An understanding reached between Powhatan and John Smith led the settlers to establish a trade with Powhatan’s tribe by 1608. Though fights still broke out between the groups, the Native traded corn for beads, metal tools and other objects including weapons from the English, who would depend on this trade for food in the colony’s beginning years. After Smith returned to England in late 1609, the members of Jamestown suffered through a harsh winter,  which more than 100 of them died in. In the spring of 1610,  just as the remaining colonists were about to abandon Jamestown, two ships arrived to supply at least 150 new settlers, a decent amount of supplies and the new English governor of the colony, Lord De La Warr

The new settlement initially consisted of a wooden fort built in a triangle around a storehouse for supplies, a church and a couple of houses. By the summer of 1607, Newport went back to England with two ships to give a report to the king and to gather more supplies and colonists. The settlers left behind suffered from hunger and illness, as well as the constant threat of attack by members of local tribes, most were organized into a kind of empire under Chief Powhatan

Around 100 colonists left England in December 1606 on three ships and reached Chesapeake Bay by April. After forming a council the group searched for a settlement site. On May 14, 1607, they landed on a narrow peninsula–in the James River, where they would start their lives in the New World

in 1607 roughly 100 people from England came to the new world to become the first permanent English settlement in North America. Diseases and conflict with the local Natives brought Jamestown to the brink of destruction until they were saved by new colonists and the start of tobacco. Natives were peaceful in the time following Pocahontas' marriage to John Rolfe.
