VIRGINIA CARTOGRAPHY. 



Ihe first in 1584 to the fifth in 1588, excepting the Hariot, were 

 orig-inally pubHshed in the above-mentioned volume. The ac- 

 count of the first voyage, in 1584, gives a hst on page 733 (edition 

 1589) of ten names and no White is found among them. The 

 second voyage, in 1585, on page 733, also mentions eight names 

 of " The principall gentlemen of our companie," and still no 

 John White. 



The first mention of a John White is made on page 735, of the 

 same expedition: " The 11. day the Generall (Sir Richard Green- 

 vill) accompanied in his tile boat with Master John Arundell, 

 Master Stukelye and diuers other Gentlemen, Master Lane, 

 Master Candish, Master Harriot, and 20 others in the neue pin- 

 nesse. Captain Amadas, Captaine Clarke, with tenne others in 

 a ship boate, Francis Brooke, and John White in another ship 

 boate passed ouer the water from Ococon to the mayne land, 

 victualled for eight days in which voyage we first discouered the 

 townes of Pomicke, Aquascogoc and Secota, and also the great 

 lake called the Sauages Paquype, with diuers other places, and 

 so returned with that discouery to our fleete." 



Let me say here that all the places " first discovered " are 

 found on With's map. 



Who is the John White mentioned above without either the 

 title Master or Captain, in an account where such titles are lav- 

 ishly given? Is this the poor painter whose trade was of so 

 little account? 



In a letter from Governor Lane, from Port Ferdinando, Va., 

 published for the first time in " Archaeologia Americana, v. 4," 

 dated 8th September, 1585, the above Francis Brooke is men- 

 tioned as " our Treasurer," with no mention of John White. 



In the list of one hundred and seven names of those " As well 

 Gentlemen as others " (pages 736-737 of Hakluyt) who remained 

 with Lane in Virginia "one whole yeere " (1585-1586), Master 

 Hariot is mentioned and a John Wright and John Twyt, these 

 last two evidently, from place on the list, members of crew. 

 This looks as if the only John White referred to had returned 

 to England or had been lost, unless one of the two names above 

 mentioned answers to the description. 



On page 770 (Hakluyt) in " The names of the men, women 

 and children, which safely arrived in Virginia, and remained to
