The Bride Ships Of 1620, Colonial America's First Transatlantic Party Buses
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 26 июл 2022
- Jamestown, Virginia, arose as the first permanent English settlement in the New World, largely thanks to the strength and resilience of the Jamestown colony brides. The initial group of settlers, all male, arrived and built James Fort in 1607, a private, corporate adventure. Much opportunity, along with much risk, lay waiting in the New World. But within a year, the men already complained about the lack of female company. To satisfy the colonial men, the Virginia Company sent over the bride ships of 1619, enticing the women with hopes for a better life while satiating the men's demands.

Coming up this fall on Bravo: The Real Housewives of Jamestown. The ladies are going to get litigious!
i just spat out my coffee laughing! would totally watch it though tbh
🤣🤣🤣
If this becomes a Saturday Night Live sketch, sue 'em.
Hahaha 🤣.
😂😂😂😂😂😂
William Johnson arriving in 1607 is one of my great grandfathers. (It absolutely paid to be a Laborer and know how to take care of yourself.) He had a family a couple of those offspring survived the Jamestown Massacre of 1622 by hiding for a few days. May be weird history, it worked. For some.
Was he really a distant relative? Is so how did you track it back that far?
@@J-Mac8 paper genealogy.
I don’t have any from Jamestown but I do have 3 great grandfathers from the Mayflower William Brewster, William Bradford, and Richard Warren.
That's fantastic history to know! You should be really proud that your family has kept that knowledge alive.
Our ancestors new each other probably. John Morris was my ancestor and came to Jamestown around that time. He lived to be 92 which was impressive for the time and area.
Finally! The right place to point out some historical inaccuracies in the Jamestown series!
The idea that the blacksmith would be disrespected and pushed around is ridiculous. He and a carpenter are the most essential people there, and even back home they are high status.
The idea that a woman would curse someone in public, where that could mean getting burned alive? Please.
The idea of a servant have a back lacing bodice is too. Who’s going to help her get dressed in the morning? Her mistress?
Its very easy to put on a back laced corset or bodice by yourself, its a myth perpetuated by hollywood that they required help to put put on.They have long cords at either side to make it easier to pull. I have a back lacing corset myself, its so easy a child could do it 😆
Don't you know about the "girl boss"/weak, servile male narrative/predictive programing all media is required to conform to?
I kind of agree, but just because you Shouldn't doesn't mean you Wouldn't, have you honestly never done something that would get you burned for being a Witch?
The blacksmith wasn't disrepected. Did you even watch the series?
Also, do you understand that a tv series is an entertainment show? It is not a documentary?
When you watch a historical show it is just that, a show to entertain, not to teach you 100% what happened. If you want accuracy go read a book instead!
Love it 💙 What a fine comment Friday!!
Didn't know about the bride setup, thanks for the very interesting video. This was my beginning in Virginia: John and Elizabeth Moore, 'John Moore came to Virginia in 1620 in the Bona Nova and was listed at Elizabeth City with his wife Elizabeth who came in the Abigail in 1622, in the census 1623, and in the muster, 1624/5, in which his age was shown as 36. (This would make his birth date 1588). His patent for 200 acres on Little Poquoson Creek was issued 3 July 1635.' per WikiTree Family Tree. We're still in the same area, York County, Poquoson, and I now live in King and Queen County. The heck with going west. :-)
My Moore ancestry came over to Maryland!
@@katiefrankie6 Cool!
Might've been a little too early to have heard the phrase, "Go west young man...," but I'm glad my early kinfolk had that in mind.
A whole gaggle of folks migrated from New Kent Co., Virginia in the 1780's and settled here in the Green River country of central Kentucky. They went no further west.
I thank the Lord for my roots that are 240+ years deep in this one place. Some folks might think otherwise, but to me this is God's country.
@@ea42455 I wrote a bit lengthy reply and don't know where it went- I'll just say that Kentucky does, indeed, look like a beautiful place to live. :)
@@Britspence381 hi couz!!! Some of our Moore’s went to Kentucky and yeah it’s beautiful! ☺️
I visited Jamestown a number of years ago. I totally forgot about the bride ships!
Same, visited a few years ago. Really cool. In fact, technically (pushes up glasses) the building they show at the start with the Stop sign guy is the church that the settlers built, not the fort. *Technically*.
Jamestown takes your breath away. I've been to Colonial Williamsburg as well and I was just in awww, I couldn't even talk. My next history trip is to visit Independence Hall and Piecefield.
🙂I love this video. A similar situation arose at the French colony of Quebec at about the same time. Maybe you can do a follow up video about the "Daughters of the King" in New Fance😊
Filles du roi.
I second this! Many of my ancestors were those same passengers
Pretty much all of Quebec is descended from them, it’s pretty much all you learn about in school, especially the French system
One of my ancestors came to Jamestown in 1620 at the age of 14. It seems he was an indentured servant, picked up off the streets of London. He not only survived those Indian attacks, but he acquired about 400 acres I think from recruiting other colonists. He lived to about age 90.
What was his name? What ship? Mine came over at the age of 11 onboard the Hercules in 1611.
That's amazing that you have records like that.
Back then if your father died and mom ran out of money, she could be kicked out, they went to work at the poor house. Little beggar boys who were picked up for almost anything were sent on ships to the new world to work as indentured servants. Disease would run rampant through the streets, many perished.
In that time period though men and women were pretty fertile having ten children. Only the eldest son inherited the lot. So the other 9 better make other plans for life from early on. Dowries were given to new son-in-laws for their daughters if father had the money. Women did not normally own property.
My first ancestor was John Chandler who at age 11 came over on the ship the Hercules with Capt Thomas Willoughby in 1611. John was baptized at St Margaret's @Westminster in 1600. He later sponsored several people and was therefore able to acquire land. His marriage at this point is difficult to discern as her name was Elizabeth ? So many Elizabeth's.
Another ancestor came over with her husband circa 1617. Her name was Elizabeth Bassano (cousin, niece to Amelia Bassano?, Shakespeare's Dark Lady). She was married to Albiano Lupo son of court musician Peter Lupo. They sponsored many and acquired land. She alone had 80 acres in her name. He and their eldest son William b 1616 were either killed in the Indian wars or by disease, both deceased by 1624/5. Her eldest daughter Temperance Lupo b 1620 survived. Elizabeth (Bassano) Lupo then remarried to my John Chandler, House of Burgess, Richmond, and merged their lands. They bought land in Newport News and eventually Hampton VA where the land remained in the family for a few hundred years.
That's incredible he lived that long. Almost twice the age of the day. It's great you have that family history.
@@hardnox6655
My John Chandler named his son John Chandler and named his other son Robert. Robert had 2 sons. Named one John and the other Robert. They all had sons named John and Robert and cousins followed by grandsons named John and Robert.. When John's will left a small number of acres to his son Robert, most went to his son John. Robert lived in the original land next to his brother John. When you look back into the records it can get very confusing if you just graze over it.
This was interesting to learn. When my English ancestors settled in colonial America, they were further north in Massachusetts, Connecticut, and Maine.
My ancestor was Pedro de Robledo who was a settler that died on the Onate Expedition in 1598. He has a mountain named after him in New Mexico. His granddaughter has a county named after her 😀

Virginia company:
“hey farmer! You can have the OLD maid”
I nearly inhaled my lunch laughing at this!!!
😅🤣I guess when most women died before age 35 in childbirth, 26 must have seemed pretty long in the tooth. Now women live to be 95-100. My gramma is 101 and still throws martini parties and plays Bridge four times a week. To her 26 is a baby!!! That woman was 26 in 1947!!!!😅🤣 YOU will probably live to 126!!!

Next you could do a video about the Verdingkinder, basically orphan and poor children in Switzerland that were being sold into slavery to farmers. This lastest until the 1960s.
As being a Virginian I’ve been to Jamestown and the other historical sites several times its always interesting
I was in Williamsburg before COVID broke out and it is a beautiful town. Especially on a crisp autumn day. I didn’t know Virginia had so many state recognized indigenous tribes and some of them are in the vicinity of that area. I’d really like to learn more from them
I'm sure you will find the Right man one day & pop that cherry.
@@jgallardo7344 what would you like to know?
Did you know that some of the Indigenous in Canada and the Dakotas known as the “Sioux” had Siouan ancestors living in the western part of Virginia up into the 1800’s? Many of us Eastern natives are related & come from various ancestors of all colors and status. We are spread throughout the US and communicate with each other over the Internet & phone, frequently having get togethers to honor our ancestors.
@@rebeccamd7903 wow! I didn’t know that. Didn’t know the Siouan had such geographical extensive roots all the way to the Eastern Seaboard of the United States. What caused the migration in that direction? Thanks for sharing this
I lived in VA as a child and it was a horrible experience.. I couldn't imagine how much worse it was back then.
At least they didn’t have to pay for Netflix 🤧
Im still stuck here
@@Shycrochetqueen Oof GL
Anywhere in the east coast is just bad tbf
I hold both British and American citizenship since birth growing up in both countries and I must agree with you as Virginia is one of the lowest economy's of all the states today and frankly it's a disgrace to even go through there. I wish the best for the many innocent people that do live there not by choice but necessity and it is bound to get worse for them with the housing markets getting worse across the the country as it is not affordable any longer due to the pandemic as landlords are simply trying to recoup a lot of the money they lost. In my current state, rent Alone went up 3 to 4 times previously. I am blessed to have my home paid off prior to the pandemic but still billions of others are not as lucky unfortunately which saddens me. It makes it hard for those from Virginia to relocate out for better employment opportunities and live. There is outstanding people from the state, just not the state itself.
Please do a video of African braided hair maps. Also I love your channel, I’ve seen almost all your videos!
Unfortunately that’s something that popped up on the internet and there’s no actual facts to back it up.
@@kendralynn897 Are your sure about that?
There's no evidence to support 'braided hair maps' whatsoever, but reality appears to be irrelevant these days, think about it, how detailed could a map on someone's head be, how would it show distance, the person with it on their head couldn't see it and that person would have to be a compass, a map is useless without coordinates, where did the person braiding it get it from, the map would have to be different from every location, in reality it's just stupid.
@@hetrodoxly1203 There's no hardcore evidence to disprove either since there is several things in history that we suppose happen but there is no written documentation especially in cultures where writing wasn't taught, not encouraged or was lost. Several historians believe it's possible especially since Africans have used their hair to send messages about other aspects of their lives before enslavement. Enslaved also used quilts scraps for maps as well. Maps don't need coordinates or a compass. You can use landmarks and steps. Maybe think like a very rough pirate map. Oral retelling throughout history is how many things come about to be known rather than documentation and in some cases things are left behind rather than written down. Enslaved people used songs and quilts to help each other escape so hair can't be ruled out especially living in such a cruel time period.
@@itazuranakisu Common senses shows its nonsense, i can only assume you've never used a map in open country, it's difficult even with a ISO 1.25 map and a compass.
Great video as always always love the dry humour
👍the commentary is top notch 👌❤🇺🇸🦅🗽⭐
Maybe Weird History should do a video on what happened to those first men. The captain of one of those ships had his entire body skinned while he was alive and thrown into a fire by the natives.
Based First Nations
Should have heeded the No Trespassing signs.
@@sebastiandingleswitch3757 Agreed, can you imagine they also were a religious colony treating the natives like crap who had originally helped these ungrateful people.
Do you know the man's name?
This was like a mail-order bride situation
Eh, with no marriage arrangements it was really just a desperate volley for a viable settlement. Men going off to die overseas was normal, getting women to do it took more enticing.
The video literally explains why it isn’t.
A+ video!
LOVE IT! What a unique history!
I would be interested in watching your version of the History of Music and Musical Instruments. It’s really very fascinating if you go back to the very beginning and I would love more folks explore the topic. Thank you so much! 🎶💖🌻🌾
Yeah, I wanna know about the violin! 🎻
The first musical instrument may have been a bone flute
@@izzzthewizzz Could be the first to make an actual note. There was probably a hollow log or percussion first, and some say the bow.
The show Barkskins was like this..it was an awesome show!!!
I recently read a 1950s science fiction short story called The Girls from Earth by Frank Robinson. It was basically this but in space.
A woman who could both brew and butcher would be in high demand
"Missionary work" indeed. Also, no mention of how in the earliest years of Jamestown that supplies were few, people were dying off, so some resorted to cannibalism. Might have made it rough to advertise a trip.
and the only position accepted by the crown was the missionary @ time.😂😂

Could you please consider making a video of what life in Yugoslavia was like?
Have y'all done an episode about the orphan trains? Because you should. That shit was wild.
I want to know more about the lumbering of the redwood’s. Also cool to learn more about St. Louis
I have found several ancestors who were in Jamestown. My wife has more, plus Chief Powhatan is her 12th grandfather. Today she is a member of the Eastern band of Cherokee.

Love the show Jamestown
No thank you
I have to admit, the title cracked me up!
7:49 Jamestown, Australia… Britain sure did love exporting their convicts 😂
The way you narrate these cracks me up. I mean, the topics r fascinating but ur wise ass comments are awesome.
Also, there were two ship loads of children sent to Jamestown. This was one way for England to get rid of the many street urchins (who might spread disease, and steal, etc.) Some of them went willingly, but many were force to go. Not many of them survived long. About 250 children were sent in this way.
The dirty secret about the English colonists in the South was that England was sending it's undesirables through the headright system which was wealthy plantation owners paying for the passage of indentured servants ,allowing the plantation owners to aquire more land
After the Revolutionary War ended ,England began sending them to Australia
Weird history introduced The Bride of ships to the Bride of frankenstein.
The snarky comments are the main reason I watch these videos 🤣
I thought the first Dollar General opened in Jamestown in 1621.
Starbucks. 2 of them.
Right next to Waffle House
Thanks for this! 👰
Wondering if you have produced a vid on my native Maryland? Junk happened there too.
Everything happened in the new colonies
Its hard to know what we might hv done bc times are so different.
James the first was king if england. James the sixth was king of scotland. When Queen Elizabeth the first died James became known as James 1 of England and Scotland.
Mary Queen of Scots son! History is incredible 💖
@@sekichdawn3913 it is isn't it. I love the french royal history as well as the english.
Have you ever watched the British show "Horrible Histories"? For history lovers, it is such a kick. Especially the songs they write. If you pull up "The Blue Blooded Blues" on youtube, it is their song about James and the whole royal line. The lyrics are so clever and funny!!! It is a show more for kids, but I have found that adults who love history get a huge chuckle out of it!!
You KNOW that was a lovely bunch coming ashore, months at sea 🤐
Haha I don't see how they could have much input in the judicial system if they were murdered.
Many Virginia colonists in the first 40 years were young ,single male laborers between the ages of 15-25.
My earliest Ancestor came to Virginia at the age of 18 as an indentured servant tasked with laboring in the tobacco fields. He married after the contract with the plantation owner ended 4 years later
Love this witty narrator lol
King James had been King of England since 1603, and was the first king of that name there. He was the sixth King James of Scotland.
If I was young and single in that era, I would have volunteered to go (and my parents would likely be happy for me to become someone else's problem).
Cracking up at the photos of women with perfect hair and skin vs the paintings and drawings of women… they clearly don’t look the same HA!
A failure for a remote company trying to profit from it, but a success in that Jamestown didn't fall and that foothold is how America ever came about. A shitload died, but enough survived to make it a little easier and a little more enticing each year. Infrastructure grew slowly but steadily. And within a generation they had colonies, not just a few settlements.
when you see how many kids some of those families had its not surprising how fast the land got populated. heck just one family could sprout 10-20 more on average in just one generation.
@@65stang98 It was like that everywhere, and like everywhere out of 10-20 only one quarter survived childhood.
@@mikatu no shit.
This also happened in Canada! The fillies du Roy (I don't know the spelling)

You left out a lot of the juicier parts! If you can get a copy of "The First American Boom: Jamestown 1618-1630" by Edmund S. Morgan it is a very interesting read. MOST of the women who came do Jamestown did not marry. Most of the colony at that time was comprised of indentured servants, or ex-indentured servants who could not afford to pay the expenses to pay the Virginia Colony back for the cost of shipping the women over. MUCH of the tobacco that was grown by the many small new land owners went to alcohol consumption! There were merchants that would sail up the James River and anchor in the middle of the river across from Jamestown and the new plantations across the river on Gray's Creek area. There was nothing the Virginia Colony could do about this, and these merchants of alcohol (and possibly prostitutes) were the ones who got rich from the collection of tobacco from the farmers, in exchange for the alcohol they drank in great profusion. Then these alcohol merchants would take the tobacco back to England and sell it for money. This is how THEY got rich, at the expense of the Virginia Colony investors. Do a video on this, it would be interesting to see it.
Isn't it that VA women held property in order to keep it within her father's control, rather than to whomever she married?
Now THAT is weird history

Hello Weird History, do you, or anybody, have a source for marketing Native missionary work to women?
Please do a thing on the Chesapeake 😊
I think this was going on a lot longer that just 1620, two of my ancestors ‘single sisters’ came over in 1640 arriving in Charlestown.
Wow 😊😊
That is so cool that you found that.
Women coming over never stopped. Just as men continued to come. What changed was a single company stopped trying to send shiploads of women to keep their business running. After this people just came on their own. As the settlements grew, they became more desirable. When people stopped dying so quickly it was an easier sell.

I remember the x-ray foot-scope thing, '50's. Virginia finally passed a law banning them. 😃
Proven, no land can be settled without having the other so I have no idea why women were so disrespected in history if men desperately wanted them. Though I don’t know why they didn’t just satisfy their needs their self. The logic will just never be there but at least we are smarter now
