"A Little Parliament, The Virginia General Assembly in the Seventeenth

the House of Burgesses, 1619-1658, p. 59 and 93] says the following:

He was much more fortunate than most who took part in this rebellion which
was called by Bancroft the "Harbinger of American Nationality". Many were
committed to prison and were condemned of all or most of their property,

that they be heard. This manuscript signed by: Wilber Elam, John Pleasants,
Solomon Knibbe, and Will Hatcher. This was reported in "The History of
HenricoCo, VA".
