On the first voyage to Jamestown in 1607, there were approximately 12 women among the 104 settlers. While the majority of the expedition consisted of men, the inclusion of women was significant for establishing families and a permanent settlement. The presence of women helped to ensure the social structure of the colony as it developed.

What are tobacco brides?

In the early 1600's, the settlers at Jamestown were almost all men. To make the settlement permanent, they needed women to marry and have children to colonize the new land.
