They immediately settled near the mouth of a creek on the south side of the James River

another plantation in the same neighborhood. This plantation was known as Basse's Choice
and was situated on the Pagan River. Nathaniel was back in England in early 1621/22 and
returned to Virginia in 1622. He was commissioned to seek colonists for Virginia in
New England and elsewhere.

hundred fourty British inhabitants in the state of Virginia. Of these, three hundred forty
seven were killed by Indians in the eighty settlements on the north and south sides of the

At the house of Nathaniel Basse, twins Humphrey and Samuel were slain. Nathaniel, who was in
England at the time, escaped.
