rejecte, McDonald, Bancroft.

In sume Sir George Yeardley, the Governo^r[476] prorogued the said General[477] Assembly till the firste of Marche, which is to fall out this present yeare of 1619, and in the mean season dissolved the same.

OF THE

LIVINGE & THE DEAD IN VIRGINIA

February 16, 1623.

_EDITORS' NOTE._

The paper from which this document is printed is to be found in the first volume of the McDonald papers. It is such a census of the inhabitants of the colony as the historical student would like to see made out at several other periods of our colonial history. We can find no legal enactment requiring such a census to be taken, and no order to that effect, save in the Instructions to Governor Wyatt, dated 24th July, 1621, where, among other things, he is directed "To make a catalogue of the people in every plantation, and their conditions; and of deaths, marriages and christenings."--Hening, Vol. I., p. 115.

The entries are as brief as possible, no middle names are given, and foreigners are entered according to nationality, or not more than one name allowed them. Not the least curious is the small number of negroes. Rolfe states, "About the last of August (1619) came in a Dutch man of warre that sold us twenty Negors" (Smith, p. 126), and nearly five years after, when this census was taken, there were but twenty-two in the Colony.

[Q] _The Colledge Land._--In "1619 Sir Edwin Sandys moved and obtained that ten thousand acres of land should be laid off for the University at Henrico, a place formerly resolved on for that purpose. This was intended as well for the colledge for the education of the Indians as also to lay the foundation of a seminary of learning for the English."--Stith, London ed., p. 163.

"On the northerly side of James river, from the falls down to Henrico, containing ten miles in length, are the public lands reserved and laid out, whereof ten thousand are for the University lands, three thousand are for the company's lands, with other lands belonging to the College."--MS. in the McDonald paper, entitled "Particulars of Land in Virginia," which was made out in 1625 or '6, the communication of the Governor in which he informs their lordships that he sends it, being dated May 17, 1626. McDonald papers, Vol. I., pp. 295-307.

At the first meeting of the Burgesses (1619) the College had no representative, but at the meeting held Oct. 16, 1629, the Burgesses "For the plantations at the Colledge were Leftn't Thomas Osborne and Mathew Edlowe," whose names are in the text. See Hening, Vol. I., p. 138.

[R] _Neak of Land._--"There is another division of the country into necks of land, which are the boundaries of the Escheators, viz: the Northern Neck, between the Patowmeck and Rappahannock rivers.

"The neck between Rappahannock and York rivers, within which Pamunkey Neck is included.

"The neck between York and James rivers," &c., &c.--Beverly, Book IV., chap. ii.

This list being made up at James city this neck might be the one nearest to that place, and therefore the last one named by Beverly would be the one referred to; but inasmuch as in this MS. list it follows immediately after the College land, and in the list of Burgesses for 1629, occupies the same position, it is not improbable that it refers to the peninsula opposite Henrico, known on all the maps of the State as Farrar's island, and which has been made an island in reality by the completion of the canal begun by the United States army during the late civil war and afterwards finished by the engineer department of the same, under the direction of Col. W.P. Craighill. Hening reports Serit Sharpe a Burgess for this place in 1629, and Serjeant William Sharp is named in the text as living there in 1626.

[S] _West & Sherlow Hundred._--Sir Thomas Dale annexed to New Bermuda "many miles of champion and wood land ground in several hundreds, by the names of Nether Hundred, Shirley Hundred," &c.--Stith, p. 124-'5; Smith, General Historie, 1627, p. 111. Hening names Burgesses (1629) from Shirley Hundred island and Shirley Hundred maine, and among the latter is the name of John Harris, which appears in the text.--Heming Vol. I., p. 138.

The name of Shirley appears on the Fry and Jefferson map only at the place where the same is now located, opposite Bermuda Hundred, and well known as the residence of Hill Carter, Esq. A short distance below is an island not named on that map, but on modern maps as Eppes island, which we may presume was Shirley island. We do not find the name of West in the connection except in a paper entitled John Rolfe's relation to the State of Virginia, written in 1616, in which we learn that West and Shirley Hundred was about thirty-seven miles above James citie, which corresponds with the location above named.

We can find no clue to its location, but it is reasonable to suppose it was near Jordan's Point.

[W] _James Citie._--This birthplace of our State, eighty miles below Richmond, is now the property of a gentleman of New York city, who has the ground cultivated. During the war the soil was thrown up into fortifications, and pieces of armor, sword hilts, calthorps, gold, silver and copper coins were found. All that remains of the city is a portion of the brick tower which belonged to the church, and which attracts the attention of travellers on the river with an interest similar to that of Mount Vernon on the Potomac. Though visited by very few persons, yet the relic-hunters have removed all of the tombstones, and have attacked what remains of the church tower.
