Jamestown, Virginia, arose as the first permanent English settlement in the New World, largely thanks to the strength and resilience of the Jamestown colony brides. The initial group of settlers, all male, arrived and built James Fort in 1607, a private, corporate adventure. Much opportunity, along with much risk, lay waiting in the New World. But within a year, the men already complained about the lack of female company. To satisfy the colonial men, the Virginia Company sent over the bride ships of 1619, enticing the women with hopes for a better life while satiating the men's demands

I have a lot of first settlers in all the colonies. Jamestown is home to a large portion of my first settlers and did include several Indigenous mixed marriages, one in particular is extremely well known worldwide. There are a lot of unknown women from this time period that have little to no records and its sad to know their stories are lost to history.

Proven, no land can be settled without having the other so I have no idea why women were so disrespected in history if men desperately wanted them. Though I dont know why they didnt just satisfy their needs their self. The logic will just never be there but at least we are smarter now

One of my ancestors came to Jamestown in 1620 at the age of 14. It seems he was an indentured servant, picked up off the streets of London. He not only survived those Indian attacks, but he acquired about 400 acres I think from recruiting other colonists. He lived to about age 90.

Don't do it women. The Wive's Union is non-existent, and the boss is a mother-effer.
Stay home, don't breed with those guys,
and prevent the current patriarchy that rules America.

The bides must have been in their teens. You were a senior citizen at 35 and dead before 40.
I'm sure it was made to sound awesome; like how Greenland was touted.

This was interesting to learn. When my English ancestors settled in colonial America, they were further north in Massachusetts, Connecticut, and Maine.

If I was young and single in that era, I would have volunteered to go (and my parents would likely be happy for me to become someone else's problem.

decimated two thirds
so which is it? A reduction by 10% or two thirds? Those 3 words should not be used together in the context used

Cracking up at the photos of women with perfect hair and skin vs the paintings and drawings of women they clearly dont look the same HA!
reply

I thought the first time a ship of women sent over were murdered & eaten because the men at Jamestown couldnt grow anything
