Matter of historical interest will be found in other of the documents of this boundary contest: Document 40, Jan. 9, 1860; Senate Document, Report of Commissioners, Jan. 17, 1872, with eleven maps, including Smith’s; Final Report, 1874; Senate Document No. 21, being reprints in 1874 of Reports of Jan. 9, 1860, and March 9, 1861; House Document No. 6, Communication of the Governor, Jan. 9, 1877. There were also publications by the State of Maryland relating to the contest.[303] In 1874 there was published, as a State Senate Document, _Colonial Records of Virginia_, quarto, which contains the proceedings of the first Assembly, convened in 1619 at Jamestown,[304] with other early papers, and an Introduction and Notes by the late Hon. Thomas H. Wynne. Attention was first called in America to these proceedings by Conway Robinson, Esq. (who had inspected the original manuscript in the State-Paper Office, London), in a Report made as chairman of its Executive Committee, at an annual meeting of the Virginia Historical Society, held at Richmond, Dec. 15, 1853, and published in the _Virginia Historical Reporter_, i. 7. They were first published in the _Collections_ of the New York Historical Society, 1857, with an Introduction by George Bancroft.[305] Abstracts from the English State-Paper Office have been furnished the State Library of Virginia by W. Noël Sainsbury, to Dec. 30, 1730. There are various papers on the _personnel_ of the colony in the lists of passengers for Virginia of 1635, which Mr. H. G. Somerby printed in the _N. E. Hist. and Geneal. Reg._ ii. 111, 211, 268; iii. 184, 388; iv. 61, 189, 261; v. 61, 343; and xv. 142; and in the collection of such documents, mostly before published, which are conveniently grouped in Hotten’s _Original Lists_ (1600-1700), London, 1874 and 1881; and in S. G. Drake’s _Researches among the British Archives_, 1860. The Virginia Company published three lists of the venturers and emigrants in 1619, and in 1620 a similar enumeration in a _Declaration of the State of the Colonie_.[306] This was dated June 24; another brief _Declaration_ bears date Sept. 20, 1620. A list of ships arriving in Jamestown 1607-1624 is given by Neill in the _N. E. Hist. and Geneal. Reg._, 1876, p. 415. Neill has published various studies of the census of 1624 in the _N. E. Hist. and Geneal. Reg._ for 1877, pp. 147, 265, 393.[307] The most trustworthy source of information as to those who became permanent planters and founders of families is afforded by the Virginia records of land patents, which are continuous from 1620, and are no less valuable for topographical than for genealogical reference.[308]
