Jamestown Virginia 1607

“Captain Warman 1607 in the “Queens Papers” “” st 1607 • Dudley Carleton to John Chamberlain Letter

“Arrival of Captain Newport from Virginia, he having left the adventurers in an island in the midst of a great river 120 miles in the land. Much commendation written of the air, soil, and commodities of the country. No silver nor gold. The adventurers cannot yet be at peace with the natives; but have fortified themselves and built a small town, which they call James Town, and date their letters from. Thinks it hath no graceful name; doubts not the Spaniards will say it comes too near Villiaco. Captain Warman, a special favourite of Sir Walter Copes, taken in the act of shipping himself for Spain, with intent, it is thought, to defeat "this Virginian attempt." A Dutchman writes in Latin from the new town, in Virginia,””

How did the Dutchman write from the new town, in Virginia and know about Captain Warman? Unless Captain Warman was at Jamestown Virginia.”

“Also contributing to the strife among the colonists was the realization that a certain amor unt of subversion was taking place. The Spanish govemment was learning a good deal about the Jamestown settlement from reports originating within the colony itself. Soon after the Susan Constant and the Godspeed arrived in England, one Captain Waiman (or Warman) was taken into custody for carrying coded messages from the Jamestown settlement addressed to Philip III of Spain.”

Captain George Warman Waiman Waymouth was awarded a pension

“highly placed gossip who liked to keep abreast of the news of the day by loitering in St. Paul's Cathedral. Carleton's subject was a ship captain named Waiman, a name sometimes given to Waymouth in contemporary records. Carleton observed that "one Captain Waiman[,] a special favourite of Sir Walter Copes[.] was taken the last week in a port in Kent[.] shipping himself to Spain with intent as is thought to have betrayed his friends and shown the Spaniards a means how to defeat this Virginia attempt." Given that Waymouth was awarded a pension by James I that October, hardly something a traitor would deserve, and that he continued to work as a shipwright and surveyor with the Royal Navy and later as a military engi-neer, it's very likely that something else entirely was going on. Historian David B. Quinn wondered if Waymouth was a double agent. If so, the arrest may have been staged to recall Waymouth from an assignment to expose Spanish spies in England in a way that would mislead the Spanish network. The Carleton letter, then, was part of the disinformation cam-paign, deliberately engaging Chamberlain's fondness for gossip in order to spread the story. But the earlier letter from Cope to Cecil is problematic, as Cope's concerns appear genuine and there was no obvious reason for him to engage in such disinformation with Cecil, unless Cope somehow had been left out of the loop by the chief spymaster. More likely-if anything in this strange episode could be called likely--was that Cope's letter to Cecil was also part of the disinformation game, intended for hostile eyes that might intercept and read it, or with whom Cecil might deliberately share it.”

“Dudley Carleton, in a letter to John Chamberlain dated 18th of August, 1607, writes "that Captain Newport has arrived without gold or silver, and that the adventurers, cumbered by the presence of the natives, had fortified themselves at a place called Jamestown, no graceful name, and doubts not the Spaniards will call it Villiaco. Cap- tain Warman, a special favorite of Sir Walter Copes, had been taken in the act of shipping for Spain with intent to defeat the Virginia attempt. A Dutchman writing ir Latin calls the town Jacobolis, but George Percy names it James Fort, which we like best of all because it comes near Chelmsford."

“The first reference to what may be the Discovery of Jamestown fame is dated 1602. At that time, the East India Company sent out two small vessels, the Discovery under Captain George Waymouth and the Godspeed under Captain John Drew. Their orders were to find a northwest passage to China. It was a nonproductive trip with Waymouth blaming the failure on a mutiny by the crew in the latter part of July. The ship returned to Dartmouth on August 5, 1602. The ships' names, along with their descriptions as small ships, could well make them the two smaller Jamestown ships”
