| Description | Indenture between the "Treasurer and Company of Adventurers of Planters of the City of London for the first Colony in Virginia" and Thomas Bulkeley of Beaumaris [rather of Llanfairfechan], second son of Sir Richard [the third], and later first Viscount. Reference to £25 "adventured" by the late Sir Richard for the use of his son Thomas; also to the fact that T.B. and his “associates” had undertaken to transport to Virginia at their own proper costs and charges 100 persons "and there to erect and build a Towne and setle and plant divers Inhabitants"; 100 acres assigned to him and his "associates" for every share of £12.10.0. adventured in the Company, but the money must be paid in to the Company's treasury before the Feast of St. John the Beptist in 1625; several more provisions which throw especially interesting light on the terms of emigration and on the management and upkeep of the Virginia colony. It is not very likely that the Cheadle entanglements, the Cheshire controversy, the successive deaths of his elder brother and nephew, and his own accession to the Baron Hill estate, allowed T.B. much leisure to help in developing the Virginian adventures; at least, nothing more is heard of the project in these papers |
