Virginia -- History -- Colonial period, ca. 1600-1775 -- Sources
Stith 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 Glass 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 glass," &c., &c. And in 1621,
speaking of the subscriptions opened in England, he says, "The third
roll was for a glass 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 Stith, 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 massacre of 1622.

[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.
