| | Christopher Newport |
 | | He was one of the founders of the colony at Jamestown, Virginia, setting sail in command of three vessels from Blackwall, London, 19 December, 1606. |
 | | Before going back to England, Captain Newport endeavored to depose Smith from the presidency, but failed, and afterward acknowledged himself to be in the wrong. |
 | | The man whom he assailed has described Newport as "empty, idle, timid, and ostentatious." He was the author of "Discoveries in America," first published in " Archaeologia Americana," edited by Reverend Edward Everett Hale (Boston, 1860). |
