Subject: [VA-HIST] Virginia Immigrants Talk
The next program in the Virginia Heritage Resource Center's Mining the
Treasure House lecture series will be held at noon on Tuesday, 16
October 2007 in the conference rooms adjacent to the lobby of the
Library of Virginia at 800 East Broad Street in downtown Richmond.
Researcher and writer Martha McCartney of Williamsburg will discuss and
sign Virginia Immigrants & Adventurers, 1607-1635: A Biographical
Directory, her well-documented account of more than 5,000 of Virginia's
earliest English settlers-the ordinary men, women, and children whose
efforts enabled America's first permanent English colony to become
viable. Through primary sources McCartney will relate the basics about
many of these original colonists: their origins, the names of the ships
they sailed on, the names of the "hundreds" and "plantations" they
inhabited, the names of their spouses and children, their occupations
and their positions in the colony, their relationships with fellow
colonists and Indian neighbors, their living conditions as far as can be
ascertained from documentary sources, their ownership of land, the dates
and circumstances of their death, and a host of fascinating, sometimes
incidental details about their personal lives.
There is free underground parking for Library patrons but please note
that space is limited. For more information on this and other programs
