Henry Sharrow

**Henry Sharrow** is the eldest of the Sharrow brothers. He's one of the earliest men present in the colony, having arrived in 1607 alongside James Read and many others, and, therefore he is one of the Ancients, the first settlers to lay claim to the land of Virginia.

## Personality

Henry is, above all, a diligent and hard-working farmer. The ruthless life conditions he had to endure ever since he arrived in Virginia turned him into a brutal and unfriendly man, suspicious and violent towards outsiders. Despite his authoritarian and domineering attitude towards his younger brothers, Silas Sharrow and Pepper Sharrow, Henry always sacrificed himself for them and he has always been more of a father than a brother to both. Deep down, Henry’s greatest wish is freedom and to be his own master and his pursuit for gold is only a mean to an end.

## Physical Appearance

Henry is a middle-age man with blonde hair and green, sharp, eyes. He’s a man of harsh features. His accident with the boat left him scarred for life with severe burning marks around the left side of his face and body. He became self-conscious of his appearance ever since. Due to his trades with the Indians, Henry adopted part of their clotting and hairstyle.

As the eldest, Henry protected his brothers, Silas and Pepper, during the dark times of Jamestown early history, which were plagued by starvation and sickness. When an illness plagued Jamestown, Henry took his brothers to live near a waterfall for he realized the water was contaminated. It’s implied by Davie that Henry had more brothers but only Silas and Pepper survived. Alongside his brothers, he was a slave to Master Massinger for eight years.

Henry becomes acquainted with his betrothal, Alice Kett, while she eats with his family. He displays himself as an unfriendly man while Silas introduces her. His only remark is they will be married within a week. Later that night, Henry follows Alice down to the lake and attacks her. She pleas him to shop but he rapes her anyway and leaves her alone in the dark. The next morning, the townsfolk gather with Sir George Yeardley, the new governor of Jamestown. While the governor is speaking about building a new world, Henry remarks to his brothers Yeardley came back to Virginia because he’s chasing after the gold. Yeardley announces that the Virginia Company intends to reward those that served the colony from the first day with 100 acres of land to plant and cultivate as they see fit. While Silas and Alice are cleaning their new land and discussing their star-crossed love, Henry interrupts with plans to trade corn with the Indians.

Once they sail down the river, Henry tells Silas the true nature of their enterprise into Indian territory. He informs his brother about Yeardley's expedition nine years ago. In spite of the Indians claiming there is no gold, Henry still believes there is gold in Virginia and that he will find it. Henry says he’ll be his own master once he has the gold in his hands but Silas urges they won’t find it. Meanwhile, Silas tells Henry he wants his own 100 acres to farm but the man replies they will work the land together. Silas demands that Henry can’t treat Alice in such a way and he’ll hurt her no more. Henry says Alice is his to do with her what he pleases. Silas urges himself to beat his older brother but is bested by Henry. He mocks that Silas is not man enough to take Alice. Henry says he’ll sleep in the boat with the provisions for they might be Indians around. That night, Henry catches on fire and the gunpowder in the boat causes it to explode. Silas watches and does nothing to help him. After the new of Henry’s death reach Jamestown, the man wakes up covered in mud and surrounded by Indians.

Henry wakes up and he’s receiving medical care from an Appamattuck woman. While convalescing, Henry dreams of Silas laughing at him. Later, Henry reunites with a man called David McDurran who has been presumed dead for the last four years. Davie learns what happened to Henry. Sharrow calls him a deserter and Davie states he rather live peacefully among the Appamattuck than to starve to death back at Jamestown. Davie asks Henry why he adventured himself so far up the river. Later, Davie asks about Henry’s brothers, that they might want to know their eldest brother is alive. Henry reply there is time.

The next day, Davie observes Henry staring at the Appamattuck women and tells him about an Englishman called Jacob Breerling who raped a girl last year and was tortured to a slowly death by the women. Henry said he lived without a woman for most of his life. Davie claims the same man told him about Lord De La Waar’s return to Jamestown and his possession of the Portuguese map to Virginia’s gold mines. Both men believe each other have such map. When Davie leaves with the other men, Henry searches through his belongings. He doesn’t find the map, but finds a precious rock of gold. However, Matachanna, Davie’s wife, witnesses him leaving the tent and later Davie beats Henry, calling him a thief and a liar, stealing into a man’s home. They get into a fight and the elders urge them to stop. Henry runs into the wilderness. Later, Henry finds a boat but it’s stopped by Davie that agrees that he wouldn’t have been searching through his belongings if he had the map. Henry accepts that Davie doesn’t have the map either, but he does have precious rock. Davie informs they were given to him. Henry says he could just kill him and take his boat but he won’t because he wants to know where the rocks come from.

Davie and Henry sail towards the mountains and Henry asks him why the Indians don’t go after the gold. Davie reveals they believe there are demons in the caves that will curse a man with seven deaths. Henry tells Davie about Newport’s expedition to the mountains in search for gold, for which he took with him two goldsmiths, two refiners and one jeweler. Henry reveals he kept the jeweler alive for nine days when he fell ill and the man drew him a map to the mountains in the dirt and that such image is carved in his mind ever since. While they finally reach landfall, Davie asks why did Henry left Jamestown without Silas Sharrow, to which the man replies he has to get to the gold before Sir George Yeardley does. He believes that Yeardley returned because now he holds a map to the gold. Davie suspects that Henry didn’t travel alone. Later, they discuss the women that arrived at Jamestown and Henry says he has a bride called Alice Kett. Davie remarks that Silas must be taking good care of her and Henry threatens him, saying they will talk about Indians, gold and demons in caves but no one more word about Silas. Meanwhile, Davie has an accident and falls off a cliff. Henry wraps his ankle and helps him back to his feet. They eventually make it to the top of the mountain. Henry and Davie make it to the river and start breaking rocks in hope of finding precious metals. Henry cracks open one of the rocks and discover what he believes to be silver inside. Davie and Henry fill their bags with the metal and discuss their future plans. Davie is to return home to his wife and Henry will return to Jamestown.

Henry returns to his brother, Pepper Sharrow. Henry is impressed by his brothers' work on the farm and Pepper tells him that Silas married Alice. He doesn’t seem surprised. Pepper says the Sharrows will have the best farm in all of Virginia and Henry guarantees everything is about to change for them Henry gathers with Sir George Yeardley, Redwick and Secretary Farlow in front of the townsfolk. He claims to have found silver. Redwick states those riches belong to the crown and, therefore, to the Virginia Company. When Henry asks for Yeardley’s opinion, he states the silver must travel to England to be refined. Henry says the silver ain’t going anywhere and since he’s the one who knows the way to the mountains, it’s his decision and he wants to retrieve the silver and bring it back to everyone in Jamestown. Meredith Rutter quickly aligns himself with Henry. Once they step outside, Henry finds Alice Sharrow but James Read stands on his way and Verity Rutter spits on his face. Rutter immediately apologizes for his wife’s behavior. Henry, Meredith and Pepper visit Christopher Priestley’s apothecary to talk about the silver and the doctor informs them they will need an enormous amount of heat to refine the silver. Meredith suggests James Read for the job. Once they step outside, Mercy believes Henry to be the devil and falls. Henry helps her getting back on her feet. Jocelyn Castell tries to offer him advice but Henry dismisses her. Meanwhile, Henry and his men visit Read’s shop and the blacksmith said they require an oven of clay and brick to have enough heat. James agrees to the task as long as Henry stays away from Alice Kett. Henry agrees but reminds him she’s not a Kett anymore, she’s a Sharrow. While at the tavern, Secretary Farlow sits with Henry. The man informs him that Alice reported the rape and states Henry will need a protector to shelter him from the politics of England. But Henry declines his assistance.

The next day, Alice pulls her dagger on Henry and he tells her he has already been punished for his crime and uses his face as evidence. She slashes his chest and runs away from him. While James Read is building the oven, Henry takes the blade to him and promises he’ll pay for it and asks the oven to be ready today. The governor talks with Henry and tries to talk him out of returning and mining for more silver, since it would be too big of a task for a single individual but Henry points out that the men of Jamestown are more than willing to help. Verity Rutter bashes her husband, Meredith, for keeping company with Henry. Meanwhile, Marshal Redwick says to Henry he’ll face charges for desertion due to his time with the Appamattuck unless he changes his mind concerning the silver. Henry reminds him that he’s the only one that knows the way to the silver and therefore the men of Jamestown would never allow him to face the gallows. Meanwhile, Silas Sharrow returns and tries to make things right with his brother but Henry brushes past him without a word. The governor tries to force Henry out of taking the men to mine for more silver otherwise the farms will suffer. Henry agrees in telling the men he had a map if Edgar Massinger sells one farm to him. Massinger refuses. Later, James Read manages to transform Henry’s metal into a silver coin and the entire town celebrates but the governor is not convinced. Later that night, at the tavern, Yeardley speaks with Henry and says Christopher Priestley will test the metal to verify if it’s truly silver. The next day, the doctor explains how he’ll verify the metal. Mercy causes a fire while making candles and is saved by Henry. The man isn’t able to get out and is rescue by his brother, Silas Sharrow. Mercy then kisses Henry’s cheek and the town cheers for him. Both Christopher and James Read test the metal and Henry’s silver turns out to be antimony. Edgar Massinger and others mock Henry. Silas tries to comfort his brother, however, Henry unleashes all of his anger on him until Read pulls him off.

The next day, Silas Sharrow and Pepper Sharrow find Henry lying on the middle of the ground and take him inside the house. Silas recalls him that he has his own land now and once it’s farmed Henry will get his life back. Being scorn and humiliated before the entire Jamestown broke Henry’s spirit. Later, Alice runs to Henry’s room and tells him that Edgar Massinger is determined to ruin their family but if he stands besides Silas they will get the support of the others plantation owners. She urges that his brothers need him and that she’s pregnant and they are family now. Massinger is threading Silas with a dagger and Henry says that if he harms his brother it will be the last breath he takes. Henry threatens Massinger that if he ever returns to Sharrow lands, he will take his eyes off his head and the man leaves. Before the assembly, Henry gathers the other plantation owners and asks them to stand with the Sharrows. Silas proposes to fix the price of tobacco so that no plantation owner gets more or less profit than his neighbor: 3 shillings a pound for the best leaf tobacco and 18 pennies for the lesser crops.  Massinger opposites stating that no man alive can tell him how much his tobacco is worth. Silas replies it’s not any man it’s the collective of the assembly. Henry proposes a vote and the majority supports the Sharrow’s proposal and the tobacco price is fixed. Back at home, Henry and his family harvest the tobacco. Silas shows Henry his land and insists his debt has been repaid.

Henry Sharrow and Silas Sharrow trade with the Pamunkey. Henry asks Silas to fetch wood for they will sleep there for the night. The next morning and on their way back to Jamestown, they find Samuel Castell’s corpse by the river bank and bring him back to the settlement. While Silas and Henry brand their hides of late, Redwick storms in and wonders if it were the Indians who killed Samuel. Henry states that the man drowned and he isn’t the first man to misjudge the river. Secretary Farlow agrees with the Marshal and remarks that the Indians pretend to be at peace with the settlement. Silas disagrees for they knew Castell to be a friend who spoke several times in their behalf. Redwick remarks the amount of cargo the brothers acquired and Farlow frowns upon Henry’s appearance. He claims the Indians to trust in what they know and trust is good for trade. While Henry is about to leave, Redwick warns him not to became too trusty with the Indians. Silas runs into Verity Rutter who urges him to go home and meet his child. Henry asks her if Alice is well and Verity nods she will be. While Alice is asleep, Henry holds the babe in his arms. Alice awakes and states the child is not his, to which the man replies it’s not hers as well for it belongs to the entire colony, the firstborn from the maids that came one year ago. He also states he built a crib for his nephew. During the meeting of the burgesses, Sir George Yeardley informs they have a traitor amongst them. The governor reveals he received news from England that a secret message from Spain was intercepted. The Count of Gondomar, Ambassador to England, believes that Jamestown negros were stolen from Spain by privateers and sold illegally. King Philip of Spain calls Jamestown a nest of pirates. Yeardley proceeds in telling an informer has been place in their midst, a Catholic spy bought by Gondomar’s gold, and they need to expose the traitor before he provides information about their defenses and Spain invades. After Silas and Alice’s child christening, Henry tells his brother it is time for him to find a wife.

While Silas and Alice chat, Henry interrupts and tells his brother that they need to trade more with the Pamunkey before the ships leave. Once they arrive, they try to trade with Opechancanough, but Chacrow has been talking to the king and he asks for the Sharrows to place all their good before him. Henry asks if they offended the King and why he wishes to change the way they trade after all this time. Openchacanough orders them to place the goods before them, they will choose what they want and give them a fair price. Chacrow reminds them that if they refuse the King there are more Englishmen that seek their favor and kindness. Silas urges Henry to do as the King wishes. Chacrow proceeds in telling them the Sharrows are always welcome but asks what would happen if they refused them. Henry claims they have no reason to refuse trade with them. Chacrow replies he only wishes they value their alliance.

As they return to Jamestown, Henry shares his worry that the mariners will steal their cargo and implies some might have killed Samuel Castell for witnessing their smuggling. Silas says they shouldn’t worry themselves with Castell’s death and Henry states he changed for not so long ago his was the fair conscience of all Jamestown. Silas states he remains the same. Henry says tobacco is also known to disappear from the ships and therefore they’ll search down the river tomorrow at dawn to investigate if theirs were stolen. At dawn, Silas and Henry sail down the river looking for smugglers. Henry witnesses men loading stolen cargo and fires at them. They chase after them and a man named Morrow takes Verity Rutter hostage. Henry asks him if he would kill a woman, and pretends to walk back to the river. Verity urges him not to leave her for the man will kill her. Silas sneaks up from behind and slice his arm with an axe, then punches the man several times in the face. The Sharrow brothers bring Verity and Morrow back to Jamestown. Redwick interrogates him but the man can’t speak. Secretary Farlow says that Henry Sharrow claims this man murdered Samuel Castell because he disturbed his illegal dealings. Farlow executes the man by pouring molten lead down his throat. Silas seems troubled for using his axe on the man, but Verity says she’s nothing but grateful. Henry says the difference between them is that he knows he’s a beast.

Silas and Henry learn about the new tax: from now on they will need a license. They are not happy and Henry remarks it’s to rob them of their profits. Sir George Yeardley reveals his intentions to expand. Silas recalls they made a promise to the Pamunkey to honor the boundaries they agreed upon. Redwick states they lie every day. Silas recalled that, when they starved, it was the Pamunkey who fed them. The governor says their loyalty is to Englishmen and urges them to take an oath not to reveal their discussions to anyone outside that room. Meanwhile, Alice Sharrow’s babe is gone and she urges to tell her family. She talks about Chacrow’s visit and Henry asks if he took the baby, to which Alice says he did. Henry says Silas they have to go to the Pamunkey camp. And if Chacrow took the babe to adopt him they have to trade, but if it was made as an insult, they have to fight. Silas tells Henry that Chacrow helped search for him on the mountains and therefore Opechancanough believes he owes a debt to the Pamunkey. He informs Henry that they wanted him to serve as a spy in Jamestown but he refused. Pepper Sharrow also wants to go but Silas throws him off board and Henry says he isn’t ready and Silas asks him to look after Alice. While they spy the Pamunkey camp, Silas asks Henry if he believes the child to be his. Henry asks if he believes that and Silas remarks that question will always remain between them. Henry says they are there to bring Alice’s boy back home. They both search the camp but are unable to find the baby. Later on, Henry and Silas find Yeardley’s party. Henry thanks them but recalls it’s a Sharrow business. Redwick states that relations with the Pamunkey are Jamestown businesses. Silas says he won’t allow them to use his child as a reason to go to war with the Pamunkey. The marshal claims he only wishes for the babe to be found. Henry informs they have been watching the village and don’t know if the child is there. Meanwhile, they are ambush by Pamunkey warriors and take before the king. Opechancanough says he doesn’t know where the child is and asks what the English will give in return if he does find him. The king makes clear he doesn’t trust English promises anymore for his people go among them never to return. Yeardley threatens the king and says that if the Sharrow child is not returned, they will declare war. Later, the child eventually is returned by Chacrow to the Sharrow family.

Henry and Winganuske are married within the Pamunkey tradition by Chacrow, her brother. After the wedding, Henry brings his new wife back to Jamestown. Later that night, Henry remains outside and Winganuske sits beside him and asks him why he’s not sharing his wife’s bed. He confesses his worry that she might find his face ugly. Winganuske nods she does but also wants to know his body. Henry says he wants to be kind to her. The next day, Redwick and Sir George Yeardley come to Henry’s farm to congratulate him on his marriage. They believe his wedding might be used to their advantage to persuade Chacrow to aid them in their expansionist purposes. Henry claims they do not know the Pamunkey and he will not betray his wife’s brother. Yeardley recalls every man first allegiance is to England. While they walk in the wood, Chacrow asks Henry how likes being married to his sister. He replies she knows her way around the dark. Chacrow says they will call him “Leaping Henry”. Henry asks him about his wife’s previous bedfellows and Chacrow explain it’s common for Pamunkey women to gain practice to please their husbands. Henry asks if these men who bedded Winganuske are present there and Chacrow mocks him and the other Pamunkey warriors laugh. Henry is not so pleased and promises Silas that no man laughs at him and triumphs.

Later, Henry tells Redwick he’ll do as the governors asks and will bait Chacrow into betraying his own people. Redwick remarks that’s a stark change of heart and implies Chacrow betrayed Henry. He promises that one day Henry will know his sword. Later, they go into the Pamunkey village. Redwick says the governor is so pleased with Winganuske wedding to one of Jamestown’s farmers that he wishes to set a new way of trade: the English will give them treasures and they shall pay for them in some time in the future. The plan is to deceit the King into debt until he cannot possibly pay it. Henry replies it’s due to their certainty in their alliance, thanks to Chacrow. Redwick claims it’s what the English call “temporary kidness” and that Opechancanough is known to be a man of honor and, therefore, will not fail the settlers. The kings says he doesn’t understand “temporary kindness” but will accept their gifts. Later, Chacrow visits Jamestown and brings several young men with him as a gift from Opechancanough to Sir George Yeardley. He says the boys will labor in their farm for an entire year. The king wishes to follow Yeardley’s new way of trade and Yeardley will pay for the workers in some other time. Or these workers might count as a balance for the tribute the governor gave to the king. Chacrow says they have Henry to thank for this bond of honor.  Yeardley speaks with Silas and Henry and screams they were betrayed for someone told Opechancanough about their plan. Henry says it’s useless to accuse the Sharrow for they explained the Pamunkey ways. Redwick suspects Winganuske and Henry guarantees she’s innocent. Yeardley say they have to continue their battle of cunning until the day comes when they’ll be able to conquer them. The next day, Silas confesses to Henry he was the one who told Chacrow. The two men fight. Silas bests Henry and puts an axe near his throat. Henry asks Silas to kill him. Silas says he told Chacrow because he had to and not to ask why he told the truth but for Henry to ask himself why he turned traitor on the people who saved his life.

Secretary Farlow visits the Sharrow farm alongside his new companion, Simeon Peck, and ask for several items for Simeon’s experiment. Alice Sharrow states what Farlow really wishes for is the cinnabar. Henry says that if they believe in fool’s wonders, they might as well pay well. Silas tells Henry that their fight was necessary but he still respects him as the older brother. Henry replies it’s not how it is for Silas bested him and therefore he will serve him. Meanwhile, Henry and Silas go to trade with Chacrow. The Pamunkey warrior makes it clear that he doesn’t trust in Henry anymore. After Chacrow leaving, Henry recalls Silas the Pamunkey will come after him. Later, the Sharrow receive a letter informing that their tobacco was seized by Dutch privateers. Since Governor Yeardley’s cargo was not lost, they decide to rebel against the governor. They storm the town and ask for the aid of other farmers. Redwick interrupts their gathering and asks if Henry would shoot his musket in Jamestown. Henry replies he wants to know why the Sharrow tobacco was lost in sea while Yeardley’s was not. Secretary Farlow remarks that’s a petition for the House of Burgesses. Meanwhile, the bells ring and call everyone for a emergency gathering with the governor. Yeardley informs them the Spanish can invade Jamestown at any time. Later, Henry remarks it is curious for the governor to have such news when he has an uprising at his doorstep. The next day, Henry and Silas run into Yeardley and assure him they are loyal to Virginia. Henry points that after dealing the Spanish they will ask their governor what happened to their cargo lost at sea. Meanwhile, Henry and Silas are at James Read’s shop when Edgar Massinger passes by with Mercy. Silas says he wouldn’t wish blindness on any man, not even Massinger. Verity Rutter states he would for Massinger said to her he would anything in his power to prevent the Sharrow from prospering. Silas proposes that Massinger arranged with the captain of the Royal Moon for their tobacco to be lost. Henry decides they need to confront him. While Mercy is feeding Massinger, Silas and Henry came from behind her and force her to move. They confront the man with violence until Sir George Yeardley interrupts them. Yeardley asks Redwick to take Massinger to the garrison and threatens the Sharrow brothers with his sword. Meanwhile, Chacrow visits Jamestown to speak with Silas. Henry warns his brother that speaking Pamunkey in town might bring suspicious over him.

Henry and Silas Sharrow decide to take Massinger’s slaves as repayment for their stolen tobacco. Marshal Redwick and Secretary Farlow warn them against it but the Sharrow brothers refuse to listen. Alice Sharrow is displeased when they bring the slaves to the Sharrow plantation. Later, Henry becomes upset with one of the slaves and pushes the man to the ground. Alice scolds him as a brute and makes it clear that she will never forgive him for raping her. Meanwhile, Maria escapes and Sir George Yeardley quickly sets a searching party and tells to the Sharrows if they find her he will favor their claim on Massinger’s slaves. Silas and Henry search the woods for Maria. Henry returns home and learns that Alice is hiding Maria. Alice tries to stop him. Before he can get to her, Maria escapes through the window. Henry is by the river when he spots James Read's boat. He becomes suspicious and asks about what’s in James’ boat. Read says he has food, provision and weapons. Henry demands him to come closer but the blacksmith denies, stating he won’t have Henry searching on his boat. While Pedro and Maria attempt to return to Yeardley's farm, they run into Henry. He puts them in chains and drags them into town to deliver them to the governor. As a reward, Yeardley allows the Sharrows to keep Massinger’s slaves. Yeardley brands Maria's face. Alice confronts Henry with his cruel action. He tells her he’s a man beyond salvation and if she believes she can’t be tainted by Jamestown she’s mistaken.

Alice tells Silas that the governor wants to take more land from the Pamunkey. Silas tells her that he will not talk to Chacrow about it. Henry Sharrow recalls the land they own now was once Pamunkey. Alice tells Henry she doesn’t want him on her and Silas’ farm. At Henry’s farm, Henry asks Winganuske if she loves him. She swears she’ll be a good wife. He tells her she’s a Sharrow now and that’s all that matters. Later on, Jocelyn’s farm gets burned to the ground. In the morning, James Read shows that he has found Pamunkey items in the field. Yeardley and Redwick waste no time in blaming the natives for the fire. Meanwhile, Christopher Priestley informs them that Silas has been giving information to the Pamunkey. James overhears and urges the Sharrows to go. They barricade in the Sharrow’s farm and fire at the marshal. Alice helps Silas escape and tells him to ask for help within the Pamunkey. Henry is taken before the court of Jamestown and asked to bring back his brother to Jamestown in order for him to face justice. He agrees. Alice confronts him outside. Henry tells her that he’ll take her to Silas and she’ll choose if she wishes to live with her husband or in Jamestown. Meanwhile, Henry, Alice and Winganuske arrive at the Pamunkey village. Silas is fully integrated in their community. Alice says she will live there with him but Silas rejects her and asks her to go back to Jamestown and forget about him. Silas asks Henry to take Alice back.

<tabber>

Henry and Winganuske take care of their baby girl, Virginia. James Read arrives and Alice Sharrow asks him what news. Henry says there are no news for her but Alice demands to know the truth. James reveals he saw Silas and that he’s Pamunkey now. James says Silas wants to meet with Henry. Alice wants to go along but Henry disagrees because the mere sight of her would be a torment for Silas. Alice says she wants Silas back but James recalls her of Silas’ betrayal of Jamestown. But Alice won’t give up so easily. Back in Jamestown, the assembly is joined to talk about Silas. Thomas Redwick accuses him of making a heathen of himself and living like a beast. Yeardley asks Henry about Silas. Henry doesn’t give them a clear answer. Farlow Nicholas asks if his daughter will soon to be baptized but Henry doesn’t answer either. Yeardley asks Henry to pass on a message to the Pamunkey: since Silas stands in the way of the settlement’s Christian purposes, he shall have his head on a spike. The next day, the Sharrows go to meet with Silas. However, they were followed by Redwick and a militia. Henry and Pepper go find the men and ask Winganuske and Alice to stay still. Pepper Sharrow and Henry fight the militia and they are forced to leave. At the Sharrow Hundred, Pepper wants to take revenge against Farlow because he stroke Mercy. Henry gives him a weapon and says it’s his choice to make. Meanwhile, Alice tells Henry that she must leave.Henry rides to the Pamunkey village and tells Silas Alice is returning to England.

At the Sharrow Hundred, Henry wakes up because baby Virginia is crying. He notices the baby is sick and cradles her, promising her father will always be there. Henry is playing with his daughter when Chacrow arrives and says it is time for Winganuske to take the baby to the Pamunkey village so she will be raised by the women. Henry says he respects the Pamunkey way but he wants his daughter to stay with him because she’s a Sharrow first. Winganuske promises she’ll give him another child but Virginia but must be with her for the first years. Henry says his decision is final and the baby girl will stay. At night fall, Winganuske runs to Henry and says Virginia is sick once again. Pepper Sharrow says the fever has returned. Winganuske says they must take the baby to a Pamunkey healer. Henry says they will take the child to Christopher Priestley in Jamestown and asks Pepper to prepare the horses. They arrive at the apothecary. Henry says the baby has been taken ill with fever. Winganuske insists they must take the child to the Pamunkey but Henry dismisses her. He tells the baby has been sick for two days and doesn’t stop crying in pain. Christopher says the baby has an ague and must be bled with leeches. Winganuske is reluctant but Henry is sure the doctor will heal the baby. The Sharrows are leaving the apothecary and Winganuske stops, terrified, and points at Willmus, blaming him for placing the evil on her baby. Henry approaches Willmus and explains. Willmus says he’ll remove himself from her sight so Henry can pacify her.

At Jamestown, Henry is making a toy for Virginia. Pepper says Winganuske wants Chacrow and a sorcerer to heal the baby. Henry says he must make his own decisions in life. Mercy and Jocelyn approach them. Mercy asks how Henry can allow pagan rituals in Jamestown. Henry says it’s only to comfort his wife. Jocelyn says they could seize the opportunity to show the natives the superiority of their medicine and why they must convert to Christianity. Henry is not amused by Jocelyn seeing politics in his child’s sickness and tells Pepper to go fetch Chacrow. Meanwhile, Pepper arrives with Chacrow and a Pamunkey healer. But Christopher comes outside his apothecary to tell Henry and Winganuske that their baby has died. At the Sharrow Hundred, Henry wants to bury his baby girl there. Winganuske says the child died because he offended the spirits. Chacrow tells Henry the child must be buried at the Pamunkey village with all the proper rituals. But Henry digs the grave and says Virginia is a Sharrow. Back at Jamestown, Henry confronts Christopher. The doctor says he never promised the child would live and perhaps the native medicine would have saved her. Henry says he never again wants to feel the doctor’s measly eyes upon him. Henry walks away but is stopped by Meredith Rutter with Tamlin Appleday, who presents the boy as his son. Henry tells him that his true son was three years old when he died while Rutter was getting drunk at the alehouse. Henry, Pepper and Winganuske arrive to the Pamunkey village to give a proper burial to Virginia. At the Pamunkey village, a funeral is being held for Virginia. The women wail in pain. Henry eventually joins them to mourn his dead daughter.

At the Sharrow Hundred, Mercy returns Virginia’s toy to Henry. He tells Mercy to keep the toy for her own babes because Virginia loved the dirt and that’s how he’ll remember her. hristopher goes to face Henry. Henry says he won’t blame the doctor for his daughter’s death because it was he who insisted on treating Virginia with English medicine. However, Christopher was the one who informed Yeardley about Silas dealings with the Pamunkey therefore he’ll never be a friend to the Sharrows. Chacrow arrives and says Winganuske will return to Henry and give him more children. Henry asks Chacrow to deliver a message to Silas: "do no harm, wait".

Mercy goes to the Sharrow Hundred and tells Pepper about the golden horse so he might be the one to catch it. However, it's Henry that goes after the animal. Meanwhile, Silas arrives at the Sharrow Hundred with the golden horse. Later, Henry and Pepper go to confront Redwick. Henry talks about how family comes before everything else and says he wants his brother, Silas, return to their farm. Redwick says the scar upon his cheek commands that Silas must be face justice. Pepper recalls Silas did it in self-defense. Henry says Redwick values glory and pride above all and proposes he should deliver Silas’ to Yeardley as his own prisoner in exchange for a pardon. The whole town would see Redwick as the man who caught the “deserter”. Pepper says Silas would be baptized anew and show submission to the governor. Redwick says Yeardley would never allow it. Henry tells he will persuade him with the gift of the golden horse. James Read goes to the Sharrow Hundred. He tells Henry that he wants to speak with Silas. Henry pretends he doesn’t know about his brothers’ whereabouts but James knows he’s there. He asks about the golden horse and recalls how he helped the Sharrows when Silas’ life was in danger. However, Henry dismisses him. However, James Read is able to steal the horse. Henry and Pepper arrive to retrieve the horse. James says it belongs to Maria. Henry informs that the horse will allow Silas to return to the farm and be hunted no more. Pedro recalls it was Henry who delivered them to the governor so he might put a brand upon her cheek. Maria, however, chooses to give the horse back to the Sharrows.

Meanwhile, Winganuske returns to Henry. He promises he'll be a good husband and she says she’ll bring him children. Henry shows Winganuske the bed he purchased for them. She tells him that she returned because her king commanded her to. Henry says he wants her by his side but if she doesn’t want to because of Virginia’s death he won’t stop her from leaving. She reveals Opechancanough changed his name. This raises suspicion for Henry because Pamunkey change names for a reason. At Sharrow Hundred, Henry asks Silas what if before he left the Pamunkey he heard any talking about Opechancanough changing his name. Silas recalls Henry that he has a Pamunkey wife and will have Pamunkey children so he better keep peace with them. Henry asks Silas where he is going. Silas says that he’ll choose his future.

At the Sharrow Hundred, Chacrow scolds Winganuske for telling Henry about Opechancanough changing his name and tells her she needs to learn how to hold her tongue. Henry stands up for his wife. Chacrow says Winganuske knows that she must always obey her brother because that’s the Pamunkey way. Henry recalls she’s married to an Englishman and asks what Chacrow is doing in Jamestown. Chacrow recalls the Pamunkey are been giving learning from the English in exchange for their labor. Henry doesn’t believe that’s the reason why Chacrow is there. Winganuske tries to calm things down and Silas stands up for Chacrow. The next day, Henry tells Pepper Sharrow to go trade with the Pamunkey and to quietly investigate why Chacrow is in Jamestown.

Near Jamestown, Henry witnesses a Pamunkey captain named Nematanu (also known as Jack the Feather) walking by. He reports back to Redwick and Yeardley. The governor says Jack is a daring fellow who has stolen weapons from the settlement many times before. Henry asks Chacrow why Jack was dressed for war. Chacrow informs a Pamunkey woman was killed by other Indians and she must be avenged. Chacrow says Nematanu wants the governor to help him. Redwick declines, saying there are not in Virginia to solve petty squabbles between savages. Yeardley says they want peace with all the tribes therefore the Pamunkey can’t expect the English to help them in such matters. Chacrow promises he’ll give the governor’s reply to Nematanu. Yeardley and Redwick leave and Henry asks Chacrow to tell Nematanu to meet him in his farm but Chacrow refuses. Nematanu lies dead on the ground and Chacrow arrives with Henry. Henry asks why he would try to steal an English maid. Chacrow says that if the Pamunkey wanted a war they would not send a man alone. Silas tells him about Nematanu’s last words: he wishes the Pamunkey never to know how he died because he told them the feathers would protect him from muskets. Chacrow buries Nematanu. Henry warns him about what Opechancanough would do if he discovered that Chacrow buried a Pamunkey killed by the English. A mariner chases after Maria in order to murder her. She’s saved by the Sharrows when Henry shots the man. The Sharrows arrive to Jamestown with the mariner’s corpse. Redwick doesn’t recognize the dead man. Silas implies Yeardley does but the governor denies. Henry informs the man was pursuing Maria and wanted to kill her. The governor asks Maria why the man was chasing her and she fakes ignorance.

At the Sharrow Hundred, Chacrow talks to Winganuske when he’s interrupted by Henry Sharrow. Chacrow tells Henry that Winganuske must visit the Pamunkey village. She reveals she’s pregnant. Henry eventually accepts to take her to her village but Chacrow says no. Henry realizes something’s wrong. Chacrow walks away. Henry tells Yeardley that Opechancanough has changed his name to Mangopeesomon and it can be a war name so the governor should investigate. Yeardley, however, dismisses the idea because the Pamunkey have been defeated by trade and assimilation. Henry tells Yeardley the Pamunkey are a proud nation and warns him about his arrogance. At the Sharrow Hundred, Henry and Pepper discuss the Pamunkey wish for war. Henry says they must prepare. Pepper trusts Winganuske would warn them but Henry is not so certain. Later, Henry witnesses as Winganuske leaves his farm. Later, Chacrow takes Christopher to the Sharrow Hundred and warns Henry and Silas about the attack and tells them to go to Jamestown. Winganuske returns to Henry and says he’s her family now. The Sharrows are returning to Jamestown when they run into Willmus Crabtree. Henry warns him about the attack. They are surrounded by Pamunkey warriors. Willmus decides to sacrifice himself for the others to escape back to the settlement. James Read and Jocelyn Castell prepare to leave when Henry warns them about the Pamunkey attack and they run back to Jamestown. The gates of the settlement are closed and locked.
