lantation over against James Citie._--Hening reports as
Burgesses (after James Citty) for the other side of the water, Capt.
John West, Capt ffelgate; as John West's name appears in the text under
this head, we presume the places are identical and refer to probably
some place on the opposite side of the James river not more definitely
designated.
_The Glase Howse._[Y]
Vincentio,
Bernardo,
Ould Sheppard, his sonn,
Richard Tarborer.
Mrs. Bernardo.
[Y] _The Glass House._--We find frequent references to but no notice of
the erection of this building. Smith, in his account of the attempt to
murder him by the Dutchmen in 1608, says, "They sent Francis, their
companion, disguised like a Salvage, to the Glasse-house, a place in the
woods neare a myle from Iames Toune," &c., Smith attempted to apprehend
him, but he escaped, and after he had sent "20 shot after him; himself
returning from the Glasse House alone," when he encountered the king of
the Paspa heigh whom he defeated and "led him prisoner to Iames Toune
and put him in chaynes." Smith (1627) pp. 83, 84.
Stith says after the return of Newport from his expedition of discovery
up James river "No sooner were they landed but the President (Smith)
dispersed as many as were able, some to make Glass and others for
Pitch," &c.; and in 1609, "And now the Colony pursued their business
with alacrity and success. They made three or four lasts of Tar, Pitch,
and Soap ashes and produced a trial of glass," &c., &c. And in 1621,
speaking of the subscriptions opened in England, he says, "The third
roll was for a glass furnace to make beads, which was the current coin
in the Indian trade; and one Captaine Norton, with some Italian workmen,
was sent over for that purpose." See also Stith, pp. 95, 97, 197, 198.
As the names of Vincentio and Benardo appear in the text, we may infer
that some of the Italian workmen survived the massacre of 1622.
