He was known as a gentleman, a mariner, and a man who braved any risk - an adventurer. Later fighting Indians in Virginia, he became an officer under King Charles I. Captain John found a challenge he would live and die for on the coast and rivers of Virginia. Virginia was chartered to a privately held organization known as the Virginia Company, but England was in upheaval and the Virginia Company's Governor had seized control of the tobacco trade both in and out of Virginia. Captain John's business shipping tobacco was hurting and he began to identify and deal with those who defied him.
