NOTE* WM DID NOT SAIL WITH NATE POWELL TO AMERICA WE HAVE THE SHIP LISTS [HE WOULD HAVE SHOWED HIM GOING BACK TOO] NOTED AS UNRELATED ON WIKIPEDIA AS NATHANIELS BROTHER THOMAS CLAIMED HIS PROPERTY AFTER NATE AND FAMILY WERE KILLED...
For some unknown reason people keep writing that Capt. William Powell arrived in Jamestown in 1607 with Capt. John Smith.This is not true.The London Company records list Nathaniel Powell, Gent., as the only Powell on the first voyage.For some reason people keep misquoting Capt. John Smith.In his book“History of Virginia” he never mentions Capt. William Powell as being in the Jamestown while he (Smith) was there.In the book, Smith does list Nathaniel Powell, Gent., as arriving with him in 1607, and later writes about his trusted friend Capt. Nathaniel Powell.
