[ 1621?
Promise of certain "WALLOONS
and FRENCH" to Emigrate to VIRGINIA.]
|
|
|
[ IN the centre of a large sheet of paper is
written in French, " We promise my Lord Ambassador
of the Most Serene King of Great Britain to go and inhabit
in Virginia, a land under His Majesty's obedience, as soon
as conveniently may be, and this under the conditions to be
carried out in the articles we have communicated to the said
Ambassador, and not otherwise, on the faith of which we have
unanimously signed this present with our sign manual."
|
|
[The signatures and the
calling of each are appended in the form of a round robin,
and in an outer circle the person signing states whether he
is married, and the number of his children. Endorsed
by Sir Dudley Carleton, "Signature of
such Walloons and French as offer themselfs to goe
into Verginia." The names with an * have
only signed their marks. Total 227,
including 55 men, 41 women, 129 children, and two
servants. As stated above, the original document
is in French. The version here given has the
authority of Mr. Sainsbury, of Her Majesty's Public Record
Office. The signatures are very
indistinctly written.] *

* [ The Answer of the
Virginia Company is dated Aug. 11, 1621, and a
contemporary copy is preserved in the State Paper
Department of Her Majesty's Public Record Office. It is
signed by John Ferrar, Deputy. The substance is to the
effect that the Company do not conceive any inconvenience,
provided the number does not exceed 300, and they take the
oath of allegiance to the King and conform to the rules of
government established in the Church of England. Cannot
recommend the King to aid them with shipping; the
exhausted stock of the Company prevents them from
affording any help. Land will be granted to them in
convenient numbers in the principal cities, boroughs, and
corporations in Virginia.]
