Excerpt from The Earliest Contest in America on Charter-Rights, Begun A. D. 1619, in Virginia Legislature: With Documents Now First Printed
Captain John Smith, of the council, in October, 1609, sent to England to answer for some misdemeanors; Ratcliff, not long after, was killed by the Indians, and then John Martin was the only one of the first council left in Virginia.
The London Company received, in 1609, an enlarged charter, by which the mode Of governing the Virginia colony was modified, and Lord Delaware was chosen governor general. He arrived in June, 1610, at Jamestown, and appointed Captain John Martin master of the iron works; but he did not secure the respect of the governor.
