Colonial map from the book "Early Virginia Families Along the James River" showing earliest land patents of Virginia settlers on the Curles of the James, who were granted land for the transportation of persons to the colony. Jamestown, not shown, would be to the east (right) side. The second settlement, the City of Henricus, was abandoned after the 1622 Indian Massacre during which one third of the colonists were killed, and became known as Farrar's Island in 1637 when the patent was granted posthumously to Ancient Planter William Farrar (1583-1637).
