_EDITOR'S NOTE._
The reader will perceive that the foregoing list of the dead reports
only those who had died "since April last" (1622), consequently does not
include the victims of the Indian massacre, which occurred on the 22d of
March of that year. The number which fell by that diabolical conspiracy,
as reported by Smith, amounted to 347, and in his Generall Historie, at
page 149, he has a list of the numbers murdered at different places.
Neill copies from the Records of the Virginia Company (now in the
Congressional Library at Washington) a list of their names--see his
"History of the Virginia Company," pp. 339-346--and considering that it
is proper to annex this to the list preceding we herewith give it. The
total corresponds with the statement in Smith's Historie.
The number of deaths in the census list shows a mortality amounting in
one year to upwards of twenty per cent. of the whole population,
exceeding the number which fell in the massacre by twenty-four. The
fullest details of this and many other matters relating to the Colony
while under the Virginia Company, can be found more fully shown in
Neill's History of the Virginia Company than in any other work we have
seen.
