"Thomas Savage, Gentleman and Ensign.
The First White Settler on the Eastern Shore of Virginia.

Hostage to Powhatan 1608; His Loyalty and Fearlessnss endeared him to the Great King who treated him as his son, while he rendered invaluable aid to the Colony as Interpreter. Greatly beloved by Debedeavon, the Laughing King of the Accawmackes. He was given a Tract of Nine Thousand Acres of Land known as Savage's Neck.
