The First Negroes Brought to vfr-
Cinfa.

TO the Editor OF the Dispatch:
take from paper the following state
ment-viz.: That "A Dutch man-of-war
sailing up the JAMES river landed at
jamestown, Va, and offered for sale
at auction twenty Africans. These were
purchased and made slaves for life.
This was the beginning of the negro prob
lem. The twenty negroes landed at
jamestown In 1870 have increased to $780,
010."
1 do not doubt the first part OF this
statement; suppose 1t Is history. Please
answer in your Query column-are the
100000 negroes who are now in the
United States, ali Of them descendants
of the twenty who landed at jamestown
in 1920? NJ. MLAURINE.
Ballsville, Va
1t has been generally thought that
the first negroes were brought to the
English colony at jamestown In 1919
mot 1920 by Dutch man-of-war. This
is doubtful; but we cannot 30 into the
discussion now.
Negroes were brought here at that time
(and probably before) by the English.
and almost continuously from time to
time thereafter by people OF many ma
tons. and to all parts of our country.
1t Is not certain; in fact, IT is very
doubtful, IL many Of the 100000 negroes
now in the United States descend from
any OF those landed In Virginia In 1913.
