Sir Raleigh Gilbert 
General Notes
Humphrey Gilbert's son Raleigh Gilbert followed his father into the plantation business when in 1606 he was one of several aristocrats who secured a new "Letters Patent" from King James I. This grant anticipated two colonial enterprises – the London Colony and the Plymouth Colony.
Having reconnoitred the coast at a safe distance from the Spanish fortress at San Agustin, the London Colony's three vessels entered Chesapeake Bay in May, 1607. The one hundred or so adventurers honoured the king by naming their settlement Jamestown.
In August of the same year a ship of Raleigh Gilbert's Plymouth or Popham colony arrived in what is now the state of Maine. Here the would-be settlers built a fort named for St George on a wooded peninsula by the Kennebec River. But unprepared as they were for the harsh winter and with Gilbert himself abandoning the adventure to claim his inheritance in England the disillusioned survivors returned home with him.
