In my opinion and the some i have learned, i would assume that the soil was relatively moist. Afterall, Jamestown was run into the ground by the fact that they were too near to a "swamp" because of their river-side settlement. This later-lead to a plague given to them by mosquitoes. To get back on the subject, in the main area of Jamestown, the soil was more than likely moist or even very moist due to the location.
