List of Jamestown colonists

On 4 May [O.S. 14 May] 1607, 105 to 108 English men and boys (surviving the voyage from England) established the Jamestown Settlement for the Virginia Company of London, on a slender peninsula on the bank of the James River. It became the first long-term English settlement in North America.[1][2]

The trips aboard the ships Susan Constant, Discovery, and the Godspeed, and the settlement itself, were sponsored by the London Company, whose "adventurers" (investors) hoped to make a profit from the resources of the New World. The settlers suffered terrible hardships in its early years, including sickness, starvation, and native attacks. By early 1610, most of the settlers had died due to starvation and disease.[3] With resupply and additional immigrants, it managed to endure, becoming America's first permanent English colony.[4]

Once the settlement location was chosen, the company members opened sealed instructions containing the list of the previously chosen councillors of the Virginia Governor's Council. The first council president was Edward Maria Wingfield. The other six council members were Bartholomew Gosnold, John Martin, John Ratcliffe, George Kendall, Christopher Newport (ex officio) and John Smith.[5]

See also: Sea Venture and History of Bermuda

With 500 to 600 persons, a fleet of nine ships set sail in May 1609 led by Thomas Gates and George Somers. The ships were named Sea Venture, Diamond, Faulcon [sic],[47] Blessinge, Unitie [sic], Lion, Swallow, Virginia, and Catch (ketch[48]),.[49][50]

In July, a tropical storm struck the flotilla. The Catch vanished with all aboard, and the Sea Venture shipwrecked on Bermuda, inadvertently colonizing the island.[51] The seven remaining ships arrived at Jamestown only to bring diseased and hungry passengers to the stressed colony.[52][53]

Council members in bold.[6][7] Those who died in Bermuda (or were lost at sea) are indicated with a Latin cross (✝️). Titles and occupations are from era accounts, but use modern British spellings.
