*Note: The sources for this chart are found in various types of Colonial papers such as; land patents, deeds, wills, court records, inventories, tithables, petitions, grievances, private correspondence, and treaties. The sections of the Acts of Assembly pertaining to Indian-non-Indian relations are included in the time-line in Chapter 10. Records are grouped by type, country and date. The counties are arranged alphabetically and in some instances records are summarized by categories of potential interest such as: Indian goods, tobacco, corn, Roanoke and peake, beaver and animal skins. References pertaining to Bacon's Rebellion, news events of the day and treaties are included by county. A list of primary and secondary references is included at the end of the chart. The "C.O." in the Public Record Office microfilms stands for "Colonial Office."

Hardships of Colony
|
|
|
The ship, Swallow, reported that the "Indians hold the English surrounded in the strong place which they had erected there, having killed the larger part of them." The others were left so completely w/o provisions that they believed it was impossible to escape since the survivors ate the dead." And "they also ate one native (died by fighting) by digging him up two days after burial." Almost all those came in this ship "had died from eating dogs, cat skins and other vile stuff " and the Indians had killed swine brought to Virginia. Unless given provisions soon, all of them will perish.

Four earthworks: first one is at the mouth of the river w/ stockades, posts, 7 pieces of artillery, 2 of 35 quintales & 30, 20 & 18 (all of iron), & 50 men, women and boys. Second one is 2/3 of a league from the first one while the third a musket shot — both have pieces of artillery for defense against the Indians. The fourth/main settlement is 20 leagues up the river from the first fort, w/ 16 pieces of artillery of __ iron and palisades like the others. There are no interaction w/ the Indians due to times of war & peace. Indians are dressed in deerskins, use bows & arrows and cultivate only maise & nuts. However, they do not bring metals like gold & silver.

Reported by a source that "some of the people who have gone there, think now some of them should marry the women of the savages of that country; and he tells me that there are already 40 or 50 thus married." Also reported that the other Englishmen, after being put among them, have become savages themselves while the women, whom they took out, also have gone among the savages where they have been received & treated well. A minister who admonished them was "seriously wounded in many places" because "he reprehended them."

Pocahontas' kidnapping & ransom

"They have taken a daughter of a king that was their greatest enemy, as she was going afeasting upon a river to visit certain friends, for whose ransom the father offers whatsoever is in his power, and to become their friend, and to bring them where they shall meet with gold mines. They propound unto him three conditions: to deliver all the English fugitives, to render all manner of arms or weapons of theirs that are come to his hands, and to give them 300 quarters of corne. The first two he performed readily, and promiseth the other at their harvest, if his daughter may be well used in the meantime."

Report about five fortifications, named Fort James, Fort Henry (after the prince who died), Fort Charles, Point Comfort and Fort Henry — all surrounded by earth works w/ artillery. Approximately 300 men are there & have nothing to eat other than bread of maize w/ fish and water to drink, contrary to the nature of the English. The Savages & other natives are in "bad relations" with the English, who cannot leave their fort w/o risking their lives; and if the General does go hunting, he takes a guard to protect his person.

1622 Massacre
|
|
|
More news from Virginia: "...ill news that the savages have by surprise slain about 350 of our people there one and other. It was by their own supine negligence, that lived as careless and securely there as if they had been in England, in scattered and straggling houses far asunder, whereby they were so easily subject to the surprise of those naked people, who besides other spoil and booty have possessed themselves of arms and weapons; but the best is they have no skill to use them. Among them that are lost is one Captain Barclay and Captain Thorpe, whme I was well acquainted withal and had been a pensioner." The letter also mentioned that the "disgrace and shame is as much as the loss, for no other nation would have been so grossly overtaken."

Trade for corn & Interpreter

Capt. Thomas Yong described in his long letter what he observed and heard in Virginia. There was a new fort at the mouth of the James and a "great trade for Indian Corne" between the settlers and the Indians. Captain Mathews is an interpreter and ancient planter. The country is abundant w/ milk, cheese, butter & corne. After the early Starving Time in the history of the colony, the colony now can spare 10,000 bu. of corn to New England for relief. The Palisade is nearly 6 miles long but males above age 14 are destitute regarding all manner of arms and ammunition. Rumors of war are circulating about the Indians "gathering heade" to take advantage to "fall on them."

Stated that the governor had usurped the power into his own hands; shut out every trade, including that of corn, by complying too far with the Marylanders, what w/ 2000 recent new arrivals into the colony; and that he "made a dangerous peace with the Indians." Contrary to the Council & country's advice, the governor took for his own use "the satisfaction made by the Indians" for the 500 hogs they had killed. If the Indians were to "offer any insult," the colonists would not be able to revenge themselves.

As surviving tenants of Martin's Hundred, they described their desperate conditions and dangers from the Indians. Milk from a cow, more servants, shoes costing less than 5 pounds and better arrangements for tobo. are needed. Mr. Harwood had taken 6 out of 7 pounds of their tobo. There is no powder or shot to "garde our lyves." One of them can only work the ground while the other served as a guard, "or ellse wee shall be in daunger to be killd of the Indyanse..." They have "worne out all our clothse and shertse" and cannot buy any, and now "will not in dure this kynd of liueing any longer. The letter was signed by "Your slause in Virgenyae."

1622 Massacre & terror of Indians

Once lived at Harryhatocke. When the "fear bred by the bluddy masaker heare was blown over" in early 1623, he was ordered by the Governor to go to Martins Hundred to strengthen the settlement. He and his wife got there the same day a woman servant was killed by the Indians and he was "assaulted by them shott wth a bullet in the leg." His wife risked her own life getting to the armed Mr. Harwood at his storehouse in the plantation, but he refused to open the door "out of too much feare and neclect." Although the Indians were ultimately driven away, he was busy constructing a "pale or pallisadoe about my house" and described the need for powder. His letter also referred to the poor management of Mr. Harwood as well as Mr. Carles' neglect regarding the protection of the plantation and its operations.

Complaints & trade
|
|
|
Complaint lodged agst. Capt. Martin for certain outrages which could endanger the Colony. Ensign Harrison affirmed to Thomas Davis of Paspaheighs, Gent. that he had been told under Martin's orders to take the shallop, that they would have made a "harde voiage," if they had not met w/ a canoe coming out of a creek. When the Indians refused to sell their corn, armed men entered their canoe and took the corn by force, measuring it w/ a basket they had into their shallop. They gave them "satisfaction" in "Copper, beades, and other trucking Stuffe." Opochancano made complaint to the Governor about this outrage. Concerned for the safety of the colony as well as the outrage being committed agst. the Indians, the Governor decreed that that Martin should have obtained "leave" to enter the bay to trade and ordered him to take "leave" and give good security to ensure that his men will not commit "no such outrage any more."

Assimilation of Indians
|
|
|
Desirable that the "better disposed" Indians learn to converse w/ our people, live & labor among them and convert to Christianity. Indians who voluntarily come to well-peopled places to do service such as killing of deer, fishing, beating corn and other helpful work, then five or six of them can be admitted to each place and no more w/ the Governor's consent. Although "many proove good," a guard should be kept at night since they generally "are the most trecherous people" who quickly disappear when "they have done a villainy." It is also thought fit to provide them a separate house for them to lodge in by themselves. No lone inhabitant is to "entertaine them." Lastly, each town, city, borough or plantation shall take in Indian children to learn Christianity and "civile course of life." The most "towardly boyes in witt & graces of nature" are to be brought up "in the firste Elements of litterature" and thus be fitted for college intended for them.

Complaint
|
|
|
Robert Poole, interpreter, vs. Henry Spelman: Spelman spoke "very unreverently & maliciously agst. the Governor" at Poole's meeting (& thus the Governor's honor, dignity, person and Colony be brought in contempt) and mischief by Indians thus might ensue. Spelman confessed to a few of the charges but denied the majority of the complaints. The only exception what that he had informed Opochancano that w/in a year, there will be a more powerful Gov. in a year, who shall replace this one. Since Opochancano and other Indians thus appeared to hold the Gov. in "much disesteem," the Colony may be in "danger of their Slippry designes." Instead of possibly putting Spelman to death according to a law, the General Assembly decided that Spelman was to be demoted from Captain and perform seven years service to the Indians as the Governor's interpreter.

At Christmas then following, the Indians of Chiquohomini complained of various abuses and derided our demands. They had agreed w/ Sir Thomas Dale to pay a yearly tribute-i.e., a bushel of corn for every bowman and in exchange, receive one piece of copper and one iron tomahawk. Each of the eight chiefs were to receive a suit of red cloth, "which clothes and truckinge stuffe" the English "esteemed of more worth then their corn." These abuses led Yardley to take a company of eighty-four men to revenge themselves "upoon those contemptous Indians." As a result, a "more firm league" was concluded and peace was possible for two years. Our people, including women & children, could move freely from town to town w/o arms and lodge in Indians' houses, where they were "every way kindly intreated and noe way molested."

1622 Massacre

Indians had shown themselves "insatiable and covetous" while "we" were "punished for our greedy desires of present gaine and profit." On March 22, 1622, as we entertained them "friendly" in "our houses," they suddenly took opportunities and "fell upon us, killing and murdering very many of our people." Houses and plantations were destroyed while other accomplishments in the Colony were seriously damaged. "This deadly stroake being given to the great amazement and ruine of our State," and led the Governor & Council to act at top speed to take the rest of the Colony towards safety from further reprisals of the Indians. Survivors were then held at fewer strongholds but the resulting harvest was "slender." We had hoped for relief by trading w/ the more "remote" Indians but supplies had miscarried enroute from England. The Indians instead were "our most treacherus ennemies, cunninglye circumeventing and cruellie murderinge such as were employed abroade to gett relief from them," and led to "great want and scarcity." The Governor & Council and others have since conducted revenge on the Indians, started to restore the Colony and now hope to "clean drive" the Indians "from these partes."

Defense

The best solution for the Colony's defense is to run "a pale from Martins hundred to Chiskiacke wch is not above sixe miles" along with "planting" on both rivers, the Pamunkey river being more defensible. However, the relationship between the Colony and the Indians are "irreconciliable." The nimble-heeled Indians take advantage of the forests and carry out sudden ambushes and incursions. While none of the Englishmen have been killed since the massacre, they could not have a "safe range of the Countrye" for cattle, game, etc. and have to keep constant watch agst. the Indians. To achieve their security, there is a need for a "runninge armye continually a foote" which would prevent Indians from coming near them and enable them to put the arrivals here for the winter w/ a year's supply of cattle and provisions.

During the time of Sir. Thomas Dale, Poole first lived w/ Apochankeno who showed him certain trees where certain bullets had been shot by the Indians who had been personally taught w/ "a small peternell" by Capt. John Smith. Sir Thomas Dale also gave unto Kissacomas (?) a snaphance. The powder & shot was given to him through Poole and Kissacomas (?) often shot fowl & deer. After Sir Thomas Dale's term, an Indian named Coos was taught to shoot w/ a "peece" by John Powell, a servant of Capt. Webb per Webb's "appointment." Another Indian, Chacrow, living w/ Lieut. Skarse, Capt. William Powell and Capt. William Pierce, learned to shoot w/ a "peece." Under Sir Samuel Argall's government, the Indians had killed 6 Englishmen and carried to Pamunkey their pieces & shot where they were used by Morassane and Nemetenew. Poole further testified that Sir George Yardley sent him to "steel a wye the feathers of the locks of those peeces" so that they would be dysfunctional and end up being brought by Apochankeno to him for mending. However, once received, these pieces were kept. Yardley forbade one Indian, employed to shoot by William Pery, to have a piece and had it taken away. Furthermore, he never gave pieces to any Indian.

Some Indians killed people in Md. & Va. "but we quickly destroyed most of those" while others fled to the mts. Frontiers strengthened so there is no fear of Indians, even if they were ten times stronger. The English, however, still hold too much land, which can't be undone because these are grants by the King. No immediate danger if we can obtain powder & ammunition now.

Trade should be open to them two or three times a year at appointed markets while clerks would record disposal of arms & ammunition. 3) Indian slaves, "taken in the late wars, should be disposed of to public profit," not to be left in hands of private individuals. These slaves were found to belong to the Queen of Pamunkey & other friendly nations, so according to the late peace, the slaves shall be restored to them.

March

Bacon marched towards York to pursue the Pamunkey Indians who lived near the English. They were suspected because of their familiarity w/ English customs, advantages of the country, and capable of doing damage. Bacon disregarded of fact that the Queen of Pamunkey & her people had never, at any time, betrayed or injured the English. Marched on path towards a main one, belied to lead to their camps but found nothing. A path led them to several Pamunkey cabins by a swamp. Ten Indians, who were employed by Bacon "to spy out the ground," were discovered by a "contrary party" of Indians whose firing gave the alarm to the English. Bacon and party killed one Indian woman & took one little Indian child. In another march, Bacon & party found another Indian path which led to the camp of Indian Nations and fell upon them. Most escaped except for two or three men and as many women. They took a half-starved young Nanjatico Indian woman.

During Bacon's march to York and raid upon the Pamunkeys, scouts warned the Queen of Pamunkey's of Bacon's approach. She fled, leaving behind all of her goods, Indian corn & vessels, and did all she could to avoid "giving offence to the English, whom she had ever reverenced." Commanded that her people not fire or shoot at the English if they came upon them; her nurse, a decoy, was killed by the English when they realized her ruse; and of her Indians were killed. Bacon attacked another Indian camp the next day, but Indians fled. Some were killed while others were taken prisoners (later sold by Bacon and Berkeley, except for 5 restored to the Queen of Pamunkey by Bacon's general, Ingram). Bacon's forces also took Indian mats, baskets, matchcote, parcels of Wampampeag & Roanoke in bags, skins, furs, linen and other English goods which the Queen valued, along w/ 3-4 horseloads of goods. The Queen of Pamunkey fled for her life; found the body of a Indian woman which so terrified her & continued her flight into the woods; was lost in the woods for 14 days; and nearly starved to death. She survived by eating a leg of terrapin found by a little boy who accompanied her. No necessity could "incline her to adhere to Bacon's overtures."

Written by Thomas Mathew approximately 30 years after what occurred in 1676-1677. He recalled what initiated the uprising. He discussed the massacre by the Doegs up north which triggered these events, including the killing of a son of an Indian king as well as the settlers. [Note: He did not mention his own possible role, which might have led to the killing of his own son.] Mathew discussed the characters of Brent, Mason, Laurence, Drummond, the Governor and Bacon as well as their activities in great detail as well as the Indian fort near the Potomac River. He concluded this lengthy missive with the observation that Bacon was "too young, too much a stranger there, and of a disposition too precipitate, to manage things..."

Complaints & rights and spouse Tatapatamoi
|
|
|
Mathew observed the appearance and bearing of the Queen of Pamunkey and that of her son, John West. She was a descendant of "Oppechankenough, a former Emperor of Virginia." On her right hand, there was an English interpreter and on her left, her son, aged about 20 years of age. Around her head, she wore a "plat of black and white wampam peaque three inches broad in imitation of a crown" and was dressed "in a mantle of dress't deerskins with the hair outwards and the edge cut round 6 inches deep which made strings resembling twisted fringe from the shoulders to the feet." She made "grave courtlike gestures" and possessed a "majestick air in her face." During the meeting, when the men requested her assistance for guides who would help in the wilderness and assist against "our enemy Indians," she only spoke with the interpreter. Mathew believed that she secretly understood English. Her son, who understood English, was reputed to be the son of an English Colonel. He also would not speak English but did refer all to his mother, according to the interpreter. She then gave an impassioned speech about her deceased husband: "Tatapatamoi Chepiack", i.e., Tatapamoi dead." Col. Hill shook his head and said it was true that Tatapatamoi had helped the English years before against enemy Indians but was killed with most of his men. To this day, no compensation was ever made, to the shame of the English. This was why the Queen of Pamunkey upbraided the English. Given no sign of appeasement, she showed her resentment "by a disdainfull aspect" and sat mute until she was asked a question for the third time. Still refusing to face the committee, she answered that she had 6, then 12, and then 150 men in her town. She then rose and "gravely walked away, as not pleased with her treatment."

Indian troubles
|
|
|
Contentions arise between the English and Indians due to the Articles of Peace. Although boundaries are set between them, the English still encroach and take up the Indian towns and lands, "turneing their Cattell and hoggs on them." If the latter is lost, the English then claim their losses and abuse the Indians, in spite of the Governor's endeavors to the contrary. Very few of the Indians have been converted to Christianity. Governor Berkeley was here for 34 years, and until the outbreak of Bacon's Rebellion, was the reason for the greatest time of peace for the English. Shortly after the attack by the Doegs & Susquehanoes, the Pamunkey offered their assistance agst. all "enemies" to the Governor. Bacon the Rebel saw that the Indian war would continue, and desirous of trade, built a house for that purpose. He requested the Governor to give him a license for only trade w/ the Indians. After being rejected by the Governor, he "soe terrified and thretned the pamunkey Indians that they fled for security." The Pamunkeys were "encompassed w/ trees which they had fallen in the branch of an Impassable swamp." After being located by Col. Claiborne's men, the Queen of Pamunkey stated the she and her people would be willing to return to her "Townes" and be under the Govenor's protection, but she did not understand why the Governor and his men could not protect themselves from Mr. Bacon's "violence." She promised that she and her Indians would continue peace w/o injury to the English or assistance to the Susquenoes. She and her people had been daily threatened to be "cutt off by Mr. Bacon" but they left in time. Bacon also killed more than 100 Ockinagee Indians 200 miles away due to his desire for the beaver trade by shooting them at their fort or blowing up 50 of them w/in their cabins- a fact which did not help matters. The Indians took advantage of the civil disorders and are committing murders daily among the settlers on their plantations. Some of the dead settlers had been roasted alive, etc. and their flesh brought to the English prisoners that they kept. Furthermore, Bacon's soldiers also had a rallying cry:"No Levies." Reminder given that the Governor had taken "ye great Indian Emperour Opechauchenough" prisoner "without loss of English blood" and created peace for years. Feared for the colony's future, since the "once hopeful Country" cannot long resist the cruelty of the Indians or the vulgar people's rebellion.

Indian methods of fighting

Indian method of fighting: surprise — "so that their offensive war would but be a hunting of wolves'- once a week, once a year; they may burn a house or two during the night & be 40 miles away the next. The present Gov. managed w/ great success in a former war w/ fewer English, commander and fewer opposing Indians. Berkeley's method of sending small parties in July & August to burn the Indians' corn bordering their frontiers should be adopted; prevented men & houses from sudden attacks from Indians; joined two or three English families together w/ defenses around houses; and thus disabled the enemy to the point of requesting peace. Breach of unhappy peace occurred, which the English occasioned by their own fault.

Among list of complaints: They could not make distinction between friendly & unfriendly Indians, since the Indians "were of a colour" or "all deformed with paint of many colours." Furthermore, they had never been allowed to trade freely w/ the Indians to get to know them because the Gov. and the grandees monopolized all the trade. The soldiers themselves do not dare go out to relieve any in danger since they were hardly secure themselves; and they would rather be hung as rebels than be at the mercy of the "barbarous enemy" and "be murdered as they were."

Articles & gifts
|
|
|
Reference to articles made by King Charles II, the Council and the Indians w/o the King's Council. Shall send "four rich Coronets w/ Robes
Silver badges, and sevll other presents to four Indian Kings and Queens here so called." Council fears that the colonists will resent and object to such "marks of dignity" to "such mean persons." Shall wait concerning delivery of coronets until they hear further from King Charles II since the colony has often received "fatal returns" for "considerable presents" and thus always "the wrong way of manageing of those people." Indians see gifts to be effects of fear, not kindness. But the Queen of Pomunkey & others like her deserve these gifts.

In this trading voyage, as an employee of Mr. Thresurer in the penance Elizabeth , Poole gave 10 arms length of some beads for over a "Tubb of Corne he bought of ye Indyans," and 13 arms length of beads for another tub.
