Children of JOHN GOSNOLD and KATHERINE KEBELL are:

3. i. ROBERT GOSNOLD I THE³ ELDER, b. Abt. 1500, Otley; d. 1572.

ii. EDMUND GOSNOLD, b. Coddenham; d. September 22, 1559, Coddenham.

Notes for EDMUND GOSNOLD:

The little town of Coddenham, six miles west of Otley, provides more than a little that is of interest to this story. Edmund, a brother of Robert Gosnold the elder, had settled there and acquired, together with his nephew, John Gosnold the Solicitor General, the Manor of Vesseys, otherwise called "the Priory or the 'Manor of Coddenham Vicarage'." Edmund's only son died young and Bartholomew's uncle John, while still very young, removed to Coddenham to take the place of the deceased son. Uncle John was a failure in life and the Manor passed to Edmund's son-in-law, Christopher Ungle, who in turn passed it on to his son, William. In 1580 William Ungle lost it somehow to another member of the family. These Ungles of Coddenham were, of course, cousins in the third or fourth degree of Bartholomew Gosnold. They are mentioned because it seems quite possible that the William Unger ["laborer"] whose name appears among the first lot of Jamestown colonists may in fact have been a William Ungle of Coddenham with his name mis-spelled.

The story about Bartholomew's uncle, John Gosnold of Coddenham, is this. In the days when "the public peace" seemed to require the extermination of Protestants by axe and flame, two young men from Coddenham were employed "in the palace." Somehow these two, presumably John Gosnold and one George Loosen, learned that a fellow servant, Thomas Spurdance, was a Protestant -- conceivably and indiscreet one. They told this to "Mr. Gosnal" -- probably Edmund -- in Coddenham, who seems to have reported it to the ecclesiastical authorities. Not too many years later an account of Spurdance's trial and execution by burning at the stake appeared in John Foxe's Book of Martyrs.

3. ROBERT GOSNOLD I THE³ ELDER (JOHN² GOSNOLD, JOHN¹) was born Abt. 1500 in Otley, and died 1572. He married (1) AGNES HILL, daughter of JOHN HILL. She was born Abt. 1500 in Campsey Ashe. He married (2) ANNE BACON.

Notes for ROBERT GOSNOLD I THE ELDER:

Son and heir.

"A most miserable and wretched sinner".

Acquired more land and manors. started to rebuild main hall.

During his long life as a patriarch of the family, Robert Gosnold the elder had shared in the prosperity of the era by acquiring numerous properties -- manors, farms, leased lands and meadows -- which provided the wealth of the Gosnolds. By then, in fact, Henry VIII, by despoiling the monasteries of their lands and making them available to the country gentry, had indirectly made the family all the richer.

Children of ROBERT ELDER and AGNES HILL are:

4. i. ROBERT GOSNOLD II THE⁴ YOUNGER, b. Abt. 1512, Ottley, Suffolk; d. 1559.

ii. JOHN GOSNOLD, MP, d. 1554; m. KATHERINE BLENNERHAYSETT.

Notes for JOHN GOSNOLD, MP:

Lord of the Manor at Shrubland and Coddenham.

MP for Ipswich 1547/1553.

Solicitor General 1552.

Against the succession of Lady Jane Grey; "Means were found to bring him over".

An eminent Member of Parliament in the reign of Edward VI, and Solicitor General for a term. In this capacity, John had had a hand in the plan to place Lady Jane Grey on the throne on the death of young King Edward. John died without leaving an heir, fortunately before Queen Mary had a chance to chop off his head for such disloyalty

Edmund, a brother of Robert Gosnold the elder, had settled there and acquired, together with his nephew, John Gosnold the Solicitor General, the Manor of Vesseys, otherwise called "the Priory or the 'Manor of Coddenham Vicarage'."

Notes for ROBERT GOSNOLD III:

Justice of the Peace for Suffolk.

Sold Rous Hall in Clopton to Thomas Rous 1600.

Succeeded to Otley Hall on the death of his grandfather in 1572. Completed rebuilding of the main hall and added West Wing and Gallery on the occassion of his marriage - See escutcheons painted on the walls of West Wing.

Robert became lord of Netherhall Manor on his grandfather's death in 1572, his father having predeceased him. He was then about forty, and in the midst of a distinguished career. But long before that, separate entries in the published records of the University of Cambridge reveal that Robert Gosnold and two "impubes" brothers [that is, they had not yet reached puberty], Anthony and John by name, were matriculated on the same day, Michaelmas, 1550, "sizars from Jesus [College]". The picture of Robert, probably aged sixteen, going up to the great University with his two little brothers tagging along is a charming one. (The term "sizars" meant that the three lads were granted an allowance expected to do some sort of service. This is not suprising, since they were three of thirteen children, and their father had not come into any inheritance from the still-flourishing Robert Gosnold the elder).

Robert was admitted to Gray's Inn to study law in 1553, and his brother Anthony followed him there a year later. Robert was still in London in 1559, for in that year he inherited from his father a bed "which he hath in London", the possession of a bed in those days being a prerogative of at least some wealth and to be mentioned formally in wills. About this time he married exceptionally well, taking as his wife Ursula Naunton, a granddaughter of the illustrious Sir Anthony Wingfield, Knight of the Garter, and his wife, Elizabeth Vere, sister of John Vere, fourteenth Earl of Oxford, upon whose death the title passed to a second cousin -- the father of the Vere who married Margery Golding.

In 1561 Robert was appointed a Justice of the Peace for Suffolk, an honorable appointment for the preservation of the peace in the county and the discharge of other magisterial functions. A portrait of him, dated about 1610, portrays him as an elderly gentleman -- he was perhaps seventy-five -- of commanding character and proud mien. His influence on his great nephew was, we may assume, very great.

Robert Gosnold III died in 1615, outliving most of his sons and nephews, including his heir, Robert (IV), and that gentleman's nephews, Bartholomew and Anthony, who had died in Virginia. Of his two surviving sons, he seems to have preferred the elder, Anthony "of Swilland", so called to distinguish him from the other Anthonys who surrounded the old man. Another Anthony, son of Robert (IV) and the youngest of the Anthonys, had gone to Virginia with Bartholomew and was still there when Robert II died in 1615, and Robert's grief at the loss of Bartholomew and the other Anthony (his brother) is reflected in the injunction that grandson Anthony was to have one hundred pounds provided he returned from Virginia within a year. Nevertheless, Anthony refused to desert his post -- apparently that of someone's employee -- for at least six years longer.

Robert Gosnold's will was dated Aug.15, 1615, proved Nov. 1, 1615 (Will Rudd101). It reads in parts as follows:

"Robert Gosnold of Earleshall, County Suffolk, Esq. To be buried at Otley near my wife. To Elizabeth Keene, my daughter the wife of Thomas Keene, 8 pounds a year. To my son Antony Gosnold my house in Swillon called Eales. To my son Thomas Gosnold 200 pounds....To Henry Keene my grandchild, 20 pounds... " Executors; son Anthony and Mr. Francis Cornwallis of Earleshall.

Will: November 1, 1615

Notes for URSULA NAUNTON:

Ursula Gosnold, was a granddaughter of Sir Anthony's and so a cousin to all of the near and distant neighbors belonging to that family.

Aunt Ursula supplies a splendid example of how far family ties could be recognized in Bartholomew's day, a family-feeling difficult to realize in the present day. Ursula was the daughter of Elizabeth Wingfield, five generations down from the first (Mowbray) Duke of Norfolk, and William Naunton. She was an aunt, therefore, not only of Bartholomew and a number of other Gosnolds, through her husband, but also of Naunton nieces and nephews, including the well-known Sir Robert Naunton, a politician who later became Secretary of State. Sir Robert's will, dated long after Bartholomew's death, mentions "cousin" Winifred Gosnold, who was actually no relation at all in a modern sense, but the widow of John Gosnold, son of Sir Robert's aunt Ursula and her husband, Robert (III) Gosnold -- a perspicuous illustration of the acceptance of marriage-relationships.

Children of ROBERT GOSNOLD and URSULA NAUNTON are:

8. i. ROBERT⁶ GOSNOLD IV, b. Bef. 1562; d. Aft. 1587.

9. ii. ANTHONY GOSNOLD, d. Abt. 1657.

iii. JOHN GOSNOLD, b. 1558; d. February 17, 1627/28; m. WINIFRED WINDSOR.

Notes for JOHN GOSNOLD:

Oxford University.

The Court: Gentleman Usher to Queen Elizabeth I and James I.

Groom of the Privy Chamber to Charles I.

Monument in Otley church.

Probably the most useful of Bartholomew's cousins is John, third son of this uncle Robert (III). John was about three years older than Bartholomew, and presumably the two, along with their brothers, were educated together in the schoolroom of the manor at Otley. It is of course possible that this assumption, along with a resultant friendship between the two, is a mistaken on. Bartholomew may have considered John an insufferable sprig, fit only for a life of servitude at court, and John may have thought of his younger cousin as a boorish fellow better off in foreign parts.

One likes to believe, however, that adolescent companionship and the bond of blood kinship made John Gosnold a friend at court in the days of Bartholomew's need. For John, as a Gentleman Usher in the last years of Elizabeth's and throughout Jame's reign, could have had many an opportunity to put in a good word for Bartholomew and his colonization schemes with the gentlemen and nobles in the royal antechambers. Then, too, John's wife, Winifred Windsor, was a lady of unquestioned distinction -- her mother was a third cousin of Queen Elizabeth and of James V of Scotland, King James's grandfather. Mistress Gosnold, as well as her husband, could and may have done much for Bartholomew's causes.

When we remember that John Gosnold died merely an "esquire" and his wife merely an esquire's wife it is worth stopping to observe the magniloquence with which John's widow described his station in life and her own ancient lineage. For on the monument she erected to his memory in the church at Otley, she gave nearly as much space to her own descent as she did to the virtues of her late husband. This is the only Gosnold monument which escaped the ravages of Puritans when they went through the chruches, destroying every effigy or memorial with "popish" wording in its inscription. So, with honor to John Gosnold and in deference to his widow's wish that all be known, it is printed in full:

Here resteth interred the body of John Gosnold Esqr. 3d sonne of Robert Gosnold of Otley Esqr. and Ursula his Wife, borne of the right antient and worthy families of Naunton and Wingfield of Letheringham. He spent his tender years in good studies at Oxford and his talents were not hidden, his riper years he spent in Court where he served in the place of Gentleman Usher in ordinary the Maies of Q. Elizabeth and K. James 26 yeares and was after a gentleman of the privy chanber in ordinarie to K. Charles.

He married Winifred ye daughter of Walter Windsor Esqr. and son of William Lo: Windsor and of Margarett his Wife daughter of Sr. Geffery Poole Knight, sonne of Sr. Richard Poole Kt. and the Lady Margarett Countesse of Salisbury his Wife, daughter of the right noble Prince George Duke of Clarence Brother to K. Edward the fourth of England, etc.

He departed this Life the 17th of February Anno Dni 1628 aged 60 yeares, who had issue by his said Wife 5 Sonnes and 3 daughters, to whose memory his sadd Wife caused this inscription to be erected.

In accordance with the custom of the time, John Gosnold had paid for this office of Gentleman Usher the round sum of £500, which was advanced by his father, Robert Gosnold (III). John did not make enough out of the job to repay his father, but was forgiven the debt in the latter's will. Besides the cash payment there was of course influence brought to bear to secure the appointment. As no date is available for John's marriage to Winifred, it is a question whether he got the job because of his wife's influence, or whether he got his wife as the result of securing a court appontment. It is quite possible that the marriage was arranged by Lady Dorothy Stafford, a first cousin of Winifred Windsor's mother, and John's place at court was secured at the same time through Lady Stafford's influence. The time has come, therefore, to make an acquaintance with Lady Stafford.

Before proceeding to that pleasant task, however, it should be remarked that King James found John Gosnold a useful person to have around. Although there is little information about this for the first twenty years of James's reign, the surviving records show that on November 10, 1623, King James directed Attorney General Sir Thomas Coventry "to prepare a grant to Mr. Gosnold, the King's servant (and to another deserving gentleman) of the whole benefit of a concealed escheat." Mr. Gosnold, accordingly, was to share in an estate to which the King had title in the absence of legal heirs.

Notes for ANTHONY GOSNOLD:

Bartholomew's father, another Anthony and the brother of Robert III, is seen as closely associated with Robert in most of the documents that have been preserved. As a younger son, he of course had no share in the entailed manor and its dependencies. But his grandfather Robert Gosnold the elder had dealt generously with him in bequests of land. Indeed, both brothers, following the custom of the time, had much more likely studied law in order to manage their large estates than with any thought of becoming barristers. Both, however, seem to have practiced law in London for a few years, Anthony no doubt sharing his brother's chambers. Anthony probably returned to Suffolk about 1580, if not before, to take possession of the land willed him by his grandfather to be his in that year.

From Otley a highway today leads down the valley to Woodbridge, passing through Clopton about two miles from Otley and between Burgh and Grundisburgh a mile or so farther along. Through this valley from Otley to Grundisburgh flows a narrow stream called the Finn, which ultimately finds its way to the broad estuary of the River Deben a mile and a half below Woodbridge. Somewhere in this valley, within four or five miles of Otley, Anthony Gosnold had his chief holdings; he is known in the documents as Anthony Gosnold of Clopton and Grundisburgh. This region in the southeastern part of the County of Suffolk is said to have changed little in the last three centuries. It is described as a pleasant countryside, criss-crossed with many lanes. Its rolling hills and heath and small fields are given over entirely to agriculture. Woodbridge, three miles from Grundisburgh, served as its port for the shipment of grains and produce in small vessels to London.

Anthony Gosnold seems to have done nearly as well for himself by marriage as his brother Robert. About 1570 he took to himself as wife Dorothy Bacon, a granddaughter to Thomas Bacon of Hessett. Thomas Bacon was a cousin of Lord Keeper Sir Nicholas Bacon, but of what degree it has been impossible to determine. Thomas Bacon in his will of 1547 names Sir Nicholas Bacon his attorney and overseer of his will -- an appointment which usually implies a close relationship. An uncle of Dorothy Bacon (grand-uncle of her son Bartholomew) in 1559 likewise named, as overseer of his will, "Sir Nicholas Bacon, and the Right Honorable Lord Keeper of the Great Seal of England." It seems quite likely, therefore, that the sons of Sir Nicholas Bacon, well-known in history, were aware that a kinswoman of theirs had married Anthony Gosnold and borne a son Bartholomew.

As the sons of Anthony Gosnold approached maturity, the father seems to have gone about the business of establishing himself as a major landowner. In 1584 he bought from his friend Lionel Talmache some thirty acres of woodland, including timber trees, at a cost of 390 pounds. This was presumably to provide himself with lumber for the rebuilding or restoring of ancient manor houses. In 1589, there were prepared three elaborate surveys, one of the Manor of Burgh, on of the Manor of Cleves (described as partly in Grundisburgh and partly in Burgh), and one of the Manor of Grundisburgh Hall. No lord of the manor is named in these surveys, but other documents indicate that without any doubt Anthony Gosnold began at this time payments looking foward to the acquisition of these manors -- one of them Grundisburgh Hall, apparently in partnership with his cousin William York.

From several documents, too fragmentary to tell the whole story, it appears that Anthony and Bartholomew Gosnold in 1589 paid the sum of 320 pounds to certain parties who had a claim on the manors of Burgh and Cleves. The subsequent history of these manors is so obscure that it is difficult to tell much about them. No one knows precisely where they stood, how long they stood, or what specific areas they covered.

Unfortunately the transactions in the purchase of these manors got Anthony Gosnold into serious financial difficulties, involving his brother Robert as well, in the last decade of the century. One creditor who the Gosnolds thought had made a friendly loan without mention of interest became annoyed at the end of five years because he had received neither interest nor principal; he averred that Anthony had paid the amount over to his brother, but that it had gotten no father. On his creditor's insistence, Anthony was imprisoned in 1600 in the King's Bench Prison in Southwark "as a result of borrowing more money to pay the interest." Robert then petitiooned the Court of Chancery to have the whole case reviewed. Evidently there was something more to be said on the Gosnold side of it, but there information ends.

In the course of time, all difficulties -- financial and other wese -- seemed to be overcome. A Court Book of the Manor of Cleves beginning the Court General of "Anthony Gosnold, gentleman, lord of said manor", records a court held by him (for the settlement of differences between tenants, and between himself and the tenants) on April 11, 1608, followed by others held in his name by Lionel Edgar, steward, up to October 26, 1609. But from this record, we learn that Anthony Gosnold held his last court. It is an ill omen, for about this time Robert Gosnold appears briefly as lord of the manor at Grundisburgh. Within three years all of Anthoy Gosnold's manors had passed into the hands of the family named Clenche.

Anthony Gosnold had two sons. According to established custom, one of the manors, Cleves, presumably the largest, had been destined for the eldest son and heir, while Burgh Hall was for the younger. From scraps of information it is to be inferred that Anthony Gosnold dropped out of the scene in 1609, perhaps shortly after October 26. The cause may not be far to see, for within two weeks of that date a ship had arrived in London with news of the death of his second son in Virginia in January of that year. With his eldest son already dead, this snuffing out of the male line of his brach of the family may well have caused the death of septuagenarian Anthony himself, perhaps so suddenly that he made no will -- at least, none has been found.

Anthony Gosnold's other children, besides the two sons whose deaths belong to the story of Jamestown, Virginia, were all girls. With one exception, little is known of them. The exception is Bartholomew's sister Elizabeth Gosnold. Elizabeth married Thomas Tilney, of Shelly Hall, near Hadleigh, Suffolk. He was a descendant of the Tilney who was great-grandfather to Anne Boleyn; despite the remotness of the connection Queen Elizabeth had recognized it by makeing a lryal visitation to Shelly Hall in 1561. Her memory was a long one and doubtless she knew that Thomas Tilney was kinsman, although a distant one. His bride of the year 1599, born Elizabeth Gosnold, may possibly have been presented at Court.

ii. ANTHONY GOSNOLD, d. January 7, 1608/09, Jamestown, Virginia.

Notes for ANTHONY GOSNOLD:

Like his brother, Bartholomew, Anthony was an early colonist to Jamestown, Virginia. It is believed that he did not join the first colony ship, but rather arrived on one of the supply ships that landed in Jamestown in January and April of 1609.

In early 1608, Capt. John Smith, who was the President of the colony, had left the colony to attempt to trade for corn, leaving Jamestown in the hands of its three other councilmen - Matthew Scrivener, Capt. Peter Winne and Capt. Richard Waldo. For an unknown reason, ten men, including Scrivener, Winne and Anthony Gosnold, set out on a small boat to cross the James river to Hog Island, on 7 January 1608. A wind blew up and the skiff sank, drowning all on board.

Notes for ROBERT GOSNOLD, CAPTAIN:

An early recorder of the Suffolk scene makes this comment: "It was the observations of old men in Coddenham that lived till my time that since Gosnold and Loosen persecuted that martyr Thomas Spurdance (mentioned by Mr. Foxe) their families did never thrive. Loosen sold his whole estate by parcels to severall men, and died full of lice. Mr. Gosnold a great man in estate decayed by little and little and left a very small pittance to his children. His eldest sone Capt. [Robert] Gosnold (whose mother was sister to Mr. Andrew Tinnellmarsh [Kinwellmarsh]) was at one time Governor of Landguard fort [Suffolk] in the time of King Charles."

Our interest in this tale is because of Captain Robert, son of old John Gosnold and a first cousin of Bartholomew. Having no inheritance, Robert turned soldier in time to be involved in the Essex revolt and be thrown into the Marshalsea Prison in 1601. Then, shortly after the accession of King James, when Captain Robert should have progressed under the favor of the new monarch, he go into difficulties again -- difficulties of quite a different sort.

According to one of the papers in the case, Captain Gosnold was "a great commander in the Isle of Wright, in the King's pay." Several depositions about the affair were made by persons concerned with it, and were preserved among the state papers.. But as usual it is somewhat difficult to reconstruct the story from the published abstracts of these affidavits.

The most lucid runs as follows: "Ryche, his wife, and Captain Christopher Levens, being in company with Captain Gosnold, Mr. Bowyer Worsely, and others at Mr. Denyse's, the new book of statutes of the last parliment was called for and Gosnold made trifles of many of them, namely of that against conjurers and against the marriage of two wives. Gosnold also used the following speeches to Ryche's wife: 'He never before had heard any woman speak so well of the King as she had done;' -- the King is a good hunter and he kills bucks, but he is good to does, and he grows weak in the back, his date is almost out;' and 'His back is weak and he is going on his last half year'."

In another deposition, it appears that "Katheren Ryche did rise suddenly from the table saying, 'Marry, God bless the King, I hope he shall live amongst us these forty years,' after which she went discontented to her chamber."

The discounted lady seems to have been rather free with her kisses at this lively party, for her husband, Captain Barnabe Ryche, in still another deposition advances this argument: "She never saw Gosnold before that day or since; yet at divers times when she came out of her chamber to sit down, she entertained both Gosnold and Worsely with each of them a kiss. Heere was then no show of quarrel yet. Now afterward if, finding herself discountented with Gosnold for his traitorous demeanor towards the King, she denied him another kiss for a farewell, in her testimony thereof the worse because she had shown her dutiful affection to her prince?"

Mr. Denyse, the host of the gathering, is reported in one of these depositions as having expressed the opinion that Gosnold was a "counterfeit papist, and ill-affected to the King."

All this was of course serious indeed, and Gosnold was put behind bars, so to speak, for a while. Yet he suffered no permanent hurt, since there is record, five years later, of his appointment to an important military post, the first of several -- the normal promotions of a military officer enjoying the favor of King James. Nevertheless, the affair -- which lasted from September until at least December, 1604 and kept Gosnold under restraint until after July 1, 1606 -- must have geen embarrassing to his cousin Bartholomew, because that was precisely the year and a half or so when Bartholomew was seeking means of approach to the King, that there might be obtained from his Majesty a charter for a company to settle in what is today called Virginia.

12. BARTHOLOMEW⁶ GOSNOLD (ANTHONY⁵, ROBERT GOSNOLD II THE⁴ YOUNGER, ROBERT GOSNOLD I THE³ ELDER, JOHN² GOSNOLD, JOHN¹) was born 1571 in England, and died August 22, 1607 in Virginia. He married MARY GOLDING 1595 in Latton, near Epping, Essex, daughter of ROBERT GOLDING and MARTHA JUDDE.

Notes for BARTHOLOMEW GOSNOLD:

Bartholomew was an early explorer and settler of the "New World", and is credited with the naming of Cape Cod, in Massachusetts.

Bartholomew was trained as a lawyer, attending Cambridge University and studied law at Middle Temple where there is a record of him in 1592. This life did excite him, apparently, and he became entranced with the idea of exploring the New World. Bartholomew's first trip to the New World was an unsuccessful attempt to found a colony in Virginia, with Sir Walter Raleigh.

Upon his return to England, however, he began an effort to start a colony further north, in what later became known as New England. Funded by Sir Walter Raleigh and the Earl of Southampton, Bartholomew sailed from Falmouth on 26 March 1602 in command of the Concord. His group consisted only of the one ship and a total of twenty colonists and twelve sailors. The Concord sailed to the Azores, and from there took a direct westerly route, unusual for the time when it was more common to sail much further south. The ship made the crossing in about seven weeks, sighting land at Cape Elizabeth in Maine (lat 43 degrees). Bartholomew sailed south in search of a suitable settlement and anchored just east of York Harbour on 14 May 1602. The next day he sailed further south and discovered the promontory which he named Cape Cod, rather prosaically, after the large number of cod the caught in the area. Bartholomew and four others went ashore there, becoming the first Englishmen to set foot in New England.

Sailing south around the cape, they found "many fair islands", naming one that was abundant in grapes and other fruit Martha's Vineyard (after his daughter) and another Elizabeth's Island after the Queen. The colonists remained on the island for three weeks, building a fort, but became disillusioned by the hostility of the Indians and a scarcity of provisions, and numbering as few as twelve by some accounts, they abandoned the colony, stocked up the ship with cargo of "sassafras, cedar, furs, skins, and other commodities as were thought convenient" and returned to England, arriving in Exmouth on 23 July 1602.

Bartholomew still had the colonist spirit, however, and spent the next few years promoting a larger colonist expedition. In 1606, the Virginia Company was formed with funding from merchants both in London and the west of England. The London merchants, with Sir Thomas Smythe front and center, were tasked with a colony south of the Hudson, while the westerners were to colonize north of the Hudson (then known as Northern Virginia). A charter to settle Virginia was obtained from King James I on 10 April 1606, the affairs of the colony to be governed by a council whose names were sealed, to be opened only on arrival in Virginia, so as to preserve naval command during the voyage. Christopher Newport was in overall command of the three colony ships, while Bartholomew captained one of them, the God Speed, and was overall second-in-command. Other leaders of the expedition were Edward Maria Wingfield, Capt. John Smith, and Captain John Ratcliffe who commanded the third ship.

In all, one hundred and five settlers set sail on 19 December 1606. Of the ninety-three whose names are known, fifty-nine were listed as "gentlemen", which explains why the colony initially had difficulty getting any work done! The voyage took much longer than usual - a storm held them up just off the coast of Kent for nearly six weeks, and then they took the southern route, more familiar to Christopher Newport, with stops at the Canaries, Dominica, Guadeloupe, Nevis, the Virgin Islands (Tortola) and Mona (near Puerto Rico).

Finally, on 26 April 1607, the fleet reached the Chesapeake Bay and the mouth of a river they named the James after the king. The settlers chose a spot about fifty miles up the river and formed the settlement of Jamestown. There they opened the council list, on which Bartholomew's name was found, and elected Edward Maria Wingfield as their president. As an aside, Bartholomew's uncle had married Ursula Naunton, whose mother was Elizabeth Wingfield - Edward Wingfield's great-aunt!

Gosnold was popular in the colony, and before returning to England, Captain Newport asked President Wingfield "how he thought himself settled in government" to which Wingfield answered "that no disturbance could endanger him or the colony, but it must be wrought either by Captain Gosnold, or Master Archer; for the one was strong with friends and followers, and could if he would; and the other was troubled with an ambitious spirit, and would if he could".

After completing some brief explorations, (and failing to find the gold he was hoping for) Newport loaded his ships with wood as cargo and returned to England on 22 June. The colonists had not prepared well and depended largely on corn obtained by trade with the Indians This supply dried up in the summer (prior to the corn harvest), provisions fell short which combined with the swampy island the colonists had settled on, led to a deadly sickness breaking out. Of the 105 colonists, fifty died by the end of the first summer. Among these was Bartholomew, who died 22 August 1607. At his burial all the ordinance in the fort was fired in his honour "with many volleys of small shot" being recorded by another colonist, George Percy.

Instructions for the Virginia Colony, 1606

As we doubt not but you will have especial care to observe the ordinances set down by the King's Majesty and delivered unto you under the Privy Seal; so for your better directions upon your first landing we have thought good to recommend unto your care these instructions and articles following.

When it shall please God to send you on the coast of Virginia, you shall do your best endeavour to find out a safe port in the entrance of some navigable river, making choice of such a one as runneth farthest into the land, and if you happen to discover divers portable rivers, and amongst them any one that hath two main branches, if the difference be not great, make choice of that which bendeth most toward the North-West for that way you shall soonest find the other sea.

When you have made choice of the river on which you mean to settle, be not hasty in landing your victuals and munitions; but first let Captain Newport discover how far that river may be found navigable, that you make election of the strongest, most wholesome and fertile place; for if you make many removes, besides the loss of time, you shall greatly spoil your victuals and your caske, and with great pain transport it in small boats.

But if you choose your place so far up as a bark of fifty tuns will float, then you may lay all your provisions ashore with ease, and the better receive the trade of all the countries about you in the land; and such a place you may perchance find a hundred miles from the river's mouth, and the further up the better. For if you sit down near the entrance, except it be in some island that is strong by nature, an enemy that may approach you on even ground, may easily pull you out; and if he be driven to seek you a hundred miles [in] the land in boats, you shall from both sides of the river where it is narrowest, so beat them with your muskets as they shall never be able to prevail against you.

And to the end that you be not surprised as the French were in Florida by Melindus, and the Spaniard in the same place by the French, you shall do well to make this double provision. First, erect a little stoure at the mouth of the river that may lodge some ten men; with whom you shall leave a light boat, that when any fleet shall be in sight, they may come with speed to give you warning. Secondly, you must in no case suffer any of the native people of the country to inhabit between you and the sea coast; for you cannot carry yourselves so towards them, but they will grow discontented with your habitation, and be ready to guide and assist any nation that shall come to invade you; and if you neglect this, you neglect your safety.

When you have discovered as far up the river as you mean to plant yourselves, and landed your victuals and munitions; to the end that every man may know his charge, you shall do well to divide your six score men into three parts; whereof one party of them you may appoint to fortifie and build, of which your first work must be your storehouse for victuals; the other you may imploy in preparing your ground and sowing your corn and roots; the other ten of these forty you must leave as centinel at the haven1s mouth. The other forty you may imploy for two months in discovery of the river above you, and on the country about you; which charge Captain Newport and Captain Gosnold may undertake of these forty discoverers. When they do espie any high lands or hills, Captain Gosnold may take twenty of the company to cross over the lands, and carrying a half dozen pickaxes to try if they can find any minerals. The other twenty may go on by river, and pitch up boughs upon the bank's side, by which the other boats shall follow them by the same turnings. You may also take with them a wherry, such as is used here in the Thames; by which you may send back to the President for supply of munition or any other want, that you may not be driven to return for every small defect.

You must observe if you can, whether the river on which you plant doth spring out of mountains or out of lakes. If it be out of any lake, the passage to the other sea will be more easy, and [it] is like enough, that out of the same lake you shall find some spring which run[s] the contrary way towards the East India Sea; for the great and famous rivers of Volga, Tan[a]is and Dwina have three heads near joynd; and yet the one falleth into the Caspian Sea, the other into the Euxine Sea, and the third into the Paelonian Sea.

In all your passages you must have great care not to offend the naturals [natives], if you can eschew it; and imploy some few of your company to trade with them forcorn and all other . . . victuals if you have any; and this you must do before that they perceive you mean to plant among them; for not being sure how your own seed corn will prosper the first year, to avoid the danger of famine, use and endeavour to store yourselves of the country corn.

Your discoverers that pass over land with hired guides, must look well to them that they slip not from them: and for more assurance, let them take a compass with them, and write down how far they go upon every point of the compass; for that country having no way nor path, if that your guides run from you in the great woods or desert, you shall hardly ever find a passage back.

And how weary soever your soldiers be, let them never trust the country people with the carriage of their weapons; for if they run from you with your shott, which they only fear, they will easily kill them all with their arrows. And whensoever any of yours shoots before them, be sure they may be chosen out of your best marksmen; for if they see your learners miss what they aim at, they will think the weapon not so terrible, and thereby will be bould to assault you.

Above all things, do not advertize the killing of any of your men, that the country people may know it; if they perceive that they are but common men, and that with the loss of many of theirs they diminish any part of yours, they will make many adventures upon you. If the country be populous, you shall do well also, not to let them see or know of your sick men, if you have any; which may also encourage them to many enterprizes.

You must take especial care that you choose a seat for habitation that shall not be over burthened with woods near your town; for all the men you have, shall not he able to cleanse twenty acres a year; besides that it may serve for a covert for your enemies round about.

Neither must you plant in a low or moist place, because it will prove unhealthfull. You shall judge of the good air by the people; for some part of that coast where the lands are low, have their people blear eyed, and with swollen bellies and legs; but if the naturals he strong and clean made, it is a true sign of a wholesome soil.

You must take order to draw up the pinnace that is left with you, under the fort: and take her sails and anchors ashore, all but a small kedge to ride by; least some ill-dispositioned persons slip away with her.

You must take care that your marriners that go for wages, do not mar your trade; for those that mind not to inhabite, for a little gain will debase the estimation of exchange, and hinder the trade for ever after; and therefore you shall not admit or suffer any person whatsoever, other than such as shall be appointed by the President and Counsel there, to buy any merchandizes or other things whatsoever.

It were necessary that all your carpenters and other such like workmen about building do first build your storehouse and those other rooms of publick and necessary use before any house be set up for any private person: and though the workman may belong to any private persons yet let them all work together first for the company and then for private men.

And seeing order is at the same price with confusion, it shall be adviseably done to set your houses even and by a line, that your street may have a good breadth, and be carried square about your market place and every street's end opening into it; that from thence, with a few field pieces, you may command every street throughout; which market place you may also fortify if you think it needfull.

You shall do well to send a perfect relation by Captaine Newport of all that is done, what height you are seated, how far into the land, what commodities you find, what soil, woods and their several kinds, and so of all other things else to advertise particularly; and to suffer no man to return but by pasport from the President and Counsel, nor to write any letter of anything that may discourage others.

Lastly and chiefly the way to prosper and achieve good success is to make yourselves all of one mind for the good of your country and your own, and to serve and fear God the Giver of all Goodness, for every plantation which our Heavenly Father hath not planted shall be rooted out.

Notes for MARY GOLDING:

For her wedding, young Mary Golding journeyed with her parents, Robert and Martha Golding, from their home in Bury St. Edmunds, Suffolk, fifty-four miles toward London, to the home of her grandmother, Dame Mary Judde, widow of many years, who lived luxuriously at Latton, near Epping, Essex. The bridegroom, duly named in the Latton Parish Register for 1595, was Bartholomew Gosnold. Mary Gosnold's bridal chamber may well have been that designated in the old lady's will a few years later as "the Queen's Chamber."

Mary Judde, in marital adventures extending over half a century, had been united in holy wedlock successively to three wealthy London merchants, two of them widowers with children of their own by a previous mariage. Wen she died in 1601 she was possessed therefore of a numerous family and of considerable fortune, invested largely in household furnishings, although there was something over £2,000 to be distributed in cash bequests (undoubtedly equivealent to at least $150,000 today). From the persons mentioned in her will, with their known relatives, it is evident that great-grandson Bartholomew had joined a bewildering array of personages, some well remembered, others still living.

This matriarch, Dame Mary Judde, with an allure for wealthy widowere, began life as Mary Mathew, of Colchester, Essex. she was entitled, she thought, to the arms of her forebears, which were in fact confirmed unto her shortly after she inherited her share of the Judde fortune. Her first husband was Thomas Langton of London, who left her with several marriageable daughters. One of these, Mary, married Sir William Winter, Surveyor of the Navy, and brought into the world a large family, including several sons who became well-known mariners -- Nicholas Winter, Edward Winter (later knighted), and Captain William Winter. Lady Mary Winter died in 1575 and the children, at any rate the younger ones, presumably passed into the custody of their grandmother, as Mary Judde in her will claims all of the surviving ones as her own "sons" and "daughters". Since Mary Winter was a half-sister of another daughter of Mary Judde's who in turn became the mother of Mary Golding, Bartholomew Gosnold acquired all these Winter grandchildren of Dame Mary's as "cousins", by marriage.

Jane, another of Dame Mary's daughters by her first marriage, married John Barne, who thus became an uncle of Bartholomew's wife. He had interesting family connections of his own. His brother, Sir George Barne, a London merchant, served a term as Lord Mayor. A sister married first Alexander Carleill, giving John Barne as nephew the famous naval commander, Christopher Carleill. Secondly she married Francis Walsingham, at the time a leading Member of Parliment, who was to become Queen Elizabeth's Secretary of State. Another of John Barne's sisters married Sir John Rivers, who also had served a term as Lord Mayor of London, and who was the father of Captain John Rivers, a well-known mariner.

In a list of those who sailed with Drake on his expedition of 1585-1586, in the course of which he rescued the discouraged colonists of the first group sent to "southern Virginia" (today's Commonwealth of Virginia and adjacent North Carolina), appear the names of these connections of the Judde family into which Bartholomew married about ten years later: Christopher Carleill and an Alexander Carleill, probably a nephew; Edward and Nicholas Winter, sons of the Surveyor of the Navy; and John Rivers. As lieutenant under Christopher Carleill we also find the name of Thomas Gates (knighted in 1596), who appears somewhat mysteriously as an incorporator in the first Virginia Charter of 1606, which was granted after Bartholomew Gosnold had spent a year, perhaps two, in promoting the cause.

On February 7, 1552, Mary Langton, nee Mathew, became the third wife of Sir Andrew Judde. This marriage took place, a chronicle of the period reveals, only five weeks after the decease of Thomas Langton of the Skinner' Company. In due time she bore Sir Andrew a daughter named Martha, the only child of the marriage.

By his first wife, Mary Mirfyn, Sir Andrew and had a daughter named Alice, who grew up to marry Thomas Smythe, commonly called "Mr. Customer Smythe" from his position as collector of customs duties for Queen Elizabeth, which, incidentally, permitted him to amass a huge fortune quite legitimately. The third son of Alice and Mr. "Customer" Smythe, also named Thomas, became a wealthier gentleman than his father and was knighted in 1603 -- undoubtedly in that order. This son, having made a forture in Russian furs, took the lead in the formation and direction of the East India Company, chatered by Elizabeth in 1600. He also took the lead, it is believed, in the absence of definite records, in the formation and direction of the first Virginia Company of London. He held office in the Virginia Company as the presiding Treasurer for its first twelve years. This Company succeeded in settling a colony at Jamestown, Virginia, from which grew the United States.

Little Martha Judde was born into the world to be half-sister not only of Lady Winter and Mistress John Barne, but also of Alice Smythe. Martha could have had only the vaguest of recollections of her father, Sir Andrew Judde, who died before she had completed her sixth year; but surely she often stood before his memorial in St. Helen's Church, Bishopsgate, studying this record of her famous father's achievements:

To Russia and Muscova

To Spayne Gynny withoute fable

Traveld he by land and sea

Both Mayre of London and Staple

The Commenwelthe he norished

So Worthelie in all his daies

That ech state full well him loved

To his perpetuall prayes.

Three wyves he had one was Mary

Four sunes one mayde had he by her

Annys had none by him truly

By dame Mary had one dowghter

Thus in the month of September

A thousande fyve jundred fyftey

And eyght died this worthie Staplar

Worshipynge his posterytye.

The third marriage of Dame Mary Judde -- who retained to the end of her days the name of the most famous of her three husbands -- was to James Altham, another London merchant, alderman, and sheriff. For "contemptuous disobedyence" of a court order of the aldermen, he was dismissed from that office in 1561 and retired to Latton, where he bought not only the great Manor but also most of the village. This marriage brought into Dame Mary's family circle a new set of step-children, all mothered by James Altham's first wife, daughter of the London haberdasher, Thomas Blanke. Altham died in 1583, leaving his widow to enjoy for eighteen years her share of the fortunes of her three husbands.

Dame Mary's will of 1601 is a wondrous affair of five large, closely written pages as copied for probate. It distributes he contents of some sixteen parlors and chambers. The chief beneficiaries were an unidentified Wolley family (probably that of one of her daughters), the Golding family, and the Barne family. The Winters, the Althams, and others, were minor beneficiaries.

There were eight large bedsteads with their featherbeds and furnishings, and two little hanging beds. Mary Gosnold got one of the latter with its furnishings and all the household effects in the room that was known as Robert Golding's chamber. For all the beneficiaries there were lists reading like inventories, of what each was to receive, every item of fabric being mentioned individually, or, in the case of napkins, given by the dozen. The grand total of the fabric articles, linens, damasks, Turkish covers, and others, by a rough count came to some 424 items; but that was not all, since the hangings and furnishings of the beds were not separately itemized. Distributed also were sundry pieces of parlor furniture and some 120 pieces of plate, silver-gilt and silver. There were two sets of "Apostle" spoons -- the usual present of sponsors at baptisms -- twelve each. Jewelry consisting of a gold chain and six rings, with diamonds, emeralds, rubies, and turquoise, were given to favorite daughters and granddaughters.

Martha was given, in addition to her long list of furnishings, her mother's coach with a pair of stallions and all their accessories, including "a quilt of yellow and blue sarcient" and a (cloth of) silver pillow with Dame Mary's arms on it. To Martha also was left a nest of gilt goblets with a cover, "which were Mr. Andrew Judds."

By this will, apparently, the great manor house was denuded of its furnishings, or "movables", which were the personal property of Dame Mary Dudde -- according to the custom of the times. However, as the Althams undoubtedly had the income from the lucrative lands about, and one of the sons, Sir James, became a Baron of the Exchequer, probably its refurnishing was not a troublesome matter financially.

In the long list of servants and clergymen to receive bequests appear the names of Mr. Chatterton, Master of Emanuel College in Cambridge, who was to preach the funeral sermon, and of a Mr. Dunn, minister at Latton. The two thousand pounds in cash were evidently distributed among the more needy of the beneficiaries; the Goldings were not included among these.

The Smythe grandchildren of Sir Andrew Judde, step-grandchildren of the testator, are not mentioned in this will, neither for that matter had Sir Andrew mentioned them in his. This branch of the family was possibly too saturated with wealth either to need or to appreciate bequests from the Juddes.

There is scant information to be had about Robert Golding, Bartholomew Gosnold's father-in-law. He is named by Dame Mary as her son-in-law, the husband of her daughter Martha, and was to be an executor of the will. In the latter part of his life, from 1580 until his death in 1610, Robert seems to have been a prominent and active citizen of Bury St. Edmunds, apparently a lawyer. He served as recorder for the town of Eye -- he may have been a son of John and Christian Golding of Eye, whose wills mention a son Robert, a minor, not further identified. It is somewhat more than just possible that this Robert Golding was the lawyer of the Inner Temple who was appointed "Reader" or honorary lecturer in 1579 and twice in 1588, and who became Treasureer of the Inner Temple, for the term 1589-1590 -- appointments usually crowning a brilliant career of a lawyer sufficiently wealthy to bear the expense of entertaining in the manner expected of the holder of these honors. If Martha's husband was this lawyer of the Inner Temple, it means that at the age of about thirty-eight he married a girl half his age -- a happy outcome, perhaps, of a long association with the Judde family as Dame Mary's legal adviser.

This seems the more likely when the quetion is raised as to what circumstances let to the marriage of Anthony Gosnold's son to the daughter of Robert Golding. The best guess is that Gosnold and Golding were associated somehow, perhaps merely as friends, in the practice of law. Robert Golding of the Inner Temple entered upon his studies in the same years which found Anthony Gosnold studying law at Gray's Inn. The two obviously began their practice of the profession at about the same time. Anthony Gosnold married late in life, his older son Bartholomew having been born only a year or two before Mary Golding. It would seem, therefore, that the two fathers had parallel and probably closely associated careers. If the identification of Robert Golding is correct, then the two were born within a year of one another, were at Cambridge together, studied law in the same years, married within a year of one another, and died only a year apart.

But however the marriage of her daughter was brought about, Martha Golding was predisposed toward a son-in-law who would sail the seas in the search of wealth. She had grown up in the society of merchant adventurers at their highest level. Although only five or six years Sir Thomas Smythe's senior, she was -- as has ben pointed out -- his aunt, and he was a man who has been called the Cecil Rhodes, or alternatively the J. Pierpont Morgan of his day. Sir Thomas's sister, Martha Golding's niece, also has a claim to attention, since she became the second wife (succeeding Lady Stafford's daughter) of Sir John Scott, one of Sir Thomas's associates and a leader in the first Virginia Company of London. Merchants who became Lord Mayors of London were indeed a commonplace in the family album of Martha Golding.

On the sea-going side, she was the aunt of the three sons of her older half-sister, Mary Winter, all of them naval officers. The eldest was Master Nicholas Winter. Next came Captain Edward Winter, later knighted, who married the daughter of the Earl of Worchester (and granddaughter of Earl of Huntington) -- the lady for whom a room was always reserved in Dame mary Judde's household. Lastly htere was Captain William Winter, who sailed as far as Newfoundland with Sir Humphrey Gilbert and who was still living at the time of Bartholomew Gosnold's voyage to Norumbega.

This was an age when couples joined together by God might not be put asunder by man. Marriages "made in heaven" created relationships as valid as blood ties. Brother-in-law and sisters-in-law thus became "brothers" and "sisters". Martha Golding, accordingly, by what might today seem an unwarranted extension of "in-law" relationships, was an aunt of sorts to Captain Christopher Carleill and to Captain John Rivers, as well as aunt by birth to the sea-faring Winters. The Drake expedition in which members of her family participated was undertaken when Martha's daughter Mary was in her early teens. Who can doubt that glamorous tales of these adventures in the family circle prepared little Mary for a life as the wife of an adventurer such as Bartholomew Gosnold turned out to be!

To this day, a large verdant island off the southern coast of Massachusetts, discovered by Bartholomew Gosnold in 1602, is named Martha's Vineyard. For nearly three centuries and a half no one has known why Bartholomew gave it this name. Little Martha of the Dudde family in the course of years became a grandmother, and her name was given to Bartholomew's first born child, Martha Gosnold. In her honor, therefore, Bartholomew named this island, the first on the American coast to be given the name of one of Queen Elizabeth's subjects. The name is a banner flung aloft by Bartholomew Gosnold to proclaim to his own and to following generations that all of America was to be taken over by England's merchant adventurers. Martha Golding, daughter of the adventuring City of London, with her ancestry, kinsmen and associations, represented for him the forces in England that wre to creat a new nation; and it was her hame, having become that of his own child, that he wished to prepetuate in the New World.

14. ROBERT⁷ GOSNOLD V (ROBERT⁶, ROBERT⁵, ROBERT GOSNOLD II THE⁴ YOUNGER, ROBERT GOSNOLD I THE³ ELDER, JOHN² GOSNOLD, JOHN¹) was born 1587, and died 1633. He married ANNE TALMACHE February 20, 1608/09 in Helmingham.

Notes for ANNE TALMACHE:

The Talmache family of Letheringham, some five miles from Otley, in which the eldest sons for generations were successively named Lionel. That they were friends of the Gosnolds in Bartholomew's day is shown by the scribbled name "Edward Gosnold" in the manuscript of Chaucer's Canterbury Tales in the Talmache library. It seems that this was some childish prank and that the Edward in question was Bartholomew's youngest uncle. Later, his oldest uncle, Robert III, had a row with the Lionel Talmache of 1599 about a meadow in Helmingham (only two miles from Otley and where the scribbled-in manuscript was.) This dispute was settled by the Sir Anthony Wingfield of Letheringham of that generation. And finally, still later, Robert Gosnold (V) in his day married Ann Talmache, who thus became the sister-in-law of "the younger" Anthony Gosnold of Virginia -- he who refused to go bact to England for the £100 left him by grandfather Robert (III).
