The 106 men who arrived to form Jamestown in 1607 were mainly there for adventure and to find wealth. They were a group who knew little about how to form a settlement or the prepare for the conditions they would find. The site they chose to build the fort was very poor with bad water and disease carrying insects. Within 6 months after their arrival the mistakes they made in not planting crops, the bad water and disease had killed over half of the men who arrived on the first ship.

The settlers of Roanoke Island disappeared in 1590, and England's next attempt to establish a colony in Virginia occurred in 1607 with the founding of Jamestown. Therefore, approximately 17 years passed between the disappearance of the Roanoke settlers and England's renewed efforts to establish a colony in the Americas.
Who were the first people to live in a new place in Jamestown?
The first settlers in Jamestown in 1607 were artisans and craftsmen but also families and others who wanted to find riches or simply a larger plot of land in British America. Its named after King James 1st of England. They were sent by the London Company (later the Virginia Company) to try and establish a settlement after previous failed attempts at Ranoke among others. Polish and Dutch craftsmen were introduce in 1608 to help the colony. Under the inspiring leadership of John Smith and John Rolfe (who later married Pocahuntus and introduced the first successful cash crop, tobacco, to America) Jamestown just managed to survive. These people were not the Pilgrims; they lived in Massachusetts not Virginia. These people were simply looking for new life and were offered it by a bunch of business men.
