Thomas Gates
Lord De La Warr was governor of Jamestown in 1610.
This is confusing..... The first official governor of James town is Sir Thomas West, 3rd Baron De La Warr. First qualify what you mean by "Governor" usually a position appointed by the Charter or King.....John Smith was NOT technically a governor from the sources I've seen - they always refer to him as a leader. I have never seen him referrenced as a governor. 1st - George Percy (1909) - but there is nothing that formally appoints him Governor at that time....but he is referred to as president and governor in sources. 2nd - Sir Thomas Gates arrives in 1610 - he is said to be governor by some sources - but nothing official. Finally, Thomas West, 3rd Baron De La Warr arrives with the official commission of governor arrives. I am just as confused as you are - what do they want by the use of Governor? Madmartha Well, I know the first governor of Jamestown, and his name is John Smith. Thanks. Applepie9995
