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 Virginia Company of London, whose stockholders hoped to make a profit from the resources of the New World. The community suffered terrible hardships in its early years, including starvation and native attacks. With resupply and additional immigrants, it managed to endure, becoming America's first permanent English colony.[3]
Once the settlement location was chosen, the company members opened sealed instructions containing the list of the previously chosen members 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.[4]

Between 105 to 108 settlers with 39 mariners (non-settlers) sailed aboard three ships.

Aboard the John and Francis (captained by Christopher Newport) and the Phoenix (captained by Francis Nelson), 120 settlers left England in October 1607. Only 100 made it to Virginia to settle.

Settlers from Third Supply (August 1609)[edit]
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, Catch, Diamond, Faulcon [sic],[25] Blessinge, Unitie [sic], Lion, Swallow, and Virginia.[26]
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.[27] The seven remaining ships arrived at Jamestown only to bring diseased and hungry passengers to the stressed colony.[28][29]
- Council members in bold.[30][31] Those who died at sea or in Bermuda are indicated with a Latin cross (✝️). Titles and occupations are from era accounts, but use modern British spellings.

Footnotes
- ^ Dates are in Old Style calendar (the New Year begins on March 25).[7]
- ^ Ship name, Mary and Margaret is sometimes documented as Mary Ann Margett
- ^ It is unclear which ship William Capps arrived on. Capps potentially was marooned on Bermuda with the Sea Venture (most likely) or could have arrived safely to Virginia with Thomas Gates remaining flotilla.[33]
- ^ Not to be confused with an English immigrant in Plymouth, Massachusetts, with the same name and same named-wife.
- ^ There is conflicting data on whether Jane Pierce (daughter of William and Joan) sailed with her father aboard Sea Venture or her mother on the Blessinge.[42][43] It is also debated if the found remains of a "Jane" are the same girl.[44]
- ^ A third ship, De La Warr name is debated, and even the ship itself to exist
- ^ Ship Mary and Thomas is often referred to as Mary and James[61]
- ^ Ship name is an alternate spelling of "Trial", sometimes written as Triall[67]
- ^ Swan ship might have been called Swan of Barnsataple[68]
