Bad. The colonists were almost all wiped out. When John Rolfe traveled to Jamestown, only about 50 of the origional colonists were left in Jamestown. Most of the colonist had been killed by disease, famine, dehydration, or Native American attacks. The colonists that survived lived in unsanitary conditions, and were starving and sick.
Apparently not as many of them survived.
The population of the Jamestown settlement varied in the 1600's due to several factors, specifically disease, starvation, and poor relations with native Americans. Originally 107 colonists came over to settle the colony. More colonists came over, bringing the total up to 500... but due to poor location and other factors (swampland that had stagnant water, which led to poor health) only 61 of the original settlers survived the winter of 1609-1610, known as "the starving time". After much needed supplies and more settlers arrived from Lord De La Warr (Delaware later named after him in honor of saving Jamestown), the population stabilized and steadily grew. But in 1622, when the population was about 1,000, a surprise attack by the Powhatan tribe slaughtered around a third of the population, and again in 1644.

During Jamestown's first year of being a settlement, only 60 of the original settlers survived. John Smith then took matters into his own hands when he saw the numbers dwindling and brought them back up with the discovery of the cash crop: tobacco. With tobacco, more and more settlers arrived with the desire of growing tobacco crops and owning land beyond belief.

The main purpose for the establishment of Jamestown was for commerce. They were lonely male settlers and very very few females. There were BARELY any women. The introduction of women to Jamestown helped save it. Jamestown as a settlement was also able to increase because of the cultivation of tobacco.ure your intelligence but also express it in a normalized number.
