Notities over Henry Woodward

Henry Woodward got off the ship of Robert Sandford in 1666 to stay and live with the Indians on St. Helena Island and learn their language. There was no settlement between Cape Fear and the Spanish in St. Augustine when he did this. After being in South Carolina for about 6 months he wrote (in good Latin) to a Spanish priest in the area that he had been left by his ship and needed rescuing. The Spanish came and brought him to St. Augustine. The Spanish record says Henry was a native of London, but was not Catholic and they suspected that he might not even be Christian. They put him in the jail in St. Augustine. The Catholic priests got him out of the jail because he could speak the language of the Indians and was a doctor. After some time in St. Augustine Robert Searle, the Privateer, attacked St. Augustine and Henry left with him. While serving with the privateers his ship was shipwrecked on Nevis (ST. Kitt's) Island. The 3 ships coming to found the colony at Charles Towne put into Nevis for supplies. Their record says "We found one Henry Woodward in process of building a ship to come and tell your majesty of his discoveries in the new world. He has joined our expedition. " So Henry was the First Settler to South Carolina He never really got along with the other settlers because he had not crossed the ocean with them and they thought of him as a hitch-hiker. He did many other wondrous things. He was Lord Ashley's Indian Agent. He was given 2,000 acres of land by Lord Ashley and chose James Island. He died in 1685 of a fever he got at the Scottish settlement at Stuarttown. The Scots had jailed him for "trespassing" on Scottish territory. Many Scots died of a fever just after they let Henry go. Henry died of the same fever shortly after that.
