Where was Nathaniel Bacon’s ( elder ) home on Kings creek located ? The events that led up to the death of Captain Hubert Ferrell at that location appear to a possible location on the east side of the kings creek ?
Do you have anything from 1676 , my grandfather lived there at that time . His name was Hubert Ferrell the husband of Dorothy Ferrell whose gravestone is now in Saint Paul’s , Norfolk Va ; she died in 1673 also in Jamestown. The came to Jamestown in 1658
Kia ora i am John Del A Warr West, 9th great grand son on my Fathers, mother side from New Zealand 🇳🇿. Amazing Colonial history. I understand that My 9th great uncle Thomas grave has been exhumed of l8t too, in Jamestown along side other commrades that got caught up waring with the Native indian frst nations of the early 1600s. I dear hope they and there belongings found are repatriated back to there homelands of England. GOD WILLING!!!
Interesting, could it be the grave of Captain Hubbard Hubert Ferrell he died 1676 , and was one of Berkeleys commanders. He was shot in the stomach at kings creek at sandy point during Bacons Rebellion. He was the husband of Dorthy Drue Farrell whose grave stone is still on display at Saint Paul’s Norfolk Va
Tired of climate change coming into every video you make. Where Jamestown is located is an ever changing area. Between river movements, unstable ground, storms etc. the geography has changed over centuries. Just be archaeologists.
@skepticalbadger mostly because the climate has been in Flux on this planet since ALWAYS. Long before we came around and long after we are gone. In fact, depending on how far back you go, you can skew the data to show that we are warming up. However, if you go further back, it's clear that we are in a state of cooling off. That been said, global warming is a corporo-political hoax designed to usurp the energy industry with solutions that are no better than the former in terms of pollution.
Well when people bring up climate change it generally makes me be skeptical of whatever else they say. I know for instance people promoting climate change clearly deny scientific studies that use tree rings to establish a 89 year weather global warming period. It’s what caused the dust bowl during the Great Depression. Look at Europe how they said it’s climate change that caused the rivers to be dry because of carbon pollution. They found writing on rocks in the dry rivers. I ask how did the people make writing on rock when the river runs low centuries ago if the river runs low only due to human caused pollution like scientists and governments and Greta keeps saying
My great grandfather Captain Hubbard Hubert Ferrell died in 1676 , he was in Berkeleys army . Would he have been buried there ? His wife died in 1673 her tomb/grave stone is now in St. Paul’s Norfolk va . Her name is Dorthy Drew Farrell .
I'm so glad this popped up on my feed. Recently I found out that one line in my family goes all the way back to this period, an English officer who married a Pamunkey/Powhatan woman. I consider the Tidewater Chesapeake Bay area to be my home, but I never realized that I had roots going back that far. It seems so remote. Now, I'm eager to learn whatever I can about this period. And, hope to get back to see some of this in person, soon. Thank you for sharing these discoveries.
Ah...! I love this kind of stuff....! And altho my heritage comes from Germany, I have an affinity of our earliest settlers...! Some may have relatives back then...! Very important work you are doing...1
As I watched I kept coming up with questions to ask you , but within seconds you’d answer. So no questions this time, yet a big big thank you for posting this video. It had been a long time since the last one! Mary
I have been following your videos for quite some time now, and this takes the cake!! Not only was the filming fantastic, but the finds are amazing!! The bricks with the different marks in them are a marvelous find. Thank you for keeping us updated with these finds.
I recommend sealing up notes and pics in a watertight container and placing them at the bottom of the well for the centuries ahead before filling in. Who knows if what you've collected will survive for future generations?
Its not ancient history - its 300 years ago - I lived a house older than that for 40 years…what a bunch - it was 1000 above sea level, its open well was used from the end of the last ice age and no salt water is needed to create hydrogen sulphide from aquifer water…. What a bunch
