Col. John F l o o d , in his o w n w o rds
If he could speak to us today, Col. John Flood might describe his life as follows.
I came to Virginia in the Swan in 1610 and was employed for some time by Rev. Alexander
Whitaker at Charles City.
Fortunately, I survived the vicious morning slaughter of 347 colonists by Powhatan chieftain
Opechancanough 22 March 1622/3. To speed the settlement of estates, the Virginia Company ordered an
accounting of the living and dead. When they surveyed my home at Jordan’s Journey in January 1624/5,
I was living with my wife, Marga ret, who came in the Supply in 1620, with her husband William Finch,
and their daughter, Frances Finch. Our son, William Flood, was just three weeks old. 1
Our provisions included 30 bushels of corn and two bushels of peas and beans. In the yard was a pig
and 20 chickens and ducks. I was armed with 3 guns, 10 pounds of shot, a half-pound of gun powder, and
a coat of male. Jordan’s Journey was on the south bank of the James across Bailey Creek from presentday Hopew ell, Virginia.
Margaret and I had three children before her death. M y second wife, Fortune Jordan, a sister of
Col. George Jordan, and I had one child, Walter Flood.
Though I knew the Powhatan well and could speak their language, I was shocked when a second
uprising of 17 April 1644 left 500 of our colonists dead. By 1646 we reduced the Powhatan to small
tribes dependent on our support and the burgesses restricted their chieftain, Necotowance, and his
messengers to commu nicate with the English at only Fort Henry or at my home. 2 In 1646 the House of
Burgesses made me the official Indian interpreter for the Colony with an annual salary was 4,000 pounds
of tobacco. 3
For many years I served in the House of Burgesses at Jamestown, and was also a county justice. I
died in 1658.
John Flood represente d Westover, Flowerdew Hundred, Weyanoke (1631/2), and James City (1643, 1645-46,
1652, 1656) in the Virginia House of Burgesses, 4 and was a justice of Charles City County 25 Feb. 1639/40. 5

La n d grants
John got a patent for 2,100 acres next to Capt. Henry Browne in that part of James City County that became Surry
County in 1638 in consideration of having transported 42 individuals to the Colony. 7 Among his headrights were
Marga ret, Frances Finch, and John Flood Jr. John would re patent 1,100 acres of this tract in 1650. 8 On 20 March
1638/9 John Bradston assigned his 350-acre patent to “John Fludd of Westover plantation,” 9 and a lease granted John
Flood 1 March 1652/3 added an unspecified number of acres to his holdings. 1 0
Thomas Pawlett of Westover sold Flood 50 acres in Charles City County next to John Clay 3696:1 2 Oct. 1634. 1 1
His death
John was living in June 1658 but was dead by 14 Nov. 1658 when his son Thomas sold William Jennings, “all
land in his occupation which he formerly held by lease from his father, Col. John Flood.” 1 2
Col. Jordan was “trustee of the [now-los t] Will of Coll. John Flood, deceased” 29 Oct. 1670,

Children of Col. J o h n Flood
Arranged below is the information we have regarding the 4 children of Col. John Flood and their descendants.
2 . William Flood 2 (c.1624-)
William Flood, son of William and Margaret ( — ) Finch Flood, was born about 1 Jan. 1624/5 and probably died

purchased from the estate of Col. John Flood. 1 7

Southside Virginia Genealogies
Although his father’s will is now missing, a 1669 deed reveals that John Flood ordained that his home and orchard
be sold, and 2 mares and certain livestock be given to his son Walter Flood at age 16. The home and orchard had since
been sold to John Cary who gave “two good heavy mares” to Walter at age 16 and promised to give him a parcel of
land on the west side of Ware Swamp at age 21. 2 0
Cary, who planned to take Walter to England with him to see to his education, gave bond to George Jordan and
Thomas Flood to care for his estate in Dec. 1671. This transcription of the bond reveals the arrangem ent. 2 1

orphant brother unto my wife, and Walter Flood being intended to go to England with me and because of the

on 820 acres in Surry County in 1704. 2 7 His wife was Ann Browne BH:72, a daughter of Maj. William Browne of
