The Ship's list of the George shows immigration 1619 of Dr. John and Mrs Sarah Woodson. to the Jamestown Colony. The1622 post-massacre census of Jamestown shows six black Americans present in their household. Listed as "Negars", with no names assigned to them, these are 6 of 21 black Americans total then living in the colony; One more is found among the post-massacre dead. They hold in their entries the often [incorrectly] cited historical precedent for black American residence in the new world footnote 1. What they more likely are is among the group of first black Americans of known origin in what would become the United States. Whether or not they were slaves or indentures [as most historians purport] is the subject of this page.
