Jamestown was not founded by one person, it was joint-stock chartered. A bunch of men would put "stock" [money] into sending men to the New World to find resources such as gold. If the settlement worked out, then the joint-stock owners would get more money.

The settlers were mostly young folks who had fulfilled the terms of their indentured servitude in the Virginia colony and set off through the wilderness to the wild shores of the Albemarle Sound in the mid-17th century. This was before the charter for the Carolina colony had been granted to the Lords Proprietors, meaning that the settlement was out of reach of any authority in its first years. It tended to attract "rogues" ( at least as they were described by the wealthy planters and traders in Virginia) who preferred to live outside the reach of authority,
started in Virginia and ended in Yorktown
The settlement of Virginia was organised by the Virginia Company which was set up by royal charter in 1606. The company comprised mostly businessmen, wealthy gentlemen and politicians. The aim of the Virginia Company stockholders was financial profit -they hoped to exploit the wealth of the new land, in particular they hoped for gold and silver in similar quantities to those found by the Spanish in South America.

In West Virginia, there is no specific set time limit to settle an estate. The timeline for estate settlement can vary depending on the complexity of the estate, any challenges or disputes that arise, and court schedules. It is best to consult with an attorney to ensure that the estate settlement process is handled efficiently and in compliance with state laws.
The Pilgrims were English settlers who established the Plymouth Colony in Massachusetts in 1620. They were seeking religious freedom and a better life in the New World. The Pilgrims celebrated the first Thanksgiving with the Native Americans in 1621.
