From Captain Thomas Nuce we learn that Captain John Huddleston was with him on page 455 in the book 'Records of the Virginia Company'. Captain John Nuce was in charge of the 4 first Germans of Jamestown who were building sawmills. From William Bradford's 'Of Plymoth' we learn that Captain John Huddleston's letter arrived on the Swan after the Jamestown Massacre because it was a warning for the Pilgrims of Plymouth, Massachussetts. On page 375 we find that Captain John Huddleston met Captain Thomas Nuce and his wife Grace at the ship. From records of the Bona Nova we find Captain John Huddleston was delivering supplies that Captain thomas Nuce needed. On page 455 in Captain Thomas Nuce's letter to Sir Edwin Sandy's Nuce writes that Sandys has been decieved by Captain John Huddleston and Nuce calls Captain John Huddleston a dissembling companion. (I am still trying to figure this deception. Evidently the deception is not great for Nuce writes to Sandys to keep this information private.) We learn that Captain John Huddleston was in Virginia in May 27, 1621 and his commission to sail to Virginia was in November 21, 1621. Since the Bona Nova's first trip landed in Pasbehay in 1618; it seems reasonable that there was a commission per trip. From the 'Records of the Virginia Company we learn the iron works were near iron works and we can assume that is how they made the iron works. From Chesterfield County information we find that Chesterfield was originally part of Henrico. In the Pasbehay landing they were building guesthouses and the later trip Captain thomas Nuce was building houses. We learn from the Plymouth site they were building a fort in Plymouth when the letter was received. Captain Thomas Nuce's letter to Sir Edwin Sandy was from Elizabeth City where the iron works were being built before the Massacre. A small girl and a small boy were the only two survivors and they survived because they hid. Their identity is unknown at the present time. John Berkeley was sent to build the iron works by the London company.
