The colony was now in fair condition, in good health, and contented; and it was believed, though the belief was not well founded, that they would have lasting peace with the Indians. Captain Nelson's ship, the Phoenix, was freighted with cedar wood, and was despatched for England June 8, 1608. Captain Martin, "always sickly and unserviceable, and desirous to enjoy the credit of his supposed art of finding the gold mine," took passage. Captain Nelson probably carried Smith's "True Relation."

With him went Dr. Walter Russell, six gentlemen, and seven soldiers. The narrative of the voyage is signed by Dr. Russell, Thomas Momford, gentleman, and Anas Todkill, soldier. Master Scrivener remained at the fort, where his presence was needed to keep in check the prodigal waste of the stores upon his parasites by President Ratcliffe.

During June 1608, Smith and his crew explored the Potomac up stream to the Little Falls area, just beyond Georgetown (now Washington, D.C.). Smith records the terrain, Indians, bears, deer and other interesting sites along with river.

In 1608, Smith led a small expedition exploring the Chesapeake Bay area (as far north as Baltimore). On their return trip, they also went up the Potomac River (up to Washington, D.C.). Smith almost died while returning to Jamestown; he caught a stingray that stung him and almost killed him. That area of the Rapahannock River is still called Stingray Point. After returning to Jamestown, he set out again to explore more of Chesapeake Bay, mapping much of the area.
Hope that helps.

He was forty years old when he married a 14 year old Indian girl. It is a marriage that would symbolize the unity between the Europe settlers and the American Natives. A medieval Romeo and Juliet that would give the people of that era a romantic view of the two vastly different people. Looking back, we wished the future did turn out the way they viewed it as. A new America with the unity of the west and the natives.
