Who is buried at Historic Jamestowne?
Meet Danny Schmidt an archeologist at Historic Jamestowne. Danny shows of the grave sites of four prominent men in the original Jamestown settlement and tells us their stories. It's a tale of clery, statesman, spies and soldiers. In addition to scientific facts, he sprinkles in a few of his own theories that are based on scientific evidence, written documents and his own intuition. Danny has worked at the Historic Jamestowne site since he was 16 years old and was one of the archeologists who has been excuvating the site.

Thank you Sue and Danny. Wonderful information.
Thank you for this. My 10th great grandfather was Capt Robert Adams who sailed with Capt Gabriel Archer ( on the Blessing in 1609). And brought tabacco samples back to England aboard the Elizabeth grown by John Rolfe. I also saw that someone commented above they were a descendent of a Farrar. The Adams and Farrar families intermarried later on.
Great video!! I am a member of the Jamestowne Society as a descendant of William Farrar and Col. Thomas Ligon. Ligon was a distant relative of two of the men buried here, Capt. William West and Sir Ferdinando Wenman/Wainman as the Ligons were also distantly descended from the West family, Lords de la Warr. Very interesting!!
thank you for this video, John Rolfe was my gt Uncle
I think it is possible. And not so crazy.
Why is there a In ion Flag flying there?
