Brief Life History of Sarah Hacker on FamilySearch.org (Website) Domein: www.FamilySearch.org |
|
Sarah Hacker was born in England about 1585. She married John Rolfe of England sometime before June 1609. The young couple made the adventurous decision to become settlers in the new colony of Virginia. They set sail from Plymouth, England on June 2 1609, aboard the "Sea Venture", the flagship of the Third Supply headed for Jamestown. Many notable people were aboard the same ship: Admiral George Somers, Sir Thomas Gates, Capt. Christopher Newport, Capt. William Pierce, Samuel Jordan, Rev. Richard Bucke and William Strachey, only to name a few. Sarah was likely about 2 months pregnant when they left England. Encountering a hurricane at sea, on July 25 1609, the "Sea Venture" was shipwrecked on what became known as the island of Bermuda. 150 humans and a dog, made it safely ashore, including Sarah and John Rolfe. The rest of the world thought they were all lost at sea. Working together the survivors salvaged what they could from the "Sea Venture" and began building new vessels to allow them to continue their journey. Sarah and John Rolfe welcomed a baby girl in February 1610. Times were uncertain, filled with danger and disease, they would have baptized her almost immediately. On February 11 they christened their infant daughter 'Bermuda', Capt. Christopher Newport and William Strachey stood witness and Rev. Richard Bucke likely performed the ceremony. Not long after that little Bermuda and Sarah both died, the circumstances were not recorded, it was possibly from fever. We only know it was in the Spring of 1610 before the colonists set sail for Jamestown. John Rolfe finally arrived in Virginia on the 24th of May, 1610, tragically his young wife and daughter did not complete the journey with him. Rolfe remained a widower until 1614 when he famously married Pocahontas. |
