I hope you didn't circle Smith because the answer below is wrong. Smith came on the second ship and wasn't there very long. He was hated and gun powder was sprinkled on him and set on fire while he slept. He had to return home to have the burns taken care of. Smith later lied in a book about his part in Jamestown.
