"Hundreds" in Early Colonial Virginia In the early days of the Virginia colony, it was hard to recruit settlers to leave England and travel to Virginia. Life in the New World was hard. Most immigrants were dying in the new colony - about 90% over the "Starving Time" winter of 1609-1610. The Spaniards had experienced a New World with easy-to-steal gold and silver, but by 1614 it was clear that tobacco was the most-profitable export to come from Virginia's earth... and tobacco farming was hard, hard work.

The Virginia colony was a private venture, managed by the Virginia Company with the blessing of King James I. After the initial promises to make the investors rich did not pan out, the company was unable to sell new shares of stock to raise capital for shipping more people/equipment to Virginia. The labor of indentured servants was essential to tobacco production - and if most settlers died, it just meant the colony had to work even harder to recruit more people.

The Virginia Company shifted gears, recognizing that one item was the most effective inducement to attract new settlers. It began to offer land, a commodity which the company had in abundance, as the incentive to recruit new laborers. Anyone paying their own expenses to Virginia, or the expenses of someone else, would receive a warrant authorizing them to survey and "patent" 50 acres of land free.

In an even better offer, new investors could assemble a whole group of new settlers and start a "particular plantation" away from Jamestown. These plantations were allowed more self-government, an added inducement for a new investor to risk ("venture") their capital. (References in the early 1600's to "adventurers" are comparable to references today to "venture capitalists.") The company's chief manager in Jamestown (the governor) had control over the company's settlements. The new plantations had some autonomy, even before the formation of the first General Assembly in 1619.

The new plantations were called Hundreds, reflecting an old Norman term used to divide England into administrative units after their conquest of the island. The districts (in Norman Conquest time) were sized so each could provide 100 soldiers upon command, but by the time of James I the settlements in Virginia were closer to 100 people - including women and children. Each immigrant brought to Virginia, no matter what their age or sex, entitled the investor paying their way to 100 acres of land.

Bermuda Hundred was started in 1613, after the English settlers made peace with the Virginia natives - in part with Pocahontas' help. It was named after the traumatic shipwreck of the "Third Supply" bringing reinforcements to Virginia in 1609. The leaders of that expedition were shipwrecked in Bermuda and had to take their wrecked ship apart and build two smaller ships to finally get to Virginia. Shakespeare incorporated the tale into a play, The Tempest.

Bermuda Hundred was initially intended to include several "hundreds" upstream and downstream of the Appomattox River. Just north of the mouth of the Appomattox, Bermuda City was founded. It was renamed Charles City to honor the king in England (hey, flattery matters...). City Point is the last remnant of that name south of the James River.

The Bermuda settlements were attacked severely in 1622, when the natives abandoned their efforts at peaceful coexistence. Bermuda Hundred never gained prominence again until 1864 when a Union Army occupied it. The Federal troops came very close to capturing Petersburg and ending the Civil War, before being bottled up on the peninsula.

Regarding his association with John Wall
http://www.ncgenweb.us/richmond/wallloupoole.pdf
?In February 1745, all the county?s western territory was made into Lunenburg County... John Wall and Nicholas Edmunds were commissioned by the Brunswick Court to oversee and recruit help for the laying of Brunswick?s new western boundary. Drury Stith made the actual survey...?
?...By 1732, the population had so increased that the Council decided to allow Brunswick to set up its own magisterial system and stand on its own. ...?Whereas in pursuance of the Act of Assembly for erecting the County of Brunswick a Court House for the said county is now built & by the increase of
Inhabitants the said County judged is a Capacity to have Magistrates of its own. It is ordered that a Commission of the Peace be prepared for the sd. County, & that Henry Fox, Henry Embry, John Wall....William Machiln, Gent., be appointed Justices for the said County...
?Most of Brunswick?s troops were in the militia, and had been serving as early as 1741. Prior to this date, Prince George County, from which Brunswick was formed, had been responsible for the protection of the county?s frontier. According to existing records it appears that on 2 July 1741, Colonel Henry Embry was the first militia officer commissioned in the county. Also commissioned in July and August, 1741, were:
John Wall, Lieutenant Colonel; and Drury Stith, Major, in a Company of Horse...?
?In the early days of Brunswick County, when the Indians still lingered around the fort and the population was sparse, the church had little communication with its frontier members. ...the nearest minister was the Reverend John Cargill, of Southwark Parish. In 1724 he wrote the Bishop of London from his home on the James River, ?My Parish is twenty miles in width and one hundred in length, being a frontier Parish. It has 394 families. The school for Indians is on the borders of my parish. There are one church and two chapels and seventy or eighty communicants.?
?The Parish of St. Andrew had legally begun before Cargill wrote his letter. When Brunswick was founded in 1720, the order setting up the new county also designated the area as St. Andrew?s Parish and provided money to build a church. The church was not built immediately, but was in existence before 1732.
?The St. Andrew?s Parish, Vestry Book, kept in the County Clerk?s Office, begins with an entry in July, 1732. A vestry is the elected administrative body of an Episcopal church. The first recorded vestry consisted of Henry Embry, and John Wall as Churchwardens... They were all paid 1000 pounds of tobacco for their services.?
