While Ensign Savage and John Smith resided with King Powhatan, the boy’s life was threatened and in danger. Wahunsenacawh’s brother did not trust Ensign Savage. Chief Powhatan and he sent Ensign SAVAGE over to the Eastern Shore with the Accawmacke Laughing King to protect his life. This Child American Indian Spy soon became the Support to the Jamestown settlement that Told of the Pamunkeys plan to poison Jamestown with the Herbal help from the Accawmacke. Historically, it is said the Accawmacke helped the settlers but in truth a spy was in our midst helping to protect the immigrants. Later the Accawmackes would have to fight the SAVAGE family in court for land theft and 650 acres of bayside land was granted via Land Patent.
Many Accawmacke engaged in the business of international trade for centuries .Some were forced by Virginia Slave Codes to adopt christianity. Others loved attending church with Europeans. We also engaged in leadership and politics along with immigrant. But in the 1600s our laws, politics and our own spirituality and dedication to God was in control.
Why should the Palatine Boors be suffered to swarm into our Settlements, and by herding together establish their Language and Manners to the Exclusion of ours? Why should Pennsylvania, founded by the English, become a Colony of Aliens, who will shortly be so numerous as to Germanize us instead of our Anglifying them, and will never adopt our Language or Customs, any more than they can acquire our Complexion.
Which leads me to add one Remark: That the Number of purely white People in the World is proportionably very small. All Africa is black or tawny. Asia chiefly tawny. America (exclusive of the new Comers) wholly so. And in Europe, the Spaniards, Italians, French, Russians and Swedes, are generally of what we call a swarthy Complexion; as are the Germans also, the Saxons only excepted, who with the English, make the principal Body of White People on the Face of the Earth. I could wish their Numbers were increased. And while we are, as I may call it, Scouring our Planet, by clearing America of Woods, and so making this Side of our Globe reflect a brighter Light to the Eyes of Inhabitants in Mars or Venus, why should we in the Sight of Superior Beings, darken its People? why increase the Sons of Africa, by Planting them in America, where we have so fair an Opportunity, by excluding all Blacks and Tawneys, of increasing the lovely White and Red? But perhaps I am partial to the Complexion of my Country, for such Kind of Partiality is natural to Mankind
The Powhatan Pumunkey and the Accawmackes were related, in fact, Pocahontas and Accawmacke Queen Metha (1589) were half-sisters. The famous Accawmacke King during the arrival of the English was inaccurately called Debedeavon. This is due to the fact that Indians seldom allowed their sacred true Indian names to be known. The Accawmacke King was also called the Laughing King, known to have a friendly and happy disposition.
The Laughing King bequeathed his thrown at first, to his brother Kiptopeake, due to the Laughing King’s need to hunt at leisure. Later upon his death, the Laughing King willed the Accawmacke throne to his daughter Nandua. Women played equal and lauded roles in American Indian society. Women were known for skilled sciences and arts, building homes, including teaching and medicine. Respect for the equality of women is part of the Accawmacke culture. The last known royal Accawmacke descendant was known as King Tom, who married Judith Cypress, also an Indian, while listed as King Tom in Court records and in connection to the Gingaskin Reservation.
History books falsely, imply that Ensign Tom Savage having come from England with John Smith as an Interpreter was Anglo. When in fact, the surname Savage itself reveals that the young could not have been Anglo English. First of all, an English person would not willingly call themselves Savage. Also, just the fact Savage was able to interpret American Indian languages as a very young man, denotes he must have been of American Indian Heritage. Recall that Columbus took American Indians to Europe as did Smith on his first voyage to America. It is an intelligent and logical estimation that Ensign Savage was an American Indian living in England who was brought as an interpreter by Smith to Virginia. Recall Smith took American Indian Boys with him to England to train as Interpreter AKA as Spies!
