What did john smith take control of?

John Smith? Maybe you mean Joseph Smith. Joseph Smith was the first modern prophet of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints (commonly called Mormons). He didn't take over from anyone, he was the first. Technically, Joseph Smith took over from the ancient apostle, Simon Peter, who was with Christ in His ministry. This is why it was Peter, along with James and John, appeared to Joseph Smith and who conferred the rights of the Melchizedek Priesthood Keys upon the head of Joseph Smith, because they passed what they then held in their own possession at Joseph's time, upon him.

What was it like to live in Jamestown long ago?

They built homes along the the Jame River and named the colony Jamestown. The area was swampy and before long disease was being speared by mosquitoes. Governing the colony was difficult because many people quarreled and did little plan for the future. People recognized that the colonists were not planting enough crops. Soon food ran out. Captain John Smith set up very strict rules for the colony that required them to work. However when the Indians refused to help the colonist they would attack and take what ever they want from them. When Smith left the colony suffered without his leadership. The Jamestown began to grow tobacco and the colony finally to prosper.

I have Pocahontas because she saved the leader John Smith. Lastly I have Chief Powhatan because he agreed with his daughter and to spare his life.

How was Jamestown ruled?

Jamestown was governed by the military. The 104 men sent to VA were there to find gold and not settle. Investors sent them to make a profit, but of the 104 who arrived within 6 months only 34 were alive. On the second ship Captain John Smith arrived to take over command of the fort built on the James River. He found a dying colony and began to ration food. This made him very unpopular and soon after an attempt was made on his life. Gun powder was sprinkled on him while he slept and set on fire. He was made to go home for medical treatment for his burns.
