 A new charter given to the colony was step forward in securing to each individual who earned 1t a share of the land for their very own. thus re- moving great sense of dissatisfac- lion. and the Hundreds" as the lands were called came rapidly into the hands of actual owners. But little is recorded of those brave pioneers. Like the great brotherhood who have carved the United States out of forest and desert, they were workers. not writ CTS, and outside of few officials and the meagre traditions of their descen1- ants, they are practically unknown. A few names. however. are to be found in the general obscurity. Of these are the Perse's Piersy's, Pierces or Pearces, names as in the spelling.
 They were all probably relatives of or descendants of that Thomas Percy, Earl of Northumberland. who was beheaded in 1572 by Queen Elizabeth for his loyalty to the unfortunate Mary Stuart. Many of his family were imprisoned. or fled, and Virgin la. was general place of refuge; Many such exiles came to 1t then. and later.
 One of these was Capt George Percy. native of Sussex. England, who was one of the London adventurers. his name being in the list of those pre-. sent at the Quarter Court of the Conn pany in London. With a relative, Thomas Sexton. he came to Virginia in 1909 and from his log cabin in James City. wrote a long account of the place to relatives In England. Sexton after ward went to St. Mary's Parish, tMd..) Church of St. Inigoes. Captain George was several times left in charge Of government of Virginia while the act ing Governors were abeent and Lord Deleware comments him as Honor. able and Resolute." A handsome por' ttons of the Virginia Historical So. ciety. He was the son and brother of the Earls of Northumberland.
 A Robert Percy came over in the Bonaventure in 1884. He was Mar shal at the General Assembly in 1887 and lived later at Kent Island. when he appears in a protest against the Percy came over in 1885. She was probably wife of Robert. A Richard Percy was shipped as prisoner to Vir- ginia or the Barbadoes In 1879. He Is mentioned as being at Kingsmills
 There was Capt. William Pearce. whose descendants now living claim that he was a Percy with considerable basis. as such things go. He was an ''antient planter" in 1920. Captain of the Governors Guard and Comman- der of James City, also member of the Legislative Council. Later he was sent to England for trial on account of his adherence to the interests of the colonies His wife, who was probably the Mrs. Perse who went to England in 1923 with Lady Wyatt, was a most notable housekeeper. and wrote to friends in London that with her gar- den and orchard she could live much better in Virginia on 150 pounds a year than she could in England. IL was the daughter Jane, of this couple. who be- came the second wife of John Rolfe and founded the Virginia family. Pc. cahontas. his first wife. left no cnil- dren.
