The "Land of Virginia" was first seen by the lookout on April 26, and just a little later in the same day a party was sent ashore at Cape Henry to make what was the first landing in the wilderness. On April 29, a cross was set up among the sand dunes. A man named as master and over-seer of the works at the site called The falling Creeke agreed to take himself, his son Maurice, three servants and twenty workmen. The twenty workmen were to be bound for seven years of service to the Company. In the first seventeen years, despite hardship, suffering, death, discouragement and defeats, a great deal had been accomplished in Virginia.
