[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 Assembly 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 Assembly 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 Stith, pp. 219, 220, 221.

[CC] _Warwick Squrake._--It is difficult to decide upon either the
spelling or the pronunciation 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. Stith 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.
