Kieran Doherty Quote
At about the same time that Sir Stephen visited Smythe, William Strachey formalized his intention to go to Virginia by agreeing to buy two company shares for £25. Given his financial problems, Strachey almost certainly had to borrow the money to make his investment, perhaps from his brother-in-law, Edmund Bowyer, who invested in the company a year later. In any case, Strachey’s name appears on the list of investors included in the charter—investors King James called his trustie and welbeloved subjects. Sir Stephen’s name is also listed in the charter, as a member of the Counsell for the said Companie of Adventurers and Planters in Virginia, though he is misidentified in the document as Sir Stephen Poole.25
