  Begin your adventure - Jamestown 2007
John Ratcliffe was Captain of the Discovery, the smallest of the three ships that sailed from England on December 19, 1606 to Virginia, to found a colony, arriving May 14, 1607.
Ratcliffe became the second Council president of the colony when Wingfield was deposed; he became unpopular because he insisted on the building of a 'palace' for himself as President and was succeeded by John Smith.
John Ratcliffe (died September 1609) was captain of the Discovery, one of three boats that sailed from England on December 19, 1606 to Virginia, to found a colony, arriving May 14, 1607.

  Jamestown, Virginia - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
John Ratcliffe was elected to take his place until John Smith was elected to replace Ratcliffe a year later.
While on a trade mission shortly after being elected, Ratcliffe was captured by Chief Powhatan and tortured to death by women of the Powhatan tribe leaving the colony without strong leadership.
However, his major contribution is that he was the first man to successfully raise export tobacco in the Colony (although the colonists had begun to make glass artifacts to export immediately after their arrival).

 Brad Cox, Ph.D.
John Smith's later writings tell us that a few years earlier at the age of 12, Pocahontas had dramatically saved Smith from her father, the Powhattan's, wrath.
John Rolfe returned to Virginia in 1617, and married Joane, the daughter of William Pierce, who had come to Jamestown in 1609.
Pocahontas also met John Smith once again in London, but as she was royalty and he but a commoner, Pocahontas reportedly had a difficult time rekindling their old relationship.

Captain John Martin backed Archer up, but Wingfield believed Smith was the first and only person to collect the charges against him.
As uncertain as we are about the Pocahontas legend now, it was certain at the time that men in Smith's care had been lost on the expedition, and that President Ratcliffe and the Council saw that as an opportunity to be rid of him.
Ratcliffe, Archer, and Martin delayed Smith's departure three weeks while they prepared charges and recruited witnesses.

 John Smith
By the charter no local councillors were named for the colony, but sealed instructions were delivered to Newport, Gosnold, and Ratcliffe, which were to be opened within twenty-four hours of their arrival in Virginia, wherein would be found the names of the persons who had been designated for the council.
It may be that, while the story as given by Smith is false as to detail, Pocahontas, who was at that time twelve or thirteen years of age, was touched with compassion for the captive and induced her father to treat him kindly.
When lie returned to the fort, the rebels Ratcliffe, Archer, and others, who were awaiting trial for conspiracy, united against him, and he would probably have been murdered had he not promised to return to England.

 RatcliffeBlog—Mitch's Open Notebook: Floyd Landis' testosterone levels
Ratcliffe though I respect your opinion and I realize it is frustrating to hear about doping scandals so often but it is clear that your acceptance of Landis' story about drinking comes from a lack of knowledge of the sport.
Posted by: Mitch Ratcliffe at August 1, 2006 07:09 AM My opening phrase was more focused on Landis' presumption of guilt: I was not very clear.
However, I do maintain that the reason why doping is still deeply entrenched in cycling is because of the general public's ignorance of the facts and their lack of interest in putting and end to the problem.
